Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL)

Pochettino is a great coach to my eyes he is better that Mourinho.
The Spurs needed a change and the hope that Mourinho is going to bring it. They cannot go even worse. Mourinho is going to bring some positive results to Tottenham and he is going to take the credits for that as well - stating that he is the special one.

It is surprising that Mourinho chose to coach Tottenham. Pochettino and Mourinho cannot be compared because their experienced is different, Mourinho more longer as a coach, but I'm sure with new club Pochettino will get more success.
There are several clubs that might be interested in him, but do not know which club he will choose.

Mourinho silverwear record is very impressive, he has won atleast one trophy with every club he has managed and that's sometime Tottenham desperately need. Finishing top 5 is very possible since he (Mourinho) has all the experience a manager can ask off. His competition right now are Arsenal and Manchester United, Tottenham with or without Mourinho can finish top 5 above this guys without much stress, lets not forget they have been in the top 4 for the last four years. And Mourinho is a far better manager than Pochettino, he'll definitely bring out the best out of the team in regards to winning tournaments. Watch out for kane

I believe the question now should be, can Mourinho win Tottenham some silverware in the shortest time possible, my answer to that would be yes, Europa or Carabao Cup probably. Also lets keep a close eye on his first match in charge (against west ham) to see how the squad respond.

... that was with Pochettino at the helm.

Now a new era has started and I am not sure Mourinho is the man for the job. Tottenham are a big club waiting to be called a giant club, they are a giant club in the making ever since they moved in to their new stadium with a 62,000 crowd capacity. The money being generated by Tottenham now is immense. If Mourinho can be part of that success then he will continue to add positive things to his CV but I hope he gets enough time to turn things around rather be judged just at Christmas or end of the season.

One of the things that got Mourinho upset and fall out with Woodward was the fact he was not allowed to buy and sell players he wanted, especially during his final season. Levy is notoriously cautious with the club purse-strings and I cannot see him spending the way Mourinho wants.

Mourinho wanted to go to a Premier League club but either he should have waited for Zidane to leave Real Madrid or he should have tried for the Bundesliga (Bayern Munich) to add another country and club to his list.

If they boost their squad as I expect they would, yes. The season is far from over, and there  are a couple of teams in the  current top six who can have  a change of form at anytime in the season. Mourinho would offer a lot in terms of transfer management and he is known to introduce his type of players into his team.
He is the special one and would not want to get sacked again, so I'm sure he'll have secured a couple of deals behind closed doors before signing the deal.
Do you think Mou would last longer than three years at Tottenham?

If Mourinho is coming then surely its going to be very interesting because his track recored here in Premier League is not bad at all and Spurs are also going in top four for some last seasons now he will try to bring some new players and management allow the hopefully this is going good otherwise Mourinho is not going to stay here for long time likePochettino because he cannot do work like outgoing manager.

Not this season, no. It’ll take him a couple of transfer windows to build a team in his way. I think Eriksen, Alderweireld & Vertonghen are in the final year of their contracts so they’ll go in the summer. Jose will need time to build his squad.

They have different experience but Pochettino is more on the modern football.
Mourinho might have chosen the Spurs as he couldn't be able to find any other team to manage - especially the big ones.

Tottenham's summer transfers should be fun to follow next year.    And I hope he gets Rui Faria back in his coaching staff.

It can be very interesting. Tottenham and Levy are very stingy, I can't see Mourinho in his way. I will not surprised if Mou makes a serious result in CL, FA ... there is still some of the very good players which they do not forget to play football. Mou is a specialist for "one game" competitions now without pressure can do it something good. Also, it is his last chance to do something more and get back to the first league of managers.

Just when you think Mourinho is gone for good in the PL he comes back. The bus is back & I think he’s ready to annoy everybody all over again

Pochettino had only spend of around 110m euro during his charge at Tottenham.

Compared to Mourinho's two years at Manchester United that spend of around 320m, does Levy is ready to spend really a lot of money in the upcoming transfer window? Let's see .. so far Paulo dybala would be main Mourinho transfer target priority and nemanja matic the player that Mourinho loved since he was in benfica also on the list , who else?

Things don't seems to be working out for Pochettino and Tottenham Hotspurs this season but I had a feeling that everything was eventually was going to work out for them in the end though. Sacking Pochettino was a mistake but Mourinho has at his disposal one of the best teams in Europe and he might start targeting the EPL next season.

It was a shocker to see Mourinho being chosen as the new Tottenham Coach. I knew that Pochettino would be dropped but I expected it to be at the end of the season considering his contribution to the club for years now. The Premier League will get more interesting bow with Pep, Klopp and Mourinho. Let's see if Mourinho can do what Pochettino couldn't ~ That is keeping Tottenham in the top 4 this season.  The Premier League is becoming hot again 🔥🔥🔥

Pochettino can go to Ac Milan next year.
If they want a comeback on the elite teams Pochettino can be a good choice.
Keep in mind the origin of Pochettino is Italian so he can be happy to come on the land of his parents.

[JollyGood]

He should definitely take a break. He is a top manager even though he has not won a trophy yet. He should wait until the end of the season before taking a suitable job.

Pochettino obviously was tempted by Real Madrid last season and two seasons ago so if he went there (providing Zidane was sacked) - then it would be a dream come true for him.

He is a top manager even though he has not won a trophy yet

What is a top manager?

Someone who wins a bunch of trophies? Someone who makes their teams/players play really good football? Maybe both? Does Poch excels in either of those items? IMO, no, he doesn't, so I wouldn't call him a top manager. He hasn't won anything in his maneragial career, and his teams don't have an unique or outstanding style of play, also, he's not a tactical mastermind.

If Poch is a top manager just for getting Tottenham to play a CL final and compete in the top 4 in the last few years in the EPL, then what Ranieri did with Leicester automatically makes him one of the best managers of all time   

People seem to forget that Tottenham used to be a mid-table team until the mid 2000s when the likes of Martin Jol and Redknapp took over, team went from 10th or 14th position every year, to enter Top 5 thanks to them. To me, that's a far bigger achievement than going from Top 5 to Top 3 which is what Poch did (Champions League is a different story). Just my two cents.

It is all about opinions.

If a manager came in at Old Trafford and took Manchester United to a 5th, 3rd, 2nd, 3rd and 4th over 5 years I would not say he was a great manager because more is expected for that club. The same applies to Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool because of the level they are at.

If a Ranieri can take Leicester City to the Premier League title but have zero consistency and zero longevity over near 18 months in charge before getting sacked after a fluke season vs Pochettino who provided consistency and stability over 5 years with 5th, 3rd, 2nd, 3rd and 4th place finishes in the league as well as a Champions League final - for me Pochettino is the clear winner. Others can disagree but we are all entitled to our opinion.

By joining Mourinho Tottenham then I think this could improve Spurs' position to a better rank, and I believe Mounrinho under his care he will be able to increase his troops and find great players and under his instructions all players will obey him.

Sometimes I feel sorry for players and managers because of this. All their hard work on the pitch is ignored and summarized into a single or two words such as 'flop', 'good manager' etc. Hopefully, they don't take it too personally, especially coming from pundits who make money by spewing some bullshit regularly.
