However its unlikely he will come to City, but he'll use us to get what he ultimately wants, and he won't give a toss for our club, I've little doubt about that, and if he thinks coming to Manchester a year early might help him get his ultimate prize, he would.
If he won us something of course it would help him, however if he won the champions league at RM he'd find it hard to leave there.hgblue said:I fail to see how coming to City helps him get the United job.

One thing is certain about Mourinho, is he'll look after himself, and not any club he manages.

hgblue said:He doesn't need to come here to improve his cv, and I doubt very much that being manager of their local rivals would endear him to those of a Red persuasion. In my opinion, when he returns to England it will be for a long term project. I only hope that it's with us.

Winning something at City would improve anyones CV, since nobody has done it in 34 years.
Mourinho only has one long term project, and that's Mourinho. If he comes he'll be gone in 2 years, and that's no use to City (in my opinion).
Not sure what's weird about it, if he won something here and left then he'd be following exactly his normal path, and probably leave us better than when he arrived, but leave he would if a better offer came to rub his ego.BillyShears said:That's a pretty weird thing to say...
He's left every club he joined in much better shape than when he joined - so it follows that he may be looking after himself first and foremost, but he also looks after the clubs he manages...
He hasn't won the tie yet, yes they played very well from what I saw, but its not over at 3-1. I agree totally with the rest of the quote.BillyShears said:Anyway, either way, after tonight I'm more convinced than ever that Mourinho IS the man I'd want as manager - but also that he won't be joining City this summer. Not for all the oil in Abu Dhabi...

You seem to have a very low opinion of Jose which I don't share........We can offer him the chance of a long term project to call his own, but even if you are right and he was only here for 2 years, I'm willing to bet that they would be 2 extremely successful years, and he would leave us in a much stronger position than he found us.

He won't be on their radar till Souralex leaves, but you can be sure they're on his radar.
I don't have a low opinion of his skills as manager at all, just his ego, he'd manage us fine if he came, but he'd toss us to one side as soon as he got something else to further Jose. RM, Utd, or Portugal, and an outside bet Brazil.
