Jose's rant

Skoorb

Alert Team
Well, after delivering a 7 (seven) minute stream of consciousness in response to a single question in his post match interview, Moaninho went on again for 15 (fifteen) minutes in the post match press conference. During these rants and monologues he went on to claim that referees are afraid to award Chelsea penalties and asserted that he is the best manager in the world and the bet man for the job at Chelsea. Claiming he will not resign and the club will have to sack him.....

So the question is........has he lost the plot or is he making a calculated play to get out of a sh*t situation where he appears to have lost the dressing room and actually wants to manufacture a situation where Abramovich kicks him out? (before the season gets too old and whatever then happens he can either absolve himself from responsibility or claim that things would have gotten better had they kept him on?)
 
He's never at fault and never says anything that isn't calculated to back that assertion. Fortunately people are starting to see through the curtain

Only zees.
 
I've got a copy of the excellent 'Forever Boys' by our old friend James Lawton, about the great 1967/70 side.

On page 170, Francis Lee makes this observation regarding Malcolm Allison and Mourinho.

'Mal got carried away. His mistake was the one that Mourinho is in danger of making - trying to win games on his own'.
'Once you start believing in your own propaganda you are setting yourself up for a fall'

I did see the full seven minute 'interview', and it was jaw dropping stuff.
 
Today he has been given the dreaded Vote of Confidence by the board. That's him gone then, sooner or later.

 
Seeing what happened on Merseyside on the Sunday it actually struck me that his rant was the catalyst for FSG accelerating their jettisoning of Rodgers. They may have been worried that Jose's removal from the Bridge would broaden Klopp's choices and jeopardise all the careful behind the scenes, hush hush discussions that had been going on for weeks.

How's that for a Machiavellian plot? :thinking:
