The Mourinho Thread

[GodZola 630]

3 years is more then enough.

Why do we need to keep a manager for 5 to 10 years around?

Just doesn't make sense to me in this modern world.

If you are going that route, you need to give that man all control like SAF and Wenger have.

Mourinho doesn't have that, and no one will ever be.

So in our predicament, you come do your cylce and then move on.

So you wouldn't keep a manager more than 3 years if he spent the that time building & nurturing his squad & that team is about to ripen? Or that manager has had a successful 3 years & that team is on the vurge of something great?

Pretty clear most on here want Jose out, the minority are prepared to give Jose the time he has earned to turn it around. Whether he does or not is open to question, I personally believe he will be a far better manager for seeing it through & the club will hopefully reap the rewards laterally.

You hit the nail on the head with control as Ferguson had, I believe Jose is simmering behind the scenes cus he is not in total control of player transfers, Fergy was allowed to build several squads of his own, their boards patience was rewarded with years of success & even they went through poor spells as we are right now.

Cesc wasnt here then and Brana wasnt the liability he is now ,, Incidentally Carlos stats are almost Identical to Joses second spell and his trophy record was better

Brana wasn't but Lampard and Malouda were awful and got selected when fit, he is a massive fan of experience (even chose Paulo at CB over Bruma) and no way would he drop Ivan for Baba if he didn't drop those two in 10/11.

[Pacquiao 1,834]

last week he said that our performance was -1 out of a score of 0-10. that was protecting the team too? i think he says it like it is specially when it is concerning our performances.

no he said our 1st half performance was -1 and then praised our 2nd half performance.

Of course if there's anything to give you that.

This ain't the case here. We have regress back from the buzz we had when Mourinho came.

A lot of the creativity and youth this club had is now left kinda stale.

I don't like how we are "improving" under his stewardship.

I didn't like Benitez but I have to admit there was some great things to look at towards the end of the season.

I don't get that with Mourinho. Even if we was to recover I don't get that feeling.

100% agree with this from the Guardian. Fair play to everyone that went last night our captain is not fucking Ivanovic.

Our defence was still awful with Terry in it, there's something fundamentally wrong that reinstating Terry or even dropping Ivanovic isn't going to sort.

I know what you mean but feelings can be subjective. SAF was extremely unpopular in his first few years at OT and no supporter would have trusted him to build such a legacy. I can honestly not think of a manager who would be immune against this sort of slump. we had it under carlo, rdm and avb. Simeone the arguably best coach in the wordl is experiencing a very patchy period, too. Dortmund even drifted to last place in a much weaker league under jürgen KLopp. Patience is all we can give MOurinho. But if we are patient or not, we have to get out there and sacking the manager is not an option atm IMO

They also sang 'Jose Mourinho' several times, which was good to hear.

Link?

Ivanovic has suffered a drastic form dip this year and is understood to be one of the six players Mourinho privately criticised for lacking attitude and desire after the 2-2 draw at Newcastle.

Let's wait the answer from the players.

and still starts with him?!

i agree mate but we badly need someone to organise the defence. Just don't see there second goal going in if J.T, was playing. That Guardian column says there's some unhappy players in the squad saying Mourinho was making them scapegoats after Newcastle. His man management skills these days seem to be non existent starting off by having a go at R.L.C. in that pre season game. Who would have noticed if he had a poor game in a glorified kick about. If Mourinho had the hump with him he could have bollocked him behind closed doors not in public.

Some say oh that's what R.L.C. needed i just don't buy that. It's totally unnecessary to have a dig at one of our best prospects in public it could have gone the other way and completely shot the kid's confidence.

Sound like a lot of conjectures about unhappy players really, everyone seems quite happy at the club as far as we can see. I hear you about JT, would be nice to find a balance between having him in the team and having a high line.
