This reeks of desperation.
But we're not. We're 2 points off a CL spot & a matter of weeks away from a Cup Final. We can & most certainly should be doing much better than Harry poxy Redknapp.In case you haven't noticed Steve, that's the situation we are just about in now.
We thought a similar thing last season apart from the cup final. It was always a case of "if" we do this we have a chance to get top 4. But we never did. So far the last couple of months have shown that Jose can't get a consistent tune out of the squad which is needed to push into the CL places.But we're not.

The thing is such a drastic change could be just as unsettling as sticking with Mo. Then what? Ta very much Harry.... now piss off.We thought a similar thing last season apart from the cup final.

If sticking means just missing out again, then why not be unsettling and trying to instigate the change that drives us forward again. At worst we miss out on CL football, which we look like we are going to do anyway.The thing is such a drastic change could be just as unsettling as sticking with Mo. Then what?

That's my opinion on cutting our losses with Jose but I do agree with the sentiment that Harry has had his go at Spurs already and turned his back on us despite the backing he received during his court case. There has to be better options out there.
I'm still unconvinced lads. I just don't see how a 6 week stint with an interim head coach can be deemed beneficial. If anything it's just as risky as sticking with Mo.
I seem to recall a certain Mr. Glenn Hoddle taking over from The Man in the Raincoat. I was most displeased. Let me explain why.
We had just won the League Cup with him at the turn of the year & a Cup double was on the cards. Just a week before the Cup SF we appointed Glenn who went on to lose the game. I'll always remember the sense of bitter disappointment. Not because he was appointed but because of the timing of his appointment. I thought it was a very rash decision at the time. If we were do it again i'd feel no different. In a one off game i'd still view Mo as an asset despite the turmoil he's created.
Looking back on that season my feeling is the players were playing for personal glory in the CL. The spur was a rare chance to win a medal in a Spurs shirt. And one of the games biggest honours. Whereas the league offered, at best, a top 4 spot. Maybe qualifying for the CL had lost its novelty a little bit? For players like Eriksen, who clearly thought he was leaving in the summer, it was no incentive.That is the risk. A couple of years back, we all saw how motivated the players were in the CL quarters and semis and how demotivated they were in the league games. It was relegation form.
It's possible that they could play like a pack of animals against City and win the game even with Mourinho. They were certainly up for it in the autumn and did the job.

This isn't unique to Spurs' players though. We've seen Arsenal win numerous FA Cups in recent years - often against top teams - but the same players perform abjectly in the league.
So there is a possibility we could see the same against City. A lot will depend on how Jose sets the team up. Of course, the players could ignore his game plan and go for personal glory.
Would take Harry Redknapp back in a heartbeat. He was tactically wanting in the big games but without a doubt I enjoyed his tenure here more than anyone else since Burkinshaw.
If the information I was told last night is correct, then our next 10 years will be shaped by the next 2 months. If it is true, Mourinho is going nowhere.

Are you saying Mourinho's position is safe regardless of worst-case outcome this season?
