Mourinho at City

[Kiss_The_Goat]

So despite being so insulted by our current 'boring' playing style 44% would want Mourinho?? Bizarre. The 1-0 king. Jose's teams score one goal, then destroy the game with diving, time-wasting, cheating and a painfully boring keep ball session... or does no-one care about that because he's a media golden boy? I would never want that prick in charge of City. Yes he may win trophy's but he is a cheat and his brand of 'football' is an insult to the game. He's got next scum manager written all over his smug face.

I'm not the biggest Mourinho fan & don't want to swap him for Bob but this 1-0 stuff simply can't be true. Chelsea were top or 2nd top scorers under Mourinho & that was in the days when the top 4 were good.

The biggest criticism of Mourinho was that if Chelsea were three up at half time, he'd get them to cruise out the 2nd half & conserve energy rather than going for 6 which then made the match boring. We would do the same. He now manages Real Madrid & they play better football to watch than Arsenal imo; they have more variety in attack.

Why are people ignoring his current Madrid team when discussing him? Why can't people discuss it fairly rather than ignoring the truth in order tpo make a point?

I go by what I see - now i'll admit I havent watched his Madrid side too often this season, but lets be honest the Spanish league is Mickey Mouse. Its like the top 4 in the Prem playing in the Championship. I watched his Inter side most weeks (they were always on Fox Soccer Channel) and his Cheslea side a lot and his brand of football is appalling - keep ball, nick goals, then cheat, time waste and dive to destroy a game and stop the opposition playing. Ive seen it time and time and time again from Mourinho sides. His 2 and 3-0's are played like 1-0's. No space, no pace, bitty, scrappy and dull.
You dont have to agree with me, but i'm going on what I have seen with my own eyes. I remember having a similar discussion on here when we appointed Mancini. I argued that his style of football was slow and boring and that we'd miss the flair of Hughes' play, going on what I had seen when watching Mancini's Inter, only to be met by arguments from people on here with stats and wikipedia remarks on how Mancini's teams scored shit loads of goals and how he was renowned for his attacking play. I admit my '1-0 king' comment isnt statistically true but when you're Chelsea or Inter or Madrid the majority of teams you play against are technically a lot weaker and you will undoubtedly win by more than one goal - its in the closer games that the true style of the team is exaggerated - as with us now.
If people think Mancini is 'boring', then with Mourinho you can add 'cheating' and 'time wasting' to that.

For the record I dont want Mancini to go, and neither did I want Hughes to go - stability is the key for me, together with patience. Mancini will get it right and win us trophy's if given time, and his style of football is something some people are just going to have to deal with. I dont personally have a problem with it or the Italian brand of football - its cheating that I cant abide and that is why I never want Mourinho in charge at City. His tactics and behaviour are a disgrace to the game for too often..

Btw - our results so far this season... boring boring City? Long may Mancini stay in charge...

You obviously haven't read my post... just looked at the results list. I personally dont have a problem with how we play - what I find bizarre is that the people who bitch and complain about Mancini's football see Jose Mourinho as the answer? They clearly havent watched Mourinho's teams play.

[Wooders]

I've read your post - just coz I don't agree with it doesn't mean I haven't read it :D

I've watched a fair bit of real this season, I watch a lot of spanish football, and they're not boring - inter weren't under jose either
My problem with mancini is that we're being boring AND failing - I could take being boring and achieving our targets

Real play fast attacking football. That's a fact. Jose Mourinho is their manager. That's a fact. Some people are insisting on bringing up examples of what he did in the past rather than what he's doing now. It's ridiculous.

WATCH REAL MADRID AND COMMENT ON WHAT HE'S DOING NOW.

He's proving right now that he can put a side out which plays attacking football. If he goes to the rags, that's exactly what he will do there, as well as have the ability to shut up shop when needed. If he gets Real tight defensively, they'll probably shock everybody & win the Champion's Lg next season, or even this season if they have a bit of luck.

What Jose is doing already, is what we're hoping & dreaming Bob will do, one day. The difference is, rather than put Real fans through a season & half of mostly dire, shit, slow, gutless football in order to get there, he's gone straight on the attack & worked on the defence at the same time. Bob could have done the same, he had unlimeted funds to sign attacking players but he hasn't got the balls to do it; he's 1st & foremost interested in protecting his own arse.

We are all hoping that will change & that when he does change, he'll be successful & not lose 0-4 every week. So far he's shown absolutely no evidence that he can put out an attacking team & win football matches. We're just hoping it will happen.

Mourinho can. He can also put out a defensive team & win football matches or one that does both in the same game. He can also win Champions Lgs whilst Bob's strongest team gets turned over by fucking Jo ffs, there's no comparison.

I've slated the bloke I didn't/don't want him, I don't like his behaviour etc etc but I've had to admit the facts; Jose's Inter proved it.

Mourinho is currently a better manager than Mancini by a fucking country mile.

[Mikhail Chigorin]

For some perverse reason, I've really enjoyed reading all the varied posts in this thread.

However, I still don't know whether or not I'd want Mourinho at City.....I'm not violently against him coming but, if he didn't arrive here, I wouldn't be devastated either; just can't seem to make up my mind either way (so I'm obviously indecisive to the 'Nth' degree).

What does stand out though is that there seems to be very few other genuine and viable options to Mourinho. Van Gaal has been mentioned as well as Guardiola, plus one or two others, but if we want a Manager who can possibly be successful but playing football the traditional 'City way', i.e. with style and attacking flair, the name I'd go for (and the man I wanted before we got Roberto Mancini) is Frank Rijkaard.

Rijkaard laid the foundations for the current Barcelona side and when anyone mentions Guardiola's qualities , fine manager though he has now become, let's not forget that he inherited the basis of a fine side from the Dutchman. In some ways, Rijkaard seems, to me, to fit more comfortably into the City ideal than Mourinho does and if he was successful with us, he's be here for the duration rather than being off on his travels after two or three years.

One more assorted thought about Mourinho and the length of time he might remain with us, if we appointed him, relates to his future ambitions; as I seem to recall that he has stated that, eventually, he wanted to end up managing a National side, presumably his native Portugal. However, if City got him, I wouldn't rule out him leaving us to manage England after a couple of years.

Stranger things have happened.......

[colonel_muck]

the stigma attatch to his teams being boring is absolutely untrue. his team's top priority is to stop the opponents flourishing, yes but his counter attacking is second to none. not my first choice manager but anyone other than mancini is fine by me!

You are messing right?

You don't know what boring football is? Its when you play with three midfielders whose strengths are all defensive and your emphasis as a team is more based on not losing than on winning.

There have been plenty of examples of this throughout the whole season with City.

And it is fucking BORING.

Well, it is to me anyway.
