Jose Mourinho appears to have entered the “final scene of Scarface” portion of his second stint with Chelsea after yet another loss, this time going down 3-1 at home to Southampton. After the match, he worked a medley of his greatest hits into a lengthy response to his interviewer’s one and only question to him.
Starting with the classic, “The referees are afraid to give decisions to Chelsea” and then moving to “I want to make it clear, 1) I don’t run away. 2) If the club wants to sack me, they have to sack me, because I’m not running away from my responsibility, from my team, and from my conviction. […] I am more than convinced that we finish top four. […] Third, I think this is a crucial moment in the history of this club, you know why? Because if the club sacks me, they sack the best manager that this club had. And secondly, the message is again the message of bad results, the manager is guilty.”
Just watch the whole video above and keep reminding yourself that this was all one answer to a single question!
Chelsea now sit 16th in the Premier League table with four losses in their first eight matches.
This is a fantastic “interview” and props to the reporter for just allowing Mou to ramble on in full tilt, crazy mode.
@Aaron Albright, that’s hilarious. Hahahahhaha…full tilt crazy mode. hahahaha.
I’m shocked that Roman hasn’t fired him yet. I mean, RA got rid of him for not winning 3 straight games the season after Chelsea won both the FA Cup and the Carling Cup. Hell, Roberto DiMatteo got sacked after WINNING the Champions League and the FA Cup. So what’s stopping Roman now?
I think a big part of it might be that he doesn’t have many viable alternatives at the moment. No way would Ancelotti go back and I think Klopp would be wary too. Beyond that, who is worth more of a gamble than Mourinho?
That makes sense, but when has sense ever stopped Roman? Yeah, Carlo would have much better sense than to subject his eyebrow to that again. Klopp is kinda crazy but looks possibly headed to Liverpool.
Hey, maybe Sven-Goran Eriksson is available? (Really wish my keyboard could do umlauts – I love me a good umlaut.)
There is no one available right now who can replace Mourinho. Firing Mourinho could make things even worse for Chelsea
