The Mourinho Thread

“Every word I say is a risk,” Mourinho said. “I am just happy I don’t have an electronic tag but I think it’s not far from that. I also think that [to be fined] £50,000, in the world where we live today, is an absolute disgrace. An absolute disgrace. And I also think that the possibility of getting a stadium ban is also something absolutely astonishing.

“But more difficult for me to understand is when I compare different people with different behaviours or with similar behaviours, with different words or with similar words. I know I’m not English. I know my English is just good enough to work in this country, but is not perfect. But the difference between saying ‘afraid’ and ‘weak and naive’? The difference is £50,000 and [a potential] one-match stadium ban. So, for me, the conclusion is there is something that, now, we know.

“One, we can push people in the technical area. We can, no problem. So anyone in the technical area, we can push. Two, the word ‘afraid’ is a punishment, and a hard punishment. But to say the referee was ‘weak and naive’, referring to one of the top referees in this country and in Europe, we can do. So I think the only good thing of this last decision by the FA is that every manager in this country can write in a little book and, when he goes to a press conference, he knows that ‘afraid’ costs £50,000. ‘Weak and naive’, you can use.

“For football in this country, what is more important is a word rather than aggression. So now we know. They are the only two good things I take from that. It’s good for everyone. It’s the only reason I can still walk in London without an electronic tag.”

He should just say the FA are inconsistent leave it at that.

Mourinho: "Can I stay 15 more years at Chelsea? I don’t think so. I don’t think modern football allows it, so normally I will not finish my career at Chelsea. I would like to, but I don’t think it’s possible. So go back to Inter? Why not? "

He may be getting the sack, they should let him stay until the end of the season.

[TheIceMan 596]

On Matic: "Fuck that guy."

The suprising laughter! I love that in a post!

[Rhino's Skin 972]

seeing silly rumors that he will be sacked regardless of the result on Saturday!!

Bare in mind i saw this on Twitter

ahhhh....naked twitter games. Is a camera involved?

Damned if he does.....damned if he doesnt

Jose Mourinho rejects Chelsea 'mutiny' speculation, won't 'run away' http://espnfc.com/chelsea/story/2665299/jose-mourinho-rejects-chelsea-mutiny-speculation

-via ESPN FC http://es.pn/fcapp

Reading more he is talking about inter....

I really don't believe this guy at all that he says he is one of us.

He is just using his same old tactics that he was using at real Madrid.

Things are turning south and now he tries to woes the heart of a former team so they can get him.

We are fools for giving him a new contract, wrong person to give stability.

Oh well.

This is 100% true. Another thing to consider is the fact that it isn't Chelsea they hate, just Mourinho. There is another team I followed in a different sport where the coach was arrogant, obnoxious, and like Jose, universally frowned upon. During his reign, whether or not there was success, a dark cloud of media negativity followed the team around like a plague. Only when he was finally canned did this end. I believe the same is happening to our beloved Blues with Jose. Despite how much or how little I support his tactics, it wouldn't be at all unbelievable to think a Jose exit would lift the black cloud.

Absolutely this. All the teams he's managed since leaving porto have been public enemy number one from chelsea to inter to madrid. To further buttress your point on the impact a manager can have on the popularity of a team. Our popularity was the highest it's been in the Roman era under Ancelotti. even despite winning the double (The theory is always they hate us because of our success) most neutral fans and even some bitter rivals found us much more likeable and the media and FA significantly eased up on their "bias" at the time.

Yes this is true, there was a good feel back then.

Then the second season happen and he got canned because something like that would never happened to Mourinho......

Fast forward it has happened and even worse. But now we are backing Mourinho....

can you show us the figures showing the height of our popularity under Carlo compared to other times. Would make good reading and interesting to know where you get these bonafide facts and figures from.

Thanks in advance

P.S. ooooh yes...forget the reason why I posted.

Its because I think ( but have no figures to prove it ) that as a whole we were more popular with other clubs fans under Ranieri and Romans 1st season when other clubs and supporters didnt really know what had hit them and we were not winning PL titles at the time and not a big threat in their eyes.

But back to you saying we were more popular back then than now....I bet our fanbase has grown considerably since then adding to our popularity and worldwide income so sod what anyone else i.e other club fans and neutrals think

[Rhino's Skin 972]

Ofcourse this is the type of response I expected. biased to the core. Apparently the English FA, Spanish and Italian media and FA all have an agenda against him and his teams. It's just so happens that the controversy that seems to follow him around every club he goes are not his fault and the whole world are out to get poor old jose.

.

so one minute you scoff at the fact that the FA have bias ( above) and then (below) the next you say that they eased up on it at a certain time.

make your mind up fella

most neutral fans and even some bitter rivals found us much more likeable and the media and FA significantly eased up on their "bias" at the time.

[Special Juan 27,429]

Presser starting.

Only Ivanovic and Tibo injured.

4 solutions to RB- Azpi, Zouma, Ramires, Aina

RLC- Ready to start

Jose will be appealing against the fine.

Actually I want to feel proud of the Club I have supported in good times and bad for over 30 years . Under Mourinho I feel constantly ashamed. Some fans want trophies at any price.

I would rather have our pride and dignity back ..

[cfcs most wanted 657]

In other news, has been revealed who Mou will be the protagonist of the next Assassin's Creed.

Would be difficult to attack in the next game

[cfcs most wanted 657]

The name of the new Assasin's creed game has been announced

dunno where you popped up from and posted a reply that had nothing to do with my post but grow a pair.

Seems you are more worried about what other fans think of us....who gives a flying toss what they they and the media think, but if you are taken in by all their comments and stories...then more fool you.

Plenty of pride and dignity amongst the support.

But back on point...a good presser from him and good to know he is contesting the FA fine
