The Mourinho Thread

[Laylabelle 9,395]

Does feel bit didnt think he'd get the sack/this would happen.Thought he'd be with us for a while,build up something and leave when ready.Not us in 16th playing utter shite..thats football I guess and wish him the best wherever he goes when he goes...unless its Liverpool

Either from this moment we will witness one of the greatest managerial comeback in history or it is the end of Jose, I doubt Jose will pull off a miracle so the end of him seems more likely

Who cares about the interview. Don't understand why people care about it. He's not going to say what he really feels there.

People give it way too much importance.

Definitely not going to blame Mourinho for all of this shit because most of the players haven't bothered turning up for the season either, be it due to poor and arrogant pre-season preparation or just general decline due to old age but Jose must be blamed for stubbornly sticking by the underperforming players' side instead of telling them to fuck off and give other squad members chances to take their place.

Ivanovic, Matic, Fabregas, Hazard, Oscar, Cahill all been shamefully bad for players of their status and experience. I really don't know if they're not playing well because they're fed up with Mourinho or if they're just severely unfit and unmotivated to do any better after being crowned champions last season and also knowing their place in the team is not at risk even if they play badly.

Personally I wouldn't sack Jose but the man seriously must grow some balls and make the hard decision of throwing some of last season's stars to rot with the reserves until they're ready to give 100% on the pitch again or just fuck off from the club if they still can't. If that doesn't help, then I'll re-think about getting rid of Mourinho.

If we sack him we better make damned sure we get a suitable man in. A proven winner with a set style and philosophy.

Exactly this - sadly

I really thought he would turn it around this season and silence all of the critics - but it's just fell apart even quicker than anybody can imagine

To be fair, he has some points in the interview:

- We have a habit of puting the blame on the manager and sacking them, to this day I don't understand why Carlo Ancelotti was sacked.

- It's not tactical mistakes, but moreover individual mistakes that cost us. These players are paid 100-250 THOUSAND euros a week to kick a ball, excuse me if I don't feed into the "manager can't motivate the players", is this a sunday league team? Players have to be held responsible, aswell. This hole we're in, was a group "effort".

The level of referees in the Premier League is shocking, so many mistakes, game changing moments gone wrong for most teams. Can't wait for camera refereeing, it's 2015.

Atleast Mourinho shows that he cares, he let's his temper and emotion take control of him, but that's form one point utterly unprofessional but yet understandable. Atleast he is invested.

Imagine if he said so and so were shite.He'd be blasted for having a go at them publicly.Then again needs to stop blaming the ref!

Like Neville said yonks back cant blame the ref for a result when you play poor anyway.Shouldn't have to rely on pens to win us games.

Klopp's jurgen pressing(however you spell it) or Pep posession football.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

So uh, is it just me who thinks Mourinho should still be allowed to fix his mess?

[Jase 43,479]

When Mourinho started talking in that post-match interview, he mentioned the need to be honest considering we're in a really really bad moment and I actually thought he was going to be honest (like actual honest) for once. But when he started blaming the referee, I thought 'oh my god, here we go again'.

At this point, I think I don't really care anymore. If the club does decide to sack Mourinho, then so be it. He's definitely one of the parties to be blamed for the mess we are in right now and he doesn't even look like he knows what he's doing anymore. One minute, he hints at doing something different and the next, he does the complete opposite. Think Miguel Delaney summed up the situation perfectly.

On the other hand, what has happened to the players? I mean how can they go from being the English champions to looking like players playing in the third division?! Where is the commitment, desire and passion? Even if they don't really like Mourinho, they still have a damn obligation to do well for the club in general, the fans and practically everyone else associated with the club. The performances they have put in this season have been nothing short of embarrassing. Spineless. Clueless. Mentally weak. This team seriously lack characters, characters with the mental strength and 'balls' to react strongly in dire situations.

Lmao for real, I've ignored it. It's not for us, it's just a show for the media as a deflection tactic. SAF used to do it all the time and no-one really gave two shits in the end.

[Leif 6,006]

"The greatest manager this club has ever had..." line was just so fucking desperate. I want him sacked for that.

who won us the CL jose? WHO JOSE? SAY HIS NAME!!!! *shoves picture of Di Matteo down Jose's throat*

[Laylabelle 9,395]

Least our usual winter slump looks unlikely to happen..probably still be going on like this come then

[Kieran. 6,317]

They always say it's not as magical the second time around...O:)

Wasn't there an article some time ago where Rafa Benitez said that he always had to clean up the mess Mourihno made ( Inter, Chelsea, Real). I know " the fat Spanish waiter" isn't really popular here but maybe there's some truth to it. Mourinho can win you the league short term but is self-destructive (for him AND the team) on the long term.

I personally don't like Benitez, but I can't lie and have to be honest that we actually was improving with him towards the end.

Everything was toxic at the beginning because we was mad, but honestly there was a great buzz at the end. And I said to myself why not keep him?

If you are doing good you keep all things equal.

Mourinho came and totally destroy that good work.

Now we are left stuck in a rut.

Yes, but mainly because she looks like Susan Boyle in this universe...

You're a sick man.

I will conquer Jenny from the block. I'm not fooled by the rocks that she got.

I wish we knew what is going on behind the scenes. Jose lacks class and is a bully, we all knew that, but if simply has his hands tied due to people in the club then even less of the blame is on him.

Players seem to have lost some of their hunger that was more present the last seasons. It is not uncommon to see this in teams that have been winning lately.
Maybe he was denied players he felt he needed? I dont know, I think people in our position need to be careful before throwing all the blame for an outcome on one person.

Having said that, I want this guy out due to him being an absolute prick. He lacks respect for anything and anyone except himself and the people who pay him. His football represents his character perfectly. It is boring to watch, and now it isnt even providing results. No, Im seriously tired of seeing my passion for the club go down with each season, regardless of results.


If we would sack him now the obvious question is who will replace him? Klopp has done a lot with little before, but I dont think there are any obvious candidates at this point in time. Managers at this level do not simply jump ship for higher offers.

LOOOL what?

DO WE REMEMBER THE 2014-15 SEASON?! It seems like everyone here is forgetting that we are the CURRENT champions of England.
