The Mourinho Thread

Done deal!

One of us has to donate 100 bucks at the end of the season or when it's mathematically impossible!

I will call you out!

I won't back down easily, whether you speak about tits or balls, doesn't matter.

Pounds not Dollars

Settle on Euros!!!

Come the end of the season it's likely that's the only European action we will see

Not a problem, with you it's pounds.

BRING IT ON.

If we are seeing Euro action in May i will be surprised

Yes but people like you and me that think this are a minority - see the poll above.

Something serious has happened to Jose - I don't know whether it's his Dad being ill or something at home - or maybe his daughter walking around with her tits hanging out - but there's something completely wrong with him.

He used to be an absolute genius at identifying and exploiting opposition teams - he would set his team up perfectly and yes sometimes it wasn't pretty - but it was 100% effective - I almost felt like we would never lose with Jose in charge

Now I feel the exact opposite in just a few months. It's crazy - but he just has to go - completely lost it

People like you two are totally reactionary.

José's history suggests he's worth keeping. Perhaps he is having a rough spell personally with his father or whatever? All the more reason to stick by him until he comes through it.

You don't just lose it over a summer.

Some of our football under him last season wasn't great to watch but you always felt confident we'd come through.

Coaches of Mourinho's calibre aren't easy to come by and should be afforded the odd bad season. You can't be successful all of the time. To sack the man who won you a double last season, a man who has won 3 of your 4 league titles is nothing short of short sighted. And if he goes this time, he's probably not coming back.

Everybody needs to be patient, take the rough with the smooth, and suck up the bad results.

I would call Muzchap PROACTIVE ,, which is what I would like in my Manager . Jose was that once but no longer

I think we need to keep him..get over this rut rather than taking the easy way out that may not even help the situation. Need to get over this short term fix mentality.

Do not make that mistake with Ancelotti Chelsea. Just do not!

How long do you give him then?

It's been getting worse since Jan and his erratic behaviour and crazy team selections - do not inspire confidence. It's like he's had a frontal lobotomy...

If Ancelotti comes here, right now, with the team like this, we are fucked.

What's proactive about bining every coach you ever have at the first sign of a dip?

Imagine if United sacked Fergie in 05 cause he didn't win anything and came third 20 odd points off the top.

At very least to the end of the season. It's the least he deserves.

Find some interim manager to finish top 4 and go all in on Pep in the summer. Time to try something new.

Next two games are likely to be last Mourinho's game at Stamford Bridge. He is set to get a 5 match ban, and with the results unlike to improve, he might not survive untill next home european game, against Porto 9/12.

Actually next 3 games are going to be crucial. After Stoke game there is a 14 days brake, and there will be enough room to find a quick fix after his departure.

I don't remember seeing UTD in 15th? And I do remember a lot more success from Fergie prior to that

The problem I have is that Jose appears so outdated - like football has moved on and he's stood still saying 'this used to work'

Then his arrogance to blame everything except himself - how does that work

I honestly believe he doesn't give a fuck about anything except himself and those of you that believe he is Chelsea through and through have been sold a lie

You're kidding yourself if you think an interim manager is going to help anymore than Jose to get us there..be realistic, c'mon
