With Tottenham Hotspur on top of the Premier League just a year after his decision to appoint José Mourinho as manager made him the subject of much eye-rolling and mockery, chief suit Daniel Levy had every reason to wake up feeling smug this morning. Or even more smug than usual. Having been told by assorted armchair experts and daily football emails that Mourinho was a cranky, contrarian has-been who football had finally passed by, Levy could clap himself on the back after Tottenham’s smiting of Manchester City, crow about how he’d been proved right and point out that the rest of us wouldn’t know good management material if it had once performed an embarrassing body-pop on the Wembley touchline.
