    lol at the rubbish in this thread. Mourinho took Porto to the UEFA Cup and then won the CL the next year. Two years of win, win, win. It's an absolutely phenomenal achievement and in terms of modern club football - is without compare (think about Porto's pedigree in Europe before and after Jose's term of management).

    I think Mancini is over hyped by the media and underrated in this thread. He has won the Italian Cup four times with three different teams. That the background to Italian football over the past four years has tilted things towards Inter is not in doubt - but they still won the league title this year and winning it with all the big boys back in it is an achievement that deserves some consideration.

    Is he the right fit for Chelsea? Who knows? He's definitely far from the most accomplished manager in world football available or no - but the right man to lead Chelsea 2.0 might be someone who is willing to let Roman buy whoever and play whoever.

    Mourinhos achievements with Porto, brilliant. Worth double what Ferguson achieved. But, Mancini's Inter record? Really? Without question his record will be among the greats at Inter. It will show three straight wins, but without context.

    1 Handed to Inter by the courts

    2 Achieved with all the main rivals points penalised

    3 Won narrowly with the players from their main rival (Juventus), signed as a result of the decision giving them the first title.

    On a level playing field Mancini is perfect for Inter - a choker, a bridesmade, a nearly man,. The Coppa is less of a trophy than the whatever it is called cup (third trophy) in England is. Nobody makes the effort. If Luckyloyd was managing he'd have won it.

    Chelsea would have to be mentalists to sign him.
