It's been reported that Kane was the only player by the end that was still happy playing for Mourinho

Toby Alderweireld has revealed that he and his teammates were sad to see Jose Mourinho and his coaching staff leave Tottenham last week.”

Tottenham captain Hugo Lloris has insisted that his teammates must take the blame for Jose Mourinho’s sacking.”

Sounds like just Kane.

Honestly what players say in public and private (like with most people) is different. 

Absolutely. But if they all hated him as much as reported, they wouldn’t be falling over themselves to back him. They have no reason to. Players also usually love a cheeky Instagram jibe after a sacking too.

"Only Harry Kane was loyal to Mourinho at the end"

Oh, that’s settled then. 

If you read the article it's pretty in depth about how it all fell apart and most players ended up hating him and his methods

Mourinho needs a team he can craft in his own image, a team in which he’s essentially the only personality. I think he and Rafa are similar in that way, though they go about it in different ways. As players become bigger personalities and “brands” themselves, someone like Mourinho will struggle to impose his will.

He’d be a tremendous hire for a club like us (under a different owner). He’s an asshole, but he’s still one of the brilliant minds in the game.

Bang on RE the personality thing, I think he also needs to be at a club where the fans would be right behind him over the players if you like, like with Rafa here, and I think he’d get that at NUFC easily. I do think he needs some time out of the game though.

Said it at the time, but Spurs will rue the day they got rid of Poch.

Depends on the choices they make imo. There are other good managers out there Allegri and Rafa to name a couple. They maybe in a similar position to us after Sir Bobby left us. 
 

if Arsenal, are bought and get their act together, and obviously with Leicester being very well ran and Wet Ham doing well and potentially us under the Saudi’s, it could be some time before they qualify for the champions league again.

Agree, he even mentioned he would fancy a project reviving a big name club which had fallen from previous heights, I think he mentioned us and Villa by name.

Benitez would be stupid to go there. Things are not good off the pitch which ultimately means they won’t be good on the pitch either.

They are massively in debt. Huge constraints over improving the squad, can they even keep hold of their better players at this stage?

That negativity seeps into the dressing room. There’s fuck all a manager can do about it when that rot sets in which I believe has started.

Harry Kane wouldn’t want to waste much more time there.

As for Mourinho, he needs to take a proper break from the game, maybe a year or two. He seems to have lost his way a bit. His next move is critical, a bit like Benitez really.

Rafa's reputation is weirdly low, he just seems very unpopular outside of the clubs he has managed. When his name comes up in regard to the Spurs job he is dismissed with no discussion, when really they should be falling over themselves to hire him. Coming here and going to China probably didn't do wonders for his reputation as a top club manager (not that Spurs are a top club, they're certainly not).

I thought Potter might be a decent fit for Spurs. Even Eddie Howe but I guess he's going to end up at Celtic.

Would be interested to see how he'd do at a team with people who can shoot on target. Would love him here even if he looks like a total Wellend.
