Mourinho

[AFII]

Bascombe hasn't got much right since Moores left. Looks like he and the rest of the board took Bascombes sources with them.

anyone could come up with a story relating us to mourinho, in fact i'm surprised it's take till the sunday papers for it to happen, my belief in any insiders went out with cocktalk, somehow i doubt we'd sound him out in the space of a few days, just because a few toys have beenthrown out of the pram. Lets be honest who didn't think there's a chance mourinho would be a candidate if rafa was given the boot

Exactly. 2+2 = 5

He couldn't post anything before he knew the story was true because it could have potentially exposed who the information came from. Believe me. He knew this on Friday. He let the rest of us know about 3 hours before it came out.

seriously tho, anyone could make that up, it's too obvious for it to not be mentioned, i bet if you asked anyone who they think would be in the frame if rafa got the boot, then mourinho would be the first idea in many peoples heads

Sorry if I'm missing the pit but how could it have exposed who the story came from because he never knew if the story was true?

Not having a go, like...just curious.

FFF was told this by someone from within the club. He posted the info in the Management Room on 6CM only, well before it was even mentioned on Sky. Another poster on the site posted something earlier in the week stating that he'd been told by a separate source, again from within the club that news would break today. I'm not really arsed if you believe it or not to tell you the truth but from what I've seen and heard, I tend to believe there is some truth to it. This info didn't come from media sources.

If G&H had decided to sack Rafa, who else in the club would they even tell?

To be honest, mate, I don't disbelieve it and at the same time I don't believe it if that makes sense? Rumors fly around all the time and it's hard to guage whats cast iron and what's not.

I'll put this one down as a rumor rather than cast iron until I see something otherwise.

Fair play to your man though if this one turns out to be right.

Or leak to make him walk!

That's fair enough mate. We're just trying to give our point of view that we believe there is some truth to what could be quite a monumental decision by the Club.

Just what I was thinking, Syd.

I'm sure Rafa would have heard about it if people from with in the club were telling people about it, no?

It would be a huge decision but as I said i another post, surely Rafa would have caught wind of this?

And again I don't mean that to sound as if I'm having a go. I just think that if it's common knowledge he would have heard something.

Maybe he does know so he's going down fighting!

[AFII]

Parry and Foster probably. They are probably the only ones because Rafa don't even seem to know himself that he has been sacked, if he has been that.

The story is utter crap anyway. The article says that they made the decision before what happened this week and they told Rafa that they would meet him in the middle of next month this week.

That doesnt make sense though.

If he heard that he was going to be sacked, surely he'd stick it out for £6m.

[kurtangle01]

He wouldn't walk. At least I don't think so.

If Rafa does go though how many players would want out?

[kurtangle01]

That doesnt make sense though.

I would wait and take the money and I'm sure anyone else would.

Yep. Like the ****s on SSN after the Croatia game asking Mclaren if he was going to offer his resignation. Well of course he ****ing isn't, he's getting the boot in the morning and a cheque for a few mill, I doubt he's arsed about resigning and missing out on millions to "save some pride"
