The Mourinho Thread

Hypothetically, if Chelsea doesnt win, do you think Jose should be sacked?

Meaning only EPL title and Champs league (not CC, fa cup, etc).

If doesn't win anything, I'm afraid he could not survive another trophyless season. Only if we got FA Cup at least, I think he will stay.

NO. Stability is key, as long as it's more attractive football and we get good results he needs to stay. Unless something drastic happens, we need him.

[didierforever 7,349]

Fuck attractive football. What are we arsenal??? The priority HAS to be winning football not the attractive football. If we play attractive football, that's a bonus.

He is trying to keep the fan and the board happy but I prefer he should go for the kill sell Torres and bring in another top strong striker incase

[Barbara 15,149]

He should stay regardless. Stability is something that pays off in the long term, go ask Fergie... we should be patient and be aware that we aren't the only ones with a great team. There are other quality contenders in every tournament we play. We could win but so could them. We need to feel we're progressing, that's important, but I'd give him second, third, fourth chances to be honest. It's about time we try to be more stable so things will be much easier for us in the long term.

If the board continues to sack the manager every time we don't win a trophy, we're gonna run out of quality managers to employ in the future.

Judging by how positive the board has been acting in the last 1-2 years, you would think they have moved on from the days of pressing the panic button and swing the axe at the manager at the first sign of trouble. Don't think Mourinho will be sacked if we don't win any trophy as long as there is further improvement and progression in the squad.

Jose Mourinho: Why I've signed Diego Costa, Cesc Fabregas, Filipe Luis and Didier Drogba

Mourinho on Costa: “He’s a great addition for us. He is a fantastic player. “Technically he is very, very good. That’s why, lots of the players, they are so happy and so surprised, because his quality is even higher than what they expect. “He is so strong physically and he gives so much effort during matches. “When somebody sees him play, the first thing that gets into their eyes is exactly that, the capacity to work hard for the team, and to be so powerful and so strong physically."

“I see him [Fabregas] as somebody who thinks football faster than the majority of the player. “He is the kind of player we need in our midfield to bring us to a different dimension. “The ball possession, the speed of the circulation, the decisive pass. He has everything.

“[With Drogba] the killer instinct is there, the technique to score goals is still there.“He is still very strong physically. Mentally, exactly the same."

Jose On Luis: “Filipe Luis is experienced. Very stable, very reliable. He is a player who normally does not make mistakes.“He is left-footed and likes to attack. We need that also, especially against teams who close a lot. We need that kind of creativity.

“We went for stability with Diego, Cesc and Felipe."

How many times have people on this forum banged on about the things I've just highlighted? is Mourinho reading this forum?

In all seriousness, It's great he's coming out and speaking openly about his plans for the upcoming season, the youngsters and now our signings.

[The Skipper 20,609]

Really happy with the comments Jose has been making recently. We'll definitely see a return of the more expansive style of play we deployed in the earlier part of last season - this time however we'll be much better at it considering we finally have a fully balanced team. The additions of a top LB, top CF and a top CM were all vital and I'm glad Jose thought exactly the same thing. Definitely going to be a good year, Jose's confident because he has all the tools now.

It's funny because some were very certain Mourinho's team doesn't operate with a playmaker from a deeper position, nor an "attacking, creative left back" (as Jose describes him). We will definitely have the same underlying philosophy in our play (i.e. fast paced counter attacking football) but we will do so more expansively, and with the additions we've made it allows Jose to have even more weapons to tinker and change accordingly. 3 "clinical" signings as Jose likes to put it... It's going to be a very interesting year indeed.

[pHaRaOn 2,131]

Mourinho isn't stupid and he knew what kind of problems we had last season. But its rare to see him speak about it publicly, because press can (and will) twist his words, what can unsettle some players.

Going to be fun, can't wait any longer!

Don't know about you guys but I find the prospect of Matic, Fabregas, Hazard and Costa quite mouth-watering.

Mou talking about Lukaku, Cech and the non HG situation

[Special Juan 28,868]

By that interview and when asked about Cech his reply doesn't fill me with confidence at all. I think he will leave.

[stroey 2,525]

By that interview and when asked about Cech his reply doesn't fill me with confidence at all. I think he will leave.

Especially when he said "the market is open", he said the same before the departure of Mata.

Unless Cech wants to leave, I don't want to see another legend leave. [emoji17]
