The Mourinho Thread

[Eidur the Spider 4,515]

Jose Mourinho dismisses the idea that he thinks this was his last game. #CFC

Jose: 'I have some players who are really sad in the dressing room. They are not getting the respect they deserve.' #CFC

We are literally running out of managers to hire, and the same scenario continues again and again and again. It's not even about stability anymore, it's about changing the course. Players are getting paid to play football, getting hundreds of thousands of pounds a week, more than real, hard-working people, earn in years and years, so I'm sorry too if I don't buy into "motivation" bullshit. This period was bound to happen when we change managers, pholosophies like socks. We've accumulated a graveyard of players. Sure not every decision made by the CLUB regarding players has been the best but you've got to understand that Mourinho doesn't make these decisions on his own, he can only give his thoughts and wishes, rest is for lawyers and management to discuss. It's clear as daylight that Mourinho didn't plan to start this season with this squad.

More excuses for Mourinho. You make do with the squad you have at your disposal...and let's be honest, this squad is good enough to be A) playing decent attacking football and B ) higher than 15th on the table after 11 games

no manager will sort this mess out without spending big on new players, Jose is the man i want in charge to get rid of the dead wood and bring in some top quality players!

He's had over 2 years to get rid of the dead wood and in those 2 years we've spent over 322 million euros on players.

Dead wood?

Lol he brought a lot of these players just recently!

dead wood like Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry and Mikel, with players like Oscar, Fabregas, Matic and Ramires moved to the bench on a regular basis.

Moaners jubilate

Celebrate the victory as much as Liverpool

Blue is the color, Keep the blue flag flying high !

José Mourinho one of us !

Players are deceiving, manager is awful, the board has been absolutely inconsistant for over 3 or 4 years now !

Don't care, support them all !

You talk like that and I'm sure you have been a Chelsea fan for around 2 years.

How can you be calm and happy at a moment like this?

When AVB was fired, Di Matteo took over and turned our season with a squad that was miles away from the one we have now. Steve Holland or some youth coach should take over now, make the necessary changes and few transfers during the January window and prepare the squad for next season and for Guardiola era.

But, I believe we will choose Hiddink for the interim role and I would be fine with that as well.

There's something fundamentally wrong at Chelsea FC. It goes far far beyong the manager's role. Our entire back 4 needs to be replaced for starters. I am starting to lose faith now. If Mourinho can't get us to win, I honestly know who will. It's becoming increasingly worrying every week.

He sounds like some kid who started watching football last season and just happy to be in a stadium tbh.

he clearly was told to work with what he had in the summer, i am sure Jose would have wanted to sign at least 2 or 3 top class players in the summer to improve the first XI

Exactly... I think it's naïve to think that simply sacking Mourinho will solve all our problems. Teams don't just go from unstoppable to garbage this quickly.

I will be SHOCKED if he's still here by Monday.

AVB can't be compared to Mourinho, not status wise and not situation wise. Did Di Matteo really turn it around? We finished 6th and not to sound disrespectful, but winning Champions League was a combination of pure luck and certain players stepping up.

Another game we were comprehensively outplayed and he's blaming the referees.

He's consistent if nothing else.

RDM atleast had a promotion and PL expierence under his belt as manager, Steve Holland's only job as #1 so far was Crewe, and he failed badly.

We gift the opponent chances by dropping deep. Jose only trains the players to take the game in a defensive approach and that doesn't allow us goals. He is very stubborn, has his favourites and blames everyone but himself. He puts players in a wrong position. He doesn't give players from youth chances even if the senior player is worse.

I love Jose but these are a lot of problems my friend. If we get rid of these problems then we can become a force. We also need to buy an AM, LB, CM and a CB.
