The Mourinho Thread

[Muzchap 8,966]

So you genuinely think we're languishing at 15th place because of lack of good transfers? Is the lack of good transfers the main reason why we're 15th for you?

For me it's because our manager is too arrogant and refusing to accept any blame, coupled with outdated tactics and a lack of rotation and youth integration, along with plenty of controversy on/off the pitch

All of that takes its toll. It seems like the players no longer enjoy playing under Mou - rightly or wrongly - you need the players to want it.

I have no doubt that an 'average' manager can get us winning again very quickly.

It is a sad time - but Mou has brought this on himself - I honestly do believe that.

Yes Matic was stupid to get sent off - but let's look at that situation, he was publicly condemned - had a good game and felt under pressure to perform - so he tried too hard and got sent off. Thats an example of Jose's mind games backfiring. I just wouldn't want to work with a manager like him - ever.

Arsenal didn't sign a single outfield player but they're not 20th.

The lack of good signings stalled and prevented progress but it's not the reason, or even one of the reasons, for the complete meltdown.

Mate the league employs goal line technology, referees don't make the decision based on what they see.

You'll find they don't they do on "match of the day" and other bits but in the game we don't see it.

And how the hell is it a "no goal"

[MichaelDance 552]

So since the right call (no goal) was made, just because from first glance it looked like it was in, we should have scored?

I don't get that. It didn't go in, so no, it should not be a goal.

Are you really a chelsea fan or just a ref fan?

Look at the ball and look at the line... now tell me that's a no goal or we shouldn't be pissed?

[MichaelDance 552]

The WHOLE of the ball has to cross the line. The goal-line technology was right in this case. No goal.

I'm going to bring this up then if someone tries to score against us and Begovic, Courtois or a player manages to push it away before it goes over.

The man is close to boiling over 24/7 it appears to me. He very rarely looks calm anymore...he now looks and behaves like that very angry and stubborn Wenger. There's a difference though, Jose doesn't have the job security Wenger does.

Reckon he could be angling for the sack...oh and a nice £37 000 000 pay off

[MichaelDance 552]

...I am lost. If any of our players managed to make a goalline save, why bring my quote up?

because you said the whole ball must cross the line at all times, so if it doesn't and it's given against us I'm bringing that picture up and your quote. Because it's one rule for us and one for others and to think you agree with the refs and goaline technology baffles me.

Ahh, the famous por que? press conference. The poll results on that one are hilarious as well.

[Rekin 835]

So, I read that The Times have claimed that Mourinho is one "big" loss away from the sack. The idea from what I understand is to have a temporary manager until summer (the names I have heard are Hiddink and Ancelotti, although I cant see Carlo accepting such an offer for several reasons), and then get another one for the new season.
Im not sure whether it is Times or a less reliable source, but I read that the main candidates are Pep Guardiola and Diego Simeone.

How would people here feel about those two names? Guardiola has an excellent track record,but both his teams were already very, very good before him. I would personally prefer Simeone, I think he has the perfect combination of tactical knowledge and leadership skills that would ensure him success. He signed a new contract with Atletico recently, so I cant see him being cheap though. Sacking Mou and hiring Simeone could be an extremely expensive affair, but surely Chelsea were smart enough to include some kind of "minimum performance" clause in Mou's contract?

as it hasnt been discussed much in here recently, I am going to stick my neck out and say that quite a lot of posters would be happy with Josep Guardiola. ;-)

As you quite rightly say Simeone has just signed an extension and would be expensive whereas Guardiola would come on a 'free' so to speak.

Me.... think I will be different and go for Alan Pardew ;-) ( well he is a Chelsea fan after all )..you know...One of Us......now where have I heard that before?

[ZOS 580]

I believe, Simone is too much like Jose... and Jose is the best of his kind, it would be foolish to sack him and hire someone just like him who flourishes being an underdog. I don't expect Guardiola to come to us either

[bethos1 802]

Guardiola would need to spend like 200mil to make this team work, I don't think he'd like to come here.

[KevinAshburner 1,270]

Hey guys. Jose has accepted the AS MONACO job. He is leaving. Look it up online.

Barcelona weren't that good when Pep took over. In fact, they were in a similar position to us (squad quality size).

Trizia (who for those that dont know ..the chair of Chelsea Supporters Group ) has written her piece....link above

Makes some good points, but am sure those that don't know her and how much 'Chelsea' she is will slate her on this article, especially in last paragraph which I will copy and paste for those that dont want to read the whole article about Mourinho.

"That goes for the fans too. The support at West Ham was superb, but if you are one of the bed-wetters crying all over social media, do us all a favour, stay at home. We only need those with the stomach for a fight. Come on Chelsea!"

Yeah but Pep just like Klopp are attracted to team with history.

This is why the allure of Arsenal and the team that is laid out today would be a better appeal to him.

Why would he want to work with our board when Arsenal board is million times better?

Doesn't Wenger have a contract for 2 more years?
