Chelsea fan Baddiel predicts Mourinho's career at MUFCpublished at 17:11 BST 27 May 2016
BBC Radio London
Chelsea fan David Baddiel has given his reaction to Jose Mourinho’s move to Manchester United.
He told BBC Radio London’s Maria McErlene: "Mourinho will do very well for a couple of years and then he will get very cross about something and everything will go wrong.
That’s my absolute shot in the dark for what might happen with Mourinho because it’s what’s happened every other time.
The former Fantasy Football League presenter went on to say: I very much like Mourinho. When he first came to Chelsea in 2004/5, before he started playing the very negative football that he went on to play, he actually didn’t play that to begin with and he was incredibly exciting and he’s done lots of brilliant stuff for the club.
"I just think when things go wrong for Jose, which they have done on occasion, he doesn’t tend to change what he’s doing or responds to thing.
"He just decides “no, everyone hates me, everyone else is wrong” and then things don’t get any better."
