The Mourinho Thread

[Essien19 1,415]

Don't be stupid. Mourinho doesn't rate anyone's opinion but his own.

Or as Mourinho so eloquently put it: 'When you reach my level it's difficult to learn from others'

Why are the likes of Steve Holland, Rui Faria and so on still around, when it's useless?

Only for their pretty looks or because Mourinho rates their opinion?

Neither of us knows the truth.

Again, we have to agree to disagree.

outside of the club he is managing, why should he rate other opinions ???

But you are speculating if you reckon he doesnt take notice of what anyone says within the club whether its from his daily group meetings/talks with the players through to talking with staff members such as Dr. Paco Biosca or Eddie Newton.

Mourinho has never been my favourite person or manager and sometimes he irks me but what is so galling on here is the anti-brigade (and there is a little regular group ) who find great delight in using every little stick to beat him with and repeating the same points over and over again without even bothering to try and find any positives. ( i know at the moment they are few and far between).

Then one or two have the audacity to criticise those who physically support the club and/or those who want to see light at the end of the tunnel and the tinted specs might be a bit blue.

Constructive criticism is great for debate but a good constructive point which starts on a postive is even better rather than the vile, obnoxious, offensive tirade Mourinho has been subject to on here by cowardly keyboard cowboys.

Rant over: soap box back in the shed ;-)

Rodgers is not a good manager id rather have Benitez back than this plonker.

Suarez carried his Liverpool team as soon as he left they were shite. I don't want to have to listen to his David Brebt style "philosophy" either

You are blinded by hatred if you believe that Jose does not value his coaches' opinion.

Telegraph, Guardian and BBC report that Mourinho is safe.

Daily Mirror? Fuck that!

Rodger's seen in London, he's gonna get Chelsea job !

Journalism at it's finest

[cfcs most wanted 657]

Mourinho has been given a chance, that no other manager has got at our club in recent years. Mourinho please make it count.

[Laylabelle 9,754]

Haha love that!he's in London so course Chelsea have him lined up.Fulham and qpr also looking but nope here he comes..no other reason to be in London despite it being a big place with lots to do..

If we ever get Brendan Rodgers i quit

He is ex-Chelsea.

I don't want him back, but i'm always thankful for his contribution.

If he really wants to help out, i don't have a problem with him working for Jose Mourinho.

Rodgers made many mistake during his spell with the scousers, but he developed guys like Sterling, nothing wrong with that.

Maybe a role like RDM or the continously rumoured Zola, where we are giving them a grooming role as a coach for possible employments elsewhere would/could be a nice thing to see the group incorporate. Imagine the like of Lampard, Drogba or Terry teaching the youth the Chelsea way

We're in a very important period. Jose isn't just representing Chelsea's recent past. He's representing stability and consistency in club decisions. Roman's keeping his finger off the trigger for the first time since he's been here, and if Jose doesn't come good, we will see the revolving door continue to spin.

Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez among possible Chelsea targets - sources

Awesome finisher. Good striker. Just what we need.

Or you should rather say that he almost won a league with only 1 world class player? Look at his Swansea spell, they played some fantastic football. His Liverpool side scored 30 more goals than Chelsea in 2013-2014 season. I don't rate him as a bad manager just because he couldn't make it up to TOP4 with players like Marković, Henderson, Lucas, Lallana...

Think about this scenario: Sack Mourinho, then having to choose between Rodgers and Moyes.

There are some legends out there, but i want the best coaches for the youth, not the best ex players.

If you were a great player means jack shit, when we're talking about educating young prospects.

Thierry Henry was a great player, but as pundit he is really bad, i think we're talking about Championship level as a pundit.

That can also be said about the coaching ability from some of the former world-class players.

The former Bayern Munich player "Mehmet Scholl" recently hit out at the new generation of the so called "laptop coaches" and "class winner coaches".

Ex players feeling the heat and that's a good thing, nowadays football isn't only about balls and huge will, no it's a lot more strategic, you need to know how to use your brain.

Lamps, Terry, Drogs will always be welcome at our club, but they have to compete with other guys (academics) for the job.

Maybe he is a good coach (friend of Mourinho) but not so good when we're talking about buying the right players for the team.

Swansea was really good, nowadays it's not looking so good for them, i like their style of play, but Gomis is a poor mans Bony.

Jack Cork, happy that he made it, deserves it.

Mate - Swansea is a pretty grim place, how they can even afford the majority of players is beyond me. Wales accounts for a huge portion of our social welfare since the mines were closed. I'm surprised they can even afford Gomis. What chance do Swansea have when a big club comes knocking? Absolutely none.

Rodgers at Chelsea will never happen

Mourinho would have been gone already if he was going

This season is now all about how we can win our next game and try to finish as high in the table as possible. If that means 17th then that's what it is.

No players sold in Jan and no players bought either - this squad needs to stick around until the summer when wholesale changes need to be made.

Am I pleased about the prospect of this? Absolutely fucking not!

Those however are the cards we have been dealt and we need to bluff it out and hope others fold...

I think the big money coming in from the Premier-League sets Swansea up for good.

They have a lot more money than most teams of the german league or your austrian league get.

Overall, i think Swansea has regressed in their style of play, too many hoofballs in the direction of Gomis, that's not a nice change of play.

If Chelsea goes big in january means, will Jose still be in charge?

If so, i think we will go guns blazing for John Stones and other hot prospects, they won't fuck around anymore, we'll get at least one good player.

Will that lead us to better times in the future?

Don't know, but i think you're way too pessimistic.

We have lost a lot of times during this early spell, but now we have a short break and after that easier games than before are coming,

so we should really climb in the table and get some confindence back.

Then we'll see.
