And all the garbage players mou bought? This guy is a failure. Face it.
Maybe but you do realize these are his damn players? He had 3 years and a massive budget to fix it. If he was that good of a manager he should have seen it coming.
It's not even surprising. This is the guy who shat on Salah when he loaned him out saying he don't need him as there are 5 better players than him and it's better if he never returned, later in 2018 changed it into, he never sold Salah, just loaned him out (Roma had option to buy) and it was other manager who sold him.
Fans are just incredibly naive if they think Mourinho was right.
Good one mate.Well, the simple fact of the matter is that we got both manager and player recruitment wrong over the last 6 years. This isn't an either/or situation. So Mourinho being right doesn't mean he wasn't a bad fit either. It's a bit like Valencia calling Young a shit FB, hypothetically of course.
I think that some people are too busy defending his career legacy which isn't in danger. They should realize that managers have a shelf life and there are ups and downs in their careers too, Mourinho hasn't been at his best since his Inter time, from there he has been inconsistent and has mainly blamed everyone around him, so his words aren't worth much. Now, maybe he will do a Heynckes and revive his career but that's rare and only someone willing to put his past successes behind can manage the likes of Leverkusen and put himself back on the map, you also need friends in a top club.
Exactly. Would have loved if he was sacked before completing the Sevilla PC.
Yeah, agree with this. Jose's legacy is set, he has achieved so much at top level and won lot trophies. Also something that's not a point of discussion as it's not achieved at ManUtd. If we go by his time at Manutd, it's underwhelming.
Because we played shit football under him and he created a toxic Atmosphere. Winning the EL and League cup is no major feat. He was taking us backwards and imploding, while Klopp has shown clear progression while playing attractive football. Liverpool has more points this season than we ever had. I think any sane fan would swap Mourinho with Klopp in a heartbeart. I certainly never warmed up to Mourinho while he was here. He's the most egotistical and self-centered manager in the business. If he can't deliver big trophies he deliveres nothing.
Still won a La liga and PL title with Chelsea which is not bad. Can't say he's a failure whenever he fails to win a CL. Only at Madrid really.
I said that he wasn't at his best which isn't the same as being a failure. Also when you have one of the best player in football and spend as much as Madrid spend, his results werren't exactly good, the same could be said with Chelsea.
Its hilarious. He will focus on the signings that Klopp or Pep got wrong instead of the majority that they got right and believe that's the difference in fortunes. Why couldn't he see the potential in players he had like Salah or De Bruyne? Why wasn't he in the mix for players like VVD, Mane, Sane, Jesus who could all have been gettable but I doubt it was ever a profile of player he wanted or looked at.
The stick why he did not see potential in Salah and De Bruyne, is a bit redundant, as players playing in their position at the time they would not dislodge, and the fact is he still went on to win thiings, secondly at such a young age, what you need is games rather than sitting on the bench, just ask Shaquri and Mahrez how fun it is to sit on a bench and play the odd game, or read the forum about how Martial and Rashford having beiing performing for quite some time.
If only he had been allowed to replace Mkhitaryan.
Its has relevance when his proposed approach is to continue to move on/replace players who he deems not up to scratch rather than question if he was at fault for not getting enough out of the players (or if he signed the right players in the first place). The two managers he references have shown they can get world class performances from his cast offs.
Exactly it happens to every club but most managers don't hang their whole managerial performance at a club on a single issue (when there were clearly many other things that he did wrong).
I am sure over the course of his career he had his share of good and bad signings. From United's perspective certainly a lot of his players did not work out as well as hoped.
When he took over Porto, nobody would've fancied him to win everything with them.
Although Fergie still managed to win the title thanks to a typical Glazer/Woody knockdown price signing (rvp) he knew the writing was on the wall. (No value... if you see a cow in a field etc...) Even Fergie was far less effective with his hands tied behind his back. Still had the remnants, albeit remnants on the wane (Wayne?) of a previous title winning side, he miraculously managed to win another title. Ronaldo gone, Scholes and Giggs and more all but finished, he was reduced to signing Owen, Obertan, Valencia, Buttner etc as replacements. He also had his complete control taken away. Great managers need to be allowed to manage. They have the runs on the board when allowed to do so but as soon as you get twats like Glazers, Abramovich, Perez meddling.... what is the point in trusting a manager enough to employ him but then failing to back him? Please don’t tell be he bought Fred, Sanchez, Darmian, never mind (lvg) crocked Schwein on his pension top-up, Falcao, di Maria etc etc all players signed over the managers head. A lot of what Mourinho has said is coming to light (perspective on Oles initial winning run, players attitude, denied players he wanted to sign but given players that Woody, with all his football know-how, preferred and knew better) Nothing short of miraculous how he won trophies and came 2nd with this bunch of shithouse players and ceo/ownership. Hope I’m wrong, but it’ll be a long time before we enjoy another little run like that, even though none were elitist trophies.
I wouldn't be so sure about that. The big doors are closing.
That's a good point actually. Maybe Bayern München then?
No chance.
No way, could you imagine him playing mind games with their board? Rummenigge would probably fight him
And the team has no fitness to press because Mourinho was there 3 years and nothing to do with the lack of quality of the squad or the current management over this months didn’t had enough time to minimise that? And do you know how Mourinho worked at that level? For me the problem is lack of quality. Excuses or no excuses.
We pressed in first month and then many players had muscular injuries, that's when we were back to Jose football. ManUtd were in top 3 or 5 in distance covered under Van Gaal and 19th-20th under Jose. It's not coincidence.
And those stats were during the 3 years or only this season? Out of curiosity.
Last 2 season we were last or near last in running stats. Under Van Gaal we were 3rd or in top 5.
We will see then that magic next season.
Wait for City to get to a European final first, before calling a European trophy “a mickey mouse cup”.
I never said it isn’t but it’s frequently used as a excuse when teams don’t perform to use fitness. I mean there is much more on training than only fitness.
