The Mourinho Thread

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

Those wanting Klopp in, are being very contradictory here. We are wanting the best manager in the world out because of inconsistency but we are wanting another inconsistent manager to take over? Shit makes no sense.

Yet another attempt to discredit a world class manager like Klopp in order to big up "best manager in the world", Mourinho. Last I checked, Klopp's Dortmund absolutely destroyed Mourinho's Real Madrid 4 goals to 1, while playing some of the most beautiful football I've seen in the last decade. That Dortmund team was built from scratch by Klopp. Mourinho had at his disposal the most expensively assembled team in the history of football (at least at the time).

The Ancelotti galore is what gets me in this thread

Here's an idea, let's bring back from retirement the great Arrigo Sacchi! Him i would accept over José

David Luiz? No way we would be better. Mata? Well he doesn't track back. Yes we would've been better with KDB in our team but still Mourinho, has managed to keep a good Net spend while achieving loads at Chelsea, something good these days with FFP laws. Plus, out of all the long term Chelsea managers, Mourinho has the highest win percentage, both of this terms are the highest.

well I guess youre really one happy bunny ,, long may your deluded world last

Faux. Mourinho completely Built Porto FC from scratch and won them the Champions League, plus 2 Portuguese titles. Same thing can be said about his Inter side. At least Mourinho did not finish 7th in any of his seasons. Anyways, I'm not discrediting Klopp but at this current juncture, Mourinho is still our best possible manager to take us forward.

So, tell us why would you prefer Ancelotti over Mourinho, with some sort of explanation to your choice, not just your usual ridiculing other members of the forum who happen to disagree with you.

Please do, i'm yet to see that.

well if he cant take us forward from our current position then we really are in the shit, btw do you mean he built a complete Porto team in the short time he was there ,

and he built the Inter side as well ... I DO know he didnt build the first team he had at Chelsea ,, Ranieri did that

In the short time he was with us he won the League and Cup double ,, Without googling I think that has only been achieved by about 5 clubs i about 130 years ,

he encouraged youth ,, Wad more willing to give them genuine chances . Was able to both win and lose with grace . Made the Club less hated .

Was respectful to interviewers . That is a start.

Do you know however of Ancelotti record in a league?

In the 2010/11 season he went 6 matches without winning a single game, he's incredibly slow at understanding what the real problem is with a team in crisis (while José has been slow up until now he's slowly making changes) he's a tactically overrated manager and he's the last manager that should be around a team in bad form.

Ancelotti is only good when a team is built for him by his predecessor, you say he encouraged youth? Please...he's more stubborn than Mourinho in playing 28 years old players. And i've probably seen more of his teams than you ever did, so take it from me, he's not the right one for us.

But hey, he's a nice guy and reveals the first XI in the PC, so everything is fine.
