What makes that more credible than the ones saying he is coming. They will say tommorrow that he is in talks with our officials. Another BS story to keep the "will he won't he" story rumbling on.

Offre pour Mourinho (presse)

Nos confrères espagnols d'El Pais rapportent dimanche que Chelsea a formulé en mars une offre à José Mourinho pour la saison prochaine. Toutefois, l'actuel entraîneur du Real Madrid n'aurait pas encore signé devant le refus de son ancien club de lui laisser les pleins pouvoirs en matière de recrutement. «L'entraîneur n'écarte pas de continuer au Real une saison supplémentaire si Abramovitch, le propriétaire du club londonien, continue de lui refuser les pleins pouvoirs pour recruter et vendre des joueurs», explique le quotidien, qui cite des sources de Gestifute, l'entreprise de Jorge Mendes, l'agent de Mourinho. Le propriétaire russe de Chelsea n'aurait proposé à Mourinho que la fonction d'entraîneur. «S'il peut gagner suffisamment de temps, Mourinho estime qu'un triomphe en Ligue des champions lui donnerait un levier d'action suffisant pour obtenir d'Abramovitch le pouvoir que celui-ci lui refuse», poursuit le quotidien.

According to a translator it means this but not sure how accurate these things are.

Our Spanish colleagues of El Pais reported Sunday that Chelsea made ​​an offer in March to Jose Mourinho for next season. However, the current coach of Real Madrid has not yet signed the refusal of his former club to give him full powers in recruitment. "The coach does not preclude continued another season at Real if Abramovich, owner of London club continues to deny full authority to recruit and sell players," said the newspaper, citing sources Gestifute, the company of Jorge Mendes, agent Mourinho. The Russian owner of Chelsea Mourinho would have offered the coaching. "If he can earn enough time, Mourinho believes that triumph in the Champions League would give it a lever action Abramovich enough to get the power that it denied" the newspaper said.

Jose Mourinho disappointed with Chelsea offer, and won't commit to club

El Pais in Spain today have a really interesting article on Jose Mourinho and his proposed return to Chelsea. They start off by saying that the Real Madrid manager finally got his Chelsea offer in the last week of March, after waiting for the club to contact him since October.

However, rather than it being the start of the deal being closed it has only managed to open up old problems and create something of a gap between Mourinho and Abramovich. The Russian owner is said to just want Mourinho to be the manager of the team and players available, rather than have a more powerful role. Mourinho would prefer to be in control of everything including transfers and won't commit to Chelsea with the offer the way it is at the moment.

This has left Chelsea worried that they may lose the Mourinho option and both sides are a bit worried about what the other may do. It fits in with an El Confidencial article published a week ago, they claimed that Marina Granovskaia had been sent to Madrid to sort out the situation. El Confidencial reckoned that Abramovich is a bit worried because Mourinho won't commit, which was the opposite of much being reported in England. Marina Granovskaia is Abramovich's right hand woman and bringing her in would be a signal that his intentions were serious.

Nevertheless, it doesn't change the gap in what each man wants from the situation and El Pais explain that Mourinho is going to give the situation some space, hope he can win the Champions League and then force Abramovich to give him more power.

The Portuguese manager already holds all the cards with Real Madrid likely to not want to lose him, PSG always in the picture and Chelsea continually linked. A Champions League win would take that to a whole new level and mean that he could demand more, both in terms of power and finance. El Pais suggest their source is from Gestifute, Mourinho's agents led by Jorge Mendes - so it would be a pretty solid source of information.

Mourinho is apparently upset that Abramovich doesn't trust him enough to give him full control. The whole thing sounds somewhat like an elaborate mating ritual and the two men will no doubt posture further for the new couple of months before having to make a decision over whether to commit.

Given that it fits in with other reports and that the behaviour from both men sounds about right, this story sounds like it could be close to the current truth.

If Mou isnt coming, who will ?

nobody wants Pellegrini ....

Sign Mourinho!

[MADEZ 9]

All we need is our Jose,the reason people are saying he is not putting in much interest is that he wants to be concentrated on the UCL and win it before leaving Madrid

[Laylabelle 9,305]

So many rumours none set in stone and we'll only know for sure when he is at Chelsea..or someone else is...until then...looong wait
