The Mourinho Thread

[Fernando 6,491]

Can someone ask him why does he insist on using Ramires in the mid?

If because he was the best option available, does he expect to buy a better CM to partner Matic?

Edit: I send the question, but think I might be too late.

Probably the best one tbf!

He's going to wait until pre-season?

Sorry that article seems inaccurate. Mourinho already said that he was to meet with the board last monday to present his dossier on the plans for the next season as well as the futures of the loanees and Terry, Lampard and Cole.

Between now and pre-season there's an entire World Cup to be played. I'm sure he'll be watching the Belgians with a keen eye as well as the rest of the squad.

Jose Mourinho will return to manage Porto in Deco's testimonal... against a Barcelona side featuring Lionel Messi and Ronaldinho

When i read that first line. 'Jose Mourinho returns to manage Porto' i nearly had a heart attack. Thankfully i read the rest and stopped the panic. All is right in the world again!

Actually good interview, considering its in twitter.

- Mourinho said the best place as a manager is in England, which is quite obvious, and make the whole thing about choosing the hard way when the decided to return to England a fraud.

Hi @AbelGuadarrama 10yrs ago i would say be yourself and believe in urself.Now, i would say be what people want you to be #AskJose. JM.

-This is really interesting, because in his second spell it seems Mourinho is not as natural as he used to be, sometimes I think he is saying what people want him to, like when he was declaring his love for english football every single week in the beginning of the season, even his "failure specialist" seems to be a calculated move. He knows Wenger is a level above at this moment, those comments were unnecessary, but he knows thats exactly what press want him to do. Quotes that can make big news.

Hi @Pav_S1994 still coaching a big team, I would love to say Chelsea but I understand modern football.10 years a long time #AskJose. JM.

-It seems he more rational about his future than his previous quotes about not thinking about other clubs. In modern football, 10 years is quite a long time, and even if has success next seasons, its really hard to imagine Mourinho as Chelsea's manager in 2024, for many different reasons.

But I would like to see Mourinho interviewed by someone with balls to ask some sensitive questions.

[pakito 17]

I would really wish he would give some of our youngster more chances in future. And maybe these FFP rules will increase chances of that. We have amazing amount of talent in our academy after all

You should refrain from complaining about Mourinho. Jose doesn't need to prove anything to anyone, he is undoubtedly the most successful coach in the world, in a nutshell, Mourinho means success.

German media and Bayern fans were questioning Guardiola after the Real Madrid catastrophe and some even wanted him out - today he won the German Cup and everybody is happy. Football is a very unthankful and fast-paced business, just keep calm and trust in Mou's abilities.

I rarely read this topic and when I do it I go for a diagonal reading of all this pages. This doesn't mean that I don't know there are guys who like Mou and guys who, let's say, do not agree with his views/attitude/decisions/etc. (especially after a draw, loss, Champions League/FA Cup/Capital One exit)

The thing is you can't call yourself a Chelsea fan and at the same time constantly moan about this guy. Moan about THE BOSS. I wonder, how many guys here on this forum have followed Chelsea's games between 2004 and 2006? Every single game, live games, live feelings, live emotions. not Youtube footage or some highlights broadcasted hours after the game in the Sports news, just before the weather report... (I personally missed only 10-12 games, usually when there was an important game, such as United - Liverpool and the Romanian TV station was broadcasting that game, instead of Chelsea's game).

I mean if you followed Chelsea back then it's impossible not to have an emotional connection with this guy. He is the boss, he is Mou, he is a proper Chels, he is a Chelsea fan in this world of football. That's why Stamford Bridge will always sign his name. Those guys are going to every Chelsea game for a long time now and they know what Mourinho means for this club.

To be honest, even Inter fans respect him more than some "Chelsea fans" here do...

Man, i love Mou. But a lot of people only care about what he's done lately. And think they know better than him, which i find hilarious, Porto fans probably respect him more than some Chelsea fans...

Spot on, im all for constructive criticisms, but at the same time keep a level of respect for someone who has done so much for this club.

Some people have a serious agenda.

[Tomo 21,733]

Look over at Madrid, Carlo smashed the world record for Gareth Bale and has lost the league to a squad that overall cost half of the welshman alone and might lose a final to them to.

Yet despite that a lot of people view his first season as a success, no matter what happens saturday, just shows that people that use money to measure success/failure by the pound are well out of touch with actual reality.
