The Mourinho Thread

[Rubber bullets 1,183]

I would not be surprised if no agreement has actually been made, and Jose is trying to use the media to put massive pressure on the board to hire him other wise he may not have a job for the next season. It helps that many here and in the media still follow his every word trying to give a concrete meaning to it and still be unaware that he might be pulling their leg a bit.

Transfer news: Jose Mourinho to meet Chelsea FC officials next week

Just posting a link - no idea whether it is reliable or not :-)

According to a respected football agent, Jose Mourinho’s agents are set to meet Chelsea FC officials next week in London. The source says that no terms have been agreed between CFC and Mourinho yet. But the information is that Mourinho has requested that Chelsea FC remove certain members of their non-playing staff (coaches and backroom staff).

Removal of backroom staff is routine when a new manager comes in, as he will be bringing in his own backroom staff and coaches. Perhaps this is a sign that Mourinho is serious about moving back to Chelsea FC.

The news comes as a follow-up to comments made by Mourinho in the aftermath of the Champions League semifinal 2nd leg against Dortmund. Mourinho dropped clear hints that he wanted to leave Madrid, and with this latest information, it seems Chelsea is his preferred destination.

I'd assume Rui Faria and possibly Karanka may come with him if he indeed does arrive, plus Silvino Louro.

The record league title is mine, you (journalists) will want to erase it but you won’t be able to. We won the Copa del Rey for the first time in 20 years and you won’t be able to erase that either.

The three Champions League semi-finals, which personally speaking do not leave me satisfied, can’t have been easy to achieve because with 18 coaches in 21 years (Real) only got to five semis.

That’s the poor record of Mourinho: three years and three semi-finals. For me it is a source of pride to have been the Real Madrid coach that ended Barcelona’s hegemony in Spain.

That is so like Benitez and his rant on Fergie.

Thats fake!

[Fernando 6,502]

you mean like winning the league from the best team in the world (not my words) with a record number of points...yeah nothing special at all

You got to put yourself in the shoes of Madrid.

If your coming from Madrid, it is nothing special.

Why?

Because you where brought to win the league and win their 10th CL. A record amount of points is just something extra, for them the tittle is more important.

He was giving 3 years, a lot of money to buy players, something other managers in the past where not giving.

As one Real Madrid fan put it, he was brought in because he was "The Special One" not "The semispecial one"

If you take that into account it was nothing special indeed by their standards.

But for Chelsea, a club not as big as like Real Madrid where their standard is ridicules high, what Mourinho did would be great for us.

80% isn't quite high enough to ease my nerves.

Don't wanna get my hopes up.

Well, would expect other managers to have them since Mourinho's one is in there. It's just that it came as a shock when I suddenly came across Mourinho's profile in there.

According to The Sun, Jose wants to keep Frank Lampard and John Terry at Chelsea next season but has ruled out moves for Falcao and Xabi Alonso.
