I read somewhere that Jose has made £83m just from getting sacked! That's four years salary for Guardiola. I can't see Sir Jim thinking about hiring Jose and certainly not if he stayed at The Lowry or wherever it was.
Yeah well. He won a newly created third-tier cup to mark his descent to third-tier managership.I am so in love with the fact that spurs is the only club Jose didn't win a trophy at, being no fault of his own too. Levy is such a bellend. Jose doesn't lose finals. Hardcore Spursiness.
Oh please, not this again.Roma more ambitious than us, sacking a severely underperforming manager.
He lost the last final he played and even waited in the parking lot to insult the refereeI am so in love with the fact that spurs is the only club Jose didn't win a trophy at, being no fault of his own too. Levy is such a bellend. Jose doesn't lose finals. Hardcore Spursiness.
EnglandI think Jose is done with club football. I would love to see Jose add to his legend by managing a national side where his tactics and approach would probably flourish.
Negative tactics don't necessarily transpire to successful international management. Argentina and Italy have won most recent major tournaments playing front-foot football against much more negative sides which were also stronger quality-wise.I think Jose is done with club football.

Until someone wins it with defensive footballNegative tactics don't necessarily transpire to successful international management. Argentina and Italy have won most recent major tournaments playing front-foot football against much more negative sides which were also stronger quality-wise.
Until someone wins it with defensive football after it fails 10 times, then we say "Yay!! defensive football wins NT tournaments"Until someone wins it with defensive football

Hear ya point mate, but I bet Pep gets 83mln a year from those owners.... off books of corse....I read somewhere that Jose has made £83m just from getting sacked!

Good for us then?Really hope he doesn’t get the Newcastle job. I’ve seen Newcastle play a few times, even when they lose their players have a team spirit and work ethic that I can see Jose killing. I know he’s know for teams that work hard and are very loyal to him, but this Newcastle team has so many skilful players who put a shift in but are still allowed to express themselves. He’ll basically do to them what he did to Shaw.
Yeah it sounds greatGood for us then?
Yeah, think this gets overlooked often as we'll always talk about his achievements with Porto, Chelsea, Inter etc. His Leiria episode was a big success as well. Wonder how would his Benfica stint had gone if the board/president decided to keep him back in December 2000. His last game before getting sacked was a 3-0 win over rivals Sporting. We'll never know but perhaps he'd have led Benfica to big things like he did with Porto.His record from 2001-2012 was insane, and was easily enough for him to be considered as one of the greatest managers ever. I did think that his gradually declined as a manager (though his standard for nearly 12 years before that was ridiculous) from his third and finals season at Real onwards, though since then still won trophies during his second spell at Chelsea, Man Utd and Roma.
I've said a few times before, that is work at Leiria with barely a cent to spend, leading them to their highest ever league finish at the time in 2001, and then 3rd place midway through 2001/2002 (ahead of Porto who came calling for him plus Benfica), shouldn't be overlooked. And even before we get to Porto's Champions League winning campaign, clearly their 2002/2003 season with 3 trophies including a UEFA Cup win, was stellar. Porto's value of player sales during Mourinho's time in charge, exceeded their value of purchase players (I'm not using the word profit as a I assumed that a decent chunk of transfer fees on player sales went to third parties). And at the time of the 2003 UEFA Cup final, his Porto team was built on half the budget compared to Martin O'Neil's Celtic team.
The fact that most Roma fans seem to adore him, and the Stadio Olimpico was routinely sold out (which very rarely happened before he took charge) was notable.
Clearly over the last few years though, it has become less and less worth putting up with all the controversy that comes with him. And as other people have said, his management man skills have decline, and he hasn't been able (or willing) to adapt to the extend that Fergie and Ancelotti did.
I didn’t even know that he’d managed Benfica, that’s interesting.Yeah, think this gets overlooked often as we'll always talk about his achievements with Porto, Chelsea, Inter etc. His Leiria episode was a big success as well.

You are right what you say, but Morocco got a lot of plaudits at last world cup playing a counter attacking game.Negative tactics don't necessarily transpire to successful international management. Argentina and Italy have won most recent major tournaments playing front-foot football against much more negative sides which were also stronger quality-wise.
Yeah, only for about 3 months though. It was his very first managerial job after being assistant manager at few clubs through the 90s.I didn’t even know that he’d managed Benfica, that’s interesting.
Remember their form being pretty dire before they sacked him. Doubt he wins that final and the players were absolutely done with him.I am so in love with the fact that spurs is the only club Jose didn't win a trophy at, being no fault of his own too. Levy is such a bellend. Jose doesn't lose finals. Hardcore Spursiness.
Negative tactics usually work better in knockout games. Hence the reason he’s won a few European trophy’s.Negative tactics don't necessarily transpire to successful international management.

I still fail to acknowledge we’re crap. So while you’re right. I still have it my head that the better our rivals the better we will become. Maybe because of how I remember us reacting to Wenger’s Arsenal and then Chelsea during the Roman eraGood for us then?

Yes.In fairness he was acting that way because players like Pogba and Martial's sales were being blocked by the club. Would you honestly blame him looking back?
He has an excuse at almost every club.In fairness he was acting that way because players like Pogba and Martial's sales were being blocked by the club. Would you honestly blame him looking back?
Surely the absolute last thing this exciting Portugal side want is Mourinho taking over?Should take time out, see if the Portugal job comes up post-Euros and then take that. Retire after.
Probably but I think his time is up at club level but his methods might just be able to be still good enough to win an international tournament.Surely the absolute last thing this exciting Portugal side want is Mourinho taking over?
Nearly all managers change clubs every few years and all spells will have negatives if you look for them yet only Mourinho is being looked at with such vitriol.He has an excuse at almost every club.
Yes. Just because your bosses are being stupid doesn't mean you should turn into a toxic cloudIn fairness he was acting that way because players like Pogba and Martial's sales were being blocked by the club. Would you honestly blame him looking back?
