I'm telling you he wants out.
He wants them to throw the book at him so he can say he had to leave.

I suspect you might be right.

I am 99.9% sure that Mourinho won´t be at Madrid for too much longer after last night.

Maybe after failing to beat Barca as Real Madrid manager (apart from Copa Del Reyes) he´s decided that he´s had enough.

If so then he´s gone down in my estimation because surely a manager of Mourinho´s ability would relish the challenge of trying to topple Barca - especially with the players that Jose has at his disposal at Madrid.

Mourinho has always been a very bad loser but I always thought him a great character for the game but he reached a whole new reprehensible level with his rant after their CL elimination last season where he attacked Guardiola's achievements and made the silly Unicef remark. It also reflects on his playes who -even considering Barca's dark arts- are always hyper-aggressive and on edge threatening to erupt.

Jose is only telling it how it is.Barca are favoured by UEFA and are a disgrace.
Well done Jose,should have used the 2 finger stab though.

And his pressure on refs against Barca works big time cos I often wonder how the likes of Pepe and Ramos get away with all they do.

Ive always admired Mourinho, in that he says what he thinks and doesn't worry about media pressure

Mourinho is an illness that football has to cure.

Mourinho's behaviour yesterday was disgraceful. He' s stoked up the rivalry sooo much that it's always likely to erupt at the smallest thing. Mourinho once stated "the best way to beat Barca is to get in their face on and off the pitch, make them uncomfortable" The reality is that Barca have cowed Mourinho's Madrid and it is them that have become uncomfortable.

Maybe he does want out, I for one would not want him back at chelsea, as good a manager as Mourinho is, we do not need his sort of poisonous atmosphere back in the club.

I fully agree.

After last night I think that many of Europe´s top sides will be giving Mourinho a wide berth if/when he becomes available.

Maybe Man City would take him as they´ll be desperate to win the title after Mancini fails to win it this season.

He does create a really poisonous atmosphere and creates bitterness. Barca are no saints but Madrid combine Barca's theatrics with great cynicism and aggression.

OP
I don't care about Spanish football but in European competition it is Barca who are destroying it.There diving,cheating and theatrics are the worst I've ever seen.Add to that how UEFA cherry pick refs for them and it's a disgrace unmatched.

Im one of Jose's biggest fan's but any-one who can defend what he did last night needs their head testing.

Unless Tito said something earlier on it looks like a complete random and unprovoked attack.

TBF this is getting blown a bit out of porportion. Managers like Sam Allardyce and Tony Pulis do far more to damage the game than Mourinho does
----------------

Managers like Allardyce and Pulis do what they do because they have limited resources. Mourinho does exactly what Pulis and Allardyce do but with world class players. He gets away with it becuase he is successful but he is not great manager, but you could argue that Pulis and Allardyce have also been relatively successful with Stoke (FA Cup final) and Bolton (5th in the league).

Mourinho has no idea how to built a team as he 's not been in a job longer than 3 years. If he was to do so he would get found out.

....'as good a manager as Mourinho is, we do not need his sort of poisonous atmosphere back in the club.'

Too true.

Never was a true football man - it's all about his ego.

OP's point - Barcelona the great darlings of the media - we all know they're pretty cynical too.
