The Mourinho Thread

[Martina 210]

What has Cahill done to be captain?

Nothing. I just like his accent

[Ankit 3,176]

Mourinho to come and make Torres the captain. End of.

This was six years ago

Still agree though #Josecomehome

If we actually go for Pellegrini when Mourinho is available, things could get a little ugly.

Pellegrini is negotiating with City.

Hiddink has already decided to retire after this season no ?

EDIT: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/european/9706770/Guus-Hiddink-to-retire-at-the-end-of-the-season.html

March 2, 2013 :

"I said to Dutch television that I might stop at the end of the season, but we have other options to go on with [Anzhi].

"And regarding other clubs, I'm 66 now and will be 67 in autumn. As long as I feel energetic and I'm not becoming an old, bitter, sour man, then I can go on. But I cannot predict where I am next season."

April 29, 2013 :

"I will not retire from football," he said Sunday, adding that he had yet to decide what he would do next season.

"What I will do, it's up in the upcoming time. Now it's better to talk about Anzhi - what we can do in the time left in the league, in the cup, rather than focusing on what will happen in the future. We will see."

Ah so he changed his mind ? Happy to hear it, if we signed him now, he retires in 2-3 years and then could become our Director of Football.

Oh, so Hiddink isn't retiring? I would probably prefer Mourinho and him equally then. The short time Hiddink was with us... well, I wanted to see him longer, still do. He was the only manager post-Mourinho who commanded respect and authority in my opinion. He had this leader's presence about him.

E: On the other hand it would feel more right if I saw Jose in the dugout shouting and waving, so I guess I prefer him a bit more than Guus.

Luiz has shown himself to be a leader and to be fair, he has won the Champions League. In fact he was apparently crocked in that match but played anyway and did us all proud.

If he isn't captain material then who is in the current squad?

Cech - I'm not a massive fan of keepers being captain, but he's a good shout.

Mata - leads by example but not the most vocal player on the pitch.

And that's it.

I agree:

Cech would be the obvious captain, but having the captain be the keeper, makes 0 sense as they can't leave goal to sort things out, and it just doesn't help the team that much.

Cahill isn't a regular starter, and i am still not keen on him being captain.

Ash would be short term.

Mata just seems to quiet. He rarely will get in someones face and give them an earful and i can't see him bossing anyone around.

Mikel... Not for me

Luiz is young has great potential, can be a fixture in the squad for a long period of time, is very likeable to the fans, is respected by the players, and would be a suitable choice. He isn't exactly a John Terry, but who is.

Jose just told klopp that hes coming to chels

Ha.

The players lost the game tonight - not him. He actually set the team up perfectly I felt. If players like Higuain, Ozil & Ronaldo had taken their chances, which they really should have, Madrid could have won 4-0, even 5-0 tonight.

I mention this because there'll probably be the almost inevitable - "You guys still want Jose back after his loss vs. Dortmund? :s" from a member who started supporting after Jose left us and thus never felt his magic.

[Leif 6,006]

Reporter: "Maybe next season with Real?"

Jose: "Maybe not. I love to be where I love to be; where people love me to be."

[Hutcho 8,443]

OMG!

YOU HEAR HIS INTERVIEW!

GOING TO GO SOMEWHERE WHERE HE IS LOVED!

I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY CUT IT SHORT FOR THE FUCKING NEWS!!!

[Sheva. 5,373]

Stupid itv as usual. But for sure Jose is leaving now.

[Special Juan 27,581]

Omg after that you have to believe its home for Jose.....incredible
