So nope that rule doesn't apply here. When there is an interim manager players don't fight to get him sacked. They fight for themselves, for the next season, etc. Blue Armour and Essien19 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how anyone can compare a manager that was sacked for leaving his team one point above relegation to another one who will fight for the league until its end.

But after all is said and done with Pellegrini having funds in a big team in the same scenario as Mourinho they have proven to be similar. Okay manager that can win things here and there but nothing so amazing. This is proof enough for me that as long as we spend good and have an okay manager we will be good. How is it any similar? Pellegrino won the league by a very narrow margain, so far has done very little in Europe for City and never at any point under his management have City been undisputed number one. Chelsea mark 1 under Jose however, won back to back titles in the most convincing and comfortable manners you can think off, went far in Europe smashing Barca and Bayern to peices en route only got get halted by Rafas bus parking tactics, we were head and shoulders above any other team in England and probably Europe as well, infact we were probably in those two season's the best and most complete side in English football history and if it wasn't for people having an issue with money spent and "style" then that team would have probably got recognized as so. So yes, decent managers like Pellegrini can win things with money, but to create the sheer domination and aura of invincibility Jose created in 04-05 and 05-06, you need a lot more than a blank cheque to do that, a lot lot more!!!!

Yes you are right, Mourinho mark 1 was good. I guess from now on I should refer to Mourinho mark 2. Because this Mourinho is a very average manager. This Mourinho has been living of past history from the mourinho mark 1. Fulham Broadway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldnt say he was living off his past reputation that much, though his record spoke for itself, so maybe there was a bit of an extension to his tenure this time round that other managers wouldnt get in this era of Short Termism. Mourinhos face looked so pissed off and devoid of passion in his post match PCs (bit like Hazard when hes playing now) np twinkly eyed mischief making as with before. So much shit hanging round like a big nappy- players not performing, lack of transfers, Evagate, his dad seriously ill -should have taken a sabbatical imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif 6,006 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I was just watching a news excerpt and the guy on air was speaking of his job as a nutritionist expert, and how every athlete you can think of is on a cocktail of drugs to perform well. The athletes would go to this guy when they want to come off the drugs, but maintain their physical edge. It got me thinking. Maybe we were good last season, and are dogshit this season. because of...doping ? Perhaps we've gone without it this season. Perhaps Eva was a doping specialist. It would make sense considering how teams can drastically change form in such short periods of time. None of that psychology or laws of the universe spiel; it's the drugs.

El P. 1,354 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Yes darling, you made our players look and feel 'better then they are'. It's clear as a day now. And go and take most of credit for our EPL title because of that. But why on the earth would someone do that? In a club who cries for stability, for long term plans, for players developing. That wasn't good for our players, no good for a long term of our club. Good only for Mourinho's record (not saying that it was the reason he done that, ofc.) And now... Players are even worse than they REALLY was last years, and blame for that lies partly on you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does make a good point though: Jose is such a volatile character that his actions have ruled him out of many top jobs. He was always complimentry to Man Utd because he knew when or if Chelsea sacked him that Man Utd would be the only alternative. And now even they don't really want him. Tough luck.

Essien19 1,415 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Viera: Quote The 39-year-old was speaking to the Times and was selecting a 'team-mates XI' when he was asked who he would pick as the coach of his side. 'Jose,' he said. 'He's the manager who had more influence on me. 'Why? Because he was the one who impressed me most on his work ethic. He knew everything about the opposition, the strength, weakness. 'His detail was unbelievable; everything was so clear about what he wanted from each player. I don't know what happened at Chelsea but he always got the best out of his players. 'Arsene is more concentrated on his own team. He gives freedom to players to express themselves. It's a different style.' Speaks volumes!
