Is Tottenham Jose Mourinho's Next Destination?

If Mourinho is sacked by Chelsea, which clubs in the Premiership would have the money and ambition to hire him? I believe there's only other club in England Jose would consider and that's Tottenham Hotspur.
Martin Jol has done a decent job, but his side has been too inconsistent for the amount of money they've spent on transfers. Spurs's match against Sevilla last Thursday sums up their inconsistent season.
Of course, the rivalry between Spurs and Chelsea fans is pretty huge. However if Mourinho gets kicked out into the street by the Chelsea board, Jose should have no qualms about making the trip from the west end of London to north London.
The only two other likely candidates in the Premiership for Mourinho other than Spurs are Newcastle and Manchester City. However, both clubs have no chance of qualifying for Europe next season, so I believe they're both ruled out.
Jose, do you know your way to White Hart Lane?
If you're a Spurs fan, listen to the interview with Tottenham legend Alan Mullery on the EPL Talk Podcast.

Stick with Jol and do it the Spurs way
Mourinho would be the right man for Spurs, but I think that it would be a step backwards for him, and can't see that as a possibility. He has already done about all he can in England. I think that the only steps forward he can make are to go to one of the big clubs in Europe (AC Milan, Inter, Juventus, Real Madrid, Barca) or to become the manager of one of the elite National squads when he feels like he needs a break.
Jol, on the other hand, has suffered only due to overly raised expectations. We very nearly made it in to the Champion's League in 05-06. In the end he took Spurs in to Europe in his first full season in charge. Whatever people say, his budget has not been exceptionally large.
This year we have had three good cup runs, going out in competitions to the current premiership champions, a very talented Arsenal side and a the current uefa cup holders. Hardly shameful loses. We were the equals of Chelsea for large parts of those games and have beaten them in the league.
The team has been inconsistent, that is true, but then half of the current team weren't here last season. Teams very rarely click immediately and while Chelsea can afford to buy world class players and then sell them if they don't work out, Spurs can't. That necessitates slow team building. And surely anyone can see that this is what is taking place.
I really can't believe how stupid some so called supporters are. Jol has done something that so many before him have failed to do. He has made Spurs in to a very good team. Given a year or two more this very good team could become a great team. But no, you lot want it all now. Well if that's the case then why not go and support Chelsea?
Jol has achived remarkable things at Spurs in a short time - with young players.
I've been watching Spurs since the late 70s, and since the mid-90s the team has been totally mediocre. Now there are grounds for optimism.
To all those who say otherwise, just think about it a little more.
This whole discussion is pointless - Mourinho is a top manager - but we already have one.
Jol was right, Bothroyd is a'greater manager' than mourinho...i,e done more to his team....his whole team cost less than one celsea's flop striker.
Jose's the best why would he come to a club lik your's. It stinks.
Jose's the best. the best!!!!!!!
