The Mourinho Thread

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

If he was to be sacked the club would have announced it after the Pool game, think it will take a defeat on Wed to seal it.

the big question is why ? most of our squad dont seem that type .

Well, if the players start playing well as soon as Mourinho is gone then they know that in future they can just down tools when they don't like the manager to get rid of him...I guess we'll see.

I really need someone here to explain me what are the positives if José resigns, short and long term ones, because I feel that the poll should be just 'José IN', but I dont know, can someone change my mind ?

I prefer not to speak.

somehow, someone thinks that a fresh stream of flowing football will erupt after a bad period at Chelsea under Jose. that would be a miracle.

It's near the end.

Sacking Jose? Well, keep dreaming tonight. If rather sell the players who are under performing than see Jose leaving. As the guy said on video we can sacrifice this season to keep Mourinho.

Well I hope you are willing to sacrifice two because nobody of note is coming to Chelsea when they are in the championship

Some years ago Nottingham Forest won the European Cup with Brian Clough and set records during his reign, and he was as iconic a manager as Jose Mourinho. Forest got into a bad run, but the board at Forest stuck with the manager who brought them the world and made them Champions..........They got relegated and have never got back........Just saying

New managers can cause a spark though. I wouldn't necessarily link it to consciously turning it up because they got rid of the previous manager. Most of the time it's just the players trying to prove themselves and claim a spot under the new manager. Or simply a welcome freshness in terms of training, playing style and tactics. I don't think an entire group of players can be that diabolical.

I still say it's mostly linked to the physical shape. And then it got so bad it affected the mental shape. I don't buy the motivation crap. Not after one measly title. Besides, Courtois, Ivanovic, Terry, Cesc, Matic, Hazard and Costa (only mentioning starters) won a title(s) before. They, and others, have won cup competitions as well.

This is very much like Dortmund last season. They too reached a point of no return. New manager Tuchel is playing with the same team for the most part though, but he dropped a couple of underperforming players, made some changes to the roles of certain players and changed Dortmund's style in general. He didn't even have to go out and buy top players or get rid of players 'who don't care'. This is the best Dortmund team since 12/13.

It may look like it right now, but these players haven't forgotten how to play football.

If that's a wave of goodbye then I'm hoping Roman and Guardiola have entered in their 7th hour of conversation already.
