Why Jose Mourinho Will Never Be Spurs Manager

I would have thought this was most obvious to all soccer fans and critics, but to my surprise, everyone talks about how Mourinho is tied up by contractual obligations not to take up another job within the year in England.

Think about this - if you were a Spurs fan, would you really want Mourinho to be your team's manager? Afterall the hate and venom spewed towards most of the previous managers in the London club's history, I would imagine Mourinho to be the LEAST welcomed candidate.

Why?

I mean, have you seen Chelsea play when Mourinho was still Special?

Can you imagine a player like Michael Essien in Spurs' jerseys? Or an otherwise physical juggernaut like Drogba to be a Spurs legend?

Hell no! Neither of them are exactly good at trapping the ball with their first touch, much less string more than a couple of passes together. One is a destroyer, the other goes for long range rockets that miraculously creep in the net and gets hailed as a striker extraordinaire as a result.

What Spurs fans really want aren't results. It's beautiful flowing soccer. If they win, good for it. If they lose, be thankful you get to watch games with 4-4 scorelines - what soccer should truly be like.

If they lose AND play like crap, sack the manager. I don't see Jol lasting much longer, to be honest. When a player like Berbatov starts thinking he's bigger than the team and club, then it shows just how much the manager has lost the plot.

Of course, the chairman or club owner gets the ultimate say in who is to be manager. But woe be the person who hires Mourinho and subjects the White Hart Lane faithful to dreary (but winning) soccer. He'll be the first to be forced out of the club even before they turn on that teary-eyed Portugese with a talent for well-timed dramatics.

Come to think of it, maybe Jose CAN be Spurs manager. He'll be primetime entertainment on the sidelines!
