"Mou and Tottenham? It's a marriage of convenience"

For Neville, the 'Special Ones' signing for Spurs goes beyond what was expected at the London club. "Historically, if you asked me if Daniel Levy could bring in a coach at Jose Mourinho's level, I would say never in a million years".

"Winning games is not the main reason to sign Mourinho, it's an advantage... to protect his income. This is a marriage of convenience," he added to his explanation.

According to the former 'Reds Devils' player, Mourinho misses his success: "Jose wants to return to the elite of European football to win trophies and Levy needs to be in the Champions League and must keep the players that he currently has."
