TheCable

Please let me declare my bias upfront. I am not a fan of Jose Mourinho. 

Not from Day One when I first noticed him bundling Manchester United out of the Champions League in 2004. While I was delighted at the Old Trafford humiliation of that club that used to be big, I had no time for the riff raff riding roughshod over them. 

Many atrocities later, I still have not a single positive emotions towards him. My writing is littered with what I think of him. And by the way, he is still riding roughshod over that once illustrious football club.

If it turns out that Jose Mourinho is the 2nd coming of the Messiah, I will proudly go to hell fire. It will be more pleasurable than gaining salvation through Jose. 

I am sure you have had your feel with not only the trouncing of Manchester United in their front room during the derby. 

I am sure you have also witnessed the bullying in the 88th minute or thereabout when a frustrated Ashley Young tired of being ‘dicked’ about by the City Players violently kicked Raheem Sterling.

I hope the FA are looking into that violent conduct and will at least give Ashley an extended ban. Behaviors like that have no place in football. He could easily have ruined Raheem Sterling’s career. 

Anyway. Why am I writing this? 

Definitely not to rehash Jose’s hypocrisy. I believe he relishes being referred to as an hypocrite.

I listened to a BBC Recording of Jose’s interview pre Bournemouth match and read his comments and I haven’t stopped laughing.

How much more will the suits at Old Trafford tolerate before putting down this vile man?

Do the Manchester United Board understand the reputational risk this man inflicts on their publicly quoted company? In fact, I should tweet the New York and London Stock Exchanges on this issue.

If you haven’t seen Jose’s interview, here is a link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/42325762

As a bonus, Pep Guardiola’s response to Sunday’s incident is presented side by side.

In my opinion, Pep is very open with his answers and has the air of someone who is confident his team and him personally have done nothing wrong.

On the other hand, Manchester United especially the Taliban like lady chaperoning Jose Mourinho during the press conference came across as the side with something to hide.

Shame. Jose and his players hid on the hallowed turf of Old Trafford and proceeded to do the same post match and now the whole club is hiding. BIG SHAME

The comments Jose made that I want to focus on is as follows: “The only thing I can say is that for me it was just a question of diversity; diversity in behaviours, diversity in education – just that, and nothing more.”

I am actually gobsmacked. Forget hypocrisy. Forget malevolence. Jose effing Mourinho talking about diversity. WOW WOW WOW 

Is he aware the ‘N’ word was trending in Manchester just after the derby as Man U fans frustrated at the lame performance of their manager and players proceeded to racially abuse Romelu Lukaku online?  

Does he realize that disgusting Man U fans show no understanding of diversity by continually singing about Lukaku and his king size bollocks and their repugnant song about Wenger?

Jose’s other comments about education are actually risible.  What is this world turning into?

Jose Translator Mourinho!

Jose Note Taker Mourinho!

Jose PE Teacher!

Jose Don’t Give Foolish Person Success Mourinho!

Questioning Man City players’ education? What wont we see?

A team comprising of Kevin De Bruyne who studied Latin in school and speaks four languages. His mum was born in Africa and is grand dad was an Oil Industry exec. So much diversity and education in one person.  

Not to forget Vincent Kompany who is studying at Manchester Business School and already owns a 3rd division club in Belgium.

Compared with the riff raff that is Jose and his collection of thugs and never do wells like Rojo, Fellaini, Valencia, Pogba etc 

United will do well to cut Jose lose.

As many have predicted. It can only end in Sour Milk & Watery Tears.
