The Mourinho Thread

[Myself 793]

he will succeed at gaining weight, rooney will help him out with that

[Chelsea? 892]

Successful enough for them to keep him but not good enough to challenge us hopefully.

Mourinho is a guy that likes new challenges and I can see him taking the united job if he has already won multiple titles for us.

Damn it was a nice watch. It did make me kinda sad to know that Didier would probably not get such an ending again though. That was seriously the perfect sendoff.

^ Smfh, I felt like smashing my head against a wall when I read this, I've been here since 2009 and that's the stupidest post I've ever seen and that includes bushman's material.

Mourinho going to United now wouldn't make any sense on any level whatsoever, literally no chance of it happening.

. A "new challenge" is going to a different league! (germany, france etc), not up north to win the same trophies he's won here

. There is no connection/affection or.. anything! in regards to Jose and United, he idolised Ferguson and they had a friendship. It's all about red nose, not the club he was managing. Mourinho was one of a select few people who knew Ferguson was retiring before it was announced.

. History - the idea that he would go there because it's United is laughable, on that basis I suppose he's off to Liverpool then

. Legacy - He's had two stints here now, he's Chelsea through and through, he knows how passionate and tribalistic football fans get and wouldn't want to destroy his legacy.

. Money - Mourinho is the 2nd highest paid manager in club football, because of 'Chelsea'.. United can't compete and won't.

He would never go from Chelsea directly to United, that wouldn't make any sense at all.

[Atlas Lion 1,223]

Makes me giggle when people say, especially those clueless scousers, when they claim United was Mourinho's preferred destination.

Another variable where it would see me not bothered if Liverpool continue throughout the years in mediocrity.

I wasn't referring to 'directly', all my points are applicable to any time in his career from now.

FORMER Real Madrid director Jorge Valdano has slammed Jose Mourinho

"I've never heard in public or in private a football statement from Mourinho worthy to be remembered," Valdano wrote, as quoted by Marca.

"He is a character tailored to these noisy and empty times.

"I couldn't understand him because he is in the antipodes of my sensitivity. Intelligence and ego are enemies. And when they collide, the ego wins."

And he thinks Mourinho's achievements pale in comparison to that of Guardiola.

"If Guardiola is Mozart, Mourinho is [italian composer Antonio] Salieri. He would be a great musician if there were no Mozart," he added.

Ouch.

Talk about Mourinho to stay relevant Mourinho shouldn't even dignify him with a response

I meant 5 years from now. When he's already won everything he can possibly when with us. But please don't reply to my posts anymore if you're gonna use that tone.

I get your point but having completed the club set of pretty much every major trophy from England, Spain and Italy, I think he would set his sights on something else. I suspect he may manage an international side. Can you imagine if he wins either a Euro or a World Cup or possibly both? His status as the greatest manager of all time would be unchallenged.

And that's exactly what I meant.. 5 years from now, or ANY TIME, beyond this point. As I already clarified with the poster above. All those points are applicable to any point in time from now.

He doesn't have a point. This idea that Mourinho wanted the United job was fiction to start with, it was Ferguson he had admiration for not United.

I don't think Mourinho will go to United but neither do I particularly agree with these points. He's ruthless and egotistical and we love him for that. But that also means if he thought managing United would be the best thing for his career then he would do it regardless of what us Chelsea fans thought (especially if he were sacked). With the last point are you saying United can't compete with us in terms of money?
