The Mourinho Thread

on the contrary, i have the feeling the he wants to do a SAF. create a legacy. make a dynasty.

It's actually pretty amazing to think that even though Jose was only with us for 3 seasons when he first came, the core of that team stayed and managed to win silverware for a long time. Even up till the CL win you could feel It was Jose's team that managed to fight against all odds and win it.

I'm really looking forward to a long future with him. I hope that he sets us up perfectly for at least another decade of success even after he leaves. And boy, he's off to a good start.

In fact Jose was defending the team and the club with his 'digs' at the other clubs. Many have been critical of Chelsea's approach to winning this titile and Jose has adressed said critics suitably. If you can't see that he having a light hearted joke at the critic's expense than perhaps a visit to the opthalmologist is best!

[Laylabelle 9,754]

I have this bad feeling that once (or if) he wins CL with us, he will eventualy move on to next challenge. I hope Im wrong though.

I think before he would've done seeing as that was all he hadn't won but hopefully now after being gone and coming back all be different.want to create something long lasting sort of thing.

His family has finally settled in London. It's going to be much harder for him to do foreign adventures now

Yeah it could be that, but its Mourinho. If something realy clicks in his head that he wants to do SAF at Chelsea, then he will hopefuly stay.

But there are mindgames in him all the time and once (if) Inter gets back on top, he might manage them again. Or some other team in England.

Thing is he is the man who wants new challenges, new achievements; win titles with diff teams in different tournaments...on other hand he realy seems to like Chelsea. But we will see what is more important to him. Family could play big part though.

[lionsden 4,689]

Did he ever have too? I can't remember anyone making the constant snide digs at his title wins that Greenie has for us this time, or one of the managers trying to claim a moral victory over a recent game like LVG did at his post season awards?

Not to mention with the possible exception of 2011 I don't think anyone try and claim his team were poor champions, I guess Mou just feels defensive towards his player's who have worked bloody hard to win this title and get little respect for it.

I see where you are coming from but you still expect some level of professionalism from the manager of a top flight football team.

Kudos for having the maturity and intelligence to refute my statement without resorting to gutter language though.

[lionsden 4,689]

I genuinely wonder why you have the stomach to continue posting here. Whether its your fault or other people's, you just don't get along with many of us.

Perhaps better to move on for both parties? Idk...

What sort of grown man walks/runs away over hostility from complete strangers and keyboard warriors over the internet. Life is way harder and harsher than that in the real world. That's such a pussy talk.

Moreover if I cared about being "accepted" I would just follow the crowd and kiss a lot of asses but that's not my style. Someone who's vying for acceptance or cared about the hostility would have changed his posting style a longtime ago.

Expect more brutal honesty and unadulterated posts from me in the future.

That's the spirit. The forum would be boring if everybody just agreed anyways

The world needs more shepards, but ones with valid opinions.

[Adnane 1,101]

So the reason you're actually posting this brutal honesty and unadulterated posts on the forum is just to avoid "riding the wave" ? Are your blue brothers chelsea fans too mainstream for you ?

I admit, I don't know you, not even your posts here before the mourinho moaning since I didn't visit a lote, but you still haven't answered the genuine question posted a bit earlier, why do you support Chelsea ?

How people love Chelsea and hate Mourinho at the same time is beyond me, it's like supporting Araenal and expecting to win, just impossible stuff dude.

[LAM09 7,100]

I have this bad feeling that once (or if) he wins CL with us, he will eventualy move on to next challenge. I hope Im wrong though.

He's done it twice before, so I wouldn't be surprised if it happened. However, I hope he breaks that pattern.

He already said 10 times since his come back, he won't leave unless Roman sacks him. He also said he already won the 3 leagues he wanted: la liga, EPL, serie A. He has no reason to leave, he only wants to stay in England and Chelsea. A country where his family and him can have a normal social life.

His final dream job is the national coach of Portugal he said, but he's too young for that now, maybe when he's 60-65 yo.

brutal honesty and having your own opinion is definitely the way to go. i remember i was ridiculed and abused cos i said that torres was shit before it became the norm to say that torres was shit. i mean i know i did not care about the amount of abuse i got with things like "oh leave him alone, he thinks DD is the best thing in the world since sliced bread" etc etc..(and this was one of the nicest things i had heard).

anyways, JUST saying things for the bloody sake of it and JUST having an opinion which is different from the others for the sake of it is moronic. we know how much abuse we have got from the opposing fans. from "park the bus" to "boring boring chelsea" to "tens of fans in the parade".. and all of them have been absolute bullshit. jose did what any good manager would and should do. he gave the players the validation they needed by praising them first. and then he showed them how fucking stupid, moronic and idiotic all those claims were of other managers and fans of other teams who were trying to find some minor moral high ground when they could not compete with us on the field. we were the best team in PL by a country mile and we did deserve to get the credit 100 times more than what we have got. and hence jose's rant.

lastly, its good to have an opinion. but its childish and just limelight hogging to critisize everything for the sake of it. and calling other keyboard warriors when thats exactly what you have been doing is just

Just a protip: It would be easier to read posts without paragraphs if the sentences started with capital letters.

Yes in a perfect world it would, but please remember some foreign members do not have the grasp on the language/grammar like others.

He won't leave. All he has left to achieve in football is create a dynasty. Chelsea is the place to do that. He will be here another 10 years minimum. Providing him and Roman don't fall out again that is

[DYC. 7,542]

Mourinho also revealed his plans in the transfer market this summer, saying that his emphasis would be on retaining his current squad.

'We like the players and we are happy with the players,' he said. 'Two or three are always coming to the club - that's normal - but the most important thing in the market is not to lose players.

'The players I am looking for are my players - the players I want to keep. Last season I had players I wanted to sell.

'How can I find a better striker than Diego Costa? A better midfielder than Matic? A better right-back than Ivanovic?

'Our squad this season was very good. We didn't have many injuries and had three players who played in all 38 matches in the Premier League.

Hmm, if those two or three players include replacements for Cech and Drogba, this is going to be a very quiet summer. I wouldn't be surprised if the starting XI remains unchanged.

Drogba could be replaced by Solanke, making Remy true second choice next season.

Cech could be persuaded to stay - he could be a cup keeper, a Barcelona Bravo-Stegen style arrangement. Admittedly it's slightly different because both keepers are world class but I think Cech would love to stay at the club and on a family basis, stay in London. Who knows?

Anyway. For me, Schweinsteiger and Reus would be a good summer.

Mourinho might be telling the truth or maybe not at all. Don't forget his constant talk about wanting to keep Player X, Y, etc, only to go and sell them later.

Cech to stay for one more year like that? With the Euro 2016 coming? No chance, our best option is to sell him to a foreign club.

Solanke to replace DD? No chance either, he will be here as the 4th choice. Mou will buy a proven striker like Dzeko/Benteke, especially after this year. Deep inside he's concerned about the longterm fitness of Diego, Remy proved to be a good back up but was also out in crucial periods. He already hinted that he will do something about it, and that's not adding Bamford/Solanke as the 3rd striker.

I'd imagine that he would go for an HG 3rd striker.

As for Cech...well, it's up to him in the end. Who knows? He's first choice in E-2016 anyway, nobody doubts his quality.
