Jose
Jose Mourinho was hailed as the savour of English football when he arrived from European Champions Porto back in the summer, his style was a breath of fresh air and he was hailed by all, including the media who treated him as a God. But how things have changed, he has brought or should that be bought, Chelsea's first silver-wear, he is on top of the English Premiership, in the last eight of the European Cup and has a team of professional players who play for him. Now one would see this as testament to his managerial skills, but oh no, he has been successful and so the English press have gone into full reverse, now Mourinho is the devil incarnate.Now, forgive me if I am wrong but didn't Sir Alex make the same comments during his time at Manchester? Of course he did, when did you ever find anyone who was at the top of his profession be a kind hearted and friendly to all man type of human, the two don't go hand in hand. One has to be ruthless to reach the top, one has to be not afraid to walk all over everyone else to get to the top, to offend is part and parcel to get there and this is what Mourniho has done, he is a perfectionist, he wants and demands the best and I guess he sometimes oversteps the mark. SO why then do the media virafile him so much more than Ferguson? Well we all like the Scots, don't we, they are part of our isle, sorry to all our Scottish friends yes you are part of the the United Kingdom, don't worry we feel the same, but anyhow he is Scottish, he won the European Cup for a so called English club and so he must be a saint, dream on, as I mentioned before anyone who reaches the top of anything is certainly not a saint. And so to poor old Jose, why do they not like him, well he's not Scottish, he's Portuguese, and well they don't speak English, and they must be near France, give or take a few thousand miles, and if they are not near France then they are Europeans, and we all know what we think of Europeans at the moment don't we, they are French, aren't they? He speaks his mind, he is convinced that he is the best and that the Chelsea side he has put together is the best in the World, and at the moment who would argue with him, yes even you Manchester and Arsenal supporters would have to agree that Chelsea are far and away the best team in England and certainly the United Kingdom, if not after their demolition of Barcelona one of the best in Europe so surely that gives Mourinho the right to be slightly arrogant, of course it does, don't we all when we see a job well done? The main problem at the moment is that we are trying to steal the game back from the money grabbers to whom we gave it a number of years ago when it seemed like a great idea to sell the rights to Sky and the media empire of football rolled into town. Anyone who controls the media has control over its destination and so our football became like the American version, dictated to by money. Now we are trying to reclaim the beautiful game this arrogance cannot be tolerated, or so the media say for it takes away from what they can write. For years now journalists could hook up their season tickets to Old Trafford, sit in lavish executive seats and know that they would be at the centre of the attention for any comments would come from Sir Alex, and here they were ready and waiting. Then along came the French invasion of North London and so it worked that they could work closer from home every other week and Manchester the other but now, oh no they have to be near the river, North London and Manchester all at the same time and poor lads, how can they do it, ah by knocking one so hard that he is either forced out or leaves, and as he is not French, but Portuguese, and we have nothing against the Portuguese, he became an easy target but one feels the media might just have bitten off more than it can chew with Mourinho. So is he really Darth Vader in disguise or just someone who is at the top of his profession? well we all know the answer to that, and as for Sir Alex criticising referees, no never, least not for the last 10 minutes. And as is typical with the British Media, after they have built someone up to be a superstar once they are sucessful then lets see how quickly we can knock him down. Think of how many times this has happened in the past and I am sure will happen again in the future, so come on, don;t tell me you guys in the media wouldn't sell your granny for that scoop of the season for we all know you would, making you no more of a saint or devil than Jose Mourinho.
