The Mourinho Thread

[Strike 7,474]

i'd gladly have Mourinho take over our mess. Over Guardiola. Premiership experience trumps it for me.

on a side note, if we miss out on both Mourinho and Guardiola? what then? we are well and truly screwed

Not really. There are other options. Pellegrini being a very good alternative. He's proven at the top level. Real Madrid finished the season with most points in the league they have ever had, and now he's doing amazing things with Málaga without even getting paid. He's getting every single Málaga player to play week-in week-out for him, even though they're also not getting paid. His man-management skills are brilliant.

And just to put the cherry on top, he could bring that attacking, short passing style of football that Abramovich wants.

He didn't want to stay at Inter nor does he want to stay at Madrid, he said a lot of times that his ambition is to try many different countries and to challenge himself. But I'm sure at some point of his career (and that time will come very soon, I think after the Madrid episode) he will want to settle down, find a suitable club where he feels he's at home and build a mighty force.

That club, he also said, is a Premiership club. And now, may I ask you one thing: Do you want the world's best manager in the last decade (maybe even of all times) to take over at Man City ? Or United, completely irrelevant as long it's not Chelsea.

The same question should be adressed to Roman Abramovich.

edit: Pellegrini ? I seriously hope you're not serious.

Stick to Rafa, ill probably get pelters for this but he is the higest calibre manager available to us if those two say no. If he can get us playing like his Valencia side i won't be complaining.

Mourinho will travel to every country he can to win big trophies so hes remembered as the greatest coach that ever lived. He wants to be known as the greatest coach ever. So I wouldn't be surprised to see him in the Bundesliga at one point. He wants to return to England too as he wants to win the CL with an English club.

Of course I'm serious. Why wouldn't I be?

Not Rafa. He has come in and done nothing radically different with our squad. it's like he's being strung along by emenalo and gourlay. plus, the fans love to hate him and that is never good. i just wish rafa gets us through unscathed this season and then have someone else come in

I reckon Rafa will be the third choice option, thats probably why hes got that extra 12 months clause in his contract.

Then we would be cutting of our nose to spite face, if we can't get Pep or Jose who available is a possibly an upgrade to Rafa?

Carlo will never return, Hiddink is calling it a day, there would be no one better available. I not a Rafa fan but what i do want is what is best for the club, which is why i didn't join the anti Rafa brigade in the first place.

Your opinion, I respect it but this is becoming a joke. From Guardiola and Mourinho to Pellegrini, thats really something. May aswell go for Chris Hughton then.

I prefer Big Sam, atleast we will get the double every season.

I'm not understanding how it's a joke?

All we can do as fans is speculate, and that's what I'm doing. And in my opinion, Guardiola, Mourinho and Pellegrini are three of the best managers around. All we can do is throw a bunch of names into the hat of potential managers.

true, but with giving rafa a contract, this negative atmosphere in the club will continue. this is supposed to be just a phase before things are cleared up in the summer. or so i am hoping

Well in my opinion Pellegrini is nowhere near those two, and I just did what you did - that is throw in a random name.

Now off to bed, tired as fuck.

Well of course Pep and Jose are on another level, but I just think Pellegrini wouldn't be a bad alternative.

Yes, speculating can be very tiring.
