I really don't find it funny..?

The Chelsea fans are actually pleasent by and large. If it were Liverpool I would be rolling on the floor with laughter. But this being Chelsea, I actually feel a little sad for them... They're better than this.

People forget we were in a very similar boat when Moyes took over. Did that feel particularly good?
feck that. Everyone loved it when we were struggling.

United fans do not know how it feels. You lost 12 games all season under Moyes, we have lost 7 already. It's not even close to being as bad for you in Moyes season.
But with Moyes we had no hope of things getting better and every expectation of it getting worse. Whereas with Chelsea you'd either expect Jose to turn it around or a new manager to come in and the players start trying again. I still believe you can finish fourth.

And we actually expected him to stay for the full 6 years, Chelsea have worse results, but we were in a worse predicament.

Would anyone still take Jose as our manager when LVG retires?

Nope, Pep or Giggs for me.
Would be mad to give it to Giggs is what my head is thinking but my heart mate I want Giggsy but it could be another Motes situation. Really torn with that one as it is Giggs. But Pep would be good but not sure he is better than Jose and we don't quite have the quality of Barca or Bayern to work with. And both are prone to behaving like spoilt kids.

Curious how many do you think you will lose all season?
I have no idea at this point. United, Pool, City are certs to lose the way we are playing. Then there are the teams that really turn it on against us. I suspect we will lose 17/18 this season as our form gets better. If we don't get better, in the 20's for sure and relegation it seems.

Imagine a top side losing 17 and above games a season? That is beyond tragic.

That's what happens when players have shit attitudes and give up. Always study a players mentality before signing them.

His Madrid team was attacking and good to watch most of the time, so on a footballing basis I could be interested. But he is the most insecure manager that I have seen, so Woodward would have to show him an unconditional support otherwise he is going to lose his mind and sabotage himself.

I see him as the Cantona of the managers.

Imo the only player that falls into that category is Fabregas. I think the others is a confidence thing. I think you guys will lose something like 13/14 games this season. Can't see 17 or numbers like that.

Hazard, Pedro, Costa, Matic (Possibly it seems), Oscar. Then there are over the hill players who have started to give up in Terry and Ivanovic.

Too many players who look disinterested.

If you are right, then Chelsea's problem is worse than we think. However, I think it's easy to confuse players low on confidence with those looking disinterested.

I hate Willian for winning them some points, I wanna see Chelsea have a proper full meltdown.

The problems are deep seated in this squad. We need a proper clear out IMO.

@ClosetDevil If you're actually not a Chelsea fan (which I highly doubt), research a bit about their history. Without a doubt the most hateful, bigoted lot in England and always have been.

Not to derail the thread but did you really expect him to stay for 6 years the way it was going?

I think this season has shown why Sir Bobby was right to (alledgedly) block to his appointment. I like Maureen, always have done, but he's not right for United. Fergie was often controversial but you sensed he was also aware of when it was going too far.

I disagree, I think that Mourinho really wants to be in a stable environment but for some reason he seems to believe that it's not the case at Chelsea. Something is happening in the background, they were rumours about it during the summer.

But looking at his career history would you not say he seems to create his own problems?

After being constantly told it was the United way from all quarters while results got worse, I did reach a point of resignation. Especially when he started getting seen around various European stadiums in scouting trips. I was pretty convinced then that he was getting another chance, and the club would back him and stick to the United way.

Yes, but only because he joined club notorious for their instability. Madrid and Chelsea in particular aren't places where you unpack your luggage.

It was so bad he had no chance of surviving

Looking back it was so bad he had no chance of surviving. Top 4 was gone and he had to leave.
It's quite incredible that Chelsea have been even worse.

Quite funny when its happening to someone else . As for the Moyes debacle,at the time even the media narrative was that he would be given more time and that the players were old and should be replaced.

Inter is hardly unstable though. And look at someone like Ancelotti, a victim of Madrid too, yet didn't get up to the same antics.
