Mourhino odds dropped to 6/1

[Hooch]

Do you really think there is even the slightest chance of Mourinho coming here under the current owners? I certainly don't, so I think putting money on Mourinho as our next manager is akin to flushing it down the toilet, and, for me, only a gobshite would flush his money down the toilet.

 

Yeah I do mate. It's wishful thinking really, but I just think he quite fancies it.

[Furmedge]

That's actually a good idea (not that I want Rafa sacked)

 

There'd need to be one real thick bookie to take more than £10k on that bet, never mind £120m!

[shaunstrudwick]

But they must have approached him and he didn't take it.

 

i don't think he would walk out on Inter mid-season

 

i also doubt that Mancini was their (City's) 1st choice

[StevieH]

But they must have approached him and he didn't take it.

 

I'm sure that Manchester City did approach him, but i would imagine that he is after a different challenge to what he experienced at Chelsea where he also had unlimited funds but a player (Andriy Shevchenko)was bought for him by the owner, which is similar to what city did with Robinho.

 

Mourinho clearly wants to return to this country at some stage, and when that time comes perhaps managing a club who haven't won a league title for 20 years, and may soon be previously managed by a former rival appeals to him more?

[JohnnyH]

Yeah I do mate. It's wishful thinking really, but I just think he quite fancies it.

 

I agree that he'd fancy it all right. But the owners aren't going anywhere soon, and he's not going to touch us unless he can make signings.

[Lucky Pierre]

He does, but not while all this shit's going on at board level.

[shaunstrudwick]

i think the job that Mourinho really wants the other Manc job

 

but i also think he would come here if we were to have different owners come July next year

[mattyq]

Maybe he want's to stay at Inter to win the Champions league.

Maybe he wants the Mancs job

Maybe he can't make a decision as pink gay mist is coming out of his arse.

Who the fuck knows why he didn't take the City job

[Roy Hobbs]

By different you mean rich I presume.

[StevieH]

Chelsea's hopes of landing Guus Hiddink as technical director have been hit by the Dutchman insisting he wants to remain as a coach.

 

 

The Russia boss turned down an approach from Manchester City to replace Mark Hughes and Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti is open to working alongside Hiddink at Stamford Bridge.

 

However, the 62-year-old is reluctant to give up training ground duties and has refused to consider any offer until a new president of the Russian FA is elected in early February.

[old skool tom]

theres one possibly two? reasons Mourinho may just come here...

 

a)"tonight i felt the power of anfield road,and i must say.it was magnificent"

 

b)hes an egotistical old swine and theres nothing hed love more than to have that ego of his boosted by winning the league tittle for a club that has waited almost 2 decades.

 

 

im not a massive fan of his 'brand' of football but atleast he makes his teams pull together and makes substitutions to win matches early on instead of waiting for an alarm clock to ring on 62 minutes.

And there's two reasons that he will not come here. Gillett and Hicks.

[PaulMcC]

He also knows he wouldn't win it with us without decent cash. He wouldn't even risk it. There's a reason he's managed the teams with most money in that particular country, in his last 3 jobs.

[Trumo]

I'm still waiting for Frank Ribery to join us!

 

I'm still waiting on Zinedine Zidane, Javier Zanetti and Didier Baptiste! Done deals they were. House on the Wirral and everything! That place will need a new paint job before it inevitably gets burgled whilst the owner is away at a match.

Maybe the above is another reason as to why he may take the Liverpool job. To prove that he can be successful without money.

[shaunstrudwick]

By different you mean rich I presume.

 

they don't have to be rich

 

but yeah he wouldn't come if there's no money to spend

[goatboy59]

I'm waiting for Paddy Power to suspend all betting on his departure.

 

Then I'll know it's gonna happen.

[Plev]

I wish they'd hurry up as we normally batter someone when he's supposedly walking.

I wish he would make his mind up about what he wants to do.

[Brownie]

I reckon Mourinho could still end up at City. Mancini hasn't signed a three and a half year deal as first reported, it's a six month deal, 'with an option of a further three years'.

 

Glorified caretaker role?

Where did you read that?

[Brownie]

Where did you read that?

 

This is from The Times but everything i've read has said the same:

 

Mancini also raised doubts about the length of his contract, suggesting that he had signed for “six months and three years”. Officials were unable to clarify whether that meant the deal was contingent on success in the first six months.

[PaulMcC]

This is from The Times but everything i've read has said the same:

 

Looks like he's being used for 6 months and they'll get the man they want in the summer. If they can't, they might let Mancini stay.

[Red Nick]

Mourinho would be brilliant lets hope Hermes is right

[Torvald Utne]

WERE FUCKED

 

we've been saved?
