[Rhino's Skin 972]

Seriously what does Maureen mean?

I have asked this question before, btw I know a girl with the same name.

just a girls name which opposition refer to Mourinho as......similar to Brendan Rogers being called Brenda.

You've answered your question mate.

People are calling him a girl whenever they say Maureen, more so a 'Bitch' tbh.

[Special Juan 28,143]

kin ell....this muppet will be calling the club Cheelskiii and referring to the rest of us as chavs or plastics next.

It aint big, clever or even remotely amusing using opposition terminology against our own no matter how much you might dislike him

Just don't rise to it please, It's sets the thread onto another path that it doesn't need to go.

You just stick to the topic and the rest will see to itself.

Please, no Guardiola, please.

What he has achieved in Barcelona was masterclass, he arguably put up one of the best team ever, and won a shitload of trophies, buit the past is the past.

When he went to Munich, he inherited one of the most dominant team ever, the Bayern of Heynckes, which was so impressive and nearly impossible to beat (remember the 7-0 against Barcelona).

Since then, what exactly has he achieved?

He managed to "destroy" the best side of Europe at that moment (no doubt about it), and transform it into a way less effective team, altering the culture of the club by only bringing spanish players (with one or two exceptions) and implementing that tikitaka style that doesn't fit Bayern.

Also, let's not talk about his need of playing his players out of their best position. He'd come, Fabregas would become a CB and Pedro a DM. I'm exagerating of course but you get the point.

This man is such a hipster...

He won the Bundesliga, as it would be expected, but failed everytime it mattered most, in the last stages of the CL. Lost lamentably against Real and Barcelona last year.

Let's just stick with José and give him the time to turn things around.

I'm happy to see the forum in good debate, that's all I want.

Have a great weekend.

Congratulations on your new acquistition, i think the missus will like the handbag.

I should buy one for the mistress, good brainstorming.

Dailymail throws everything they have at Chelsea/Mourinho, they really hate us, but they ain't us.

Take it in the ass, "journalists"....

Jose Mourinho 'begged Chelsea not to sell Kevin De Bruyne'

But yes, he is destroying the club...

EDIT:

Sorry, too slow, my bad.

[Gilvorak 3,734]

Guardiola isn't coming here no chance. He'd have to sell 90% of the squad Mourinho built. The time to bring him in was the summer of 2012 but we reacted too late.

yeah , desperate to keep him for next seasons COC campaign. I don't believe those claims. you don't beg the board to keep him , you play him.

[lucio 5,418]

guardiola would be a disaster. we are not a team for soft passing. i bet he would stick cesc up front , azpi in midfield and matic to cb. not even worth thinking about. ancelotti and emery are the only managers I can see out there.

[Essien19 1,415]

He got playing time in the league.

Sometimes things need more time.

KdB couldn't wait with the upcoming world cup, so he desperately wanted to leave and the club granted his wishes.

I can moan every day about that decision or take it like a man and get on with life.

For me, it's the last one.

[HRiver 1,512]

Whaat... people seriously want Pep here? Even Bayern fans don't like him. Well, when their club reaches the most important point during a season that is (i.e. CL quarter/semi-final). Bundesliga is easy, let's not fool ourselves here. Bayern in the last two years have been demolished in Europe, all thanks to Pep and his amazing attacking skills.

Mourinho is far superior tactically, always has been.

Really strange. Mourinho saying he is getting no respect when his private life is involved, then a Chelsea spokesperson explains the teenage video controversy.

So, why in the hell is a Chelsea spokesperson explaining something that according to Mourinho himself, is something related to his private life?

I really don't know if Mourinho has any kind influence in how the club interact with media, but in the past there was no official words at all during controvertial moments, and now the club is even releasing dull statements just to say the clubs "is not happy" with Diego Costa banning.

They're right though. People have zero respect these days smh

I don't like Guardiola myself but I think you are doing him a bit of a disservice.

Yes he took over a treble team, but that doesn't make his job easier, if anything it makes it harder, motivating motivating team off the back of success is the hardest job in football, never mind a treble, he had to go to Bayern and convince and motivate a bunch of treble winners to not only "go again" but to embrace the new ideas, look at Benitez in Inter, it really isn't as easy as it looks on the face of it.

He might have underachieved In Europe but he's done very well to keep up the domestic dominance and avoid complacency.

it would have been more impressive , not to keep up the domestic dominance , with that squad, in that league.

i guess at inter , the players were old and tired. I think jose said , it was their last chance.

Or Mourinho at Chelsea this season.

So yes motivation after winning big is hard as we are seeing now.

[DYC. 7,542]

No one can tell me Mourinho wouldn't salivate at the thought of Santon, 6ft2, at RB, Juan Jesus, a 6ft1 CB, shifted to fullback and a midfield consisting of the likes of Medel, Guarin, Melo, Kondogbia and Perisic.

[Fernando 6,585]

@Tomo,

See this is what I told you about Mourinho. Giving a one game here and there to a youth don't mean nothing if it's not sustainable time.

As soon as one game back to being in the bench RLC.

And let's not even talk about that as soon as Ivanovic is back to being fit he goes back to RB.

Sustainability is the key!
