Letters From A Tory

Mixed feelings

September 20, 2007 · 2 Comments

Dear Jose Mourinho,

I was quite surprised to hear of your resignation as manager of Chelsea this morning, but the more I think about it the less surprising it seems.  Your relationship with Roman Abramovich has obviously been in a poor state for many months and this season hasn’t got off to a flyer (although you’re only a few points off the top of the Premiership).  Even so, you have brought unprecedented success to a club which until you arrived had spent considerable sums of money without making sufficient progress.  Your style of football has been a breath of fresh air to the Premiership and although I’m not a big fan of Chelsea as a club, your tactics and strategies have set new standards in this country and for that I’m very grateful.

Best wishes,

A.Tory

    Mourinho also brought many a press conference to light with his tongue in cheek statements and deadpan humour. Some people didn’t seem to get him, but I think he saw what football really is. Just a game.

    And he certainly loved the game, which is not always evident in some managers’ press conferences! As Alex Ferguson said, the Premiership is better with him in it.
