With the notable exception of one special special manager....
When TOF wants to spend, we back him. When he doesn't we keep quiet

After all the sly comments made by mourinho to wenger about being a specialist of failure and the lack of trophies etc..., wenger must look at the table and think I've never been 1 point from the relegation zone after 16 matches. Hazard just hasn't been the same since the doctor Eva incident, he must've have lost a lot of respect for jose the moment he (jose) slagged her off for treating him (hazard) in the opening game of the season. If they are in the bottom 3 Christmas day , it will really make the season worthwhile.
I think that it is fair to see the moaninho's time with the chavs is coming to a less than gracious end - we all know that he will get another (possibly) top job, but I still don't think that he has any idea of the harm his behaviour will have done to his rep across the footballing world. The treatment of the chelski doctor and his comments about his players Monday night (way, way too far imo), might make other clubs a bit more hesitant to employ him or at the very least they might insist on a behaviour clause in his contract (I know I would). How happy would the players of any club be if they heard that he was gonna be their new manager ? At the first sign of trouble he would rubbish the players abilities and say that he made them look better than they are, and no top player will accept that being said about them.
The only way any of this bothers me is that his departure will spark a merry go around which will result with us being left with le cock as our long term manager, or worse still being left with a le cock appointment manager and le cock running the club from the boardroom Pep is more than likely heading towards citeeh (although it wouldn't surprise me if he stayed at Bayern) and ancelotti would probably replace him - that means that it looks very likely that within 6-8 months klopp, pep and ancelotti will have all moved clubs and that would leave no top manager available. IF le cock finally fcuks off at the end of his current contract, none of those managers will be available unless they totally balls up at their new clubs
The incident with Hazard the other night sums up the complete breakdown of relations between manager and players at the club.
Hazard goes down injured, physio comes on, signals that a sub needs to be made, Jose turns to the bench and tells Pedro to get stripped, Hazard limps towards the side-line, Pedro is standing there ready to come on, the graphic comes up on Sky saying the sub has been made. Then Maureen has a quick word with Hazard and on he goes again!
He barely makes it 2 yards on to the pitch when the ball is passed in his direction, he makes a half hearted attempt to control it, throws his arms up in the air, turns around and walks straight down the tunnel without even glancing at the manager.
Wanted him to stay around, so he could drag them further down, but delighted for the arrogant wanker. What a horrible, nasty piece of shit he is. Zero class about him, and hope he leaves England and never comes back.
