Mourinho out at Roma

[Moodybluebird]

It was all a bit of fun when he first came, but when he started blaming the ambulance service for not being prompt collecting Cech after the head injury and said he could have died because of it - and it emerged he lied about how long they'd taken - I lost all respect for him. It stopped being a pantomime then.

Probably the best (or worst) example there is of his behaviour being beyond contempt. A truly obnoxious individual.

Fair point. That and the physio incident. Forgotten about those. Football does have form for continuing to employ managers and players who would be finished in the real world for their behaviour in the workplace. Just us mere mortals get the kicking.

Oh no it didn't!

Oh and the time he had a proper go in public at the physio for doing her job too well.
Not a nice man at all.

Yeah think I remember that, he said something about her not understanding the game as he wanted to waste more time with whatever injury she was cheating (I think?).

Say it in the office if you really need to, but absolutely not to the media.


Edit: or was it that the player went down to waste time but then she went on to treat him so the player had to go to the touchline. That might be it...

That was the one. Well remembered.

Is the game really up for José Mourinho or could he morph into the Geordie One?
