December 26, 201510 yr "Choices were made by me. By me. Not by them." "Everyone says it is Mourinho's fault but it is not his fault because I made the decision. I went to his office to ask if I could go. He was the first one to say: ‘Good luck.' I signed the deal with Everton at 11 o'clock and the first text message I got on my old BlackBerry was from Mourinho saying: ‘Good luck, do your best and I will see you next season.' He was the first. Nobody knows that and that is why for me he gets immense respect." "It is really sad he has to go. He is a great character and a great man. Even though there were words said in the media, I never looked at it because I know what he did and not a lot of managers would do that." -Romelu Lukaku Posted this elsewhere, no more blaming Jose for selling him Here's the article on Lukaku's comments about Mourinho. http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2015/dec/25/romelu-lukaku-jose-mourinho-everton-chelsea
December 26, 201510 yr I thought I'd check a QPR forum to see how Jimmy Floyd is doing. God I hate those c**ts. He's been there 4 games and they are already insulting him and calling for him to be sacked. Never should have accepted a job working for that disgusting club.

To be fair, literally every person after the first post disagrees, most of them vehemently so.
December 27, 201510 yr Got sacked from the Reading job for flirting with Fulham over the managerial vacancy.That's pretty much what happened. Reading's form collapsed as soon as he held talks with Fulham. He lost the fans and lost the players as well by the looks of it. After he went I read in the local paper that he spoke to Fulham without the board's consent too. Was a dead man walking really. Edited December 27, 201510 yr by Huttsey
December 29, 201510 yr “We were two hours from getting Benítez and then Real came in. We had agreed a contract and everything,” Sullivan said. “He is a top manager whatever anybody says and I think he’d have done a wonderful job for us. We tried [Jürgen] Klopp as well but he wouldn’t come because he said he wanted a break. But I’m glad with the manager we have got.” I assume Rafa counts as an ex unfortunately. Apparently almost became WHU manager

January 22, 201610 yr Fernando Torres has an offer to become the highest-paid player in world football, his agent José Antonio Martín has said. The striker is currently on loan at Atlético Madrid from Milan until the end of the season and Martín has called on the Atlético coach, Diego Simeone, to make his position on Torres clear. “Fernando and Simeone should sit down and talk about it,” he told the Sun. “The fans of Madrid don’t want Torres to be told no continually. He has an offer that would make him the best-paid in the world. There are nuances. It all depends upon the will of the club.” Surely this cannot be true.

January 28, 201610 yr Ashley Cole is now going to be playing in LA with 'Slippy' Gerrard When AS Roma published their 2014/15 end of season report, the coaching staff heaped great praise on Ash's dedication to training by citing his body fat (0.6%) as the best in the entire squad – a true pro.
