The Mourinho Thread

[Last Sicarius 610]

As he assessed our 3-1 defeat against Liverpool, Jose Mourinho said he felt the game changed as a consequence of Lucas avoiding a second-half dismissal.

Nothing new. Simple is out Jose.

[Fulham Broadway 16,404]

Yeah, yeah. Turns out that the fans are not melodramatic. This man has no clue about long term continuity. Talk about we don't deserve him

I expect the votes to chage significantly after this. Best manager my ass. For 1 year maybe.

3 Premier league titles for our club Chelsea

3 League Cups for Chelsea

An FA Cup for your team Chelsea

2 CL Semi Finals for Chelsea

A Community Cup

Not bad for a Chelsea manager. But if hes the "best Chelsea manager my ass". Yeah Bobby Cambell comes close.

Vote hasnt changed btw.

He should go away, far away. The naivety towards him is colossal. If there was a time to get on my knees and say a prayer, it would be now, praying for him and the poison he emits to be permanently removed by tomorrow/Monday. No such thing as a turnaround. He's such a moronic buffon who's leeching off matchgoers' and other naive fans' sentimentality. He's playing Zouma at RB when we had one of the slickiest, most agile and confident LBs last year whom he sold, let that sink in and just imagine the emerging hate & frustration inside the people who've seen through his rotten mind.

United were in an identical position and decided not to sack Sir Alex Ferguson. I hope we follow suit.

yeah... he didn't talk about costa's kick...

[iceboy 992]

till the end of season Mourinho has my complete support. I don't care about how many more loses we have to endure.

I am choosing to put my faith in Mourinho, the club, and its players.

BELIEVE !!

Don't offend some members here

[Fulham Broadway 16,404]

I just want Roman to stand by a man who has brought the club many happy times.

We can't be sacking a manager after just 2 or 3 months of poor results on the back of years of great results.

We win together, we lose together would be my message.

What year are you referring to?

[Starman60 1,343]

WTF?!

One of the more in depth interviews he has given lately.

[stroey 2,525]

Klopp: "Of course I feel for him [Mourinho], he’s a great coach – he’s one of the best managers in the world."

Klopp: "But I had a similar situation at Dortmund last year but the good thing was that nobody at the club was in doubt about my position."

Klopp: "I never felt pressure so we could change the situation. It’s work but we were here for 3 pts & not changing the situation for #cfc."

What year are you referring to?

some year in the iron age no doubt

[Iggy Doonican 4,186]

That was a debacle one of the most spineless Chelsea performances in years. No excuses can cover up that we were utterly outplayed by a very average Liverpool team. I think for me the game was summed up by Zouma's cross in the last minute. Hazard's body language when he got substituted screamed of someone who's in a football rut. We are so predictable and easy to play against and add to that a manager and players with zero confidence.

[Clockwork 1,764]

I will be SHOCKED if he's still here by Monday.

You think so?

Cause I am not sure, if he is going to be sacked anytime soon it will come after the Stoke game.

[Pizy 17,860]

Sooner people start to come to grips with the fact that we most likely won't finish in the top 4 the less anger and sadness you'll feel. A few weeks back I finally realized that I was taking this too seriously. I was fucking raging like I never have in my life about our situation. Then I remembered it's just a game and that getting so worked up about it is silly.

I've now accepted that we're having a "Moyes" season (still think we'll end up somewhere around where he finished) and am calm. I think sacking him for anyone other than Guardiola would be a step down and it could set us back into rebuilding mode for a season or two.

Like José said in his press conference yesterday, Chelsea aren't suddenly going to become a small club overnight if we go a single season without CL football. Grit your teeth and just bare with it. It's bad but not the end of the world.

Drogba 2006-2007: 33 goals

2007-2008: 26 goals

2008-2009: 14 goals

2009-2010: 37 goals

2010-2011: 13 goals

2011-2012: 13 goals

Not bad for a Chelsea striker. Drogba is one of the best strikers we ever have had but we can't expect him to fire goals in forever and gradually the goals declined and his performances. Mourinho has done so before and done so now, brought short term success to every club he is at then gradually the cracks appear and he does not know how to deal with it. If we are going to base every maangers' job on past achievements, no one might as well be sacked. He has done that in the past but like I said he has not proven he can provide long term stablility. We are lost for ideas, the team seem lost under him. I only see one route here.

^ True that

On a side, I'm just glad Mourinho gave the media the silent treatment. I'm not trying to find excuses for Mourinho or the players, but the way the media works in this country is that they like to aggravate a problem to generate more problems...

Why else would they come up with crap headlines like "Hazard hasn't scored in the last x games..." I mean he's a winger ffs,..and then they proceed to try and widen the rift between manager and player(s).

[stroey 2,525]

What message would it bring if the club sacks him?

He is the CURRENT double winner of the EPL and COC cup, what club will sack their double winning manager?

The club fucked up this summer, starting by the stupid post season tour knowing the league starts 1 week earlier. Followed up by a stupid window, letting CECH go to Arsenal, not signing the players Jose wanted, slowing things down with the Baba transfer and signing Papy as the defensive solution on deadline day.

The club knows what manager Jose is, he needs his type of players to succeed. Those are top class players in their prime age or young world talents. You can't give a Sushi chef ingredients to cook Pizza and expect him to succeed.

The club owes him a January window to fix this mess and should rethink his position at the end of the season. He deserved it to fix his own mess, he has brought us so many happy moments and trophies.
