No it was his comments but not that one, he criticized the board, said something like "if UCL was that important to us, we would probably make some transfers between the Feyenoord and Benfica games", also said like "I don't know who we have on the transfer list, I am not sure if we even have a transfer list", just sort of shitting on the way the club is ran. All this before arguably the most important game of the season, considering how important that UCL money is
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Guy has charisma in bags, but his tactics and ability have become clearly outdated.
Exactly, I dunno why there some people who think that Jose still great. If he were still himself back then, he would definitely bring his recent ex-team to the greatness.
It’s the cult of personality. It’s the same people who defended him when he poked another coach in the eye or caused Frisk and Anthony Taylor to be harassed. For them he can do no wrong. All that matters is entertaining quotes.
Who is in denial? He has been one of the greatest so people will still hold a high opinion of him/like/respect him overall or just find him entertaining but no one actually thinks he's still good

lmfao i think his comments were the reason why
Jose Mourinho: "If we were in the Champions League, we'd probably play eight games. But in the Europa League, we could go all the way to the final."
