Jase 43,479 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Mourinho on those comments about Eto'o (the STs). He also said the comment was obviously not good but was basically just a joke in a friendly conversation with someone not in the footballing world. Said there is no reason for Eto'o (or Torres and Ba) to be upset with it.Here's the video of what he said...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlJw-BBdcGk Mohammed Seif 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! kellzfresh 7,229 Posted February 25, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted February 25, 2014 Well if there were any doubts, now they know they are all shit. Either they respond and start putting chances at the back of the net or get shipped off in the summer.

Britmex 12 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Well Jose has done it again! On the eve of our CL quarter final, the media are focused on him and not the team. No pressure for the team. Why do the media get caught all the time. He really is a PR genius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only place to be 11,313 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 There's a time and place for everything and jose either doesn't give a fuck and he's constantly being an arsehole on purpose for attention or he just can't help himself. There was no reason whatsoever to make such a ridiculous and unprofessional statement in public when you know there are cameras and recording device and you are in an industry or position that demands certain level of professionalizm and less than savy comment and behaviour usually atttact bad press and unwanted attention (from the clubs prspective anyway). He's s great manager but his antics gets boring and lame after a while. Like be matured and professional for a change.If it was an off the record comment, then he isn't in the wrong. If that's the case then you are fundamentally wrong about him making comments 'in public' when they wouldn't have been.Either way, he's speaking the truth. He's saying what every single fan is saying and to be honest, it's really not an issue. Ba is a goner, Eto'o is out of contract and Torres is nothing but a dead weight at this point. If we could ship all three of them out in the summer then we'd be laughing. He's also bang on about the level of professionalism of the reporter IF the comments weren't on the record. IF that's the case then it's massively unprofessional and possibly sackable. Barbara and Muzchap 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Britmex 12 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Well said. Nobody knows what context the conversation was made in. Certainly the journalist reporting it didn't care and it was an off camera private conversation. There is not one Chelsea fan who does not believe our strikers are struggling. He made his comment privately not publicly unlike the hundreds of fans on these public forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's s great manager but his antics gets boring and lame after a while. Like be matured and professional for a change.It wasn't in public and he didn't know he was being recorded. When you are sitting down with a reporter to give him an interview, it's perfectly normal to chat with him before the interview since the operators spend 15 to 20 minutes setting up the cameras/lights/microphones and the person that is going to be interviewed just has to sit there doing nothing the entire time. I know because I've personally seen how it works before. It was a mistake on his behalf but to say he did it on purpose to get attention is nothing short of ridiculous.

I'd like to echo that ^Anything that pushes all three out the door never mind Torres is welcomed from me. They all need to go in the summer!

The Chels 2,502 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Hervé Mathoux, the chief editor of Canal Football Club, said about Mourinho: "We're fully comfortable with [the] interview. We're surprised by Mourinho's comments claiming it was off the record. The camera was located 50 cms, maybe 1 meter away from him. It was a tight close up. Discussion was informal, but it was held in the middle of a large group of people inclduing our cameraman. So there is no way Mourinho could ignore [the fact that] he was being filmed." [@JohnSinnott]The quality and angle of the video does indeed suggest the camera was close up as opposed to being hidden in the corner and so it does seems strange that Mourinho would say he didn't know he was being filmed.

The_Flash 1,144 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Why they making such a big deal about him saying we have no strikers.WE DON'T!!!!Everyone knows we have the weakest strike force of the top four.Etoo might as well be 40 he's so rubbish.We all know about Torres and Ba clearly is so bad in Jose's eyes he doesn't get a chance to show how bad he is.A lot of drama over nothing, but they should not have secretly taped him. That's low!!! Muzchap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only place to be 11,313 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 The camera may have been set up correctly but it's clearly not part of the interview. People are moving around, cups are being clattered....if that's truly the environment that they conduct interviews in then they're at best unprofessional. It's not part of the interview, it's off the record but it is 100% accurate. Barbara and Muzchap 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an of the record conversation and the media screw him.I think people are "cheering" for this cos they see this as a no loss situatuon. Our strikers have been averafe at best this season and this might be the exact thing that woyld give them some extra motivation to perform. Also people are not qorried about it affecting us long term cos none of these 3 are likely ro be here next season. kellzfresh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
