The Mourinho Thread

Must Watch

[Fulham Broadway 17,343]

This isn't the 70s under Clough, or the 90s under Ferguson clubs don't operate like that anymore. It's laughable to think Mourinho, or any manager come to that is solely responsible for ins and outs nowadays.

A Mourinho player is, for me all about personality and desire. Look at the great sides he had here and at Inter and Porto and the top players who gave everything to win.

Not getting the ones he wanted in the Summer, the board or Abramovich getting rid of Cech...and then non-application from the remainder of the title winners for whatever reason brought out the Hitler in the bunker mentality.Hazard at Leicester, as an example, was the antithesis of what a Mourinho player is. Talent means little without application and hunger

No matter how much they love each other, some couples are just not meant to be..

[Rhino's Skin 972]

That's what's daft.they're usually a tenner you'd wait till its definite...weird thing to do.

Just as bad as half n half scarves.......should have had LVG n Mourinho as half n half on there

[Iggy Doonican 4,186]

I beg to differ. He comitted to us not because of loyalty, but because he knew that the fans love him and will always stand by him no matter what. Not to mention the pay check. It's not like he was managing us pro bono. His sallary was huge.

Loyalty doesn't exist anymore. Not in football

Pretty cynical but pretty true.

Nothing is worse then half and half scarves I just couldn't wear anything with another clubs crest on it especially fucking Liverpool.

Dont mind them for kids as mementos when playing European teams...but never for other English clubs and never ever worn at matches...kid or not.

Back to Jose scarfs....wonder if any were spotted on TV inside the ground being worn or waved about

And yet we're going to build a team around players like Hazard, players who rarely show any bottle.

someone will quote you or/and me for "insulting" Hazard, remarking how his poor form is not because of himself but everyone else around him.

Oh and he carried the whole team of "losers" last season, we basically won the title only because of him, otherwise we wouldn't even have made top 4.

[lucio 5,418]

nice little vacancy back at madrid for him?

he can go there, win the CL this season

[Special Juan 28,179]

Rafa to be sacked according to some media today.

[Fernando 6,586]

Perfect they are made for each other.

 

[Fernando 6,586]

I kinda liked Rafa when he was here, there was some progress at the end of the season.

But oh well, too bad many people don't like him.

He should stay as far away from us as possible.

What's his missus said about that I wonder?

Lool, I actually do feel sorry for him - to an extent. His failed media wars with SAF & Mourinho damaged him, rivals saw him as weak and naive. He's a knock-out competition manager, his track record proves that considering he's won both major European Cups, both with English teams as it happens!

But he's one of those guys you'll either get along with really well or you won't and that'll be very damaging esp for Rafa. Terry didn't want him at Chelsea (much like the fans) & he's reportedly having problems with James at Real. Towards the end of his Liverpool tenure it was said Gerrard & Torres weren't happy with him either.

Odds on him coming back here next December when we sack Brendan Rodgers?

If Mourinho isn't going to Madrid then there's really only one other job left for him, unless he plans to go in the summer.

Yeah, just heard about that (Rafa). Yikes. Only because RM are 4 points behind the top!

 

Also it's said that Zidane's the one to replace him, not Mourinho.

It has nothing to do with being 4 points behind. It has to do with ALL PLAYERS not wanting him, they even wrote a letter to Florentino asking for him to keep Carlo and he ignored it. Now, with voting taking place soon and the fans utterly upset with their president, this is Florentino admiting he fucked upbig time and he obviously dont want the voters unhappy (aka the members).

Right I don't feel that sorry for him

He was never going to get fan approval at Chelsea, certainly not openly. We can admit amongst ourselves he actually did a job when he got here, finished top 3 with some silverware to show for it, but he even knew how unforgiving SB crowd could be.

He did get a respectful goodbye though.

Although we can all laugh at Real Madrid, I do envy the fact that they elect presidents to their position. I'm not too au fait with the way it works but at least there's some accountability there. 

If only we had something similar.
