Jose Mourinho thread

Not even sure why we called him judas. We did sack him after all so it's not like he left on his own.

Yep. That's what I don't get. I don't get the logic.

All those things you list are the kind of things many chelsea fans loved when he was doing it as our manager to someone else...e.g. Wenger...we look like hypocrites if we get upset about it now...I just laughed...seen it so many times before...difference is it was coming from the away dug out rather than the home one

Fair point, I don't think I would have joined in with the chants myself, but I wasn't there and in the heat of the moment, in a feisty game, I can completely understand the fans reacting like that and it's Jose's fault. I'm not going to bash a section of our fans for getting wound up in a passionate cup match. I know Jose is just being Jose, but the fact that he's antagonising us, is bound to cause some backlash. Hypocritical or not, you back your manager, we backed him even when we knew he was a prat, difference is now we no longer have to make excuses for him and laugh off his behaviour. 

I believe the vast majority of Chelsea fans respect or at least mutual towards Jose, only the minority chanted f* Jose or Judas. Having said that, Jose has been playing Heel all season towards Chelsea, and getting the attentions he's after. Every second interview he had, Chelsea being defensive is one of the must have item. It's not mind game, you play mind game with your next opponent or the team going after the same prize. We are chasing the title and United is after the 4th spot, whether we fall apart has no impact on them, and vice versa. There's also the small matter of setting his team out to hurt our best player, his own best player only 18 months ago.

For me, he's just being his usual grumpy self, grab the headline and distract the media from the real problems he had.

Article is spot on about Jose. 

"f**k off Jose" and "Judas"(don't think anyone really said that but hey!) were probably a bit too far but actually having a go at Jose was fully justified. We gave him a warm welcome when he came around in October. But since then he has gone out of his way to slag off our new manager, our team, our style of play and even us fans who f**king stood by him all the way and turned on the players last season because of him. We f**king chanted his name at the top of our voices when he had us 17th. Respect is reciprocal. If he shuts up from this point forward, he might just start to gain that goodwill back.

Favorite part of the article for me:

Quote

Earning the adoration of a group of fans is not easy and Mourinho is destroying his relationship with Chelsea without any guarantees that United fans will ever feel the same about him. He even introduced the word 'Judas', a strange term to use as he was sacked by Chelsea rather than him betraying them.

Not every great manager is universally loved, but most have a place to go after retirement where they are worshipped forever; Bill Shankly and Liverpool, Ferguson at United, Wenger will always be loved at Arsenal even if separation becomes messy. Mourinho is facing a lonely retirement if he keeps this up.

Superb article and all very very true.

No one can touch Jose, he is our number one, until another mangager beats his record, completely agree with Ray on that point. But, respect does work both ways, a few of our fans show him direspect, it's wrong and a lack of class, but hang on a minute, don't we deserve a bit of respect? The fans were chanting his name last season and the man was nearly in tears, all forgotten, but now he can say what he likes about us, because he won everything with us, so we should like it or lump it, I don't buy that. It's easy for people like Ray, in a comfy little studio to pass judgment on fans who might be a little upset.

He doesn't expect this tho. He expects to not be told to f**k off and that he is a judas. That's a bit different 

No one called him a judas, as far as I'm aware, he called himself that in the press conference. As others have said, he's the master manipulator, are we sure that Jose wants Chelsea fans to love and respect him? He knows exactly what he's doing, kick up a fuss on Monday night, it takes the attention off of his players, it makes us look like the bad guys, the media and the rival fans buy it, he deepens the siege mentality with his team. He's been taking jabs at us all season, he doesn't want our love and admiration, quite the opposite, he won't care what Chelsea fans chant at him, he probably loves it.

"Recent criticism of Paul Pogba is motivated by "envy", and those targeting the midfielder do so because they "need every coin to survive", says Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho."

He must be on a wind up surely? i can understand him wanting to protect his player but what a load of bull sh*te !!

The part where he talked about money, it's more like a promo from Conor McGregor to sell his PPV, than a manager talk up his players. Behind the scene, he's probably screaming his head off to Pogba.

Think players like Lamps and Shearer aren't exactly begging for money. Especially Lamps who was earning over 100k/week while Pogba was still trying to get a pro contract. Someone needs to tell Jose.

I'm sure he's just defending his player in public. All managers do it.

Of course. It is what you would expect from your Manager but there is a way of doing it.

Some of his comments are coming across as quite bizarre  - bordering on the insane!!

Well this is Mourinho we're talking about. Bizzare and insane is what he does best. 

Another great article on the subject:

http://www.espn.co.uk/football/club/chelsea/363/blog/post/3082077/why-chelsea-fans-have-turned-on-jose-mourinho-as-legacy-turns-sour

"In the fullness of time, maybe when Mourinho has departed England, perhaps Chelsea supporters will unify to reminisce fondly about their love for the "Special One" and the silverware-lined glory of his madness. Right now though, it's all about Conte -- a new passion, a new true love. And true love conquers all: including Mourinho and Manchester United."
