The Mourinho Thread

[LAM09 7,067]

Never realised how much his pay off fees were should Roman dispense him.

I can now see why he hasn't pulled the trigger as of yet.

I think it's worth noting that at the end of the season there's going to be the european championship. Lots of NT managers will probably get the sack or resign from their duties.

I really hope he'll turn it around and bring us out of the awkward situation we're in, but if he won't, it'll be worth looking into that.

I would love to see Conte as Chelsea manager. He can build a squad for consistent success, knows how to motivate players. He would not have any problems working with the board. He is the perfect coach for us.

Del Bosque? Low?

I'm not sure about Conte, i have a love-hate relationship with him, but it would be a massive test for him to come to Chelsea, winning the serie a with Juve is really not that much of an achievement. It is true however that Italy is still unbeaten in the qualifying group, even with some unconvincing performances.

However when an italian comes to Chelsea be it as a player or as a manager, massive stuff tends to happen.

I would be curious to see what would happen if Del Bosque would be our manager, considering that our main core of players is spanish.

Hodgson?

To be successful in England a manager must know how to give hairdryer treatment. Del Bosque is not that sort of manager and if fans think Mourinho is the best manager for a southwest London club Low must be the worst. No one wants to see him picking his nose at Stamford Bridge.

Yes it is not a big achievement winning the league with Juventus but so is winning the Scottish league with Rangers, Bundesliga with Bayern. Conte cares about diet like Wenger, builds a squad and yells at players like Ferguson, knows the psychology of top players and rich owners like Carlo. Among the options we have Conte is the best.

Malouda thinks we will be ok...

[CurlyHairLikeLuiz 1,625]

So everybody thinks we'll be ok apart from some members on a forum

Hmm

Lol... That's the trouble with 'popular' opinion...

Like everybody who thought the earth was a flat object and you would fall off if you sailed too far into the sea!

Popular opinion is often complete bollocks because it requires little or no effort to maintain the status quo.

Like I will repeat - if you are all happy with the direction the club is moving in, the performances since January - then Jose is your man. If you require a little bit more than that, Jose isn't your man.

I'm now firmly planted in the latter camp - (the earth is round and doesn't revolve around Mou's ego)

Fair play to Liverpool - they saw a problem (Rodgers regressing) acted and it looks like they have got a great manager.

THIS. :clap:

reading all the interviews by various players, i have to ask, "do they actually believe everything what jose says? did they actually believe that they did not deserve to lose against SOTON and lost only because of the ref. that height is the main criteria for choosing a team?"

[stroey 2,525]

I love Chelsea too much to go years without watching and that's what's going to happen if Pep ever comes here. I refuse to watch that man.

Same here.

Pep as Chelsea manager is the biggest nightmare for me.

[zolayes 14,489]

“What’s going on? I do not know. The results with Chelsea at the moment have been really bad. I cannot hide that reality, and I don’t want to. And I struggle to find an explanation."

Good to know he still doesn't know what's going on. Maybe because he is incapable of seeing faults in himself? Not encouraging.

Mourinho was then asked his opinion of the Leicester City manager, Claudio Ranieri, who he succeeded at Stamford Bridge in 2004.

“He has lived for five years in England and still has trouble saying good morning and good afternoon. He is almost 70 [Ranieri is 63], and he has won a Super Cup and another small cup. He’s too old to change mentality.”

What the actual fuck? Embarrassing.

I'm fairly sure this one is an old comment he made about Ranieri (while José was in Italy) and the journalist lazily copied in the article. Why would someone ask him about Ranieri now?

[coolhead23 1,147]

Jose, please for GOD SAKE ..... ZIP IT UP!!!!

Concentrate on YOUR game rather than blabbling away to glory about others.

but then ranieri would be nowhere near 70 years old, would be in 50s

[Clockwork 1,794]

but then ranieri would be nowhere near 70 years old, would be in 50s

Or living in England.

“Ranieri? I guess he’s right with what he said I am very demanding of myself and I have to win to be sure of things. This is why I have won so many trophies in my career. Ranieri on the other hand has the mentality of someone who doesn’t need to win. He is almost 70 years old. He has won a Supercup and another small trophy and he is too old to change his mentality. He’s old and he hasn’t won anything. I studied Italian five hours a day for many months to ensure I could communicate with the players, media and fans. Ranieri had been in England for five years and still struggled to say ‘good morning’ and ‘good afternoon.'"

Lazy Journalism. These are 2008/2010 comments, When José was at Inter and Ranieri at Juventus/Roma.

[Kieran. 6,317]

That's an old quote. That's fucking appalling that they would recycle that quote and pretend Jose said that today.
