The Mourinho Thread

[zolayes 14,489]

Chelsea's hierarchy are confident manager Jose Mourinho can turn around their poor season, according to Michael Emenalo, one of Roman Abramovich's closest aides and Blues technical director.(Telegraph)

He would say that wouldnt he .. Let's judge by results

[Adnane 1,101]

No actually it has never been said for previous managers, so yeah, he wouldn't just say it.

In the meantime, people need to read between the lies, there are far more interesting insights in his interview than the stuff regarding Mourinho's future, especially the latter's communication and drama, it's really worth a read.

[Adnane 1,101]

He looks way more calm at the moment, positive signs, it looks like this break really helped him relax and re-focus.

Edit : I absolutely love his speech, really really positive, smilling and happy right from the start, doesn't talk about the past, when asked about not being able to coach against Stoke "It's over", and moves on.

States that this difficult period is an experience, with a smile, says that all the players, staff, and club are confident and eager to make the most out of the next 4 months ( as there is no international break until March ), talking about enjoying the competitions, getting results, playing with joy at home, making the supporters happy.

It has been a while, welcome back José.

Lets hope we are smiling like that come 4:45pm tomorrow. About time we had a fucking real good showing from this lot, time to start moving on, and quickly.

Half decent presser from Mourinho there. Seemed relaxed and ready.

They spent far too long asking about Paris though.

Which brings me onto another point......playing La Marseillaise just before kick off.....not my cup of tea. Going a bit overboard with all the respect stuff now. The FA and Wembley got it right and that was enough.

p.s. for those that complain they can never get tickets....there were nearly 200 of them in the exchange this past week

Jose says he will not ask the board for any changes to his squad in January. He is confident we will still finish in the top four. #CFC

[Special Juan 28,133]

More confident than me. We won't finish top 4, far too many dropped points and I still cannot see us putting enough of a run together to even threaten.

Prove me wrong Chels.

Hello TalkChelsea, I'm Mana the weatherman and I'll be providing the weather at Stamford Bridge!

Today all day it's partly cloudy with uncertainty. Tomorrow before noon there will be some sunny spells of hope. Later that evening around 4:50pm, dark clouds will approach the Bridge with heavy rain and thunderstorms.

Have a lovely day folks.

we might end up with a relegation volcano

No changes from Jose...lol. This season will be shite, I can't wait until this nightmare of a season just ends.

[the wes 7,212]

i cant understand mourinho and the board we need new players in the squad big time but they will continue on buying players and loan them out to other clubs

[Milan 17,955]

Will people ever, ever learn? Never trust Mou when it comes to transfer markets. He is like a woman - saying A, thinking B, doing C.

[ZanSnake 1,211]

Might be a typical move to not undermine dressing room or let media play up. Nice to see some positivity from Jose. Hopefully first step in the right direction.

[Laylabelle 9,534]

Lets hope we are smiling like that come 4:45pm tomorrow. About time we had a fucking real good showing from this lot, time to start moving on, and quickly.

And not be a one off...had enough of 'oooo we're going to go on a run now' then next game..'oh look we've lost again'..then again...and again.A win a month is dire...

Top 4?!We aint even got out the bottom half yet..hopefully this is the lying Jose moment.....
