Which makes them not shenanigans at all really evil shenanigans.
Sometimes I think that he makes all these statements on purpose to be sacked and get all his new contract. He is trying to defend his position but did not hesitate to attack his players at a press conference . Professionals who earn millions and are identified as culprits. What will think the rest of the team?
The point of my post was that because of what he said the focus is on the manager and the talk on him, not the criticism of the players, and that's exactly what the media focused on after that match.
As I said I don't know if what he did was intentional or not, I've said this several times now, but the consequences of it is a lot of focus on Mourinho, for the players that's only a good thing. If you want to disagree with this then that's your opinion, but I think it's obvious the focus by the media after the post match interview was on what the manager said and not what the players did in the match, very obvious.
And also in his post match rant it's clear as daylight he was not criticising (or blaming) his players but sympathising with them, he said he, the players and the board need to stick together, he referred to them as good players who are low on confidence, he also didn't mention any individuals in that post match interview, Matic was never mentioned.
I think the more Jose talks, the more pressure will be on the Ref to not come under another attack from Jose. The FA needs to act and punish him well this time around.
It's gotten to a point where I don't think the refs care much about it - the whole world can see how out of line he is, so there isn't really much to fear.
Sack Mourinho hire Bredan Rodgers.
Don't really think that's the case. He is vain, arrogant and proud, and wants to be part of the football circus. He's not likely to retire anytime soon, and where can he go after Chelsea? He is burning every damn bridge. I think he wants to stay there but just honestly doesn't know how to handle this.
I actually think that the more he talks the less the refs will be inclined to give him anything, because they will be accused of caving in under Mourinho's attacks.
I am not so sure. Webb became worse towards us once when they started calling him the 12th man at Utd. I clearly remember he used to give ridiculous decisions against us and went too soft on opposition.
So Refs do try to prove a point.
Anyways, the point was Jose should be given a good punishment this time around

Yeah, and in that case the point could be "we don't like you".
I think the person you responded to has made a valid point. Mourinho is clearly a master of instant success, and is tactically brilliant. But what he is evidently not so good at is motivating the same group of people for longer than 3 years. Yes, he has had success for more than a decade in multiple countries, but he has done so with many different teams. That is a different skill from staying in one place and squeezing out the extra 1% of effort from someone over 3, 5, 7, 10 years.
I think we can all imagine a renegade teacher who wows us with his methods and impact for a period of a year or two. But perhaps that teacher starts to wear after a while. Perhaps he is limited in his variety and becomes predictable. Having the same teacher for many years requires that teacher to have exceptional motivational ability to keep you on your toes and keep wanting to work hard for them. This is something I question whether Mourinho has.
Think you've nailed it.
The Chelsea fans on here have gone very quiet (finally). Do any of them want Mourinho sacked? Do they still like Mourinho as a man?
I'm a Chelsea fan, have been posting regularly, still want Mourinho and truthfully never liked his antics with the press. Don't know him as a man though so can't comment on it but I have heard that he is a very pleasant person.
He burns bridges but at the end the clubs will want him for his results.What do you think about United for next season?
Caf-favourite Craig Burley was calling for Roman to sack Jose on ESPN FC this morning - his argument was that letting Klopp go to Liverpool while all of this is going on with Jose was crazy for Chelsea to do, and that they should act immediately to get Klopp in whatever the cost.
I've no idea if he's usually critical of his former club, but still jarring to hear a pundit so passionately call for Jose to be sacked.

Ridiculous decision from a complete idiot.
Craig Burley (1 FA Cup, 1 Scottish league title, 1 Scottish league cup to his name) advising Chelsea to sack one of the most successful managers in the game because of a patch of bad form. What a tosser.
I've been basically a ninja in this very poor spell we've had
I don't want him sacked. He should be given until the end of the season.
He's an idiot, but a stopped clock and all that...This time he's right. Any self respecting club would have given Mourinho the chop for being such a monumental dickwad.
Jokes. You'd be 1st in line to suck off Mourinho he been a manager of your club.
I'd rather eat my own shite than have to put up with him. Never mind his antics, I'd get bored of being a football fan if I watched his team for 90 minutes every week.
Say a fan whose team was managed by Benitez for 6 seasons. What was it called.. shit on a stick football
That's because Rafa was one of them. A man whose pure heart would beat solely for the most magical football club in all of the lands.
This is probably the deepest crisis he's got himself into to. Back when he was sacked at Chelsea the first time they were nowhere near as bad, I think it was two or three bad results (including 1-1 against Rosenborg in CL) plus finishing behind United the previous season that got him the boot. It will be interesting to see if he can find solution and it will be a good test which at 52 he's basically never had to pass.
Same here. I'm personally am not sure he will, but interested to see him try and dig himself out of this hole.
Poor old Mou, looks like someone suffering from post-partnum depression.
I think this will be good for him, a bit of hardship and struggle never hurt anyone. He might become an even stronger person at the end of it because he's never really had a crisis like this at any club. You could say Madrid but they were never flirting with relegation.
No they wouldn't. Only a stupid, irrational club with a very short memory would sack a manager a couple of months after winning the league.
Yes, a bit of adversity never hurts anyone, but I don't know, I have this feeling Mourinho is really struggling for a variety of reasons - not only the obvious ones. Doesn't look too 'well' in my opinion, but have to admit I can't wait to see what he does next
About Mourinho in United? Hope it's never going to happen!
All valid points in my opinion. I never wanted Moyes but I happily accepted him over getting Mourinho in.
Are these idiotic comments true? Talking about Pep balding FFS 
etc.
Maybe it was all done a bit "tongue in cheek"?

Agree with this. Its a situation he hasnt been in before and so far he isnt exactly handling it well.
@McUnited said earlier that Mourinho is a "master of instant success" and I completely agree. He has never really proven anything other than that he can deliver short term success when given a huge amount of money to spend. Thats still a valuable skillset to have of course, but to maintain success over the longer term is a very different challenge for him it seems.
Regarding United, I thought Mourinho would have been a good choice to take over from Ferguson for the reasons I just listed above - he is the type who could come in, steady the ship and still deliver success during that difficult post-Fergie transitional phase. Never as a long term option though.
Am resigned to this not happening
Pardon the pun
Pardon the pun
Like Liverpool would do with an employee who did something questionable?
Signing of intent.
Have they sent him (whoever the hell he is) on loan already?
Genius from Mourinho.. signing a player in October to distract from his team's poor performances recently.
You're not thinking about this deeply enough - he's signed a player in October to provoke a discussion about how he has signed a player in October to distract from his team's poor performances recently, in order for that discussion to distract from his team's poor performances recently.
His is a level of genius that we can hardly recognise, never mind comprehend
Surely Klopp at Liverpool will now put more pressure on him to perform. There's one serious competitor for top four added to the list.
I'd like to see Chelsea play at Anfield now. Klopp will get Liverpool to destroy that defence.
