The media in Turkey have made the feelings clear on Jose Mourinho amid strong reports he has his eyes on a Premier League return.
Mourinho took the reins at Fenerbahce in the summer, penning a two-year deal and aiming to usurp rivals Galatasaray and win the Turkish Super Lig.
Fenerbahce, who made a flurry of new signings in the summer, are currently third in the league - five points off Galatasaray after 10 games.

Mourinho's men suffered a first defeat in the Europa League on Thursday night, losing 3-1 to AZ Alkmaar at the AFAS Stadion.
It came following a 3-2 win over Trabzonspor, where Mourinho blasted the standard of officiating in Turkey and that "nobody abroad" wants to watch the football in the country.
He will serve another touchline ban and has been fined $25,000 for his remarks.
After the defeat in Alkmaar, where Mourinho was in the stands as a punishment for his antics against Manchester United, commentator Gurcan Bilgic said that "Fenerbahce looked hopeless” in the game.
As per Turikye Today, he also stated that it proved to be a valuable lesson for Mourinho, who the reporter believes hasn't got the best of the team yet.
But while Mourinho only joined Fenerbahce in June, new reports on Friday say he is eyeing up another stint in English football.
The Guardian reports that Mourinho, who has managed Chelsea, United and Spurs, feels he has unfinished business in the Premier League and sees the Newcastle United job as the perfect opportunity in the even Eddie Howe departs.
Mourinho has asked to be kept informed of any developments at Newcastle, having met and socialised with the club's chairman Yasir al-Rumayyan at the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix back in March.
Howe has been in the Newcastle job for three years and is not any immediate pressure, although he is not believed to have long-term job security.
