It's not people's job to google things for you. It takes like two seconds to put "Mourinho wenger" into a search engine. All the results on the first page are about this.

The book is called Up Close And Personal. It's written by Rob Beasley who's had a close correspondence with Mourinho for years. By the sound of it, the quote about Wenger is far from the worst thing in there.

What's the name of the book?

So much for basic comprehension skills. The name of the book is clearly mentioned in the first post.

Remember when people insisted Mourinho isn't a massive cunt off the field and it was just mind games for the media? Good to know he is as charming off the field as he is on it.

Having said that though, I'd be lying if I didn't feel a tinge of sympathy for the bastard getting sold out by a guy he trusted for a bit of cash. I guess scum attract scum.

Think he has started his 'mind games' already tbh. All this 'delete my 16 years' seems to be a ploy to take criticism away from his players. He did that very well early in his chelsea career. Offcourse it has to coincide with his players delivering on pitch and performing just as he asks them to. 

He begrudges players for individual mistakes. I see Shaw quietly got the chop for Blind and didn't make the squad whiles all the focus was on Rooney. I know he had a minor injury but it was reported that he'd recovered. That's how Mourinho rolls. It will eventually unsettle the squad and they will stop playing for him like Hazard did last season.

Well if it was a ploy it hasn't worked at all. Even after a win the papers all have Rooney plastered on their back pages.

I thought this theory that Mourinho talks about himself to deflect criticism from his players has been thoroughly demolished last season. He talks about himself because he loves himself and hates everyone else. When he started throwing players under the bus at every club he's been was that also to protect them?

HE talked about himself when his teams were successful because he's a narcissist. He talks about his players when they lose because he's a cunt who doesn't like taking responsibility for his own failures.

I still believe in the theory. It does not mean he is NOT a narcissist. I think all top managers are to some extent narcissists. His problem is simply that his teams/results have not been able to match his talk. 

I don't buy the theory at all. The whole "siege mentality" stuff and distracting from the players has all been well and truly debunked in the last 12-15 months IMO.

Actually you guys could be right. It just looked so to me when he came out with the 16 years thing...

It was like that from day one. I thought his talk of being "the Special One" was a hint

Every time I see this thread title, I wonder why there is even a discussion.
