The Mourinho Thread

[Eidur the Spider 4,515]

I feel your pain mate, I had to console my 9 year old boy in tears yesterday. But out of bad will always come good, I was there in bad times, in good times and always blue and proud.

I know pal. The feeling of watching Chelsea now is a far cry from the joy I felt watching Gianfranco dance around players at the bridge as a young kid. Sigh.

Lets not beat around the bush here, the club right now fucking stinks, from top to bottom.

the only way we can fix that problem is to get rid off the stink

When Jose came back, the question i and many concerned faithfuls asked was how is he going to play his style using Hazard, Oscar and co. who were purposely bought to steer the team towards playing attractive football. The answer we got from him and his worshipers is that he is going to change his style and play attractive football. His first game in charge was against Hull. I watched carefully as the boys played one of the most beautiful game in the first half and by half time we were up by 2 goals. After recess, i was disappointed to see team sitting back to allow Hull to control the game, and you could clearly see that they have been instructed to do so. Then we went to MAN U to play 11 players as defenders against a team that was struggling with Moyes and had zero confidence. The bus continue to be parked in every game till date.

My guess is he managed to convince the board and the players to buy into his philosophy for the first season. In the second season we were playing well until we lost 5-2 to Spurs, which made him activate park-the-bus mode. Unlike the first season when the players were on board the "bus", this time they did not buy into the idea and this manifested in the team's bad performance from January to the end of season. We however managed to win the league because we had little competetion. Come this season Jose decided to continue with the same tactics and this time, the players have not been on board since the beginning of pre-season. The players want to express themselves on the field and they are indirectly telling Jose, but the egomaniac one does not seem to bother. He would rather we loose than play attacking football and our loosing streak will unfortunately continue unless we change the manger or we replace half of the squad with players of Jose's caliber, like Essien, Lampard, Drogba etc. The truth is the first option is much cheaper, feasible and more desirable.

This club is an absolute circus right now and I'm sick of it. Mourinho has been the biggest part of that. If he really wants to stay he has to cut this crap about 'us against them' and 'we deserved to win but didn't because X and Y' because I like many others are sick to the back teeth of it. I want a football club with as little controversy as possible. Its getting to the point where I look admirably at all other managers who don't throw temper tantrums/silent treatment/blame games every five fucking minutes when really it's down to his and the team/boards failures in and before the season.

I fucking hate seeing my beloved club I've supported for years like this, it feels like Jose is on a mission to make himself sackable? I don't want that be true but it's a feeling I get. Everything in the way he's conducting himself atm is the opposite of what any manager should be doing in his position. And not giving the supporters explanations in post matches, and explanations which are honest and to the point are getting on my fucking tits. The Chelsea fans aren't idiots Jose, we appreciate the great trophies and all you've brought to the club but right now, I feel disrespected as a fan, by not only the players for their lack of effort and work ethic (Willian, Bego and Azpi aside) and the manager for treating us like idiots when he speaks out.

Fuck sake.

you have expressed my feelings exactly .. T watched yesterday with my wife ans she said I hope Liverpool win since Klopp seems so much better a person than Mourinho .

Of course she is a mere woman who has played 4 different sports at very respectable levels ,, and women arent shown much respect on this forum even ,,

Spot on pal. I remember after the Southampton game I think, I listened to 606 and one Chelsea fan rang up and spoke to Robbie Savage and got it spot on. He said to Savo (as a former Leicester player) how pleased he must be and proud with how Claudio Ranieri conducts himself in interviews and how ashamed he was of Jose. It does my head in. If we lose to a better team, don't fucking moan about everything, just accept it, likewise if we aren't good enough which we clearly are not.

Jose Mourinho has two games to save his Chelsea job, sources tell ESPN FC, with Carlo Ancelotti interested.

Didn't they say the same thing a week ago?

[Eidur the Spider 4,515]

It'd be as good a time as any to make a change if they're gonna. What with the international break.

[Fernando 6,463]

Yeah and if we lose they will say the same thing until December comes around and he is still here and they will no longer have much more to say.

with Carlo Ancelotti interested in taking over even on a temporary basis.

Interesting...

[Stats 7,056]

Once again the team has turned against him because of his outdated/small team tactics. It happened at Madrid and it happens at Chelsea once more. It wasn't the case at Internazionale because all those players were all aproaching/well in their 30s and didn't care about the tactics, nor the evolution as a player - they wanted to win something and they wanted it fast as they were approaching the end of their carreers. But it is different when you have young, technically gifted players that want to evolve and prove themselves. They want free flowing football and if you make them play the way Stoke does, eventually you will pay the price.

It is not even an exaggeration but Stoke actually play more entertaining football than we do.

Kinda makes sense. Jose out, Carlo interim, Guardiola summer.

[Jokesy 53]

Apparently, it seems there's going to be mass suicide soon if José isn't sacked in the next few days or weeks, but from what we've seen so far, I don't think it's going to affect match attendance or atmosphere at the Bridge.

[Term-X 7,891]

It would cost £30m to sack him, the same amount we'd get for reaching the Champions league for next season.

as if Ancelotti would want to be an interim, and as if Pep would even want to come here
