Blackwell v Mourinho

[Paulus]

Clearly Shield has been over-indulging on his expenses and sneaking too many sherberts at the team bar-b-q to have come up with this garbage.

Apart from being able to produce a list of room mates can anyone think of a single way in which the pair are remotely similar?

I dont remember Jose losing to Peterboro` - though to be fair to Blackwell even though the Interpreter can speak Portugeuse, Spanish, Italian and English, he cant talk bollocks like Blackwell

Blackwell isn't the clown some of you would make out...but Mourinoesque? Nah. Not even I would say it was close...


James Shields + Bovril = Bollocks
James Shields + Sangria = Complete Bollocks

I have to agree....how cheap as chips has landed a job with the salary he gets is beyond me

James Shield is not saying Blackwell is comparable with Mourinho as a manager - he's just saying that the two have similar ideas concerning rooming players together:

Blackwell's methods echo those employed by Jose Mourinho, Real Madrid's all-conquering coach, during his reign at Chelsea. The Portuguese left nothing to chance after inheriting a talented but fragmented squad.

Another case of twisting a story to have a go at KB, but who cares about facts...?

And it's Shield - not Shields by the way.

While the story may well not, the title does.

'Sheffield United boss Blackwell is Championship's 'Mourinho''

I hadn't noticed that - apologies. However, headlines are usually written by a sub-editor, so it may not be Shield's fault.

Mourinho and Blackwell both favour a style built first and foremost on defence.

Neither believe in entertainment as an end in itself.

Both like to play a big bloke up front on his own.

Both were nothing special as players.

Both have devilishly handsome Mediterranian looks and a wonderful tailor. *cough*

I had to cringe when I read the story, but to be fair JD, you're right they're sooo similar
