Certainly there's no evidence he can cut it on a budget, and he'd just bitch on every week and fail to take responsibility for anything. On a budget? Are you suggesting that we'd be after him with Ashley still as owner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying that I'm not convinced Mourinho is all that amazing, and would be interested to see what various mid-tier PL managers could do with the kinds of budgets he usually has available to him. He clearly -was- a very good manager, possibly the best at one point, but his star is now diminishing. As someone else mentioned, it's unlikely a genuinely top tier club will pick him up - and for me, he complains too much and creates a general lack of harmony wherever he goes. I'm not saying we couldn't win things with him + money - clearly we could. I'm just saying that I suspect better options exist who would spend money far less frivolously, and who would actually develop the club at all levels rather than just one.

Howay 12496 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 imo Jose thrives when he’s the centre of it all and is able to build the side. Like when he was at Chelsea, Inter, and Porto. Madrid and Manchester United didn’t suit him as they’re clubs that are far bigger than his status in the game (I know Porto were since he was starting out but the players were also smaller names at the time). If he come into a team with the players we have, and was able to bring in the players he wanted they’d be listening and taking in his instructions. It’s kind of like how Ronaldo didn’t want to listen to Benitez telling him what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5176 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Maybe. I'm not saying anything other than I think he's benfitted from insane levels of financial backing. Truthfully, maybe that lost him his edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players like Ronaldo, Pogba, Ramos, Lukaku, Kroos, and Phil Jones probably didn’t put up with it for too long. Whereas young Lampard, Terry, Carvalho, and Drogba bought in and got the success which led to them trusting him. Maybe I’m wrong and he’s somehow useless, but I don’t think the last 3 jobs suited him (Man U and Madrid are what they are and the Chelsea culture has become very volatile with a lot of player power). Again I could be simplifying it but I think he’s a brilliant manager and if we had any hope of getting him and Rafa had left I’d have him here in a heartbeat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 He wasn't happy with his centre halves at Man Utd and had bother getting the green light to replace them iirc. I blame the club and players for what happened there as much as I blame Jose. I've little doubt he'd have sorted it out if they'd continued to back/support him though. Doubt he's a busted flush, needs to pick his next job carefully though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye you don't get his trophy haul without knowing your onions.

Ayatollah Hermione 13794 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 The one thing Mourinho will have going for him in his next job is he'll be desperate to prove people wrong so it makes sense he'd go for a "project" Saying that, I would worry that his eye for a player is completely gone, looking at the shite he bought for Man Utd. Fred, Bailly and Sanchez alone are enough to counteract decent signings like Matic and...Matic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 5176 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Does buying big name players ever really work out for anyone? Quite often I end up thinking that certain players are really good in particular systems that have been built up around them in their 'formative' playing years, and taking them out of those environments often sees a drop in their overall playing quality. I mean I think that particular point is why Man Utd can't buy their way to success again - they have a collection of individual superstar players who lack the supporting talents of their previous 'lesser lights' teammates.

It would be worth it to see him take no prisoners on questions about the mackems mind. For player recruitment I think ewerk is right, I think he was blocked from a lot of the players he wanted to sign as Woodward went in for names. I remember seeing somewhere that he wanted Alderwierald in but those above him didn’t want an older player so blocked it. They have made a lot of dreadful signings either way mind Edited June 11, 2019 by Howay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
