When he emphasises MY club and OUR history, oh my days.

I'm dripping like a fucked fridge.

Something something, 'we is us' ... :cautious:

He's saying all the right things - but he's not stupid, he knows how many will be upset that Poch is gone and will want to get fans on his side quickly...

Best way of doing that is smashing West Ham this weekend...

Completely surreal, weird, wrong, but can't help but feel inspired by his words, hopeful of an exciting future. I think the players will definitely buy into his ideas, at least in the short term

God, that's so scripted/forced about young players
At least the club clearly understand what a lot of the fans are thinking... But we've all heard this shit before from him at other clubs. He's an excellent talker.... As if Chelsea didn't have an embarrassment of quality young players when he was there.

Other people can buy it. I'm not, for now at least. See what happens over the next calendar year, he'll get us playing this season at least.

The youth bit felt forced as it was like he was having to explain why he hasn't used youth previously and considering the youth players that Chelsea/United have brought and are bringing through I'm inclined to feel like it wasn't a good excuse. Other than that I'm very hopeful, he was right when he said he's always spoke highly of our squad.

What young players have we got coming through right now?, because as far as I know we only have Parrot and Skipp, Tanganga maybe good enough but he'll need a year away on loan. Can't wait for the narrative that Jose is killing the kids even though Poch wasn't exactly blooding them but in all honesty I don't think they're good enough for first team football yet.

If the youth players arent good enough then they wont be played under him. Im not now expecting players like KWP to be amazing because poch is gone. The reality is looking at our youth players, only 1-2 have a chance thats tanganga and skipp.

Really nice to hear some positive words coming from the coaching staff, even if it may mostly be vetted by PR and scripted. Feels like it's been a while; put a smile on my face.

Your boss is not everyone. If a manager runs a team or company that does not fit you then leaving is an option.

Doesn't necessarily the manager is a bad boss or employee as having a poor character.

When you work for a company you represent the company, not your boss, when you sign a contract at work, you sign a company contract not your bosses contract, when you attend any external events or meetings you represent your company not your boss, when you deal with internal and external clients you represent your company not your boss.

I dont even think this is a good comparison, but it serves its purpose.

Is it just me or was there some ITK years back, that DL/JL were big on Mourinho and were close with him? I swear I remember reading something like that.

Does KWP count :LOL:.

My biggest concern would be sessegnon. Possibly even Ndombele as a young player I still feel he's developing.

I think Levy tried to get him in 2007, but Chelscum added a clause to the compensation saying he can't join another English club within 2 years.

We've also got KWP who apparently is behind Sissoko in the pecking order for his own position. Still hope it comes good for him.

Skipp I've seen nothing of interest from, ever, but Poch seemed to like him.

Parrott we obviously need to keep hold of and nurture, same as Foyth.

At least 2 of the above would almost certainly benefit from a few loans to the lower leagues, let's hope Jose actually does that while he gets the more senior players back on track.
