Park Life 71 Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 A lot of them are hoping Mourinho comes back. I wonder if they will begin to use the term "messiah" if that happens... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassplayerjj 0 Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 to be fair, he made a few dodgy decisions at important times and isn't exactly a leader of men as far as I could tell. Then again, I wasn't in the dressing room, or on the training pitch, but that team had been coached by Jose and his men for over 2 years. All those players know exactly what their job is and are experienced enough to just get on with it and play. They will need a strong character to come in and shape a new team to challenge for trophies that were not won this year =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acrossthepond 721 Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 This was always going to happen, and although he hardly evokes sympathy I do feel sorry for him. Naturally since it's Chelsea we won't hear how their "fickle, toxic, vicious" fans etc. demanded better. I think it'll be Hiddink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torres 0 Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 I liked Grant, he made them less dispicable. This is probably a sour grapes reaction to losing the CL final. It`ll be Sven (how suited they would be) or Laudrup. Crap club either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinofbeans 89 Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 its all about that odious cunt peter kenyon. he's made the decision. Grant was never a leader of men and the ego count at chelsea is pretty high what with Terry, Lampard, Drogba amongst others, having hissy fits and not wanting the team changed..... hopefully that side gets broken up in the summer.

I like the bit where the chelski fans saying the "right" religion and looks are part of what's important for a manager. I bet that never appears in the papers. The level of debate on there: "Football forums everywhere are laughing at us. Still, let's hope the next manager is good looking, has better teeth, more celebrity and more personality. Better make sure the next guy isn't from the same religion either, that seemed to bother a few. Cheers Grant, hope you prove them wrong elsewhere. Not saying that good looks and better teeth and personality make an excellent manager, but as far as visual elements go they do matter even if it is just a little. Humans have eyes and they use them for more than just navigating around things. Eyes are a way to receive information; another of our senses. A good manager can inspire you just by his appearance, attitude, voice, charisma, personality, etc. Things like those do matter, and that is the sad truth. A manager would have to be a master tactician if he had no other qualities that could inspire, motivate, or have an impression on players. And bringing religion into debate? I've never heard anyone hate him because of his religion. That is something you are bringing into unnecessary spotlight and attention."

It wouldn't surprise me if Lampard and Drogba end up there. Lovely place to live etc..I have a feeling though that the Ineternazionale job isn't right for Mourinho. I would love to see him back in the PL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 6321 Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 The guy was never anything more than a stop-gap until they could appoint the man they wanted. And if anyone thinks otherwise, they're deluding themselves. Whatever happened he couldn't win. If he'd won something this year, it was Mourinho's toys he was playing with, if he fell short, he was obviously a shit manager who couldn't succeed with a bunch of top players. Mistake Chelsea made was giving him a 4 year contract before Christmas - although it is reported they wanted him to return to the DoF role but Grant refused. Que Sera Sera - couldn't really give a fuck tbh - how about they make it a complete pantomime and re-appoint Mourinho? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
