Jose Mourinho

[buzzer1]

To be honest Billy, yes he won the Chumps etc, but i know what i would say if a manager of ours won what Jose has and then immediately after the Final of the Chumps turns all the attention on himself and says hes fukin off, i'm afraid i would be inclined to say thanks for the silverware now FUK OFF, i'm with Mancio on this one.

Mate, to be honest, I don't get this whole "turns all the attention on himself" stuff. He's entitled to, as he's clearly the best manager in the world.

I think generally, football is a very stale, old fashioned, and formulaic establishment. Mourinho is a typhoon of fresh air...genuinely, I couldn't respect the the man anymore than I do now if he'd just won the CL for us.

I say just get your medal and Fuk off, let us celebrate with people that are gonna be here long after any manager, be it Frank Clark or indeed Jose, let us celebrate in peace the biggest result(possibly) in 40 odd years, its about Inter and the Fans, not the jose show, but he does'nt seem to understand this,.

as Inter fan I hate Mourinho.

we won the Italian Cup. Serie A . Champions league. the treeble.

and you are not enjoying anything. Mr Mourinho could not wait a week, or at least 2 days before taking the attention on his future.
fuck off.

Mourinho has eclipsed your hero's achievements in just two short years, and has led you to your first Champions League in over forty years. Yet you hate him? Very strange.

Not sure he's eclipsed Mancini's achievements at Inter to be honest. Inter hadn't won anything for years before Mancini took over and he took them to 3 back to back titles plus cup wins. To me that's an equivalent achievement to taking an already excellent team on to further glory.

Mourinho is clearly an excellent manager who is able to take very good teams and make them a bit better. It would have been interesting to see if he could have taken City to where we want to go but that isn't going to happen (at least for a while).

Personally I would prefer a manager who will stick around for longer than Mourinho seems to do and really build something special for the long-term as well as giving a bit of success in the short term.

Undoubtedly a great manager, but he has had some luck, and takes over his teams at the right time

I prefer the Barcelona and Van Gaal approach to football, and as Van Gaal said in summary after the game - it's easier to defend than attack.

It was the consumate Inter performance - 30% of the possession, win 2-0.

Made for a magnificent game of football. I enjoyed the quality of the defending and attacking with great commitment and technical skills displayed throughout.

Robben surprised me. Better player than when he was at Chelsea.

Not sure about luck. Is it luck that he takes over teams at the top with investment behind them and makes then even more successful or just impeccable timing?

A fascinating manager Jose and as I said the best in the business in my opinion.

Kind of makes you wonder why Inter sacked Mancini doesn't it?

Great manager (though not as great as some would have you believe...).

Absolute bellend though. Even more of a knobhead than fergie IMO.

Completely understand where Mancio is coming from. His behaviour before and after the match really takes away from the enjoyment of the victory. It's not the fact he's going to Madrid that's the problem. It's not even the fact that he wants to take Maicon and Milìto with him. It's the fact that he can't abide the story not being all about him, not even for one moment.

Ronaldo is a prize nobhead with an equally large ego, but even he wasn't as bad as Mourinho (though he came close).

As for Inter showing him appropriate deference and gratitude: well, I would say that the EUR 12m per year go some way to doing so. The idea that he should be exempt from criticism I find pretty laughable to be fair.

As you were, though - let's just go back to bowing down unquestioningly at his knees...

SEMPRE E SOLO FORZA INTER

If I remember correctly he's quit earlier in the season and then changed his mind so there were obviously some problems between him and the board.

Also the board may have thought that Mourinho would be able to take them to the next level, especially in Europe. That decision has obviously now been entirely vindicated.

Good to see you posting RD. It's a rare sight these days...

Now, I'm going to disagree with you wholeheartedly...;- )

It's very simple for me - he's exempt from criticism because he just keeps on winning. It's not about unquestioningly bowing down at his knees - it's about unquestionably accepting that he's the best out there. I suppose the Ronaldo analogy is a good one. You can think he's a ****, you can despise his attitude, but you can't question his talent...

Exactly.

I'd argue though that we're not on a high enough level yet for Mourinho to be interested. He does seem to prefer taking over a top 2 type team and improving that extra bit to make them champions them rather than taking over a longer term project with a lower placed side.

People tend to overlook Mourinho's achievements with Porto when making this argument. Taking them to the CL was a stunning achievement imo, and has earnt him the right to take the subsequent jobs he has taken.
