Mourinho For Liverpool?

[Gianfranco_Z 202]

I'm sure Milan will be his next destination...

As you have already said Bayern is a no - Jurgen Klinsmann signed for them and takes over next season. Its between Milano and F.C.Barcelona in my books.

Barca played some good football today, if they keep that up and do well in the CL and league, Jose might find it difficult to get his foot in the door there.

Bayern is a no-no.

Real look solid as does Inter.

So really it's Milan or Barca.

I would go for Milan aside from the fact they usually hire from within, guess it depends whether Ancelotti wins the CL again, he has f**k all chance in the league.

As for Liverpool, Mourinho owes Chelsea nothing in terms of where he goes, he did his best for us and can sleep easy at night with the legacy he left, a legacy which has given the new regime a great squad (with the aid of Roman's money of course) and has aided the transition immensely for the new manager.

Liverpool drew again today and are playing poorly, I think unless things massively improve then Benitez will be gone by "mutual consent" in the summer and with Klinsmann out of the picture and if Mourinho was still free frankly the choice is a no brainer from a business/risk point of view.

Although he could always go to Newcastle if he's feeling particularly suicidal.

Sorry, I don't see Mourinho managing Liverpool, I really don't.

Besides, he said after Chelsea, he wouldn't manage another English club, so I think that's pretty blown that out of proportion.

He'll end up going to AC Milan or something. And we get Ancelotti! How sound would that be??

[captainmarvel 1]

why won't he manage an English club? if its a top club and it matches his ambition he would go there. I can certainly see him being manager of Man Utd after Fergie retires (if he doesn't go to Liverpoo that is)

[misschief 24]

I think Utd could definitely be on the cards in the future but Fergie's going nowhere atm. Liverpool in the summer? Possibilty if AC don't snap him up. Of course he owes us nothing but he does owe Roman a bloody good shafting. Is that his style? You bet your arse it is.

It'd break a few hearts though, mine included.

Jose wants Kop job

Sunday Mirror Sport understands that the former Chelsea boss has contacted Liverpool's American owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett through a third party indicating that he would love to take over at Anfield next season.

The Portuguese manager's compensation deal with Chelsea last September prevents him from returning to a Premier League club this season - but he has told friends that he wants to return to England.

And, despite the vacancy at Newcastle, Liverpool is the job that the Special One craves.

He was close to becoming Anfield boss before Benitez got the job and has never lost that desire to work at the five-times European champions. Benitez's worst fears about his Anfield future have been confirmed by Bayern Munich. After appointing Jurgen Klinsmann as their new boss a club official confirmed Klinsmann had been offered the Liverpool job before Christmas.

A 1-1 draw at Middlesbrough yesterday did little to improve Benitez's job prospects. Liverpool have won just two of their last eight games in all competitions. When asked if constant speculation about his future was depressing him, Benitez (left) said: "Not really. I am trying to concentrate on the next game.

"It is disappointing not to win the game and perhaps close the gap at the top. In this position you cannot think about the leaders. When you talk about a draw away from home you must be disappointed. All I am thinking about is the next game against Luton in the FA Cup and then Aston Villa."

If he did take charge at Anfield, Mourinho would have to erase the memories of the prickly relationship he used to have with Liverpool fans.

Mourinho incurred their fury of when he "shushed" them from the touchline when Chelsea equalised on their way to victory in the Carling Cup Final three years ago.

:unsure:

Liverpool will give Rafa one or two more years after this and then i reckon Jose might take liverpool once hes allowed to take an english team again. I think he would probs manage somewhere in spain or italy first tho. If he takes a top 4 English team, i'll not be a happy bunny. You can't see him taking a shit team tho and he wants to manage in england again as JT has said on Goals on Sunday. Sorry guys but.......it's gonna happen, just not yet. Brace yourselves for Jose managing Liverpool or Man Utd one day.

A scary thought: the tactical knowledge of Mourinho verus... erm, Grant.... scary indeed.

Even scarier - Grant winning

Cant see Rafa being given another year esp if they get knocked out the FA cup and then the first ko stage of champs league.Their season over and esp after giving Rafa all that dosh and still failing to get anywhere.

But anywhere but Liverpool!!!And yeh lol its only the mirror!Eeeeeeeeeeeeeek!Plenty of English clubs lol dont go there!!!!

Meh he's got aggges anyway till he can accept an English job and if he has been appointed somewhere he wont wana leave there within a few months be pointless.

Nooo Jose dont do it!

[blue_army 2]

Its the mirror , they dont have any transfer exclusives to print and guess who sells papers ???

[Gianfranco_Z 202]

News agents!

i think Rafa is an all right manager, they've won alot under him, but now that Liverpoo want to be 'serious tittle contenders,' i dont think they'll be able to win it with him in charge. his rotation policy and all that just isn't working, but what Mourinho would bring them would deffo get them what they want. I dont see any truth in this story TBH, Jose is much better than them and will probably go to Milan or Barça.

[Layla 0]

Maybe he'll be attracted by the 'European city of culture'

Rafa cant multi task.Its either the prem or the champs league while other clubs well us and Man you can do both up to a point he cant.And yeh the rotation policy aint helping considering half the time they look confused about who they're playing with.

But nah cant see this happening.Hope not anyway
