José Mourinho

[r0cafella]

Wasn't defending Mourinho btw just didn't think it was a reason to criticize him.

 

He deserves the sack imo. All that money spent and nothing to show for it.

[TRon]

He’s left them a better team than the one he inherited. I don’t particularly like the guy but he’s still a better manager than most.

 

Left behind by the likes of Klopp, Guardiola and Pinocchio in recent years with their far more positive football.

 

Squeaky bum time now. Rafa has to be in consideration for their managers job at end of season...

 

That opening statement is very much open to debate.

 

Well Moyes side finished 7th.

 

Van Gaal 4th and then 4th

 

Mourinho 6th and then 2nd

 

I’m not sure in what universe finishing 2nd can’t be seen as an improvement?

 

And now comfortably outside the Champions League, having spent more than anyone, getting paid more than anyone, ruining squad morale, and falling out with everyone. That universe, the one where the others listed didn't do that.

 

Pep's spent more tbf.

 

Mourinho would never have bought some of the players Pep has though. Even this week he was whinging about his players lack of physicality. I'm not one of those that hates him either, I think he makes the Premier more interesting, but his time is up at the very top. Best bet for him would be a club just below that tier, he'd be good for a team like Everton maybe.

 

Or played them correctly, the likes of Sane, Sterling would have floundered under Mourinho. Hell there's no way in hell Mourinho would have played Silva and De Bruyne in a midfield 3, he would have stuck at least one of them on the wing covering the fullback.

 

Not really a Pep thing either, he's failed to do anything that Emery, Klopp or Pochettino have done I.E. actually improve the players you have.

 

Didn't he get rid of De Bruyne during his time at Chelsea? Not sure about it, but yeah, he doesn't really trust the flair players does he?

 

 

[Ketsbaia]

Surprised they did it now, although it's been inevitable for a while. Mourinho is a fossil, overtaken by several managers in this league alone.

 

Wonder if we'll ever see him in England again.

And Salah. He expects wingers and attacking midfielders to score or assist in every single game or he drops them until their replacement doesn't score in a game and they're back in

[Ashley17]

He's been an utter dick yet always so very respectful about us and Bobby in particular. For that reason I find it hard to hate him.

[Guest chopey]

So is Carrick the caretaker until the new caretaker arrives at the weekend ?

Aye, seems to be suggesting so on yellow ticker.

This.

[Shays Given Tim Flowers]

He's the football equivalent of Wolf from Gladiators. I would imagine a lot of his behaviour is put on but the physio business was pretty shitty.

No wonder Chelsea fans fell out of love with him. Imagine flogging off two of the very best players in England to your rivals? Dear me.

[r0cafella]

Again not defending him but both De Bruyne and Salah werent playing at the level they currently are when sold and neither were sold to English club's.

[AsprillasShinPad]

Shame he's gone - he was definitely holding Man U back.  They might actually start playing football just in time to thrash us.

 

I think that's him done in England now.  He's completely charmless and toxic, and his coaching methods are prehistoric compared to the new breed of managers.

 

Portugal job for him maybe?

[huss9]

is he pals with kenyon?

 

[AsprillasShinPad]

is he pals with kenyon?

 

I hope not. I'd be gutted if Rafa got replaced by that twat.  Rafa is the classiest manager we've had by miles since Robson.  Mourinho has Pardewesque levels of classlessness.

Rafa and Jose both boring as fuck managers. Rafa is though working with utter dross in comparison.

[jdckelly]

honestly surprised they did it now. Mourinhio I think really needs a break from football, he's more or less been in a job since Inter and the experience at the insane asylum that is Real seemed to break something in him he's not been the same since. A season away might do him the world of good

[TRon]

Again not defending him but both De Bruyne and Salah werent playing at the level they currently are when sold and neither were sold to English club's.

 

I have a feeling you will see a lot of the current Man U squad suddenly start to look a lot better now he's gone. Mourinho's style of football is death for players of flair, he just doesn't give them enough licence to do their stuff. Not that Man U have a bunch of world beaters in their squad, but they are a lot better than they have shown under his tenure. He is complaining about the quality of his defenders, and while they aren't great, if he didn't make them sit back so much, they wouldn't have to do so much defending.

[madras]

He's been an utter dick yet always so very respectful about us and Bobby in particular. For that reason I find it hard to hate him.

True enough.

[Deuce]

He’s an asshole but I still can’t help but admire the guy. One of the greatest managers ever.

 

Hope he takes some time off, finds a bit of humility, and comes roaring back with some less-heralded European club.

[Guest firetotheworks]

I hope not. I'd be gutted if Rafa got replaced by that t***.  Rafa is the classiest manager we've had by miles since Robson.  Mourinho has Pardewesque levels of classlessness.

You're the most boring cunt on the planet.

[Shays Given Tim Flowers]

 

God bless you, KI.

[TRon]

One of my biggest regrets will probably be never getting to see a Newcastle team under Rafa where he was allowed to spend decent money. I'd take that sort of boring every day of the week.
