That's the game he plays, puts himself in the firing line to take the pressure off his players, he's done it many times in press conferences.
As did I,and I've already stated Mourinho is the better manager.He is not God though and has fucked up plenty of times.Didsbury Dave said:lust overlord said:Didsbury Dave said:Still managed to kick us out of the Champions League without breaking sweat though...
Last gasp winner and a draw.Not the sort of results that would suggest Jose management was streets ahead.Especially as Mancini is according to you not up to much.Joses magic management should have seen a couple of 4or 5 goal thrashings surely,such is the difference.
I watched both games. He outwitted Mancini tactically in both, quite easily.

Take it as you want but this situation at Madrid puts some more pressure on Mancini, Mourinho is all but available next year and it might be - perform or "die".
Though I'm not sure if Mourinho would really want City job. He likes to be loved by his club fans and he knows he isn't really City fans hero.

I quote:
“Those who want to whistle me they can do it. People who come later should support their team, support their Real Madrid so that Real Madrid can achieve its objective which is to win the match.
I see that as him putting himself forward to take any criticism from the fans before the players come out, protecting them for the greater need.
It's an interesting debate because both Jose and Bob have pros and cons which all individuals have but looking at the overall picture Jose wins it for me.
Like I said earlier I don't understand why some posters get so defensive for Bob on this debate, it's no different to comparing Messi with Silva?
NipHolmes said:The Future's Blue said:It seems this thread is more about Mou than Man. I'm not a Mourinho lover but he's done very well so far but could be criticised for being so far off the pace of Barca.
No real hardship there, where it will really hurt will be being 4 points off their Derby rivals and not being able to beat a relegation candidate.
For those who say he's not arsed about the league (which I think he is), just ask those millions of fans if he should be arsed. I'm sure they'll give you a very straight answer.
He's arsed about everything he competes for.
He'll be arsed because he wants to prove Barca wrong time after time for not choosing him. Real will do well to replace him with anybody close to his level and they will regress imo. In three years time many fans will look back with regret I am sure.

They get so defensive because they know full well that Mourinho is a serious threat to Mancini, and they know full well that an element of this forum would welcome him with open arms. So it makes them feel a bit better about themselves to do him down.
He'd be adored if he ever came, of course.
