Mourinho

[Rout-Ledge]

Indeed, but I was refering to st@rbug's assertion that Levy would not go after Jose.

As far as I could tell, that was an utterly baseless statement and didn't even merit a response (though credit to you for taking the time to). Doesn't have the 'balls' to go after Mourinho? Even if he hadn't in the past, what does that mean? Why wouldn't he want a top manager here to bring success?

 

[TheGreenLily]

I think he was personally pissed off with what happened last night, as I think he really wanted a good game with us last night. Instead it just turned into a no 'hoper' for one side and damage limitation.

Yes he was probably happy with the result, but I really think he wanted it to a be good and proper match last night.

A bad rushed tactical error (Although under circumstances it was easy to do) by harry bringing on Jenas and Crouch being a fooking retard, fooked it all up.

 

[WhiteHart4Ever]

I think people underestimate Jose. Once he leaves Madrid (which probably won't be that far off when you consider their coach turnaround) he would have done the mega rich clubs and will be, arguably, pretty rich himself. I think a greater challenge is what he wpould want and taking like us to the very top fits the bill IMO.

I think you're wrong, but I guess it's possible he'll want that challenge, pretty sure he'll go back to England. Though I think Man U, Arse, Pool and City jobs will all come up in the next few years so might find ourselves down the pecking order when push comes to shove.

But maybe, just maybe, if he gets the sack from Real (while having won something) and Harry goes for England after next season with Liverpool prob having a fresh manager and the old drunks still hanging around Emirates and Old Trafford he might opt for us over City. If we're lucky.

Mourinho is not going to be our next manager and anyone who thinks so is a fucking idiot

Hes more likely to go back to Chelsea than us.

I see it in this order

Man City
Liverpool
Man Utd
Chelsea
Us

Way down the pecking order.

Man City
Don't think he's in it for the money and City is just a way of worsening your reputation IMO.

Liverpool
Can't see it either, their team just isn't there.

Man Utd
Maybe, but who'd want to fill the boots of SAF? You'd have to win a major trophy every season just to not be seen as a failure.

Chelsea
More likely if he can mend bridges with Roman.

Us
Until we commit to spending properly on player wages i can't see us having any chance. Incidentally this will be the same time we confirm a new stadium, which may just be a big enough attraction for him. But it looks doubtful.

Way down the pecking order.

I think, maybe more hope I suppose, that he would want the challenge to take a team who have won next to nothing for years, and make them beat everyone around. Make it his team, a place here he can stay for years (ala Ferguson/Wenger) that he can call home.

He loves London, he loves the attention he gets from the press over here, he loves the league, he loves a challenge...

He likes us, he could probably talk his way round Levy regarding wages and transfers for players he wants, he would also be a big draw for any potential players....

So why not?........ Meh, i'm dreaming, but, you gotta dream a little.

Mourninho wont see City as worsening his rep. He will see it as an opportunity to take serval hundred million, build a pl and cl winning side for a club that has won jack for 35 years. hed go down a legend, despite the sheikh's billions

I think people are not looking at the fact that the rules on money are changing shortly and City won't be spending hundreds of millions each year so that isn't as big of a draw. I think it all depends on how well he does this year. If he won the CL this season he could leave in the summer. If not he would give it another year. Where he goes will have a lot to do with who is where when he leaves. One club not mentioned is Arsenal. I can see him going there if Wenger decides the rediculous criticism he gets from his own fans is too much. SAF will be leaving soon, Liverpool are probably holding off giving Kenny a contract until they see who is available in the summer, City will sack whoever to get their man so they are a wildcard and we will wait until next summer to see if Harry goes for the England job.

If the money was right Jose would take any job from the top 6 as all of them have the potential to be successful, i really think it will come down to who is available when he's done with Real.

 

[Ledders Army]

He'll either want to take on Fergie by going to City and trying to become the biggest team in Manchester or he'll want to take over from Fergie and take on the job that many in the media think will be impossible. Unless Levy breaks the wage structure he won't be coming to us and even then with his links to chelsea can't see it happening.

If Wenger left/was sacked I would be more than happy if Levy offered him the job, one of the 3 best managers in the world IMHO, they would be mad to hound him out.

You have got to be kidding me. Seriously?

 

[Ledders Army]

Wouldn't want wenger at Spurs but would be delighted if they sacked him. Very worried he's on the verge of building a great team there. Hope they get rid in the summer.

 

[Matt C]

You have got to be kidding me. Seriously?

He is a paid mercenary doing his job he has no lifelong loyalty to scum, he did not stand on the North Bank chanting "there's only one Tony Adams", the guy is simply a hired mercenary, once he clears his desk at Emirates he would no longer have any loyalty of bond with the club so why not ??

Turning down one of the worlds greatest managers because of who paid his wages in the past would be foolish.

Wenger is one of the all time greats

OK, first off the bat I would say that he loves the scum, a fair proportion of their fans still love him, and their board love him because he wants change from a button when he's in the transfer market. The guy has shown more animosity towards us over the years than any other manager, which I don't think he's doing just to please the fans.

Secondly, I don't think he is "one of the all time greats" at all. He has one style of play, is unwilling or unable to adapt his style of play when the occasion requires it (whinges about the likes of Stoke playing a physical game), mollycoddles his players, instils so little mental strength in his players that they give away comfortable leads with ease (vs us, 2-0 to 2-3, vs Newcastle 4-0 to 4-4!). Compare this to, oh, I don't know, Redknapp? Ticks all the boxes Wenger doesn't.

Add to this the man is a grade A turd.

No thanks.

He is playing to the gallery with comments about us, I remember Mourinho bitching about us and having a go at us for 'parking the bus', soon as he left Chelsea he loved us and has been saying good things about us so I think Wenger is just playing to the gallery to get or keep the scum fans onside.

Wenger is the best spotter of talent I have ever seen, I had never heard of 90% of his foreign kids before he signed them and now many of them are superstars, he found Vieira and Henry rotting in Italian reserve teams and turned them into world class, he has built 2 successful Scum teams from near scratch, the guy is a **** but he would transform us particularly in youth development

This is the key point. No-one is going to sack their manager just because Jose is available. Certainly not Arsenal, or Man Utd anyway. Man City might do, but I'd be a bit surprised if they did. I can't see him going back to Chelsea while Roman's still there either.

Yes but then if he is given that kind of money the expectations will be very, very high for him. He would need to win the league or the Champions League within 2 seasons and win a cup in his first season IMO to keep his job. Anything less and they'll be looking to replace him.

Football isn't that easy, throwing money at players doesn't guarantee you success, just look at Real Madrid.

 

[bubble07]

He will stay at Madrid for one more year then he will replace Wenger
