Jose Mourinho

[DucdeOrléans]

Ofcourse there was a support of him, he was their "crack" signing, their "saviour". They had to cling to his reputation in order to conjure some cojones. They were desperate for a hero.

Exactly. Due to Mourinho's reputation and credentials more than anything else. There would not be such a strong support of his appointment if he was not Mourinho. Also only Mourinho have been given so much power at RM as a manager and such a long line because he is Mourinho. Same with the fans.

Those are not polls. Just pieces (opinions) from two authors. Try and read the comments in the last piece. 4 out of the 5 comments (from what I can see by taking a quick glance) are in support of Mourinho.

Obviously a manager will divide people at RM or any other big club for that matter. Always. Some Barcelonistas also called for Pep's head last year. Does not change the fact that Pep enjoyed widespread support from the majority of the fans - much like Mourinho has enjoyed more support than opposition.

Another telling example is Sir Alex who was questioned by SOME fans every now and then when Man Utd where not up to their usual best.

But I guess you agree with my main point then.

wow i am thinking how mourinho will be feeling now....
I mean even though he is leaving, Man Utd didn't even consider him as coach to succeed SAF.
Attitude matters in football at classy club......always.

Which club has money where mourinho could go except chelsea(after next season if he failed at chelsea).
No man city because their owner knew value of manager.......
No more spanish & italian clubs----only italian club have financial muscle power today is Juve & they have conte so no chance.
Bayern munich have pep & dortmund have klopp.---so no german league.
May be PSG if ancelotti goes & wenger not considering psg coaching next year then chance.
But russian league is always an option.

Mourinho in the russian league is a hilarious thought.

You have blamed everything and everyone except Mourinho Ducde and you have run out of arguments, when for any big club around the world silverware is the truth. When the time comes and whoever is elected keeps Mourinho you will be proven right, otherwise you will be proven wrong so brace yourself.

Matter of fact is that in this three seasons Mourinho delivered 1 Copa del Rey, 1 League, 1 Spanish Super Cup, and 1 Copa del Rey still up for grabs. Capello is 2 leagues in 2 seasons (way worse conditions than Mourinho), Del Bosque is 4 major titles in 4 seasons (Madrid were broke when he won the CL in 2000), Jupp is 1 major title in 1 season, Schuster is 1 in 1. Don't deflect and dig deep, you won't find anything. The country, the capital, the club and its institutions have long lived before and will live beyond Mourinho so changing everything in Madrid and Real Madrid is not only stupid, it is a fake attempt at bravery and the result will always be failure, which is what Mourinho is labeled now. Madrid is a top club because Perez made it is financially powerful, and is backed by history because of a list of men that does not include Mourinho.

Blame everything you want, but when everyone looks around, they won't find the silverware they wanted and invested in for.

Mourinho...
Great tactician but lacking the class as a manager. He showed his limit at RM and now his retreating to his safe zone, Chelsea. Maybe he needs a break after all the shit talking he did about Pep taking a year off lol

The best definition of Mou:
"Mourinho is a coach of titles, not football. Or rather, not a football coach if we understand the sport is a spectacle or entertainment for those who watch it, either at home or live in the stadium". J Cruyff

 

[Stric]

Mourinho is obviously a talented and skilled manager, but for the position he occupies, he lacks basic human dignity and decency. (I'm not saying he's the only one.) He's the boss, and he should be the kind of personality and the kind of man that his players will have genuine, noncompulsory respect for. Mourinho is not that guy. If I was a player, I could never respect Mourinho as my superior the way I could respect some other managers. Even if he was the best of them in terms of football management. Obviously in today's football and what the goals today are, with many players being complete douchebags themselves, this doesn't play as much of a role as it does in my mind, but anyway... I could never willingly bow to the authority of a grown man who behaves the way Mou does. I'd either suck it up and try to survive until my contract expires, to maintain my own professional behavior, or hand in a transfer request as soon as possible. Honestly. I'm not saying he's a douche towards his players, I'm just saying I personally have a very hard time taking orders from someone I have no respect for.

-Mourinho may have won La Liga once, but he lost it twice. In the last two seasons Barca have been very poor and unbalanced in defence. I still can't believe that Barca is on their way to win it that easy this season. Thank you, Mou
-He reached the CL semifinals in the last three years, but what on Earth he's proud with? Beating the likes of CSKA Moscow, Galatasaray, APOEL, poor Lyon and unexperienced Tottenham with the most expensive team in the history of football? Is that what he is proud with? And then losing to the first really serious opponent? His only achievement was the lucky and undeserved as he admitted win at Old Trafford. Big deal, isn't it?
-The reason for Real Madrid not winning Copa del Rey for 20 years is because they never considered it as a major trophy, most of the time both Barca and Real use their second string teams for this competition. Mourinho concentrated on winning the Copa only because it saved him from being trophy-less.
- His transfer policy is also weird. 4 million euro for having Adebayor for 6 months? 30 million for Coentrao? 10 million for Pedro Leon? 30M+ for Luca Modric, when you have the 65M Kaka and Ozil in the very same position? Not to mention that in his spell at Inter he wasted nearly 60M on Quarezma, Mancini, Muntari and Jimenez. And his transfer flops at Chelsea are also notable. Yes, he signed the pure gem Varane, but he is the only Mourinho really successful transfer.

So yes. Mourinho is over-rated.

We have to expect the Madridistas to try a belittle La Liga as they have lost it 4 times in the last 5 years, but what I don't understand is their argument for it; that they are only interested in Europe. If that is really the case, then as I said previously they have been even more of a failure as they have not won in Europe for 12 years. It also occurs to me that they always bring up the fact that Mou beat us in the Copa final as if it is some great achievement, are they now saying that the Copa is more important than La Liga? So their priorities are in this order now? CL, Copa and then La Liga? Hmmmmmm....smells like bullshit to me.

Exactly. And during Pep era when we won CDR , these same madridistas were saying winning CDR was not a big achievement. well well who can compete with their hypocrisy!

Who brought the Copa final ? only you
We are not belittling la liga.. we are belittling that you were the strongest Spanish team this season ... you won the liga because we slacked off.. not your issue but doesn't make you happy doesn't it when you (and i will quote you here from last season ) "cannot Beat your rival at all you cannot call yourself the strongest team in Spain" - end of Poor_Sunyol Quote pre-Clasico in Camp nou season 2011/2012
La liga comes after the CL .. Copa is and will always be crap

 

[SEvolution]

Why do Madridistas choose to ignore barca had the record breaking start this season with 19 games unbeaten and finally lost to Sociedad.

Talk about losses this season we only have 2 out of 34 games played.

So please stop with this we were not focusing on liga and bs and give credit where its due.
