The Mourinho Thread

[Blue_Fox_ 2,086]

how can you talk about dignity when you show none towards our players! you described them as 'your stars' yesterday, so i take it that means you dont want to be associated with them?

He also shows no class towards other members of the forum...insulting and calling names left and right! Talk about class and dignity.

The way some people on this forum get on you would think the Premier League was a popularity contest. Would the José out squad be loving life if we were 16th only instead we had a Brendan Rogers type, deludedly talking about how great we are and getting his arse licked by the press?

Are the only options we have Brendan and Jose?

If we sack Mourinho and hire Avran Grant I wil say Roman is an Iluminati.

I bet Kevin will agree with me on that

i'm involved in grass roots football and I can honestly say the FA have given......FA

Really? That's wicked, coaching?

[LDN Blue 7,903]

They have to be a microcosm of FIFA. Corrupt as fuck.

You got an insight when the story broke about Mark Palios and Sven Goran Eriksson, they were both on champagne jollies, and both fucking Fariah Alam. Mind you, cant blame em

Hahaha how could I forget?! Oh Sven, so misunderstood he was - Brings me onto another thing, the FA are weird when they select England managers. We had the greatest English manager who never managed England (Clough), then we rejected the only English manager who's actually more suited to England get passed up (Redknapp) & then we pissed off Capello who's actually one of the most successful coaches of this era over John Terry?!

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho insists he won't be sacked

Asked if he would still be in charge if the Blues finish mid-table, he said: "Yes. I was not told that because we don't expect to finish mid-table."

A club statement backing the Portuguese was released two days later. He said it was issued to "close your [the media's] mouth".

"For me the important thing is the owner and the board's message to myself," he added.

"Before the statement came out, I was having the feedback from the owner and the board. So the statement was not something new for me.

"I met the owner before dinner so, when I went to dinner, I knew.

"But even before that, I knew what brought me here. I know the conversation we had two years ago.

"I know what made me sign a new contract, and the reasons why the owner and the board decided to give me a new contract.

"They didn't have to. I had still two more years, so they didn't have to give me a new contract.

"After a bad result - which is not the first bad result of the season, obviously I was not happy, far from it. But I never thought about being sacked."

In the kingdom of the blind the one eyed man is king. If Mourinho thinks that Roman and the board would be happy with a mid table finish then he's not looking at the bigger picture. Lets say we did come 11th just watch from February the way that the crowds will drop off. The clamour for tickets for the day trippers and tourists will wane and when we are playing the likes of Stoke and W.B.A who never sell there full allocation we will be playing in front of crowds of 32,000. Unless they start dropping prices and history dictates they won't. F.A.cup games won't sell out either Champions League ones will (if we're still in it !).

Chelsea need Champions League football like a vampire needs blood the loss of revenue will be catastrophic, as i said crowds will be down and the top players won't come. Which brings me to the really worrying part the Wembley move. We can take the piss out of other clubs support Man City's especially where they practically give tickets away. But if we are struggling what sort of crowds will we get at Wembley?. If the whole point of moving to Wembley is to get bigger crowds at the Bridge and we start getting crowds of less then 42,000 we will be a laughing stock especially among other fans. I hate to say it but Spurs would fill Wembley comfortably regardless of how well the team are doing.

Which brings me back to Mourinho i hate Wenger as much as the next man but he's always got Arsenal into the top four. Specialist in failure? maybe, mid table finish never. It doesn't really bode confidence when your manager is talking about a mid table finish this early in the season something is wrong and badly wrong in and around the club.

where has this finishing mid table talk come from? At the presser yesterday it was about being much higher up the table by Dec/Jan and in previous soundbytes he is still talking about top 4

[Thendo 1,088]

^They usually have a PC only for newspapers after the broadcasted one. I think he was asked if he thinks the club would keep him even if we finnished mid table, which is silly (because we obviously wont, right? ).

[Barbara 15,149]

no some obviously value trophies above all else ,, seems you are in that group , ENJOY

what if I am? Since when is that anyone's business? Do you mean that as an attack? Well, I think everyone has the right to feel whatever way they want and I find it so childish for others to judge it. If people only think about trophies, is their right and prerogative. Others would rather have a style, even without titles and some, ironically enough talk about dignity, even if they show very little of it... to each their own. Respect should be a mark of everyone though, that shouldn't be negotiable and very often some members here cross that line, despite their so 'noble' speech. Talk about irony, or talk about real life, we always value things what we don't have our lives...

I'll enjoy Chelsea, thank you very much, regardless of what others - opposition or 'support' think of the team or the manager. I don't need any validation - especially in something as passionate as sports where the fun of it is when your team wins, but also to mock your opponent. My 6yo students have a better gist of that than some of you and they're supposed to be childish because they're kids after all...

Mourinho v Klopp in two weeks' time. The media will be wanking themselves over that one.

some of the over reactive 'wendies' on here will be knocking one out as as we speak as they think up posts to troll us with.

When its built up to be a ' Mourinho versus X, Y or Z' more often than not he prevails

Said it before never really cared if we didn't win anything this season just as long as he uses youngest players.

The thing is that there's no consistency.

He can do it now but two or three games later he goes back to the same.

You watch when Ivanovic is fit he will start again.
