LDN Blue 7,903 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Don't see how getting the best coach in the world would be a step back, this isn't relationships we're talking about. If he was offered after Carletto I'd take him in a heartbeat.Agreed, after Carlo it would be good. However because of the long-term vision & aims of André, it would seem the most the extraordinary of decisions to try and bring Mourinho back to the Bridge.Though I do wonder how many would actually complain if Mourinho did come to usurp him..

manpe 10,861 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 the truth is he would be taken back only for sentimental reasons, in his mind he's already departed Chelsea long time ago and we must stick with AVB, because he has our future in mind and has everything to prove. and I'm ejoying the image AVB is giving our club, Jose would destroy that and everybody would start hating us again. plus Jose doesn't favour joga bonito what our board is trying to achieve, AVB does.

Ramzi 233 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I thought he said Manchester Utd would be the pinnacle of his career awhile back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teignman 441 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 My take on the potential suitors for Jose's services:Arsenal- The cost of buying out his contract and salary will put them off.Spuds- see ArsenalManUre- Sir Phallux will be in charge for the next 3 years. If Jose wants to cool his boots on moving, I could see this move happening in 3 years' time.Bin Dippers- I think the price tag could be off-putting, but not prohibitive. However, the issues of putting Queen Kenny out to pasture are a bit more difficult. The NESV brass are working hard to cultivate a solid relationship with the supporters, and sending the 'ol queen packing unceremoniously could be quite detrimental to this pursuit. I wouldn't say Jose going to the land of the hubcap thieves is impossible, but it's not likely, at least in the next year or maybe 2.That leaves us with the parvenu Manchester club. Heaven knows they've got the dosh to spend on buyouts, salary, etc. Mancini would seem to have some job security with their current position in the league and progress this season. However, if Citeh severely falter down the stretch (something I don't see happening), Mancini will be out faster than you can say Jack Robinson. Thus leaving Mourinho to come in. Now matter how much the simple-minded supporters of Citeh sing "Mancini, whooooa", they probably know that Mancini is a decent enough manager, but not a great one. Mourinho would be a definite improvement.Us- Been there, done that. Nuff said.Bottom line is, I don't see him leaving Real after this season. It would take something extraordinary for that to happen. Frankly, I don't want him back in the PL. He would strenghten one of our rivals, and I prefer our rivals to have whinging Frenchmen that fancy frail youth, ruddy complected costermongers that run afoul of the revenuers, or aging former star players that don bin liners in cold weather and enjoy paying far over the odds for mediocre talent at the helm of these teams.

Ollie 4,400 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Just watched 'Football's Greatest' about Jose Mourinho. He's just such a legend, i love him and i'll never, ever say i don't want him back and i'll never forget what he brought to our club. There's not a manager like Jose on this planet, he is the best, plain and simple. His man management skills are amazing, he so close to his people. No matter what happens i'm proud that he managed the club i love. He's 100% gonna come back to England, it will be interesting to see JM vs AVB, that is for sure.

capriccioso 2,545 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I LOVE Arsenal's poor run of late (amid their immense stroke of luck against Villa tonight), but I fear Arsenal might snatch him to replace Wenger if he ever got sacked!I doubt that. They're too stingy for his liking, and he'd undo all the work Wenger has done. It would take him ages to build a squad that he wants, and I don't think José likes to do things that require many seasons work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluephoenix 1,131 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I would have loved to see him if he had given this "Return to England" a thought a season ago... but really clever of him .. wants Chelsea fc when he knows he can restart Project Mourinho with us. He will get to choose the talents he wants ... do what he did couple of years ago. But sadly or fortunately now Chelsea FC is setting itself up for Project Villas Boas -- Hopefully if the club doesn't fire him and fans actually put their trust in him and give him the time he duly deserves KTBFFH !

Tomo 21,751 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Considering AVB worked with Jose for 7 years he will surely know what makes Jose tick, so if AVB cannot get the better of him i doubt anyone can.I love Jose for everything he has done for club, the way he got us playing with confidence bordering on arrogance that made us unstoppable for 2 season's, the way he csme in and saw off Arsene Wenger (who has been making our lives hell for nearly a decade) was legendary.But the big advantage Jose had over AVB is Jose inherited a squad that only needed a few players to make it complete, the squad AVB inherited needed a complete overhaul, if Jose came in a year earlier would he have stopped Arsenal right away in 03/04?Lets just remember just how good Porto were under AVB last season, when AVB has a squad full of players to suit his style whats to say he cant do the same for us?Just try and imagine how gutted we would be if AVB got sacked for Jose , AVB replicated his Porto success for some one else and Jose's return didn't have the desired affect?

GodZola 630 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Don't see how getting the best coach in the world would be a step back, this isn't relationships we're talking about. If he was offered after Carletto I'd take him in a heartbeat.My thoughts entirely, i made it patently clear that Jose would be my number one choice when we were doing our utmost best to get Hiddink, unfortunately it was never going to happen.Just watched 'Football's Greatest' about Jose Mourinho. He's just such a legend, i love him and i'll never, ever say i don't want him back and i'll never forget what he brought to our club.

However because of the long-term vision & aims of André, it would seem the most the extraordinary of decisions to try and bring Mourinho back to the Bridge.This is why AVB must be given time to see through his project, he has always maintained that it is a 3 year one - those of us that are patient can see it is going to take time to turn it around, that's not to say that i am entirely happy with his performance to date but we are going in the right direction.One thing i will add is that only Jose has survived the sack after not winning the PL and he only lasted a couple of months! So its not inconceivable that Roman could get trigger happy again, its not what i think will happen as i believe AVB has his backing and they have probably talked about their objectives at length that has a list of targets to be met in a 3 year plan to get us back where we belong. However if we finish out of the top 4 and Jose is available.....................just saying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluephoenix 1,131 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 However if we finish out of the top 4 and Jose is available.....................just saying! doubt it !I think the guys at Ethihad would lure him ... thats the only likely destination I see that he might land his foot ! Arsenal -> no chance, Mourinho knows he wont get the players he wants Chelsea -> Doubt it [if its true that the club is willing to give AVB time]Manchester United-> I don't think Ferguson would want to leave the clubSo that leaves us with just one club that has money, some quality players and which can feed Mourinho's arrogance -- Manchester City Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After Chelsea, Inter was already winning serie A with a good squad assemble by Mancini, and then Mounrinho got the couple of players and bang. Now with Madrid, a great squad assemble by Pellegrini, and bang.Not to take anything from Mourinho as he is a great coach, but I can clearly see where you are coming from.If he would take City it would be the same. A good squad built by Mancini and then bam!A real project that will take him 3 season would be Arsenal or Liverpool....3 season, well the same time frame AVB was hired for.

cujo101 75 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I heard Spanish football journo Graham Hunter on Talksport this morning (sorry I know) and he was talking about his likely destination if he was to come back to England and his response was 'Chelsea.' He said that RA and JM have built bridges and are in regular contact. He also said JM and AVB had a real falling out and that JM would seriously consider returning to SB.Of course, this could all be BS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santiago. 1,500 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 IMO, likely for Mourinho to go to Tottenham, Redknapp to England, and Benitez to MadridIf he does go to our Rivals, it would be a massive dick slap to Chelsea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warnie_666 1,081 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 The only club he will go to is Man City that is if Mancini blows his chance to win the title.Man Utd---Sir Alex said he is good for 3 yearsArsenal---Could be a possibility if they finish in top 4. Budget isnt a problem for them as the board said they have the money to buy big but its against Wenger's policyChelsea---AVB is given full reign to build a squad for future and they have paid 13m to get him. No chance he will be replaced next season.Liverpool---They wont even finish in top 5. No Chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
