José Mourinho

[EthiGeordie]

I know he respect and owe a great deal of his career to him. Considering this with a good owner it will be great one day if he train us.

[The College Dropout]

Muntari's a decent player when motivated.

[Village Idiot]

He takes as much pressure off the players as possible.

 

He did exactly the opposite at Real Madrid, particularly in his last year there. Always deflecting blame.

Did a lot to change my opinion of him tbh.

True,I think he had already lost interest and gave up by then.He knew either Chelsea or Man Utd would be his next destination.

The situation at Real probably wasn't the ideal setting for him. Jose's hands were a little tied with their "galactico" recruiting policy, and the pressures to play certain players.

 

It's the exact same reason he fell out with Roman during his first Chelsea spell (if we believe rumors). I think the only draw he had to Real Madrid was the prospect of getting one over on Barcelona.

Exactly. Wait till stuff doesn't go his way, it'll all be 'players who betrayed me etc' like last time he left Chelsea.

I don't remember him saying much negative about Chelsea when he left. I thought both parties parted with dignified silence so much so that it was left to the journalists to speculate who betrayed who. One common trait about Mourinho's management of players is that they will go the extra level for him. Quite a few of his ex players from the likes of Carvalho, Drogba, Lampard, Sneijder, Materrazi, has testified he was the best manager they've played under.

One of the reasons Jose went to Madrid was because he had final say on all transfers.

Ummm, no.

 

Chelsea 1.0 was all Jose vs Roman and his cronies.

In the end he left because of a bust-up with Terry, no? There where rumours  he had began losing the dressing room.

 

Obviously, it was just a short term issue and not fatal.

[Tooj]

Can't remember hearing anything about a bust-up with Terry. Thought it was that Abramovich was meddling with first team affairs.

[The College Dropout]

"I thought Mourinho was practically untouchable, but a lot of players had complained about him, notably John Terry," Makelele wrote.

Certainly a strong rumour and Makelele has little reason to lie.

[The College Dropout]

Certainly Abramovich was looking to get him the boot but it wasn't as simple as Mourinho vs. Abramovich and co.

[Village Idiot]

I'm not familiar with his exit at Chelsea, but Mourinho consistently threw his players under the bus during his last year at Real Madrid.

Oh yeah, Jose battling that cunt who give him hundreds of millions to build a dream team.

You could understand to a point when it was Casillas and Ramos... but you knew he had lost it completely when he started doing it to Pepe and when Cronaldo refused to align himself with Jose.

May have had something to do with appointing Avram Grant (lol) and Frank Arnesen (at least that kind of made sense if they could've worked together) over his head and spunking 30 million on Shevchenko when he wanted Eto'o.

 

And Madrid's just a clusterfuck no matter who's there, rumors are popping up already that they are ready to rumble Ancelotti if he doesn't win the La Liga or the Champions League.  Whole situation was weird, Ronaldo has said he'd work with him again and despite being the cause of it all, Ancelotti still has Lopez as his number one over Iker.

He did have a fall out with the Chelsea players according to Makelele.

 

He was being an idiot in Spain and they didn't like it. That's the cause of his issues there. The media here love him and feed into his BS. They don't think he's a genius in Spain and they don't find his antics charming or funny. That's why when he came back he was talking about being loved and being happy.

 

Mourinho loves to create an us vs. them mentality but it didn't work at Madrid. Half his players have won multiple trophies with the Barca guys and they all felt the rivalry and gotten over the top and personal/vindictive e.g. sticking his finger in Vilanova's eye.

 

By the end of his reign his was talking nonsense on a weekly basis.

[Pandamninator]

Definitely wasn't the right fit for him, probably something he figured out early on.  He had the same problem with the Italian media but had the right club and squad to use it to his advantage.

 

Should've gone after they won the league, probably would've quit that year to head back to Chelsea if they hadn't shat the bed against Bayern in that semi final shoot-out.

Yep, I don't think he suits institution type clubs very well. He works better for a Chelsea rather than a Man Utd for example. A club where he can almost be bigger than the badge.

I don't think that's right to be fair. The Spanish football press are worse than our red-tops, it's all gossip and sensationalism to sell their daily sports editions. As each sports daily has it's favourite (Barca or madrid) the objectivity goes straight out the window.

Because of the above, it was generally accepted that Mourinho had cottoned on quite quickly that press conferences were laughable and he treated them with quite a bit of contempt, this was part of the reason why there was a real dislike of him, virtually all of the press, including the pro-Madrid turned against him.

As for Ramos and Casillas, Ramos is the equivalent of our own Steven Taylor except that he plays for Madrid and he is a decent footballer, this guy has pigshiit for brains ...honest! casillas... there has to be something Mourinho saw that he was doing wrong or diego was doing right as Ancelloti has followed the same template...

[Parky]

He couldn't deliver the free flowing attacking football Roman craves.

What does any of that have to do with the fact they plain old didn't entertain his twaddle? He talks crap and they didn't indulge him. They saw his attacks on Barcelona as an attack on Spain. They can talk their own crap. Same thing happened in Italy, the media didn't like him.

 

He fell out with half the squad, not just Ramos and Casillas. Like I said, they simply didn't buy into the "us vs them" mentality. He fell out with the Portuguese/Brazilian contingent too. Pepe, Marcelo etc. he builds a storm and it's difficult to contain.
