Jose Mourinho thread

Talking about you? And why I would care about that? Top Kek mate. Can't even recall the last time we even had an argument. Honestly mate, I couldn't give a toss about you (no offence).

Yeah you just responded to a guy talking about me, what a weird leap for me to make.

If new posters can't handle people questioning their opinions then they should start a blog.

Lol mate. Deny it all you want, you know new posters get shi*ted on.

There's a lot of good posts in this thread. And then there's a couple where there isn't any "questioning of opinions" - instead just a load of derogatory remarks about beans and idiots, which I find rather sad and totally un-necessary.

I disagree. Football is about debate and argument. If we were all in agreement it wouldn't be pants.

Debates fine but there seems to be personal insults been thrown around aswell. Also people getting really wound up about someone else having a different opinion. I think there's a ton of tension on here these days and I think it's ruining the place.

    The only people who ever commented on it as far as I can recall were Fergie and Jose, and the Spanish journalist already mentioned.

     

    You could easily make a case for Fergie covering his arse to downplay his part in the Moyes fiasco, and Jose saving face ...

     

     

    Nobody really knows what goes on ... including you and your pal Stim !

    Anyone who truly believes Jose Mourinho burst out crying when told he wasn't getting the Utd job, which was then overheard on a telephone by a journalist is an idiot.

    Absolutely!

     

    However under-pinning it should be respect for fellow posters.

     

    Hopefully the next manager appointment will be someone who promotes unity among the ranks ... a second term for Benitez perhaps  :smile: 

    It's bullsh*t that new posters are treated differently it's how some of the new posters conduct themselves that's the problem. It's also hard to figure out whose genuine especially as the influx happened during our worst moments in the Roman era. Respect is a two way street and it has to be earned.

    Taken from the Guardian article which was very interesting..

    "In the eight seasons after taking the Porto job, Mourinho won six league titles and two Champions Leagues. Since going to Madrid in 2010 he has won just two league titles. Very few managers thrive at the very top for more than a decade: it is an emotionally and psychologically gruelling profession and football is always changing; the process of perpetual evolution is draining. It may be that Mourinho’s best is past."

    Interesting stats there. Could it be true?

    Jose is just 52 years old, he has a long career in front of him, he can/will even improve after this bad spell.

    The thing with him is, he should realize he is no super man. He's had no rest since taking over Madrid and then Chelsea for 5,5 years. And these jobs are the worlds most stressful jobs as the expectations are sky high and you can be sacked any day, even as a Chelsea legend.

    He should rest now like what he did after he left us in 2007. Take some time for his ill father and family. Recover and re-analyze the things he could've done differently and improve. After that rest period in 2007-2008 he came back better than before and won the treble with Inter

    The danger with highly successful people is the pressure they put on themselves after failure, he could be desperate to prove he's still the best and that could work against him.

    So if he takes a job right now, I am afraid he will continue the downward line because of a bad mindset. But if he rest properly and takes a job in the summer - we should prepare to see the best Jose ever.

    But Jose is Jose, maybe he doesn't need 6 months. Maybe a few weeks are already enough for him to clear his mind, to recover and to improve.

    Last season he guided us to the title. His first season was always going to be difficult given how poor we were before he came in. He was up against a mighty Barca side when he was in Madrid. Sometimes statistics dont tell the whole story.
