Has Mourinho lost his mojo

[I'm With Stupid]

write him off at your peril. people saying they didn't want him here, possibly even preferring pelli are seriously off their box.

I'd rather have the people who built the Barcelona team than the man who couldn't beat them with the most expensive squad in history. Okay, he got one title, but they were swiftly put back in their place.

People were talking shite about Pellegrini few days ago etc. Didn't change my opinion on him.

Same with Mourinho, far too early into the season to judge, give him benefit of doubt until end of october and then we'll truly see.

No surprise, it was obvious he was always desperate for the united job regardless of what people on here would try and have you believe. I just hope he doesn't replace Moyes

He does seem different though. He seems a little bit too relaxed these days, almost as though he isn't arsed. Strange to see him have so many fall outs with so many players at his last 2 clubs

I agree he looks haunted and strangely detached but for me thats been the way for a while. He left Chelski still a god to most of the supporters but I feel the constant war he has faced at Inter at Real coupled with just getting older, richer and inevitably losing the hungry fighter feeling have all taken their toll. He will win trophies and he will fall out with Abramovich again because he won't be playing Barca style football. At the swamp if he were successful he would be idolized as long as he won no matter how he played but it would still end in acrimony. He needs to be loved and he needs the friction - he'd cause a war in an empty room - the problem for the Special One now is he's going through the motions coz all that shit isn't fun for him any more.

He's the best manager in the world the first few weeks on this season isn't going to change that

His post match interview after "the crime of the century" was shocking and made it very obvious as to his ambition to replace Taggart.

I think him as head hippo @ the swamp will still happen - just a question of when.

They are well suited.

His performance and antics at the Swamp during the Real Madrid game and at the press conference afterwards more than confirmed that.
Cringeworthy is an understatement.

'Mourinho's fury at missing out on Man Utd job to Moyes
Chelsea boss was allegedly desperate to take over from Sir Alex Ferguson

Jose Mourinho was "desperate" and "incredulous" when he found out he had missed out on succeeding Sir Alex Ferguson as Manchester United boss to David Moyes - according to an explosive new book in Spain.
Spanish journalist Diego Torres's book “Prepárense Para Perder” (Prepare To Lose) has been serialised in his newspaper El Pais, and contains some of the juicer allegations made about the Special One's time in charge at the Bernabeu.
According to the book, Mourinho, who left Madrid to take charge of Chelsea for a second time this summer, was confident that he was a contender for the hot seat at Old Trafford once Ferguson decided to step down at the end of the 2012/13 campaign.

owever when Moyes was announced as the Scot's successor, the Chelsea boss is alleged to have screamed: "But he’s won nothing!”
Torres also claims that Mourinho felt cheated by Ferguson, who he had cultivated a close relationship with during his time with Chelsea, and that he had told his agent Jorge Mendes to try and stop Moyes' appointment.
Torres writes in El Pais: “They were the most miserable hours of Mourinho in his time as manager of Real Madrid. Between dozing and waking he had a mobile glued to his ear, seeking clarification during the night of the 7th and the morning of May 8.”

“What most spooked Mourinho was the conclusion that in public he would look a fool. He felt cheated by Ferguson and feared someone might stop taking him seriously. For years, the propaganda machine had reported the idea of ​​a friendship that is now revealed as a fantasy image. Mourinho’s advisers told him to say that he already knew everything because Ferguson had called to inform him.”
Moyes has endured a mixed start to life as Manchester United boss, and has suffered defeats against both Liverpool and Manchester City in recent weeks.
The Red Devils have also drawn with Mourinho's Chelsea side, who lost three games in a row recently to consign themselves to the worst start to a season since Roman Abramovich bought the club.
The book will be released in Spain on Wednesday, while accusations have already started to fly that Torres has an axe to grind with Mourinho from his tempestuous time with Real Madrid.'
