The Mourinho Thread

[Special Juan 27,541]

Jose had the Inter credit card.

[didierforever 7,349]

The impact of Inter was because they signed them to long term deals... He destroyed Inter financially.

milito 28mil 2009-2013 4 year deal.

thiago motta 2009-2013 4 year deal

lucio 8mil 2009-12 3 year

etoo (i think he earned a fortune in that deal) i can go on and on.

also lets make one thing very clear, JOSE MOURINHO in his 2 years at inter milan spent only 35mil when u consider all the players that were let go. i dont think i got what u wanted to say because this has got to be the craziest statement that i have ever heard any1 say about mou.

inter milan shelled out 40 mil in the 2010-11 transfer window, another 35 mil in the 2011-12 and 65 mil in this transfer window.

yes it has been a complete failure of a season for Mourinho but it shows what a great manager he is if this is the first time in 9 or so years managing some of the biggest clubs in the world where he has struggled. Anything less than a trophy is always going to be a failure at Real Madrid anyway.

Could such a failure have been prevented easily? Yes. A poor season is inevitable when the squad is fighting among itself and you do nothing to fix it. Mourinho for a lot of the season has been losing the support of the players one by one and a few weeks Marca claimed he was on speaking terms with only a handful of players. He dropped the club captain and Real Madrid legend, is not backed by fans or key players but has apparently done little to try to group the players back together. He seemed like he had resigned himself to defeat by November.

However, in my opinion Real Madrid is the impossible job. Nobody can be successful at the club for a long period of time for as long as Real Madrid is run the way it is. It is so stupidly political, there is absolutely no patience among board members and players are treated more like celebrities than professional footballers. (This is part of the reason Barca are more successful than Real Madrid, I think. If you look at the setup at Barca the emphasis is on the team and playing football. On the other hand, football seems to play second fiddle at Real Madrid sometimes. Their training complex is more like a 5 star hotel than a training ground, WAGS go everywhere with the team, players seem to have more 'rock star treatment' than focusing on how to win their next match. Barca are a club, Real Madrid are a company- getting heavily involved in Spanish politics, building holiday complexes on the other side of the world etc. It is ridiculous). Look at some of the world class managers that have been at Real Madrid and have not been given the time to develop something.

Capello got a year the first time, won La Liga but had disagreements with the owners

Heynckes got 1 year

Hiddink got a few months but questioned the board and was consequently sacked

Queiroz got 10 months

Luxemburgo got 1 year

Capello in his second spell won the league and was still sacked because of the playing style

Pellegrini got 1 season

It is a ridiculously run football club. The fans and board are like spoilt children when things go wrong and I'm amazed Mourinho has survived this long to be honest. Maybe the ridiculous running of the self proclaimed biggest club in the world goes some way towards explaining what I see as a complete and utter failure and underachievement in this century. They pay extortionate wages, pay massive sums for players and are run like a 10 year old playing FIFA manager mode. Now considering that they are meant to be 'the biggest club in world football', why have they only won 6 league titles, 1 Copa del Rey, 2 Champions Leagues, 1 Super Cup and 1 Intercontinental Cup since the turn of the century? Considering how they just chuck money at every problem they encounter and buy whoever they want and are meant to be some sort of 'Super Club', I consider that quite an underachievement.

[Alan Partridge 1,124]

[Toli 977]

cadena cope is not a reliable source though. could happen, but wont believe, until as/marca reporting on their own about this topic.

Mourinho: "When I sit down with the President and we make a decision, the club will make an official announcement straight away" #CFC #RMCF

So.. does that mean he hasn't made a decision yet? or is he just fucking with us?

Mourinho: "It's normal not to wait until the end of the season for the fans to know what's going to happen the following season" #CFC #RMCF

The beginning of Casillas vs Mou ...

[Leif 6,006]

If he comes back I'll be incredibly happy for the newer fans who never saw him here. He's just magical

[Heisenberg 1,824]

I always was sure of his comeback since I came here, and I will surely not change my mind now.He is definitely coming back, there is no other options for both.

[Ryan Fong 2,776]

Agree wholeheartedly.

His cocky attitude in the dugout, his bold but decisive subs, the way he teases the press, the way he mocks the opponents, the way he protects our own players, the way he injects never say die spirit into the team, his Armani, his fucking gorgeous face...... Chelsea's legacy

[Heisenberg 1,824]

This made my day :wub:

[Leif 6,006]

Well he's not returning to Inter!!!!!

I'm shocked by this but apparently Mazzari, current Napoli manager, has signed a 3-year deal with Inter.

I thought they would stick by Stramaccioni. Strama is currently denying he's leaving but really reputable sources are claiming they've seen the contract being signed.

Benatia of Udinese is a target now as is Nainggolan.

AS Roma now targeting Allegri as their next manager (they were hoping for Mazzari) with Mancini rumoured to be going to Napoli.

All doors but ours seem to be closing for Mourinho.

Vitor Pereira is leaving Porto apparently. The door is open there...
