The Mourinho Thread

[Strike 6,965]

Yes but because it's Benitez, people seem to be getting on his case more. Even in Mourinho's last 44 games, we drew against the likes of Reading, Rosenborg, Fulham, Wycombe Wanderers etc.

yeah. I agree. People are finding excuses to criticising Benitez in ways like - "Chelsea were 4 points off the top when Benitez took over, now it's 20-odd points"

So much written but....

Jose is this...& that, I read. Are you clairvoyant by any chance ?

Jose is so good he will adapt to any circumstances. New players will be bought soon, the nucleus of the team is there & very talented, I might add.

Jose on board will be nothing but a great benefit for the club. Currently, there is no better than Jose, I feel.

Charismatic coach, stands behind & defends his team vociferously, I like that.

Who is clairvoyant?

And for me, I think Jose is a great coach. One of the best in the world.

But above all else, I like the club more. And I would want whats best for the club.

If Mourinho is best for the club, so be it. I'm fine with that.

If the club thinks is somebody else, I'm cool with that.

I was just stating that Mourinho likes to seek attention like Neymar. I been hearing all this about Mourinho coming back for years, that it's getting boring.

I hope this summer is for real.

If not, I give up!

If anyone else but Jose returns (or Hiddink... I guess I'd accept him) I'll sever my balls off and post them to wherever Roman may be. The idea of Jose returning has me more excited than when we signed Torres (which looking back on makes me cringe).

Does anyone have a transcript of Jose's press conference from earlier today? I read some quotes on twitter and it came off like the GOAT press conference. Funniest was him talking about Iniesta LOL!

Marca: Mourinho's car has been attacked by Real's Fans.

[bushman 2,043]

But really, why would he know?

Would the board really go out to tell him, you will be replaced by Jose Mourinho? What do they gain from that?

I assume Benitez is only saying that because that is what everyone else is saying.

Could be wrong, then again-- we won't know either way till the deal is done.

Where did I say he knows for sure ? I assume...your sentence is correct.

[SinineUltra 1,164]

isn't that the case with all small teams? Failure to win Reading/QPR is easily worse than failing to win Liverpool/Swansea

Beating smaller teams shouldn't be something we should take self explanatory because it will lead to complacency and losses. Maybe it is in FIFA or any other game but in real life even the unknown players are capable of magic. Why not be happy that we are in the final regardless if we didn't beat the likes of Porto? I mean all the teams we faced along the way had to beat other teams in order to reach as far as they did. Talking about your Liverpool example, they havefailed miserably to reach as far as we have in Europa League so credit where credit's due. (Had to google but they lost to Braga at the round of 16 in 2011 and lost to Zenith in the round of 32)

[bushman 2,043]

Yes, but to say that we were "hovering in the middle of the PL" is both ignorant and inaccurate.

Nothing is ignorant & .....just a general statement representing years before.

[Special Juan 27,104]

Just reading the Spanish press, it's war now with Jose having a dig at players..a war Jose can't win.

There is just no way he is staying at Madrid, not a chance in hell.

Marca: Mourinho's car has been attacked by Real's Fans.

Is that true?

That's crazy!

I thought they liked Mourinho?

Again, I repeat. I am in no way belittling the Europa League. Instead I am saying that a loss vs QPR/Reading is more humiliating than a loss vs Liverpool/Swansea. It's the human condition. A small team would at best get a draw vs Chelsea but those days are now gone.

And I did not get your last point. I don't think I've ever had anything good to say about Liverpool

Some do but the majority don't, and after today's comments it will only get worse.

[Leif 6,006]

Apparently Lopez, Essien & Modric are the only Madrid players currently firmly onside with Mourinho.

I'll be getting the popcorn ready, This is getting interesting

UPDATE:

Jose Mourinho went home in Rui Faria's car & was attacked by a #RMCF fan. Mourinho's assistant then got out to defend his boss (Marca) #CFC

[Leif 6,006]

Mourinho on Pepe's criticism: "His problem is simple - he has been replaced by a 19-year old (Varane)."

Mourinho on Casillas: "As long as I'm Real Madrid manager, Diego Lopez will always be first & Casillas second. Simple."

Mourinho on his future: "After the elimination to Dortmund I have not decided to resign. I have planned to continue."

Mourinho on Iniesta saying Casillas should be first choice etc: "Iniesta can have his opinion on Casillas, but he really ought to worry about his own team and what happens when Messi isn't there."

Mourinho on López: "I prefer a keeper who is good with his feet and dominates in the air. Likewise, Casillas can say he prefers Del Bosque."

Mourinho to press: "I am the boss not you and my job is to decide who plays, that's what I'm hired for."

Mourinho on whether he would get a big pay-off if he is sacked: "I will take my wage until my last day in the job. I don't want a euro more."

Clairvoyance = someone who assume things through crystal ball.

Since you mentioned above Jose one of the best....& you want the best for the club, then pray he is coming soon.

Whether you find stories about Jose boring, then I´d suggest do not read them.

Personally, I like to read about & see him coaching. Sometimes, I even watch Real games, so I see what´s he gonna do next.

As I said, charismatic chap, my kind of coach. None of that shitty red nosed or Le Wenger, for me.

[Special Juan 27,104]

It wouldn't surprise me if he is sacked this week.
