The Mourinho Thread

[Laugh1ngMan 393]

Which is sometimes all a Club needs. I like Sherwood, he may be limited as a coach/tactician but he fires people up. He almost has a WUM approach to management.

You may like it or you may not but if its all a team needs why spend any money on a coach and not just hire a passionate fan who will do it gladly for free.

He's just way over the top for me, and if i was a player the positive effect of it would very quickly turn into irritation since like you said he brings very little else.

It's all flash and no substance imo

True but that 'fire up players/instill the passion' approach isn't going to get one far, especially when in Sherwood's case, he doesn't even have the tactical nous to back that up. He's almost the typical English coach - plenty of huff and puff but no genuine substance to go along with it.

Anybody watching Villa - would probably agree they need firing up.

I think it's way too early to judge him, sure he wears his heart on his sleeve - but I don't think thats a bad thing.

Time will tell....

Not saying that's a bad thing but that quality alone won't be enough to get one far. Most managers have passion and live for the game but the more successful ones, be it at the top club or even the middle ones, marry passion with tactical nous. Sherwood looks short of the latter in his managerial career.

That's putting it mildly.

Didn't he go to Anfield last season with Chadli and Sigurdson in centre midfield? absolutely clueless.

He said this about defensive midfielders last season...

http://www.goal.com/en/news/9/england/2014/01/28/4576820/sherwood-against-holding-midfielders-les-ferdinand

"I don't like holding midfield players. I like players to understand that, if one goes forward, the other one tucks in for them. I don't want someone who just sits in front of the back four and doesn't go anywhere but that's just my own personal view.

"I was saying to William Gallas when he was here: The worst thing that happened in this league was Claude Makelele.

"When he came into this country [to Chelsea in 2003] he wasn't a holding midfield player. He was a player who had the intelligence to say: 'Frank [Lampard], you can score more goals than me so, if you go, I'm going to tuck in here for you and I'll hold. You keep going forward.'

"Then everyone went 'right, we've got to have a holding midfield player' and what we've done is produce a crop of players who don't want to go over the halfway line, who don't want to pass over the halfway line and are happy to just sit in front of the back four."

"Do Man City play with one? They've still scored 100-odd goals," he observed. "People say Yaya Toure is a holding midfielder. No he isn't, he's getting forward and getting goals - but, if someone else goes, he'll stay in there.

"Fernandinho's scoring goals. Why? Because he's a holding player? No. They've just got an understanding: 'If he goes, I'll hold, and, if I go, he'll hold'."

Professional players in the PL would rather play for Mourinho than Guardiola or Wenger

From the article:

I want to make a bet with everyone reading this post. I bet that, if you read the post to the end, you won't be able to avoid laughing. You are just going to laugh right out loud....

I heard a Liverpool fan on the radio the other day saying that every team in the Premier League would swap their manager for Brendan Rogers.

To be fair the vast majority probably would. I can only think of us who categorically wouldn't.

Florentino Perez has started thinking about Madrid post-Ancelotti and made a call to Mourinho about a possible return.

Perez made a call to Mourinho that last 15 minutes, congratulating him on his Capital One victory but found a tough response

Mourinho: "My wife is happy in London, my son is happy in London, my daughter is happy in London and I am happy in London."

Mourinho in conversation with Perez: "I won't coach in another country. My professional career ends in England."

Coaching and playing in Spain is horrible, the fans ,the atmosphere, the media, the slow playstyle, the pressure its not fun.

The best leagues are England and Germany , the fans love u, u get respect from People,full stadium and u have a life there without so much pressure.
