Nah, Mourinho chafes at having his decisions second guessed and monitored. He works best with an owner he has a good relationship with who let him do as he pleases (Moratti).
Someone had a similar phrase about LvG.
I doubt he'd throw it in the face of the Chelsea fans. His issue is with some of the Chelsea players. They gave up on him for one reason or another.
Oh yeah, think I've got a copy of those guys' full album somewhere... "Unite People" or something.
I'd imagine that it's a mix of us hoping something better/less controversial comes along, us being conserative in an attempt to secure CL football this season, Mourinho having a financial incentive to stay out of work until the summer and wanting to be seen to manage LVG's transition out of the club well.
totally disagree
Ugh. Here we go again. Jose's term at RM was a shitshow. No matter how you want to spin it, the facts are there. Pep got the better of him majority of the time. I saw those games live and it was painful to watch them as a RM fan. His spell ended with him crashing and burning his relationship with pretty much all the players. He was the treble winner with Inter before taking up the RM post.
Same story for De Brunye too. Besides, Lukaku plays for the 10th best team in the league or something.
Hazard played his best football under Mourinho.
2 young players who were never given the chance, and then proved the manager wrong.
Mourinho won the title and Guardiola decided to leave...not sure how that means Jose got destroyed.
I'm sure he has been insulted with far worse by the United crowd in the past.
I think they betrayed him. This type of shit happens in football. You hurt a ring leader and he turns half the squad against you and suddenly you cant win shit. Many great managers lost their job that way
Aren't those his only goals in 22 appearances? Since when that was supposed to be excellent, especially if we are talking for a player who could have solved problems for a top club.
Jesus! The amount of spin you are trying to put on this issue
It's a known fact that he barely gives academy players a chance. It's ok to accept that even if you want Jose as our manager. It's ok, really it is.Yeah it seemed that way. Hazard, Costa, Fabregas and Terry looked like the main culprits. It happens at Chelsea quite often with the player power becoming too much to handle for some managers.
Was it obvious that Pique was going to be a top player when he was at United? Genuine question. For some reason, my memory of Pique wearing a United shirt is a total blur. Even seeing a picture of it looks weird.
I think Maureen is closer to SAF than any of our class of 92 and Moyes put together. First of all he is a sour loser and a proven winner. Secondly he is a charismatic figure who takes pressure all on himself. Finally he knows something about management
Maybe, but he's also human and it will be a very emotional match for him, borderline personal.
Which successful / high-profile manager of Chelsea / Liverpool / City / Arsenal hasn't?
But he's lost the grand total of zero against Van Gaal, with one of those being the rather meaningless game known as the Champions league final.
AS fecked as Inter?
er Gary if any please!
Which of the academy players he managed in Chelsea, Madrid or Inter was proven to be good? No-one at all. So, who cares that he didn't give chances to players who weren't good enough. He was there to win matches, not to turn donkeys into less donkeys.Jesus! The amount of spin you are trying to put on this issue
Seriously though, the last few years has made people romanticize everything to the point where they even think that our players over the fergie era just played great football and never resorted to dirty tactics and were angels or some shit. We've always had a bunch of cnuts play for us under Fergie, because Fergie knew they wouldn't take losing and would do everything necessary to turn things around and always go to win games.
Mate, I wonder if many of our fans even remember Keano or what the 1994 double winners were like.
The way some people talk about United you would think Fergie filled the club with choirboys.
The lads that took us back to the top in 1993 were a bunch of hard nuts. Each and every one of them was happy to play dirty to win. Sparky would happily flail an elbow when going up for a header. Incey was more than happy to go through on someone. As was the softly spoken Bryan Robson. Cantona, Keano...
All these posters fretting that Mourinho's going to make us 'nasty'. I hope he does. We need some grit and determination. At times, since Fergie left, even our most experience players have looked like little boys lost. A bit of fire in the belly might get us back to where we belong.
Don't worry cry your eyes out as the rest of us cheer our formiddable title winning teams.
And a "not completely happy, but happier than with LVG or some other alternatives" option.
You're daft if you think he'd do that to the Chelsea fans.
He's a centerback. Not supposed to be a goalscorer, was just mentioning the goals as an aside. They're fourth in the Bundesliga.
