The Mourinho Thread

[Special Juan 27,424]

:D made me chuckle.

I just don't see how sacking Jose will remedy the situation, at all, unless this whole crisis is just a dressing room disconnect, which I don't think it is. Players just look unmotivated and unbothered; and if Jose can't solve that then nobody can.

I'd rather play Lamps in midfield; at least he'll give a fuck and pick out a few passes. What frustrates me most are the false starts; the 0-0 with Tottenham, the 2-0 against Arsenal, the 2-0 against Porto. False hope.

I think sacking Jose is the only way we get the players back connected in all honesty. I think the attitude of the players is now "Fuck him" Nobody is pulling in the right direction, relationships have been broken and body languages are speaking for themselves.

Reading around it seems that shit maybe going down right about now regarding Jose. Today might be the end for JM.

The club's attitude is clear; they want him to stay. If he gets sacked I will be VERY surprised

Ramos did really well with Dnipro. Abramovich and Dnipro president are buddies. It does make some sense.

If we were floundering mid-table or even 6th and it was talked about sacking him, I would be very surprised. But you cannot look at this current situation and be surprised if he was sacked, the position we are in is nothing short of shambolic, and something has to give.

All comes down to whether you blame the players or the manager for the crisis.

To me it sounds like the players just haven't listened to Jose; slacked off and he's finally had enough of it (he's taken the hit for them so far this season). I'll be interested to see the lineup next Saturday; I'd imagine his position on January buying is rapidly changing too.

Who knows? I understand if he's fired but I still don't agree with it personally. It's not down to the manager when they can't even string passes together, let alone try to play attacking football.

Right but then Mourinho don't play the youth.

He said he was going to do it if the regular players don't play over a month ago.

And still nothing.

Juande Ramos?

Ridicules, I rather take a shot with Bielsa, Sampaoli, or Emery.

What some maybe fail to realize is Mourinho is currently overseeing arguably the WORST managerial performance in the entire history of the "Premier League era". Paul Jewell's spell at Derby was hilariously bad, but at least they had shit players to begin with.

No manager in PL history has performed worse with more than JM this season. Ever. Let that sink in. What we're witnessing at this club right now is unprecedented levels of shambolic management. We're statistically the worst defending champions since the 1800's.

Bring Harry out of retirement......we could end up signing top top players ;-)

Mourinho's siege and underdog mentality doesn't work when the team just won trophies. I bet he ruffles the players feathers when he tries to make them feel like underdogs when they fully well know they are among the best in England. I bet the players wanted to expand their style of play becoming even more cavalier and attacking as opposed to Mourinho's preferred 'strangle out the victory at any cost'.

If Mourinho goes to Manchester United he will win the league. They've been underperforming for a long time and his siege mentality will light a fire under their arses.

We are always making history. ;-)

All the media outlets have a different take on that.......no one knows for sure whether there actually was a meeting and if there was, what it was about.

When we hired AVB, to get views on my Facebook football transfer page I completely made up that he was planning on developing our youngsters via loaning them to Rangers (the other admin on the page was a Rangers fan and thus most of our fans were; I wanted everyone to be excited.) I said this because it had been reported that AVB was friends with people at Rangers, nothing more.

Over the next week, Yahoo news copied and pasted my post word for word, The Sun did the same with about 4 tweaks thrown in, and everyone was suddenly talking about that possibility.

Now was it just an easy story to make up, thus a coincidence occurred, or did they actually copy me? I don't know. From that experience id say this is total bullshit, and it required less than 5 minutes to think up and even research the article written by whomever wrote it
