United need to rebuild after a bad spell of managers (good luck with Ole's predecessor btw, you'll need it ) and absolutely terrible squad management, they need to nail their signings and bring academy talent into the squad. Ole is doing these things and it's important not to stray from this path, with or without him. Would Poch agree to this at this particular time?
I know we'll need that luck as soon as the honeymoon ends. Which could be quick if the results don't follow. A lot of Spurs fans aren't super pleased to have Mourinho, and are basically hoping for the best but expecting the worst. At United he was a failure who won a couple trophies and brought that squad to second, which at this point would be a dream scenario. So I guess we'll see what happens.
