The Mourinho Thread

Mourinho coming back to Chelsea has gotten my attention.

However, am I the only one that feels that sometimes a second comeback is not the best?

I hope he can come back and do good. It will be an awesome story.

Now there is one thing that continues to bother me. And that is that Chelsea today are totally different then the Chelsea Mourinho used to have.

Back then Chelsea was a very strong, aggressive and psychical side.

Drogba, Maka, Essien, Ballack, younger Terry and Lampard.

Today our team is made of small players like Barcelona.

Which as we saw last night can easily get bullied.

Heck that is what City now does to Chelsea. Yaya completely owns all of Chelsea midfield because of their weakness.

So how will Mourinho work with this team this time around?

Cause Chelsea cannot go out a buy a whole new team.

Interesting time for Chelsea coming ahead.

So, what do you have to say about SAF? Isn't that a perfect example aswell?

Ferguson is a freak one off, every time we sack a manager his name is constantly brought up to take a dig at us which pisses me off.

Because Fergie proved succesful with time doesn't mean we have to give time to any Tom, Dick or Harry god knows how long on the off chance they might do the same.

[Tomo 21,751]

Those who think Chelsea will be a stable club in the future should look elsewhere.

Chelsea are & most likely will bring controversy upon themselves.

Stability at Chelsea, does anyone even know what this word means at Stamford ?

Therefore, Jose fits right in at the Bridge.

Why on earth does the be all and end all of stability depend on how long a manager sits in the dugout?

In the last decade we have had stability in abundance. A strong, powerful spine full of leaders and a dedicated owner. Do you think Liverpool had stability under Rafa? Maybe in the manager yes but Hicks and Gillett around trying to fuck them up is not stability in the slightest.

Another question, how many captains have United and Arsenal has since we appointed JT in 2004?

Arsenal may have a long term manager, but do they have stability on the pitch? They win fuck all, they chance their captain almost every season, have no real leaders and numerous problems in the boardroom, can they even name their owner/majority share holder whatever it is?

Is that stability? really?

[Kezza 1,965]

We need some fucking stability. Roman needs to realize this. We cannot keep sacking manager like this. Fuck sake at this rate we will have had every top manager sacked within 5 years. What then?

Mourinho is the best long-term solution for us. The fans love him. The team loves him. And it is a mutual feeling. Plus he is a fucking genious.

Just give Jose what he wants, what is the problem? How can one not trust him more than some Yes-sayers in costumes?

Fuck stability. If you have me the choice of stability or the 10 major trophies we've won, is take the trophies thanks.

Look at arsenal. They have 'stability' but haven't won anything in 7 or 8 years

Chelsea is a freak one off aswell, sacking so many managers (some of them with enormous quality) and yet winning trophies.

But if you take a look at our league campaign in the past two years it proves we need somebody to build a team and stay here for as long as possible.

Not sure if troll

‏@1RobBeasley: Madrid want Jose to stay!

Actually we are not a freak one off, since Roman's takeover Inter and Real are both 1 ahead of us in terms of managers (i think, im too tired to check the actual facts right now, but their numbers are similar).

All of our sacking apart from Jose and debatably Carlo were right, of course i would love a manager to stay with us for a while, but there's a difference between managerial stability and managerial stability for the sake of it.

No chance.

I said I would love to see hazard under Jose, but I tell you what...Luiz could become a monster under Jose if he arrives.

Y'know, I was actually going to post this earlier. I think José will just drive him forwards to being labelled a true 'world class' player.

Right now he still has some tweeks in him that need sorting out, José can definitely do that.

Bah... You have to think abit long term aswell. At the rate we keep firing managers, we will have had every top manager. Who then will we appoint?

And who says we wouldnt win everything we did untill now if we had kept Mourinho all this time for instance?

The club is bigger than any player and manager. We have good players. Good ambitions. Good goals.

The fact that you say "fuck stability" and use the fact that we had many managers AND success just makes me wonder.. You cannot just assume that its either or nothing.

Luiz already is.

Sid Lowe says José Mourinho to Chelsea is a done deal, and the coach has already asked certain players to join him .

''Jose Mourinho return to Chelsea would be spectacular, says Andre Villas-Boas''

[Jype 6,398]

Something to think about: if we win the Europa League, Bayern win the Champions League and Mourinho returns, we would once again have a Mourinho versus Guardiola battle in the UEFA Super Cup next season.

At the moment that is a lot of 'if' but it could happen, you know.

That looks increasingly possible now. I'm even more sure we'll appoint Jose than we'll win the Europa League.

Real Madrid? Bayern?

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

Real Madrid? Bayern?

Real have suffered badly since Del Bosque left, so that isn't exactly an example. Madrid couldn't get past the round of 16 in the CL in many many consecutive seasons.

Bayern likewise, they've only started playing well once they found a good manager who offered some stability. Don't forget, they've played UEFA cup a few years ago and had a lot of difficulties even in the Bundesliga.

I was talking about a successful club despite having so many different managers. But you quoted only the first half of my post, not including the second one which is an essential part.
