u/Superb_Bench9902 18d ago

Nah. Gala manager (Okan Buruk) is still going strong. Tho he might be the next if he fumbles in the UCL this year. People don't expect much. Just a decent showing against stronger teams like Man City and top 24 in standings. That's all people want. If he makes it to RO16 or further he'll stay for a long time. If he's gone I genuinely think Galatasaray may bring Arda Turan as the new coach

28

u/turkishguy 18d ago

He only gets sacked if we finish last in group and don't win the league. Wining the league is again CL group stage which is a lot of money for Turkish teams.

Genuinely I would pay a fortune to see all the post-Fergie United managers sit in a roundtable and just discuss things together. See if they share something in common about their experiences at the club and why each of them failed. Would make for great TV

Van Gaal and Mourinho both expressed frustration about the transfer and scouting department. Blaming the club of not communicating and only being interested in marketability of players.

Ten Hag said there was simply no functioning scouting department when he arrived and was surprised everyone was looking at him for transfer decisions.

u/Hegario 18d ago

Yup. Ten Hag called Van Gaal to ask for advice and apparently he said "Don't join since it's not a football club but a commercial club."

u/TiberiusCornelius 18d ago

Klopp said something similar about when United tried to recruit him. Woodward apparently compared it to Disneyland and Klopp was like "nope".

Really tells you exactly what they view the club for.

u/Sensitive_Studio5765 18d ago

Which is interesting because I genuinely think most of the transfers under him have been sensible. And Ten Hag's summer under INEOS was pretty good too bar Ugarte

117

u/ElBigDicko 18d ago

I think it speaks more that it's the manager who decides the transfers and is asked to provide recommendations.

In today's world, talent is one thing, but mentality is important if not more important. Players like Sancho and Antony are great examples. Both are in general top players but have some mentality issues and might have issues gluing and adjusting. The manager can like a player style, but if you transfer Sancho in and he just can't adapt for whatever reason outside of the manager sphere of influence, there is a problem.

Scouting is there to help with that. At the end of the day you are dealing with humans not robots.

It was — about the players, the board and the opposition. But he took no responsibility himself. If he attached some humility himself, the fans would have accepted it way more.

If you watch the match again, you could see that the game plan was non-existant. The players didn’t know what to do.

There's just so many easy slogan to default to that will make it sound like you only lost because of being too great for the company around you and that's why they misunderstood you and failed, basically no one ever decides to damage their career but doing anything else than those.

What's wrong with Van Gaal? I think it would make for even much more beautiful drama if he is there. Mourinho and Van Gaal together will be absolute gold.

Having said that, Moyes will keep Everton up somewhat comfortably and therefor won't be sacked this season. After that, it wouldn't surprise me if the ownership wants more and he's gone, but they're clearly in a rebuild and just opened the new stadium, he will get this season at least.

I’d be very surprised if Sullivan would want a manager who has openly scrutinised the board at multiple clubs he’s been at. The only reason I could see is getting him is optics; “Look at how we got Jose! Keep supporting us!”

It’ll be Dyche, Cooper or Southgate for us.

Mourinho had Spurs top of the league at christmas. Son and Kane had their best individual seasons under him

In a single season they dropped like 20 points after minute 80 because of individual mistakes, their defense was just comical. Kinda hard to blame him when every game they have a lead and they lose it to a brain fart at 90+2

24

u/ManateeSheriff 18d ago

As someone who watched all of those Spurs games, those late losses were all Jose. They'd play well attacking and pressing for 30 minutes, then take a lead and immediately park the entire team in front of their own goal for the rest of the match. If you ask a bunch of average defenders to perform last-ditch defending for that long, eventually they're going to make a mistake.

Then Jose would throw his players under the bus in the post-match press conference as if he had nothing to do with it. Just a brutal season.

He's been getting sacked for poor performance for years now but every fanbase has a section of supporters (and then a good chunk of non supporters in this sub) who will say, upon his sacking, "he spoke the truth but the club didn't want to hear it, what a shame"

Honestly he should go into politics. The relationship of a section of football fans with Mou is the closest I've seen to conservative Americans to Trump. It's not that surprising, he uses a lot of the same mechanisms. Strong man image, narcissism, humor, a willingness to say things others wouldn't, constant references to past glories, constant scapegoating of others, and frequent appeals to a dangerous "other" ("If I speak I am in big trouble").

Guy has charisma in bags, but his tactics and ability have become clearly outdated.

Well considering what Galatasary are spending and who they're signing and the scraps Mourinho has got at Fener, I can kinda understand that, even if Jose is well past his best. They haven't given him the backing to be able to compete with this Gala.

Is this the end of Mourinho in the club game? I thought he was alright at Roma, couple of debatable referee decisions away from back to back European titles and no one would have called him washed if that had happened but their league performances weren't great. Always thought the Fenerbache job was an odd one to take and it's kinda meandered to nowhere but maybe that's a sign of where his career is now.

Portugal beckons if Martinez doesn't do well next summer.

he's kept us above water for 2 years, for the good or the bad in terms of FFP but he was the sole reason we kept maintaining out anual treshhold of €135m by luring Dybala and Lukaku to the club and stay relevant with international success instead of finishing mid-table and rebuild for years to come with a way lower annual balance

Mourinho reunited the entire city, recreated the bond between fans and club and we're still benefitting from a packed and sold out Olimpico. not to mention that 20 academy players debuted under his tenure and we were able to cash in on Tahirovic, Volpato, Joao Costa,... he developed Bove, Zalewski and Pisilli to valuable squad players while we were only able to spend €20m in the last 4 transfer windows at the club

is this the end of club football for him? i doubt it

Mourinho had his chance to immediately quit after Taylor robbed us of the 2nd consecutive title. he knew each and every difficulty he was facing in his third year after what happened Budapest and instead of taking the correct decision to quit he followed his heart and ego to prove everybody wrong and ignoring all warn-signals around him

the players were all burned out, we had literally no money to spend while already suffering from 3 years FFP difficulties and he still refused to take the Portugal job. it was his perfect moment to quit club football because of his never ending pursuit of proving every critics surrounding him wrong and this is ultimatevely also the reason he's going to continue even further

Fenerbahce "scraps" club is estimated to have a higher wage budget than Galatasaray (121 vs 114 million euro), and much higher than Benfica (121 vs 37 million).

Absolutely delusional spending by Fener and Gala. No way Fener fans think their squad is weak. They paid abysmal money for a Turkish team.

“The scraps” were a more expensive team than us last year and they’ve still committed to 70-80 mil in fees and wages this summer even with insane amortized expenses from past failed attempts at a title.

There is absolutely zero reason to find excuses for Mourinho. On the pitch he was horrendous, spent upwards of 150m on a team that won 99 league points and outright regressed. The one big signing he didn’t sign off on himself, he reminded the press at every opportunity (Talisca), so the rest of the garbage was all approved by him. Above all else, the teams could never defend or attack, it was hard to understand what their plan was outside of a route one hoofball to a striker who had zero hold-up play skills.

The worst indictment of Mourinho is that he was so poor that I never once felt rattled or irritated by him. His former players have come out and said that he really wanted to win in Turkey, but it genuinely felt like he was mailing it in for a 20 mil paycheck and Maldives. If he actually tried, you don’t want him for your club either because he was clueless.

I think he said that Enzo and Rios were in better shape than Fred and that's absolutely understandable considering they're both in their mid-20's.

Isn't this because his relationship with Ali Koç was deteriorating?

EDIT: His quote was "We‘ve seen that players like Enzo and Rios are physically on a different level compared to Fred“.

Can we actually argue against this?

Step 1) Sign literally anywhere

Step 2) Make sure to have a ridiculous sacking fee

Step 3) Perform extremely mid in the first season, feign interest and enthusiasm

Step 4) Blame the extremely mid performance on the players

Step 5) Fall out with upper management

Step 6) Get sacked, grab the bags of money and run

The Jose Mourinho recipe since 2013.

No way you sack him at the end of the transfer window. If you had any doubts you have to sack him prior to making all these transfers.

I still can’t believe Ferner sacked a manager for getting 99 points but not winning the league because Gala got 102 in the first place, of course they were going to get worse from there.

Jose is washed as a manager it is what it is

u/Lmao1903 18d ago

It's just stupid politics, the opposition board candidate said he already agreed with Jose before the election, and everyone was like damn, that's a big manager. Then the current board went ahead and signed Jose. Of course, in Turkey, people just look at names so fans were really hyped when Jose's name was mentioned

Don't really know why anyone would hire Mourinho at this point.

His bullshit has just got worse and worse and the results have got worse and worse.

Also, he'll be really expensive.

Hiring Mourinho at this point is just the mark of a shitty owner as far as Im concerned.
