I for one don't think it was just a show, he often got a heavy fine for saying some things he shouldn't have, but he stood up for us, yes i know he was on big bucks.
He criticized the atmosphere and he's got a point, too many tourists and less cheering, imo. At the end he said thank you to our support. Fair play, imo.

Yes, this season we lost and lost and lost, especially the game against the new boys Bournemouth was really bad, what can i say, there's nothing to say to make it better, sadly.
I knew that the term 'plastic' would trigger problems and i didn't want that. I wasn't actually talking about you, just fed up with the lack of respect of some on here,
i had the feeling that as i said above you are around for quite some time and far longer than me and i was right. Incredible stuff!

I just wish that there isn't as much rushing as it is. I don't like the sacking but things were really bad, that's all i have to say.
No problems with you and sorry for the word, should have put it better.

Anyway, we should stop talking in this particular thread about Jose because otherwise Special Juan will get very angry, wrong topic.

Regards!

No problem mate

I love Guus to bits but the only difference is that the players have been prepared to try for him. Had they been ready to try for Jose we'd be above 10th but they fooled themselves into believing that they are as good as they imagine themselves to be. They decided that they could go out and play however they liked and still win football matches. They have presumably learned now that they are not as good as they imagined. Only Jose could win with this mob and then only if they implemented his plans.

I do think that the manager/coach is picking the team without interference but I suppose it's fair enough to speculate that he may not be. I find it harder to see what you mean by corruption however. Was it just a throw away word that you didn't really mean, or are you being serious?

I guess corruption might be a stronger term than what i was originally looking for.
I was referring mostly to the questionable decisions that have been made recently, from staff, to recruitment, to first XI, mostly pinned down on one, or in some cases, two men.
Of course those could be genuine mistakes, simple lack of judgement, favouritism, or being unqualified to perform a job. But i don't believe it far fetched, that some of these decisions have been made with ulterior motives in mind, and in some cases not even taken by the two men in question.
Sadly, it is the nature of every environment in which money flows in large quantities.

Of course, and the club backed Mourinho all the way. 

To all those saying Mourinho never got any backing. 

It was after he screwed up that things changed. But we can see the club back him well.

When 2 boxers fight, they have both their hands available.

In football, both teams start with 11 players, one team does not start with 10 men or without a keeper.

For someone to "fight" for something, the conditions need to be fair. Without any audition, without any evidence, Jose decided that oscar was his one and only no.10. Sorry, but no player deserves the treatment that Kdb and mata met.

Also, it cant be possible that Kdb, Mata, Lukaku, Bertrand, Luis etc etc did not want to "fight". Maybe the problem was not these players but Jose's shit man-management.

A lot of fans thought Mourinho was right too, even on here after De Bruyne stunk it up against Swindon Town

True I remember. 

But now we realize that he is not good for youth. We gave him the benefit of the doubt. 

The club is going a different direction, is not like the first time he was here. 

Oh well let's hope the next manager can work well with us and don't lose the team. 

[Eidur the Spider 4,515]

He looks class, this hurts a lot. Ah well at least we have Oscar......

 

[Special Juan 27,439]

Look at the way he has just glided up the field....fucking class this kid.

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,920]

Going to be an absolute monster for Pep.

 

His ceiling could end up being higher than Hazards.

I remember he had the class when he was at Bremen and that's why most of us got excited. 

But Mourinho happen and no point in talking about that anymore. We now know he is not good for youth.
