On Saturday afternoon, a radio journalist was called into a room, alone, and confronted by six men. During the confrontation that followed, shouts audible on the other side of the wall, Mourinho insisted: "In football, I'm top; in journalism, you're shyt."

Yeah that...that just doesn't look good on the resume.

maybe the english press dont need to have someone sucking them off all the time
its the opposite in England. They love when managers suck them off and give those guys more leeway and even get them jobs at some clubs.

On the sunday supplement the journos actually spoke about the revisionist history on Jose 'Special' relationship with the press in this country. They talked about Jose has always been like this, its not just in Italy and Spain and thaat he would contantly ban people for 6 weeks at a time when he had the hump with someone but some how this image of Jose being lovely dovely with our press has stuck.

nah the English press just care about results. Thats why mourinho got along so well with the press in England. And He gave them a lot of materials to write. Even though he could be jerk, the results shielded him from heavy criticism.

In italy and spain in particular, the press cares more about tactics and style of play. See how Robson was treated Catalonia press even though he won trophies?

its not about results because some awful managers get mentioned for good jobs despite their records.

Its def about him giving them a lot of material to write. Italy care about those tactics, and Spain want the team to play a certain style. In England its all about getting chummy and giving good soundbites.

How fukkin old are you the, if u can remember Bobbys reign in Spain?

Tbh, it was probably more to do with Bobby not speakin a lick of Spanish and his English 442 even tho it was more of a 4231 especially after they had all those years of Cruyffs dream team beforehand.

hence "tactics and style of play" :ld: . I've seen documentaries on Robson's time at Barcelona which included accounts from players who were there.
