The Mourinho Thread

There's a time and place for everything and jose either doesn't give a fuck and he's constantly being an arsehole on purpose for attention or he just can't help himself. There was no reason whatsoever to make such a ridiculous and unprofessional statement in public when you know there are cameras and recording device and you are in an industry or position that demands certain level of professionalizm and less than savy comment and behaviour usually atttact bad press and unwanted attention (from the clubs prspective anyway). He's s great manager but his antics gets boring and lame after a while. Like be matured and professional for a change.

It wasn't in public and he didn't know he was being recorded. When you are sitting down with a reporter to give him an interview, it's perfectly normal to chat with him before the interview since the operators spend 15 to 20 minutes setting up the cameras/lights/microphones and the person that is going to be interviewed just has to sit there doing nothing the entire time. I know because I've personally seen how it works before. It was a mistake on his behalf but to say he did it on purpose to get attention is nothing short of ridiculous.

Anything that pushes Torres towards the exit, even a little bit, is fine by me.

I'd like to echo that ^

Anything that pushes all three out the door never mind Torres is welcomed from me. They all need to go in the summer!

Hervé Mathoux, the chief editor of Canal Football Club, said about Mourinho: "We're fully comfortable with [the] interview. We're surprised by Mourinho's comments claiming it was off the record. The camera was located 50 cms, maybe 1 meter away from him. It was a tight close up. Discussion was informal, but it was held in the middle of a large group of people inclduing our cameraman. So there is no way Mourinho could ignore [the fact that] he was being filmed." [@JohnSinnott]

The quality and angle of the video does indeed suggest the camera was close up as opposed to being hidden in the corner and so it does seems strange that Mourinho would say he didn't know he was being filmed.

Why they making such a big deal about him saying we have no strikers.

WE DON'T!!!!

Everyone knows we have the weakest strike force of the top four.

Etoo might as well be 40 he's so rubbish.

We all know about Torres and Ba clearly is so bad in Jose's eyes he doesn't get a chance to show how bad he is.

A lot of drama over nothing, but they should not have secretly taped him. That's low!!!

Fully comfortable? It's unlikely he will ever give them another interview after that.

All of it to get a few headlines.

The camera may have been set up correctly but it's clearly not part of the interview. People are moving around, cups are being clattered....if that's truly the environment that they conduct interviews in then they're at best unprofessional.

It's not part of the interview, it's off the record but it is 100% accurate.

Of course it's bad. The people here applauding mourinho for saying that are ridiculous.

Even though it might be true and we the fans say it, the manager will never bash his players like that.

He has never done it in the pass and will never do it.

It was an of the record conversation and the media screw him.

I think people are "cheering" for this cos they see this as a no loss situatuon. Our strikers have been averafe at best this season and this might be the exact thing that woyld give them some extra motivation to perform. Also people are not qorried about it affecting us long term cos none of these 3 are likely ro be here next season.

Sorry I don't buy that this is to motivate them.

You do that behinds door not in public.

That being stated it was off the record so mourinho had to act the way he did and put it as a light joke....

I dint say it was intentional from mou. Obviuosly no manager in the world in hia right mind would say that. It is simply about finding a semblance of poaitive from a very bad situation.

Just hope it doesn't derail our season. Such a stupid and daft thing to say.

First of all, its not mourinhos fault, he finished the interview and someone was filming while he was chatting with a friend.

Now that is out of the way, what positives can we get out of this news?

Maybe the strikers will try to prove him wrong? Or will they have that mentality you have and give up entirely?

They surely can't get any worse than 1 away goal in the whole 2013, so let's hope for the former.

Why would it, our strikers couldnt score before the interview. It can only get better.

Well the worst case scenario would probably be the STs not performing altogether, never mind not scoring the goals, if one wants to really worry about his comments.

Or it could have a positive reaction as well. Maybe they decide to up their game to prove Mourinho he is wrong.

It is really hard to predict what it is going to happen, but it doesnt necessarily mean it will reflect bad on the team.

Eto'o, Torres and Ba are grown men and pretending won't do them any good. I can't see how criticism could make them perform any worse (I hope I am right). Best of all is the reporters don't even realize ChelseaFC have players all they see is Jose and that's good. When they step out there hopefully they are a little more calm and focused because of it.

Yeah, just saw the video via twitter.

Unless the cameraman had the camera hidden inside something I don't think there's any way he didn't know he was being filmed.

He was saying the stuff in a joking way and was laughing, though. He certainly wouldn't have said that in any kind of official media presentation.
