I did like David Squires recent characterisation of Mourinho as being in the 'fat Elvis in Vegas' phase of his career

José Mourinho: Fenerbahçe Manager (sack watch)
- Thread starter horsechoker

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) review both the Everton and Bodø/Glimt victories at Old Trafford. Listen to the guys discuss 2 wins and 7 goals in the last week, analyse of the Amorim formation, focus on Amad and how he is playing, and also take a look at Hojlund, Rashford & Zirkzee – who starts v Arsenal?
Mourinho also criticised the Turkish league in his post-match press conference, claiming “nobody abroad” wants to watch it.
“Who wants to watch this Turkish league abroad? They have the Premier League, they have the French league, they have the German league, they have the Portuguese league, they have the Dutch league. Why should they see this?
“It’s too grey. It’s too dark, smells bad. But that’s my job, and I will give everything to my job, to my club.
“I don’t think abroad many people watch the Turkish league. I think in London only my son watches the Turkish league, nobody else.

What on Earth? Has he just had enough?
He knows how to get out of a contract fair play
Lmaoo. He has no filter for sure . Gotta love a bit of mourinho now and thenHe knows how to get out of a contract fair play
Guess he's ready for a new club. I'll always love me some Jose though.
In it for that sack time payoutWhy accepting the job in the first place Jose?
I've never been compelled to watch the Turkish League but I think he's just sold it to me. Grey, dark and smelly football. What's not to like?
Sounds like @SilentWitness at 5-a-side.
Where's he going next?
Wolves or West Ham
Wolves or West Ham
I don't think I've ever heard an entire football league described as "smelly" before. Until this day.
Sounds like he's activated sack me mode early, usually gets 2 seasons before he decides he can't be arsed anymore and wants out.
His ego hasn't caught up with his ability yet.
He’s saying it’s a corrupt league, right?
Its the typical Us Vs The World narrative of Jose Mourinho. Fenerbahce vs the whole turkish football that is corrupt and working in favour of Galatasaray.. Jose is trying to heat up the battle for the title but he is currently 5 points behind the leaders..
Shots at the league/Gala, yes.
He must be careful over there. Didn’t one of the clubs owners come o to the field with a gun to intimidate the match officials?
He's obviously after a position in Amorim's backroom staff.
He's been gagging to leave recently and will do everything possible to make it happen. Horrible scrote
Press conferences that sound racist.
Think it was his owner actually, so, no worriesHe must be careful over there. Didn’t one of the clubs owners come o to the field with a gun to intimidate the match officials?

Hope he is having a lot of fun in TurkiyeSad that he is not managing at the top level, anymore
Always something happenning with him Yanking his player away from a goal celebration so he could bring him on as a sub and doing the same with one of his coaches when I think there was an injury.
Won 3-1 to cut the gap on Galatasaray to 3 points. They drew with every Yorkshireman's favourite Turkish team, Eyupspor.

He certainly makes football more interesting, that's for sure.
Miss Jose, Prem needs him. Everton or Newcastle.
