David Cameron just said in a speech 'Our job is to educate and train up our youth, not to rely on immigration to fill the skills gap'.

That is essentially the attitude Mourinho would need to bring to the job this time around. He already has many toys to play with, but over the next 3-5 years we really need to be developing players not just to fill squad spaces but first-team places.

I think people should view this whole thing with caution. If he does come back to this club, I think many of us are hoping he's a slightly changed man not in his tactical view of football or even his man-management skills but in how he builds and develops a squad, and a club. Many of the problems we face now started around the time he was in charge and a few years after - under-investment in youth, too much power given to certain players, too much money spent on players in wages and transfer fees. Now not all of that was his fault (if any) and there were certainly a large number of great things that he instilled in the club too, but we're heading in a certain direction and we can't throw away all the good things that are happening at this club.

Essentially we need concessions on both sides. If they're capable of that then we could have something very special indeed.

I think you are totally right.

However, we need to be realistic, we face a dilemma and José is the key to open millions of doors for Chelsea Football Club.

Let me explain, we have a fat spanish you know what as a coach right now and when we seemed to have a project under André Villas-Boas before he was sacked, so, we need a manager to save the ship in football terms next season, and also to develop and include some youth in the first team, also, you may notice that with the departure of our beloved Frank Lampard the change of mentality will be completed at CFC.John Terry and John Obi Mikel & Cole will be the only players from the "dominant & full of egos" Chelsea.So, José can build a new philosophy, because he also will need to stay here to prove for us, for the press, for everybody that he can do as good as ...lets say some historic managers like Bob Paisley.

In your case, I think mister Pep Guardiola would be the perfect coach, however, the team spirit under José would be much better, the crowd will fee the "power" and i think José can achieve what you say, I think, its time for him to have also stability, for him, his family, so, Chelsea need stability, Roman need stability, José also need stability, we want stability, my cat want stability at CFC, lets just be confident, things may turn from average to very good under José again, and if he fails...José never fails really :)

It would be a sign of bigger things happening to the club,we need you mourinho.

A bigger sign would be to produce our gems from the academy and out on loan into the first team for the upcoming future. We currently have the best youth system in England and one of the best in the world.

I have to say, I completely disagree with the notion some have that this would be a 'step backwards' - absolutely not!!

Mourinho and us have evolved completely. When he arrived originally, we were still becoming a top club. Now we are a top club.

Mourinho was facing his first test after Porto to prove his CL win wasn't a fluke; to prove he really could become great. Now he is great.

We, Chelsea, and Jose, have evolved at a very similar rate and to a similar level. This is also a brand new challenge for him, don't forget. The location, owner and fans may be the same - but that's it really. When he arrived and during his transfer windows, we focused on powerful work-horse type players who'd scare opposing teams into their shells and bully them off the ball. A defensive approach with counter-attacking. He had ​to do similar at Inter because they had similar resources and players to us - if he did anything else he'd be foolish and he would have lost games! This has created the notion that he's a counter-attacking manager - but I completely disagree. He's a smart manager who does what needs to be done and gets the best out of every single player in his presence.

Give him Barcelona and believe me, they'd probably be an even more attacking team than they were under Guardiola!

This time around, he has a plethora of attacking midfielders to work with, all of whom are versatile and have maturity far beyond what players their age usually have.

He has a young, hungry striker in Lukaku and a young player he can bleed in (Chalobah) much like he's done with Varane.

He has that 'next big thing' in Hazard - a player not too dissimilar to Ronaldo who he's nurtured into one of the greatest players in history. (I genuinely believe Mourinho has done more for Ronaldo than SaF could have ever done.)

So while this is a new challenge, it's not completely alien to him. We possess potentially similar players to his current Madrid team (Hazard/Ronaldo, Mata/Ozil, Ramires/Khedira [if nurtured correctly], Moses/Di Maria) etc. The only thing lacking is that Xabi-Alonso-esque player. Maybe he could turn Mikel into that? Maybe he could sign the next Alonso? Who knows.

But if he does return, I'm positive he'll treat this as a new place to continue establishing his legacy - not just a stagnated club which is missing it's clog to get running again & revert back to the team of the mid-2000's.

Just a thought - If the Illuminati exists, I get the feeling Roman is a high power in it. Like if there's a table somewhere at the top with 10 people 'round it, he'll be one of those 10. Heh. Idk.
