The Mourinho Thread

[Adnane 1,101]

I'm sitting here laughing at those who are waiting for Mourinho to be sacked

Gonna be a long international break for you guys

Played good, bad luck, we have been way better since the last international break and the luck uncertainty will surely be reduced at some point in the next weeks, onto the next one, enjoy 15 days outside compétitive football/pressure and move on

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

Steadily "stablizing" in 15th place. I'll sort of understand the stability argument.

(i) If Mourinho had ever shown anything resembling in his 15 year career and if he didn't behave like a complete fucktard and bring his host club to disrepute when things don't go his way.

(ii) If we weren't 15th (!!) with a 1/3 of the season gone. If we were like say 6th, 7th or even 8th, few would be calling for him to be sacked. Bad season, okay. Scrap it up and start again next season. But 15th is historic in the Abramovich era and very very poor in ANY CFC era really. We're so bad, it defies all logic.

Please put in the same amount of support for our next manager as your mortal God Mourinho. Then we would see your true Chelsea supporting side instead of being seeen as a Mourinho worshipper.

The amount of restraint the board has shown is indeed remarkable, maybe new stability for a change??? who knows? not sacking managers left or right at the first sign of a crisis, i´m just as angry as anyone at the current state of things and i want things to get better, but one of the club´s problems these past years has been the lack of stability with managers and i would like that to change soon. What´s Wenger´s excuse at Arsenal for not beeing sacked yet ? the board keeps backing him, but what has he shown ? i do remember Ferguson facing relegation with United at some point many years ago and he was bound to get sacked, but they kept him and they didn´t regret it:

Look, like i said before, a team that won the league last season simply doesn´t turn to sh*t overnight, there is a clear sign of low confidence right now, but i can´t deny the many crucial decisions that have been going against us this season, that could make a difference in the team´s momentum and morale, who knows? of course that doesn´t hide the fact that the team has been very poor, but for once i would like to give the manager a chance to really turn things around, i´m willing to give him that vote of confidence. I´m giving Mou the benefit of the doubt because today he wasn´t in the technical area to exert his influence on the players and that is a big factor, either way the players had no excuse to fail on the pitch even with Mou out of this game, so what changed after the Kiev game? I know playing at Stoke is always difficult and today the team was unlucky not to get at leat a draw, it´s just one of the many things that can happen when things aren´t going your way, the blame must be shared by players and manager. You and others can slag me off all you want, but it´s my opinion and there are many who share my view, but stability at this club would be a great start, we´ll see what happens. Cheers

Please don't take this the wrong way

But the difference with Arsenal etc - they are not 16th 3 points from relegation

Yes they are shit and have won fuck all with talented teams, but they haven't imploded either - they've just bobbed around at the top, missing out

We are 16th - I cannot stress enough how serious this is now. We are 3 points from relegation

Blackburn was the last team to win and then dissappear - although it took longer than one season.

We are right now relegation candidates - please believe me when I say how hard it is to admit that, But our form suggests it.

I think the Board have little choice

It seems like you are enjoying this.....very odd. Do you also think that this has to do with luck?

As long as his favorite person is still at the club he is happy no matter what happens to Chelsea FC, like the majority of other fans really.

[Beepu 1,714]

His problem is that he can't coached organised defense. The reverse of Mourinho, basically.

Should hire him as our assistant manager then. Tell him to go to the tactical area when we have the ball and switch with Jose when we don't have the ball.

There, problem solved

[Pizy 18,368]

No one in the PL can. Chelsea has been the only top flight team in recent years that have won because of our defense.

Arsenal, City, his Liverpool team that one year...none can defend. Great attacking play can mask many problems.

C'mon you are better than this post suggests.

Luck is nothing to do with it - we cannot create chances from open play

The team do not know how to attack and defend together as a unit

I think the problems run deeper than 'luck'

[zolayes 14,489]

*16th place.

im going to start using Roman numerals XVI doesnt look so bad

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

*16th place.

You're correct. I just looked at the latest update of the table. Makes me so angry and sad at the same time.

[Muzchap 8,966]

Lol ?

Rocky XVI - let's hope it's Maureens revenge and we go on an unbeaten streak until the end of the season.

[Jambo 231]

I think if Mourinho was for the sack he would be gone by now. it seems as if he's been given a period of time with his 'vote of confidence.' He'll be here till Jan or the end of the season imo.

[zolayes 14,489]

XIX looks ok till you realise you will be with the HOOPs next year .. onwards and Downwards on the good ship mourlolipop

[Adnane 1,101]

Guys, come on, do you seriously I come here to display my disappointment ?

I almost smashed my new TV and gone mental, especially in our wasted chances, do you really believe just because I support José I don't give a shit about how we play or the results we get ?

Just trying to answer calmly here, I put a little provocation there yeah for sure, but then I stated my opinion, trying to do that calmly, I avoided coming here until i cooled down to be honest, because that really wasn't nice to watch

I firmly believe we need to improve, but I also firmly believe we did just so since the last international break, I'm willing to give the guy a chance to fix his shit, simple as that ( no, chance isn't 10 games, I'm talking about the whole season ).

And since the same debates just go round and round and round, I prefer to avoid them...

@MrBlueGuy, Dude, what's your complex with me I love José, not gonna hide it, get over it dude and debate in peace

[Rmpr 8,977]

Let's not resort to personal insults

Yes we are all pissed off!

Also remember that English might not be the first, second or even third language of some members - so try to be patient when reading what they post.

The vote will be interesting

I think Jose will be gone. It is sad, because he had such an amazing opportunity - for me he has failed us.

He failed to rotate, failed to integrate youth and failed to play attacking football.

I think he is the best 2 year manager in the business and you will win a trophy with him - but at what cost?

Our future is now unclear

1. Yes, I really apreciate the civilised warning Muzchamp. People need to learn to accept different opinions. Thank you!

2. I am also interested in the voting. Many didnt bothered to change their votes and it can give us a new insight to what the majority thinks aftwr 3 straight league losses.

3. I honestly think its pathetic to say he traded youth players just to try to win a league title asap. I think thats very disrespectful to Jose (not targeting you mate). However, I do agree he has failed on many levels. All done with the best of intentions imo, but he has just lost it.

4. I also disagree he is a 2year only manager. He left most of his clubs with a superb squad. Porto had an excellent team and the only reason they didnt stay on top is cause they sold 7 first team players on the next 2 windows following Joses exit. Chelsea went to last waay past his firing and that was pretty much the same team still. Inter I wil give u that he left them with no juice. But then again he left a perfect RM squad for his successor. It just happens he never wanted to stay much on the samw club.

5. I also disagree completely that he is now a bad coach or is in decline, w/e. I just feel things went south here and thats real unfortunate but it happened. He has a lot of blame but so has so many other people who are involved and also let this happen. Idk, I believe he deserves to have the full season at least, specially because there is no one available. If things dont go well he should be sacked in May though.

what i really think is that many fans have become too spoilt that they can´t handle this kind of situation, it´s always about winning, winning, winning and as soon as the team gets in to a type of crisis all hell breaks loose, i used to be very spoilt i admit it, but i changed my ways years ago bearing in mind everything that happens in football and outside it. Sure, i understand your points and i respect your views and worries on this matter, and i know we will always not agree on many subjects but that´s life. Cheers and thanks for your civilized conversation. All the best
