Poor Auld Jose

[localny]

It's not easy having billions worth of players at your disposal. It's not easy having Oscar and Hazard, two of Europe's finest young talents running your midfield show. It's not easy having the money to buy whomever you want from under the noses of your rivals like Willian and Salah.

It must be hard being a manager of such immense talents that your players keep letting you down, Eto, Torres, Demba Ba et al, it's not his fault his managerial genius won't make them tick.

As for Lukaku, who knew he would be so good elsewhere? Certainly not Jose's fault. Benitez left him with a threadbare esquad

Poor Auld Jose.

I don't think he was even chosen.

My sympathy goes to him. So much suffer...

Mourinho at Porto:

At Chelsea:

At Inter:

At Real Madrid:

A few years later:

Back in Chelsea:

In conclusion:

Real Madrid broke him.

He looks fucking miserable in that last photo. Like he's resigned to something he really doesn't want to do. He's holding that top like it's a soiled pair of trunks that some burglar has left behind after ransacking his house.

He certainly looks jaded , at least compared to the winning jose of 3 years ago.

Mind you, he will be fine whilst he's competing against the emaciated duo running city and arsenal , as both look like extras from the walking dead

 

[Best Believe It]

Has he got over not getting the Man Utd job? He also seems to be a mite pissed off he has to conform with FFP.

Superclevermindmentalist Jose's cunning motivation plan for his 3 strikers - tell them the're shit, over and over and over again - to everyone who will listen !

 

[cloggypop]

Fat meff

 

[Silver Sean]

He's a total twat.

 

[peterhague]

To be fair to him I'm not sure how he's supposed to compete for trophies without a completely perfect squad hand-picked by him to play his turgid style of football with limitless amounts of money.

Poor the Mou
" look, look, they've got more money than me 😢 how can I compete 😢 - I've only spent £115m this season 😢 "

Utter utter knobhead

That's not what he's doing though, he's trying to perpetuate a narrative whereby he is hamstrung by the shoddy resources left for him. He's absolving himself of blame and rather than call him out for it, the media here will lap it up.
