Comments on: José Mourinho: Overrated & Far From Being Great http://www.afc4life.co.uk/2007/09/21/jose-mourinho-overrated-far-from-being-great/ Sat, 30 Aug 2008 05:14:19 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.1 by: Wenger's Immortals http://www.afc4life.co.uk/2007/09/21/jose-mourinho-overrated-far-from-being-great/#comment-18014 Fri, 21 Sep 2007 19:20:59 +0000 http://www.afc4life.co.uk/2007/09/21/jose-mourinho-overrated-far-from-being-great/#comment-18014 You can put The Special Cunts reign as Chelsum manager into the following analogy; it's like playing Poker, and going all in on the first hand. You either come up trumps or lose everything. It's the guys like Wenger and Ferguson who aren't gambling on a couple of games, but playing for the bigger prize, and the long term. There's no skill in going all in and then fucking off after only 3 years. For the first time in 3 seasons things started to get a little shaky and he ran off with his tail between his legs. Great? No chance! You can put The Special Cunts reign as Chelsum manager into the following analogy; it’s like playing Poker, and going all in on the first hand.

It's all about money for him. “20m plus pounds pay off”. It’s all about money for him.

Arsene Wenger could assemble 3 world class teams for that much!

Only thing special about him is all the money that he wasted and spent on transfers. With that kind of money, many other wise EPL managers would be able to achieve the same results. Totally disrespectful, dishonest (eg, Ca$$$$$$$hley Cole), hooligan-mentality, arrogant and prideful. thug-tactics, etc... Can't believe some fan blogs can think that he could thrive at Arsenal FC!

The Anders Frisk thing was disgusting but that was Mourinho. An extremely defensive minded coach who at chelsea had about 3 or 4 players for every position mostly defense. He spent nearly 187 million and they never really played exciting football. Done a god job at porto but if that makes him special then why isn't the manager of the Greece national team that won a euro championship a few years back not considered great, whoever he is he done a Mourinho won a tournament on the back of a defensive ugly footballing team. Crap stadiam too that Stamford Bridge. I agree he was a good coach but as a man he was disrespectful to his fellow professionals and the rules.

The man is gone, and I don't hink we should not waste any more time on him...he's not worth it at all. As I posted in another blog, he is not great...he won the few titles because it was bought for him by Roman and the good eggs he had...when the eggs were broken, he couldn't make any omelets....it shows he has nothing just like big fat Jol.....they know a lot about food though... We are Arsenal fans are so lucky to have Wenger....cause Wenger knows.

There are so many 'We Love Jose' articles it makes me sick. Are people too scared to even question Mourinho and his antics, and simply put it down to 'charisma' which is just ridiculous. His distain for the officials in the game was shocking. Yes, Wenger might have berated referee's in the past but there is a line you don't cross yet The Special Cunt crossed it time after time.

His lack of sportsmanship was nauseating, offensive, way beyond any of the angry tantrums I've ever seen in the 40 years I've been meeting football managers and writing about them." Just about sums up my feelings about him really. And with Chelsea's budget, any decent manager could have won what he did, and probably would have done it with more humility and more attractive football. Wenger, Hiddink, Ferguson, Capello, Rijkaard, Benitez, Ancelotti, Flores, infact any manager of the top teams could have won back to back titles. This is from Myles (ANR):

The point is which decent manager (which he is) could not have done that? Jonster the discussion is whether he is great or not, regardless of Real Madrids performance The Special Cunt spent £200m
