The Next Manager?

[Rmpr 8,977]

Not publicly of course, but hiring Jose is, or rather looks like, admitting he was wrong to sack him. But I don't that will be the biggest issue. The issue is that Jose knows that he will have much more security at City whereas here a run of bad games is enough to get him sacked.

I dont think so. I really believe Mourinho would have more security here. He will have 110% of everyone's support and by hiring him RA will be stating he is aware there arent any more options on he market.

I trully think he would be like God here, his ego cant ask for much.

As far as money and players, nothing that a 150mi transfer window and Mourinho's tactics cant handle, lol.

Still can't see Jose returning here, tbh, because that would have to mean:

1) RA admitting he was wrong to fire him in 2007. And in my experience, rich, powerful men, don't like doing that.

2) He will be given time, money and control. Highly unlikely, imo.

1. How many rich, powerful men do you know who aren't prepared to put success before their egos? Because they aren't going to be rich men for long.

2. How much control would he have under Begiristain?

Well looking at things realistically. I can't see him at real at the end of the season meaning he will probably be back in england next season.

Now as for the who: It will be one of:

Chelsea - Has history with us, loves the club, fans, the issue could be the roman factor

Man city - With the exception of him having history with us, they have the same sort of model as us and can buy like we can etc.

Arsenal - Doesn't have the money to improve the squad he would like and can't see him wanting to fight for top 4 and domestic comps wheras with everyone else he can challenge for the league

Tottenham - Can't see them getting rid of AVB especially if he gets them top 4.

Utd - Somewhere that is successful and has a great team however i can't see them sacking fergie and i don't think he is gonna quit yet.

So that means its us or city. Now we want him more, but does roman want him. I am sure he would love to come back to the bridge but again, does roman want it? City may be the easier option for him, however we may be the preffered option. Also as some people have said, london is better than manchester and probably more preferable for him to love there. Especially as he has a home here etc. A lot of this is more hope than judgement but i will be optimistic and i reckon we will get top 4, rafa will be sacked, mourinho will be hired. Lampy will get a new deal. We will win the champs league, and he will retire with the winning goal.

There is no question the choice is between us and city.

Squad wise, city is ready to contend right now not us. So baring any major transfer in the summer, it really depends on what Mourinho want.

I thought it is going to be why mou will choose chelsea over city but it is more of why city will prefer not to hire mou.

The next manager should be Mourinho.

The only other manager that I'd want at the Bridge is Golden Guus...but he's unavailable.

If Benitez is still managing us next year and Torres is still starting, there is no way i'm watching a single game until those two clowns fuck off

[Santiago. 1,500]

I dont think Mourinho would even consider managing another club than Chelsea imo. He has always been contacting us in every way when he was in Italy and now in Spain, just look at last season

How?

Fact is, if José ends up here next season, it pretty much dispels this notion.

As you said, if we hire him, Roman is basically admitting he was wrong. Therefore, if this indeed does happen, there's a big probability José would be given free reign over pretty much everything at the club. If anything, I'd guess he'd have more security if he came here, rather than working under Bergiristain at City: a man who was, apparently, against his application to become Barca's manager.

We're in a pretty desperate situation regarding the manager department, no Pep, no Klopp, etc. So I wouldn't be surprised if we went all out for José and promised him he could do whatever he wanted; which I, personally, feel would only be a good thing, considering the ineptitude of our board.

Mourinho would be perfect in a way because hes a winner and some of these players we have with less experience and a frailer mentalility could do with a kick up the arse but yet again as soon as hes won everything he will probably fuck off like he did at Inter which doesn't make him perfect.

Jose please come home
