José Mourinho

[barcanuck]

What a piss-poor decision to let a 20year old take the last and decisive penalty. It was his first big match (and shoot-out). He will be broken by the result and nobody will be able to calm him down for a long time. Way to ruin a talent.
And let Mata play or let him go to another club, where he will be appreciated and not sit on the fucking bench for 120 min.

Idiot!

Good old Frankie Lamps needs to play the full two hours!

Mourinho when he first arrived on the scene, was a good charismatic manager, now he's tedious as fuck. Can't believe how much he gets away with from his fanboys, his actions and comments are pathetic, no more so than his interviews before and after the Bayern game.

About time he grows up and starts giving credit to other teams. That was a stone wall red card never mind a yellow for Ramires and Bayern were the better team, without question!

Mou's grown up. Not so his fanboys.

Grown up?

Have you see his interviews recently about Pep? His interviews on the ref the other night? What about this from him?

Jose Mourinho has labelled clubs who continue to spend big in an era of Financial Fair Play as "economic sharks".

The Chelsea manager was speaking about UEFA's FFP policy which was designed to ensure a club's expenditure does not exceed its income.
A summer of lavish spending has ensued regardless, though, and Mourinho - who believes his club have taken a correct and prudent approach - is unhappy that some continue to splash the cash.
"Clubs have to think about the future, where financial fair play will make us think about football in a different way," he said in an interview with ESPN which was carried by several national newspapers.
"We have already started but other clubs seem to think FFP will never start or they think they can override what FFP says and determines. They have continued spending incredible sums. We have gone with another thought."

Chelsea have not exactly traded on a shoestring themselves, with the likes of Andre Schurrle, Marco Van Ginkel, Willian and Samuel Eto'o all arriving for varying amounts.
Mourinho, though, points to an investment in youth as evidence that Chelsea are using the market sensibly.

"The club has invested in young players and, with those young players mixed with the players who came to Chelsea in the past, we are constructing a team to compete directly with those who invest more," he said, with 32-year-old Eto'o the exception to that.

"But we are happy. We have a young team with a bright future. We have two players almost for every position, some more experienced, some with more potential for growth. And we have other players, loaned out for one, two or three years, that have to come back.
"And with less investment, we intend to maintain the level of these economic sharks who seem like they will continue with the desire to buy and they will keep buying. I'm happy for them that they have that objective."

The former Real Madrid coach, now in his second spell at Chelsea, added: "I am used to these injustices. I won the Champions League with Porto without investing and playing teams who had spent money. It was not mentioned much."
Mourinho's sense of foul play has hardly subsided over recent days owing to the fallout from his side's Super Cup loss to Bayern Munich.

The Portuguese hinted at a conspiracy against him after his side ended with 10 men, saying referee Jonas Eriksson had "killed" the game by dismissing Ramires.

He feels equally strongly about FFP too, making reference to the perceived criticism he faced after heavy investment during his first spell with Chelsea.

"After I arrived at Chelsea at the start of Mr (Roman) Abramovich's investment, he spent money and bought players, and when I won they said it was because I had spent money," he said.

And now we do not buy players, the others do and I do not see the same sort of opprobrium criticising these clubs spending a huge amount at a time when, socially and politically, Europe is not in a very good moment.

"I do not see the same sort of criticism. That is the injustice."

Grown up?

Yep. It's weird some people still seem confused about Jose Mourinho's words and actions after these so many years. They don't realize it's just him and his ways. He's an intelligent man but not in a way you could respect him with the way he try to win things to his benefits. What I mean about grown up is that he "knows" what he's doing, it's his policy and he's won things in the past by using this character.

On other hand it makes it hilarious that his fanbase call him "honest" because he babble out about everything, no matter how selective he talks about the things he wants.

People know what he's doing, that's why people like him. Maybe it suits the British sense of humour, and that's why people have taken to him here more so than in Spain or Italy.

Who did he blame for loss this time ?

 

[Beast]

Who did he blame for loss this time ?

Iker , the Spanish media and the players of Real Madrid

I said it before , his time at Real Madrid broke him internally ..the idea of failing to have cult following in a club was devastating... all the teams since his success with Porto gave a hard time for the one who replaced him whether in players or fans reaction..
I saw him in the post-match interview he looks like a broken man who's woman left him .. the deals he did some of them doesn't make sense (Willian for example ) , the people who will pay for his tough times in Real will be both Torres and Mata especially the later , he knows they talk with their Spanish team mates in the NT team and he won't tolerate news coming from the Madrid dressing room on his actions.. Jose build his team around the siege mentality ... Mata & Torres won't fit that notion unless they really kneel down to his character

 

[Alik]

So...how long until he gets fired?

Honestly, Chelsea was better off under Benitez and Di Matteo.

 

[Beast]

Jose demise can only be himself , if he pick himself up they will walk all over the league and maybe the CL too.. his team is too strong with a great more than enough subs
with all those AM's & ST
Jose current problem is Jose

Nothing current about it, it's recurrent

Generally he's been fucking up left, right and centre. Dismissing the Europa League win was basically throwing a big dog turd in the face of the players. Then he seems to be undoing all the work that Rafa did last season in getting a balance into the team selection by using players to their best (like Luiz) and not starting Terry and Lampard in every game. Then there's the Rooney/Mata business. And now he's taken the team that Benitez handed to him in excellent shape and is trying to contort it into his standard shit on a stick football and blaming the players when it doesn't work.

I didn't expect it to go this wrong so early and find it hard to believe that Chelsea won't get it together, but the evidence of his last season at Madrid is that the new Special One is perfectly capable of taking a group of even the most talented players and winning fuck all.

I remember how in his first year at RM, he made a point of telling everyone that Valdano didn't want to buy him a striker after Higuain got injured, even though he still had Cristiano(who guarantees you 50 goals/year) and Benzema..and now, with Torres and a Demba Ba that he doesn't like, he got Eto'o, who is at the end of his career. And as consequence, Chelsea scored 7 goals in 6 games(while Barcelona has 19 in 7 games and RM 14 in 5 games)..so I think it will be very hard for Chelsea to compete in EPL with 2 teams that have RVP&Rooney or Dzeko/Kun/Negredo.
