haha - wow, what a conflict of opinion!
Agree completely.
Doesn't make him shite overnight....seems you don't rate him a top 5 manager of the world?250 people want a manager who just imploded his championship winning side, threw all his players under the bus to try and cover himself, is an arrogant egomaniac like our current boss and plays even shittier football.
What it makes him is a manager who took a title winning team and destroyed it with his enormous ego, he's went off the reservation and we don't need that here, we are struggling as it is, plus his style of football is boring.
And Ryan Giggs?
He destroyed it did he?
No, SAF managed the bad times with us with a lot more tact and guile than Mourinho, who chucked his team under the bus and patted himself on the back for last seasons title win. Every winner has an ego to a degree, Mourinho's is rampantly out of proportion.
Would you have not taken Klopp then if he was available?
He didn't wilt, the team struggled in the first half of the season and he banded together with the players and took responsibility, then they worked their way back into a Europa Leagues spot in the second half of the season.
Who knows what would have happened if Mou stayed for the rest of the season. Also why is it wrong to throw the players under the bus if they are not playing well??
He quite clearly lost the dressing room. He had lost their faith, trust and belief. So throwing the players under the bus in that situation is like having an ambulance at the bottom of the hill. The problem was Jose.
You can throw players under the bus if they act badly, if they are not playing well but act professionally you have to support them.
They were in the relegation zone (i.e. worse than where Chelsea are now) during the winter break.
This is the thing with Jose he knows what he's got, if he think he can beat a team he'll play, if he thinks his team are vulnerable he'll defend first, hardly a bad attribute.
We don't know which is the case.
The trouble is I dont know if he can adapt because he has been using the same principles and the same way of playing since he first started. If players didnt change their game to suit Mourinho then he sold them. It wasnt a case of Mourinho adapting to his squad but the other way round. One of the best examples of a very good player who couldnt adapt his game was Joe Cole. I mention this as just one example because Mourinho doesnt change to suit his players, he changes players to suit him.
Re football - but Fergie did that on countless occasssions
He'd most likely just sell the players who don't fit in for him - like with Mata, De Bruyne, Lukaku
Because it's not good man management, you don't go out publicly, accept zero blame and then throw the people who you want to play well for you under the bus. The moment the problems started at Chelsea his true colours shone through, he couldn't handle everything not going his way.
I know, and Klopp kept his team together and got them to the top 6, Mourinho set a match to his..
Post Ronaldo/Tevez we were regularly horrible to watch, no argument there, but we still played to kill games off with goals rather than DM's.
Jose can feck off, 69% of us dont want him, the Mob rules!
I don't think he would, because most of our young players can potentially play his style but they need to learn it:
