The Mourinho Thread

[xPetrCechx 13,546]

Despite the denial of #CFC, the hypothesis of an involvement of Shevchenko at the club, at managerial level is very real. (via @DiMarzio)

Always on good terms with Abramovich, former striker Shevchenko seems to have become his confidant and possible manager (via @DiMarzio) #CFC

Going to watch #CFC games, close to Abramovich. At the time Shevchenko's role has not been defined but his presence is there (via @DiMarzio)

In addition, the name of Marcello Lippi as a possible replacement was brought forward by Shevchenko together with Abramovich (via @DiMarzio)

The club denies, but the situation is: Shevchenko could return to #CFC. No longer as a player but in the ranks of management (via @DiMarzio)

#CFC say the position over Mourinho has not changed, he remains their manager, but that can change with one phone call from Roman (Guardian)

So by that logic last season was all players as well? You can't give Mourinho any credit for last season if you don't give him blame for this. For all the brilliant points brought up in this topic, I can't believe there are still people who don't see any fault in Jose.

No, it's saying that you cannot possibly give Mourinho the whole blame when a champion team can't strong passes together.

Mourinho on players: "Some of them need to rethink how the way they live Chelsea, they live football, they live their job." #CFC (ChelseaTV)

Mourinho: Chelsea is big, football is more than a job, it's a passion. Every match on the pitch you should live with an unbelievable passion

Mourinho on #CFC players: How many millions would love to be football players & they can't be? You shouldn't waste any minutes on the pitch.

Mourinho: "Yes, I feel frustrated with some players and I feel that some others they give absolutely everything." #CFC (ChelseaTV)

No word on his tactical and line-up decisions, no? Didn't think so.

A £40m contract without any insurance to break it at a lesser cost, I do not believe in it. We are talking about Abramovitch for Christ's sake. A Russian billionaire oligarch that has to deal with people of Poutine's standard. And the rest seems to be a bunch of top-flight businessmen that have to create every day new astuces to not pay any taxes. There is no way that a football coach can fool them in such a department. But if it is truly the case, he Madoff-ed 'em.

I want a threesome with Jennifer Lawrence and Alison Brie.

Neither are happening, unfortunately.

FFS why is Lawrence so overrated

De gustibus non est disputandum. I think she's quite the looker.

And Mourinho should go, obviously...

Like everyone else, he probably thought it was impossible that we could be in this situation. The thought of sacking José less than a year after winning the title was inconceivable. Wouldn't be totally shocked if there was no clause because he never could've imagined this happening.

Am I crazy if i'm still behind him ?

[hjperdeath 2,226]

Would be a very interesting option tbh. I really like how Koeman sets his team up.

True. He'd give the youth a go to, apart from the fact that his philosophy is new and fresh. Grab him from the Saints like the Spurs did to Pochetinno. I love the way he works with the team, I remember being in a session conducted by one of his coaching staff and he's really well organized in terms of attacking drills and so on that so many complain about Jose's staff just not being good at.

Am I crazy if i'm still behind him ?

Yeah :)

The only time it's now acceptable to be behind him is next to a cliff and then pushing him gently over is also allowed

[hjperdeath 2,226]

Am I crazy if i'm still behind him ?

Nah a lot of people are, which is a good sign too, nothing bad to be ashamed about.

Every Fan With His Opinion...

Chelsea consider caretaker role for Guus Hiddink, with Diego Simeone long-term target to replace Jose Mourinho. #CFC (Telegraph)

[empire of emotions 247]

i still want him to be our manager but just because theres no real manager who can replace him. i would rather watch us with mourinho than benitez or scolari

Have your beef with Chelsea TV.......they were the ones asking the questions

[hjperdeath 2,226]

Diego Simeone? We aren't changing the tactical aspect then, it's only the man-management, a slight plus.

Lol ? never believe these types of story

Check my post a few pages back, it's just the same article over and over again with

<<insert name of interim manager>>

Then

<<insert name of manager in Summer>>

It's like bullshit bingo - pick a name from the left pile and then the right pile and you have your story

[Rhino's Skin 972]

Why are all these links being out up naming different managers by different media sources? None of them know....most got the story about a meeting wrong and even the same newspapers are changing their minds every few hours.

Even the compensation package stories are guesswork ranging from 136k a week gardening leave to a 40m pay off.....yet again, no one knows.

Bet if we did a count up of everyone linked, there would be approaching 20 names by now...possibly more.
