Don't know about it being a love-in but surely it's easy to recognise he's done a good job at spurs, whether he's won a trophy or not. Compare his record to Man Utd and Arsenal, both bigger clubs who have spent more money, in the last few years and also consider they've moved to a new stadium.
It's far to simple to say he hasn't won anything therefore he's over rated.
I could see him going to Madrid.
