Trying to comprehend the big news story of the day. THFC =24, Jose =25. I feel sad for Poch as the last few seasons have been the best i have ever known & wish him well.

Levy doesn't love to spend
I don't see the love story going sweet.
But who am I? If I speak, I am in trouble. #Joseisback
2. 'Cant wait for Jose to take Spurs to the promise lands'
Jose to Spurs - wow didn’t see that coming!! Don’t think Spurs fans will be too happy with Jose’s style of football and it seems like a very quick decision to get rid of Pochettino and appoint Jose within 24 hours.

Thoughts everyone?
Jose to spurs Part of me buzzing for him to be back. Part of me heartbroken he has gone to another English team

Cant wait for Jose to take Spurs to the promise lands, and make United looks like idiots. Just have this bad feeling in my gut that it was the board's fault he was trash because the players weren't up to calibre.

3. 'Delighted to see this man back in the game'
Jose Mourinho has won more competitive matches against Tottenham Hotspur (13) during his managerial career than versus any other team

Without doubt my favourite Mourinho moment during his #mufc tenure, although a close call with Juve away. All the more fitting he’s shaking the hand of the man he’s now replaced.
— Jack West (@MrJackSWest) November 20, 2019
Nevertheless, I’m delighted to see this man back in the game. All the best, Jose pic.twitter.com/zyOd743ZZ3
So, Jose #Mourinho in at Spurs. He loves a job where he has total control over transfers and where the final word isnt left with a penny-pinching bean counter with zero football knowlwdge; so its bound to go well! Wait, what....
