The Mourinho Thread

[Muzchap 8,966]

Jose Mourinho has told his players he should have sold some of them in the summer, in a new dig at his #Chelsea stars. [Mirror]

Mourinho told his squad he feels he was too soft in the summer and should have moved some of them on before their form dipped. [Mirror]

Mourinho was prepared to shoulder the blame earlier in the season, but he has now concluded his players are at fault. [Mirror]

His players ability to produce results/performances in some games but not show up for others have strengthened Mourinho's belief. [Mirror]

If sacked, it is believed Mourinho would be due either one years money up front or receive payment until he finds another job. [Telegraph]

These papers and sources are all over the place.

If the contract is £40 million - then I don't care who you are, there is zero chance it's a contract without 'remedies'

The clause will likely be, payment until a new job is found, up to a maximum of the remaining contract value. It's unlikely that it will be a cold hard lump sum. Even this if true is extremely poor and if true, shows we have learnt nothing from the previous manager musical chairs. Whoever is in charge of our contracts team needs to be fired. Absolutely shocking.

However, if Mourinho is sacked and he loves Chelsea so much, surely he would be willing to forgo such a payout? He's one of us right? Wrong! He will do what every other person would do, bank the money, that kind of cash will set his family up for generations. Not bad for a translator at a football club

As for 9 players going, sure - but other people have to want to buy them, or again, see above, we are screwed with contract value - it's not FM in the 1990's where you coud release anybody

I can't imagine anything happening today, it's just papers and click bait...

Mourinho would never resign no matter how bad it gets main reason being the amount of money he is gonna get. Maybe the board is waiting to see if he resigns to save Some face and Ofcourse money.

[Blue Who? 1]

lets get this right....you only joined so you could mug off the manager.

Welcome and thanks for showing your support for the club first ;-)

Good grief man....whats the world coming to

too many afraid to say the unsayable. ive been patient but time to bite the bullet. get zola in now til the end of the season and then beg ancellotti to come back. survival then progress. nobody is bigger than the club. jose has lost the plot. dead man walking. have a good look at his face during the post match interviews.

9 players leaving at one go is hogwash.

I just don't see a massive turonver either in January or next summer regardless of who the manager is. The club is not awash with transfer funds anymore and to me, it may be a good thing as this will eventually force the powers that be to integrate youth more proactively.

i honestly feel, it would not be a massive issue selling 9 players.

cesc, oscar, costa, hazard, mikel, ramires. iva and JT should not get a contract extension. and i guess end falcao's loan right now.

cesc can be replaced with RLC and oscar can be replaced by musonda EASILY. i mean we would not miss a step.

mikel and rambo need to be shipped off ASAP and quality players need to be brought in - matuidi and witsel?

willian, pedro, hazard. as our AMs. try to get lacazette.

get a proper LB and a CB. massive massive overhaul, but we need to do it.

Why on earth would you trust Mourinho to rebuild a squad?

Give me one good reason please. Just one.

Don't worry hazard is gonna go already at the end of the season. Missing one of the best players in the world. We just can't replace him any time soon especially with out champions league

I will show you how your mum has forward thinking...

If you are filled up you will take more time eat thus making you need more food overall in your day. Then with this, next time you go buy food might be delayed by a day or two and so on. So, overall you will end up consuming less food (and waisting less).

Your mum is more of a genius than you think!

I'll be sure to tell her you said so

"It's hard. All last season I did phenomenal work and I brought them to a level that is more than they really are."

For this statement I have absolutely no words.

How can any manager say that is beyond me. If one has betrayed anyone its Mourinho and his little games about playing tall and experienced players and all the bullshit he said.

Please quote the full sentence

"Or last season I did phenomenal work and I brought them to a level that is more than they really are, or this season we are doing so bad that the players for some reason, I'm not saying all the players, I don't want to put them all in the same basket, but clearly where some of them is so difficult"

Now you can understand his point, the media/forums only quote what they want

[Cosmin 2,484]

Even if Jose gets the sack, the board has to analyze the squad and get rid of some of its members as soon as possible. It doesn't matter if the manager lost the plot. If your ego is bigger than the club's performances, then you shouldn't be here because you are not professional.

Majority of the papers have written about the impending doom of Mourinho. And then we have Sky Sports who claims his position at the club is unchanged - http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11668/10100602/jose-mourinhos-chelsea-position-unchanged-sky-sources. Take your pick.

On the farcical side of things, the media have become so desperate that they actually asked Andy Carroll (ANDY FREAKING CARROLL!!!) about our situation - http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11685/10101413/chelsea-in-a-relegation-battle-says-west-hams-andy-carroll

:doh:

Yeah I heard Andy Carroll on SSN this morning What a fucking cock he is.

I would trust him to rebuild a squad as long as it's not ours !

Because he actually built the most successful Chelsea of history, which lasted for about 8 years.

But i guess then it was Lamps Didier and JT doing the work for Mourinho, now it's only on him that he can't make Fabregas and co. play =)

Guardiola to tell Bayern what hes doing in the future next week. The planets are aligning...

:doh:

Skysports keeps reporting the same thing for ages, and Mourinho is keeping his job no matter what, so perhaps they know what they are talking about, but at this point only a fool would believe his position is "unchanged".The single fact the club was forced to release a public vote of confidence is an indiciation his position has changed.

[Fulham Broadway 16,832]

The media are desperate for Mourinho to be sacked. They need lots of typespace after all.

Graham Roberts yesterday giving an interview which was reasoned, and sensible. Subsequently replayed on R5, highly edited, where it comes across as a hysterical rant that Mourinho must go, which wasnt what he said
