The Mourinho Thread

[Rhino's Skin 972]

An interesting question to you here:

Do you genuinely believe that Jose is more or less guilt free and that our bad showings doesn't have much to do with his tactics and how he sets up and selects the team? Do you actually believe the players are performing bad because they want Mourinho sacked? That's just too simplistic a view to take.

Many of us won't forget that we're here to support the club we love on Saturday either. I'm very sure of it. Yes, we love Mourinho and what he's done for the club but we love our club more, and we love watching us play regardless of what's going on. That's the attitude and atmosphere I hope to see at the Bridge on Saturday.

there will be a celebration of Mourinho's time with a couple of renditions of his songs and applause.

No one should take this as protest, being 'toxic' etc etc.

Individual supporters may boo players but will most probably be shouted down by those that want to enjoy the match and support the team.

Best tonic to cure anything....a few goals.....any thought of booing etc will soon be forgotten

Lmao you are so hilarious. Sometimes I feel you are Leif in disguise. LOOOOL!

First, you are jumping to absurdly dumb conclusions. Who said players and football department employees were giving a pass? Thats stupid. However, sacking a manager in December is possible, getting rid of players or signing new ones isnt. So Roman did what was possible.

Yes, thet backed the manager AT THAT TIME, but with things actually getting worse after 2 months, maybe the Russian decided Jose wouldn't continue. So beter to sack him now than to let him have a transfer window to spend more money on players the club and the new manager might not want.

Seriously, all you want is to complain like a whiny baby. Its what you do. Until yesterday you were trashing Jose and asking for his head. Now that he is sackedyou are complaining it wasnt at your prefered time. Pathetic!

well, idiots are aplenty these days.

first of all, go down the thread and get my stance on jose.

"This season" thats what i said after the board made it abundantly clear that he is staying.

my problem with jose was that he was going to play the same players over and over again but his interview after the match showed his stance had changed, which meant actually a change in scenario. not that hard to understand if you have an IQ that is greater than the room temperature, unfortunately thats expecting too much of you, is not it.

get your head out of your ass, and try to look at some of the realities.

also, were not you the one harping on about giving jose an year. were not you a follower of a theory something like this:

"tbh i personally believe Jose is now starting to tank the season and letting things role out so he can see how bad everything really is.

he just want to see if he rly needs to change half the squad or if he can still save someone here and there...

if i post this on the public forums i will get eaten up lol, but i trully believe in it"

i am sorry, but how is that working out for you? the fact is jose made mistakes. at the helm of which was trusting these no good players. and the moment, he actually slated them, he gets sacked!!! well 2+2=4, when its 5, quote me.

and seriously, i dont get your logic. we should not sack our manager when the PL and top4 are a possibility but sacking the manager without any visible progress or incentives is fine? even if we take your theory that everything among jose and players was fine, then what about the atmosphere. the only saving grace has been the crowd support basically because of jose and now that he is gone, expect that to turn sour too. yes, i can see how this is such an awesome decision. LOOOOOLLLL

the interesting thing would be if we actually start performing well all of a sudden it will be very clear that players have too much power in the club and that will never get us a long term manager we have been craving for.

Or it could be that we play a different system that works with the players we have? Or that a negative atmosphere around the club has gone?

Let's not just pretend that if the performances get better that this is all the players fault.

[Special Juan 27,424]

Everyone has their opinion, everyone has their opinion on how to fix it, the big picture is we need 3 points and this group of players to start delivering and quick sharp.

We are all Chelsea, or I would like to think we are, let's group hug and pull in the right direction.

KTBFFH

I am confused. IIRC was you not in the camp of wanting Mourinho to go. I know you have made vocal your slating of players. Most namely Fabregas and Ivanovic but I am sure before he was sacked you were stating he had to go.... Is it me or am I going mad? :carlo2: :confused:

EXACTLY, i was slating the PLAYERS. the players whom jose SLATED for a change. and SLATED massively. was he going to change? maybe, i dont know, but for once, i was actually looking forward to the team changes. to see if jose would actually do the right thing.

Would be happy if that is the case

As @Rmpr, he is either a WUM or suffered some some sort of severe schizophrenia.

One day he's cold, then the next hot.

understand things before stupidly running your mouth. read what i replied to stats.

Wenger has to live with the fact he's 99% never gonna beat Jose in a premier league game

[Beepu 1,714]

Wow I am surprised it finally happened. I feel sad though. I wanted change since our position and the way the team played is unacceptable but I also love Mourinho. This is probably the best for both parties though. I hope we get out of this hole and I wish Mourinho the best in the future. Will always be one of us.

[Tautvix 1,321]

We are a completely laughing stock again. Well done.

[Alan Partridge 1,124]

Shame we couldn't get klopp because he is too good for an average Liverpool team.

Hopefully hiddink can come in and out is in a semi decent position by the end of the season. In the summer anyone that wants to leave let them. Can't be dealing with this shit again

He'll get another chance when Jose is at Man U.

You have issues my friend.

Nothing to understand, I see how you react.

You explode like nothing.

how about 100% in an official competitive match ;-)

[didierforever 7,349]

what a comeback!!! i explained my stance perfectly. and just like stats explained, my problem was with the players. and the fact that jose continued to play the underperforming players, be it iva, cesc, costa or oscar.

after what he said this monday, i actually saw hope. again, not that hard to understand.

[Kezza 1,965]

Sentimental reasons..this sucks!

Football reasons..this is good

[MefiX19 1,092]

If Jose gonna go to Man U in his 3rd season he gonna se JOSE OUT banner flying, or meybe even earlier, because they gonna play boring footbal

There are a sea of comments on Mourinho's departure right now, but there is a splendid two way piece that I recommend everybody should take a moment to read. It really does an amazing job in detailing Mourinho's managerial career until now. It's a MUST read for all Jose fans and critics:
