Would you like Mourinho to come to the club you support?

stumpypeeps

There is no hiding his ambition to return to the Premier League in the near future. Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea and possibly even Liverpool are destinations that would interest him. In particular, Manchester United seems to be a job he would relish.

While no one can argue against his achievements, its his behaviour that tends to divide people.

Would you welcome his arrival or would you prefer anyone else?

He's a proven winner and a class manager.

He doesn't tend to stay in jobs too long though does he? The whole media BS that goes on around him would grate pretty quickly too imo.

mike65

On balance no, he seems to be getting worse with his theatricals as he gets older as well. He is in danger of becoming a manager one would like to see arrive at a rival club.

rednik

In my opinion United after Fergie will need a big personality to maintain the club at the highest level. I don't care for his style of football but he maybe just one of a couple of managers out there that could handle the job. I would say yes.

His behaviour after the Barca game pushed it all to a new level. I used to believe he orchestrated a lot of this to deflect attention from his players. Now I'm not so sure, I think he is spiteful and boorish.

That said, he guarantees you better results and probably trophies. Perhaps at the expense of style.

At Spurs .. Hell yes! Would transform the club.

I'd prefer someone else but he'd be on the list, certainly.

I can see him at City next tbh.

Plenty of cash and a club in desperate need of a big trophy. Similar to when he took over at Chelsea in many ways.

You could understand a club like Man City, making a move for him. They are starved of success. They care little about public relations and entertaining football. However, would the faithful at Old Trafford accept performances like Real's?

I wasn't intending to be disparaging about City as a club but rather acknowledge that after spending so much money, Mourinho would turn that huge potential into results. Very much the way he arrived at Chelsea, who'd spent a lot without huge results. They shipped out one Italian for the special one. City might do likewise.

slingerz

Man City seems to be the most likely destination, I'm not sure he'd fit with United's hierachy and Chelsea wont have him back with Abramobvich there. Liverpool is a no go as long as Daglish is at the helm

See now, when you put it like that it is better and definitely less likely to be taken up as being disparaging:)
Mourinho could do the business at City and I've always harboured doubts that he would be interested in Utd as I feel that he would not like to be in Fergies shadow so to speak but sure, who knows???

weldoninhio

Not a chance, when are people gonna see through the emperors new clothes?? Mourinhio is a classless, cheque book manager who has been extremely lucky in his career. Like Benitez at Valencia, Mourinhio took over a Porto side already filled with great players, he cheated his way to Uefa cup glory, then made it through to, and won, the Champions Lge final after a perfectly good Paul Scholes goal was disallowed.

From here, he moved to Chelsea and spent hundreds of millions to bring the Premiership to the club. His theatrics when things didn't go his way were disgraceful, but loved and lapped up by the UK, and by association, Irish gutter press. When the going got tough Mourinhio left Chelsea with an ageing and worthless squad.

From here he moved to Inter, and a squad who had won the league for the previous few years. He won the champions league with them by playing a brand of football more associated with a 3rd division side who have gone a goal up against a Premiership in the FA Cup rather than the current champions and richest club Italy. He also won the Champions League here, although again it was by virtue of a perfectly good goal being ruled out, this time Pedro of Barca was the unlucky one. His behaviour here again was detestable. And the Italian media pulled him up in it, causing massive spats with the media.

Next stop on the Mourinhio gravy train was Real Madrid, again the richest club in the country, where Mourinhio assembles another one of the most expensive sides in history. He again plays his disgusting style of play, but he is soon found out as he has to come up against Barcelona, the team where he started off as translator. His team worth over E400 million have beaten Barca once over 4 matches played so far this season and have been humiliated 5-0 in the Camp Nou. His tactic against Barca, who he knows are the better team seems to be to sit back with 11 men behind the ball and aim for a 0-0 or if they are extremely lucky hit them on the break and get a 1-0 win.

His antics in the Champions League again show what a spoilt, petulant, bully that he is. Again, the Spanish press see through his nonsense and he has had numerous spats with them, including one press conference where half of the reporters walked out when Mourinhio refused to speak. I believe his behaviour over the past few years, especially this year when the pressure was on him, has effectively ruled him out of taking over at Man Utd.

I'm a Blackburn fan, and as much as I think we need a managerial change, I would hate to see Mourinhio come in to my club.

The only error is even dreaming that Jose Mourinho might manage Blackburn Rovers

everdead.ie

I think people are focusing on his defensive display v Barca too much against spurs they played a very tight game of pressing football with plenty of flicks and tricks once they got a two goal lead he's a winner first any club bar Barca would love to have him.

There is a huge element of truth in a lot of that but you can't just disregard his achievements with Chelsea, Porto or Inter so easily. None of his predecessors could manage what he achieved.

What is certain is that he had the English press in his pocket. This gave him a lot of leeway. His remarks about Hunt, the Ambulance, Anders Frisk and Barcelona's success are way over the top.

Avram might argue that he went a step closer in the Champions League than Jose, and Carlo might argue that winning the Premiership and the FA cup in the same season, along being in the running of retaining the Premiership this season has him on par/edging ahead of Jose in fairness.

As his successors, I think it was easier for them. He had given the team the foundation and belief. I think its fair to say winning the first league title is the most difficult. Ancelotti has done a great job though at Chelsea in fairness.

He has a short life span but you can guarantee he will raise the profile of the club and if he has a capable squad he'll win trophies.

If Fergie doesn't retire soon, I can see Man City using his services to achieve their aims. Man City and Mourinho would be a huge proposition.

He was brought in to win trophies immediately, he did that. Youth development was nothing to do with him at that stage, whether that's right or wrong is up for debate but when he was at the club the owner and fans wanted success and they got it.

He turned a bunch of nearly men into a machine and one of the most frighting teams in europe. Won liga twice in 3 years would no one apart from Barca or Real had done since the 80's. Put Xabi Alonso and Luis Garcia into a team that bearly finished 4th in 2003-2004 and won the champions league.

Benitez built a great team at Liverpool and we were one of the most feared teams in Europe.

Would never ever want Maureeno at Liverpool he's not want we need and i think he could never walk into a club stay for more than 3 seasons build a great team from stratch.

My 2 points were not having a go at what he did, it was a reply to papagormo.

Benitez was extremely lucky at Valencia to inherit the squad he did and also extremely lucky to win the CL with Liverpool. Anyone who thinks otherwise doesn't know very much about football. His final 2 seasons showed him up as to how lucky he really got. Firstly when they were in with a real chance of winning the league and he had his rant a la Kevin Keegan, then went on a horrific run. FACT! And then the next season the wheels really came off when his decisions became more and more absurd, like taking Torres off to the bemusement of Gerrard etc.

Why self-centred Mourinho is turning into a Special bore


By Brian Reade

Published 23:01 29/04/11

Early last year, I took part in a survey to pick the 10 greatest European Cup-winning managers.
These are the names the poll came up with: Rinus Michels, Bob Paisley, Matt Busby, Ernst Happel, Alex Ferguson, Brian Clough, Bela Guttman, Arrigo Sacchi, Jock Stein and Marcello Lippi.
Jose Mourinho, along with Fabio Capello, just missed the cut. Had the poll been done months later, after his second Champions League win, Mourinho would have cruised into that top 10.
Had he gone on this year to lift his third European Cup with three different clubs, he could have laid claim to being near the top of it.

But what we witnessed in the Bernabeu on Wednesday proved that, no matter how many trophies Mourinho wins, he will never deserve to sit in such exalted company as those true ­managerial greats.
Because, ultimately, he doesn’t really care about football. Not the players, not the fans and not the club.
He cares solely about one thing: How Jose Mourinho is perceived. How he can sneer and wink at the fools who doubt him.
And he’s turning into a sad, demented bore.
He’s the new Michael ­Barrymore. An eccentric, anti-establishment figure who once appeared a breath of fresh air.
When he went into exile, and blander men replaced him, we looked back on his act with ­fondness. But when he was shoved before us again, needing to go to greater lengths to shock us into loving him, we just squirmed and wondered what we ever found appealing.
It’s why the vast majority of neutrals (despite having many issues with Barcelona) were overjoyed to see this mean-spirited figure humiliated on Wednesday.
That long, pre-­meditated after-match outburst, when he blamed everyone from Uefa to Unicef for conspiring to get Barca to Wembley was his way of stealing the limelight from a truly great football man, Lionel Messi, who had just scored one of the finest-ever Champions League goals.
More than that, it was a way of diverting attention away from the kind of anti-football Jorge Valdano once described as “s*** on a stick” that he chose to serve up when he had home advantage, with the most lavishly-assembled squad in the world at his disposal.
A team that had Benzema, Higuain and Kaka on the bench, and the most expensive footballer ever, Cristiano Ronaldo pleading with his manager to give him the means to attack.
A manager who looked away, letting him know he was an irrelevance in the greater scheme of things - the scheme of elevating Jose.
Remember him holding five fingers up to the cameras after winning the FA Cup with Chelsea, reminding us how many trophies he had won in London, racing down the line at Old Trafford, running to the centre of the Nou Camp last year and dragging the cameras away from the Inter Milan players who had performed so brilliantly? Nauseating.
The self-styled Special One does not deserve to sit alongside the Happels, Paisleys and Busbys because he does not love football and football people. Just himself.
He doesn’t create great clubs, just one trophy-winning team, before moving on to another rich club he believes can fuel his personal ambition.
He now tells us his next move will be to England and believes he is flattering us with such a generous pronouncement.
But is a man whose youthful charm has turned to bitter ­megalomania, a self-obsessed control freak who plays with such destructive cynicism, really worthy of taking our biggest and best clubs forward?
In a word, no.
***
Has the ITV curse carried over from the FA Cup to the Champions League?
In the quarter-finals they got their matches wrong, missing out on the finely-balanced, all-English second-leg and heading to White Hart Lane to film a beaten Spurs go through the motions against Real Madrid.
When Heurelho Gomes cocked up to make it 5-0 for Real with 40 minutes left, the misery in ITV commentator Peter Drury’s voice seeped through every telly in the land.
“It’s a personal catastrophe and a great shame,” he uttered in funereal tones.
Not for the Spurs keeper, you understand, but for ITV’s viewing figures, as millions switched over for the start of MasterChef.
This week, when they should have been covering Manchester United away to Schalke (instead of next week’s Old Trafford dead rubber) they struggled through a turgid first hour in Madrid, with Andy Townsend forced to change his opening prediction of a mouth-watering classic to grunts of “imagine having to watch this every week.”
Meanwhile, an embarrassed Drury had to keep reminding us the “highlights” were coming up at 10.30pm.
It made you pine for the Goodison FA Cup Tic Tac invasion.
What’s the odds they turn up at Wembley Arena next month instead of the stadium?

OK then.

His post was in response to your "ageing and worthless squad" comment, so I'll address that.

It's a bit silly to suggest that our squad was worthless when he left. Drogba, Lampard, Terry, Carvalho, Essien,A Cole, Malouda, Bosingwa, Cech, Anelka, Alex and Ivanovic have all been incredibly important players for us since he he left, all of these players were part of that "ageing and worthless" squad he had the nerve to dump on us after he left.

In fact, they were all part of last years Premiership and FA Cup winning side, 3 years after Mourinho left. So if they were ageing and useless when he left, how do you explain last season?

I'm not going to suggest he hasn't been helped in each of his positions by strong financial backing, but to suggest he is simply lucky is naive to say the least.

hatz7

I wouldn't like Mourinho to manage my club, I'm an AC Milan supporter.

I don't deny he is a great manager but he is a checkbook manager and does nothing with the youth teams.

He is too negative and cynical.

I don't mind mid table or lower placed teams that play that way, but when you are charged with managing the great teams, the Inter Milan's the Real Madrid's, the Chelski's (to a lesser extent) you should be able to win using attacking play.

Would gladly take Mourinho at united when fergie retires. The guy is a proven winner. It's so important united get it right when he does go or the club could face a massive decline.

stumpypeeps

Berlin: The tactics of Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid against Barcelona last week came under more fire on Monday from Switzerland coach Ottmar Hitzfeld, twice a Champions League-winning manager with Dortmund and Bayern Munich.

UEFA on Thursday announced it had launched a disciplinary inquiry into events surrounding Wednesday's unruly Champions League semi final tie between Real Madrid and Barcelona.

One of the incidents being investigated is Mourinho's post-match outburst in which the Portuguese coach suggested referees always showed favouritism to Barcelona, who won 2-0 in Madrid to take a huge step towards the final.

"Luckily, Mourinho's destructive tactics, aimed solely at provoking and destroying the opponents' gameplan, did not work," Hitzfeld wrote in German football magazine Kicker.

"Such a way of playing does not relate to the demands of Real, it's really shameful for Real Madrid. It harms the good name and image of this legendary club."

Hitzfeld, just one of only three coaches to have won the Champions League with two different clubs - along with Mourinho and Ernst Happel, did not hide his disdain for the Portuguese coach.

"I've met him at UEFA meetings and his behaviour is faithful to his image: arrogant, haughty, chewing gum and somewhat of a boor."

"Barca should make him pay on the pitch," he said in reference to Tuesday's return leg of the semi final.

The main attractions are the fact he's probably the only man in the world who wouldn't feel intimidated by stepping into Fergie's shoes, his ability to almost guarantee success and the fact that his friendship with Fergie means he'll probably be the first man to know when the job is coming up. The fact that he will be universally hated is indeed a bonus, as you lot realised earlier in the season, when people stop hating you and start sympathising, you know the whole thing has truly gone tits up.

And this is exactly what is wrong with football today!! It's not about building a club or a team, it's about short term gain. No wonder the likes of Leeds etc went into meltdown.

Bullock, Deco, Shevchenko all very old with no-one to replace them when Jose left. When the chq book closed Mourinhio had no idea what to do and got out of dodge before his reputation got damaged. He hadn't brought through any sort of youth system player, even though Chelsea had spoken of being self-sufficient within a few year

Ageing: Makalele, Shevchenko, Deco,
Worthless: Sidwell, Cole, Pizarro, Bridge, Ben-Haim, Di Santo, Beletti,
