It's called being honest in your opinions and not caring what the English media / fans think. It was the journalist who put it to him that when he asked Klopp / Poch if they would consider themselves a great manager without winning anything at their clubs, they said no. Mourinho said he would consider himself a great manager even if he didn't win anything else.. And there is a major difference here - (a) Mourinho has already won trophies at United and (b) he has won 8 X league titles and 2 X CLs... Unlike those two. So what he said was spot on, if not entirely modest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His football so dull, static, and out dated. Its nothing to do with mind games in his press conferences, just sh*thouse behavior by a classless <deleted> i doubt he'll last past mid november. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bredbury Blue Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I do find it strange that Poch is talked about in the same way as Klopp, Maureen and Pep as he's won....absolutely ZILCH. Is Poch any better than Dyche for instance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poch is a top coach and I'd back him to fill the spot at City with the same or better success as the current tea bag PG.

Being as it’s a Manchester United press conference about the match with Burnley and not a Jose Mourinho testimonial dinner, he doesn’t do himself any favours and slagging off others to justify his career as a whole, well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a bit shocked you do not see the press is playing the Mourinho tune to perfection and drawing irrelevant answers from him that make him look a clown. I'd be gutted if my manager was talking about anything other than getting the team on track and he should keep his trap shut until he does just that and every answer should only be on the cause and nothing else should be given a seconds thought.

Its called deflecting attention away from the team, hes been doing it for years. Most press conferences mean absolutely nothing when it comes down to it. The less he talks about the team when we are doing badly the better. I really don't mind him ranting in press conferences, and you lot are obviously entertained by it... So everybody's a winner!

I stated my opinion on Poch and Dyche. Poch is foreign and manages a top london club = must be brilliant / Dyche is English and manages a small Lancashire club = doesn't deserve a mention.

Dyche is a great manager but he clearly does not fancy managing a higher positioned club. He rejected Everton I believe. Put it this way. I'd back Dyche for the city Job but I reckon if there is one thing missing from his experience it is handling superstars and big boardrooms with more executives than the football squad.

You think Dyche's ambition is to manage Burnley or a team of Burnley's stature do you? You need to wise up. He was linked with Everton between Koeman and Allardyce and we all know the state they were in then. No, Dyche played it smart. Burnley were doing well at that time so he stuck with what he knew...think time has shown that to be a good move having established Burnley and got them in to europe...now that's impressive in my opinion.

Yes defeat cos anything other than a win leaves their sense of entitlement askew. Think CL last year.

How do you know Pochettino has a chance to manage City one day? On your basis ANY manager has a chance of managing City some day, of course they do, why not. And my initial point stands, Pochettino has won nothing but is heralded as a great manager...Spurs are not a small club with mickey mouse resources you know, they are one of the *wealthiest clubs in the world with great resources so he needs to turn that in to trophies to be a great manager...so far, zilch! 10th richest club in the world https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forbes'_list_of_the_most_valuable_football_clubs Edited September 1, 2018 by Bredbury Blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think pochetino has done much better actually. He has turned Spurs into a top 3 team and 4th would be deemed just satisfactory now for them. What he has done in the last 3 years or is it four is cement consistency. Sorry but before pochetino no one was taking Spurs that seriously. You seem to have forgotten life before Poch.

Won trophies, did great things in Spain with Villareal and Malaga, did well with Real Madrid (record points total) and was good with handling galacticos, and City wanted a manager with a holistic approach (City's description not mine) after BobbyManc.

On the budget of a bottom half club, yeah great, but from the 10th richest club in the world is laughable...think we can all agree if they want to win trophies they're going to go up a gear which means spending some of that wealth to compete with Arsenal, Chelsea Liverpool, City and United. Hell, even Swansea, Birmingham, Leicester and Wigan have won trophies in the 10 years since Spurs last won a trophy. Big club but need to push on to be a winning club!
