The Mourinho Thread

[Laylabelle 9,296]

The interview was with Chelsea TV, I think. Don't think he could just ignore it. Could have certainly said less than he did though.

He's dropped way more hints other times before when been asked.Maybe this time is a good sign

In point talking about fighting spirt need to show it

Like Choo Choo alluded to earlier, there's really no point in the players saying they still have the manager's back. Gotta prove it on the pitch and if the recent results and performances are anything to go by, then they suggest the opposite. Even if they don't want to play for the manager, then play for everyone else associated with the club. Show some bloody commitment, desire and passion for goodness sake!

That's what annoys me about the whole not playing for a manager.We can't exactly go to work and think nah don't get on with the manager so gana do sod all.They need to grow up and get a grip if that is the case!fans make the effort to turn up they need to do the same to

Not just us who hates Ivanovic then .

We're not at Madrid or Barcelona level tbh.

Yep. Some of the players that start for us wouldn't make their bench.

True, but Klopp is just another Chelsea experiment. Like Peace was just talking about identity above, what exactly do we want from this team/any manager? We seem to hire managers that don't seem to get the best out of any squad we've built. Mourinho can't unlock Hazard's potential, AVB couldn't make Hazard/Mata/Oscar click together, Scolari couldn't bring the South American flare to Chelsea. What exactly are we building here? Let's be frank, our next coach won't last longer than 3 seasons, let's accept that.. So what's the long term strategy exactly?

[Laylabelle 9,296]

We just don't seem to know who/want we want.hire a new manager and no doubt all go the same as before and before know it looking all over again

[LDN Blue 7,903]

You know what I hate about this place? There are posts here that, despite you being on one side of the fence, ever so slightly make you change your perception of what is and what should be. (I love it though, shout out to the quality of posts in here once you filter out the garbage lol)

The magic of Mourinho is leaving me & that makes me sad to be honest. I guess this is how Liverpool fans felt when Dalglish didn't live up to his heights the first time around.

But I'll still refrain from calling him a 'disgrace' or a 'cunt'. Like it or not, he's a very important part of our history and deserves the same respect.

Safe to say quite a few Chels wont be inviting him for dinner

[lionsden 4,689]

What is one supposed to say about Peace's post though?

He says stability is established by the club having an identity in terms of playing style and then he goes on to use Barcelona as an example.

In my opinion, the two worst examples to use in football are Barcelona and Alex Ferguson, because there's nothing like them.

No. The point of his post is that a well defined and implemented identity is what gives a club stability and not necessarily the ability to retain the same manager for many years. A good example of how the board have contributed greatly to our lack of identity is how they invested tons into the academy and youth players with the promise of one day producing first team players out of the crop and changing the style of play for more attacking and expansive one and that was reflected in the type of players we were buying but then what did they did the most confusing thing ever by employing a manager who is the very opposite of what the club is aiming to achieve to oversee the project.

That's just poor planning and implementation of policy.they are all over the place with what it is they really aim to achieve.

You will never see well run clubs with an identity like Bayern and barca buy players and hire managers who go against the clubs policy/identity. The decisions from which manager to hire to which players to buy etc are done with great levelnof purpose at these clubs.

And those who do will have ulterior motives

I'm fairly sure we in the forum don't know, i doubt the board and Roman don't know what they want to do right now, if so....god help us

You mean his big arse ?

More like...they'll have him for dinner.

That's our manager. When we win, he claims to be the best. When we lose, the team is bad, the referees are awful, but he still claims to be the best.

Did you even watched yesterday's interview? Jose said he is the best coach Chelsea has even had and it would be useless to argue with that. I can't say I like what he said but it's truth. And these claims "when we win Jose claims himself to be the best" is complete false. He never says that. I don't know what he thinks but he always praises the players. Watch his interviews after winning titles then...

Yo Conficius, AVB was before that trio were at the club.

Lionsden is spot on with that latest post. It's the lack of vision that hurts any kind of stability. You needed a spoon but you got a knife.

Not defending Fabregas lack of form but I'm surprised most people actually think his role is DM.
