Precisely! And Mourinho is great entertainment, childish and funny/stupid at the same time. Football needs characters like him. I can't see why we should have a problem with him.
He is indeed a character. A horrible one.
I find it bothersome that he's so successful.
Oh for fuck sake. The man's a cunt. Lets call a spade a spade.
Without disputing what's been said about Mourinho above, I'm convinced that part of what made him respond to Montse's remarks is the fact that, despite having the better career record overall, he's never forgiven Rafa for (a) getting the LFC job ahead of him, (b) then dumping him and his team out of the CL in two semi-finals and (c) clearly being not the slightest bit impressed with the whole Mourinho circus act.

He attracts morons to his hilarity.
Even when an interview is on the tv in the boozer it's usually the same fuckwits that find him funny.
The type of blokes who think a haircut is cheeky.

The type of blokes who think Helen Chamberlain is their ideal bird.
Should the entertainment not be Football itself?
Football doesn't need 'characters' like him, it's not the WWE! Football needs people who are winners agreed it needs people who take the game to higher level on the pitch not a lower level off the pitch.
Dreamy likes him.
That tells me all I need to know about him.
Yep he's a winner.
Me neither, lucky I didn't go to school with Brendan, Ryan or Skully.I wasnt
As was Sir Alex Ferguson. Doesn't make either of them any less of fucking bellends.
Childish.....
Obviously was bullied at school
Ferguson was just a bitter pr*ck, I don't believe Jose is and think there is a method behind all his remarks that's works very well for his teams on the pitch.
He's also shown he's capable of decent behaviour at times, e.g.shaking every Liverpool player's hand as the teams came off at Anfield after *that* semi-final in 2005, doing a fair bit for charity below the PR radar.
Truth is he's a mixture of the good, the bad and the ugly. .
I suppose so, but I always feel his 'good' gestures are no more than that - gestures. He does them in quotation marks. It's like a Thomas Hobbes joke. Take his 'tribute' to Gerrard last season: it went on and on and on until it turned into a tribute to himself. Then there's his 'It's not about me, it's about them' routine that sees him walk off the pitch and down the tunnel, leaving his players ignored on the pitch as all the cameras focus on him walking off it. Or his ostentatious throwing of his medal into the crowd - he'd probably do re-takes if he had some spares. He is always 'doing' magnanimity like a party piece. Whereas his nasty and gratuitous attack on innocent ambulance workers after the Cech injury showed, I think, the kind of person he is, and that's someone mainly bad and ugly.
What did he say about the ambulance workers after Cech's injury?
Now that is a cunty thing to do. It's one thing having a pop at other managers, at least they have the platform to have a go back.After the injury, Chelsea's doctor took twenty minutes before calling for an ambulance. Maureen knew that. The ambulance then took seven minutes to arrive. But afterwards he slaughtered the ambulence team for taking half an hour to get there, and then made all kinds of claims of incompetence that were completely unfounded. Then he suggested they should be sacked.
If a single incident could capture the essential Mourinho, then it was surely the way he behaved towards those dedicated public servants at the Madejski Stadium last October. You may recall the details: Chelsea'sgoalkeeper Petr Cech suffered a severe head injury following a collision with a Reading player. The paramedics treated him briskly and skilfully, but Mourinho later announced that Cech was: 'Thirty minutes in the dressing room, waiting for an ambulance . . . if my goalkeeper dies in that dressing room, it is something English football has to think about.' In fact, the ambulance had arrived within seven minutes and Cech was in hospital just 19 minutes later. In seeking to make a cheap and vengeful point against a football club, a man earning a total of around £10 million per year was willing to smear scrupulously efficient public service workers who were earninga basic salary of £19,166. Now, some might think that despicable, others would be less indulgent. But at a timewhen history is being rewritten, when we are being encouraged to lament the passing of a red-blooded character who lightened our lives with his chirpy chatter and gave not a fig for stale convention, we do well to remember the way he defamed those ambulance workers.
