Is Mourinho really that special?

Don't underestimate what good a few trophies would do Manchester City in terms of morale, world profile and ability to attract players.

The way you're talking, you'd refuse to go out with Kylie Minogue because there was a chance she'd dump you.

If she dumps you, go out and chat up a supermodel. There's much more chance of her going out with you after you've been knobbing Kylie.

You miss out another part of that analogy. you're already knobbing Scarlett Johansen who is with you for life, do you dump her to knob Kylie once?

In this instance I'd say both you and Scarlett Johansen have agreed it's just a fling.

And word on the street is that Kylie's about to split up with her lover. There are stories from good sources that she's already beem texting suggestively ;-)

Despite the rather sexist analogy going on here. I think this hits the crux of it. If RM is here for 10 years builds something a la Wenger at Arsenal but with more cash wins three league titles and maybe something larger, would you sacrifice that for the temporry success JM would undoubtedly bring.
 
He'd be ok for the quick fix such as a couple of trophies to whet the appetite, but Mourinho is not a stayer, and I would want someone who would stay for at least the average time of Moyes, FergieMk1 and FergieMk2, 'bout twelve or thirteen years! As Jose been anywhere for that length of time?

Cant believe Didsbury Dave's been flirt txting with Kylie....Is he Vernon Kay in disguise!

"Sexist" hahahahahahahahahahahaha

Heard it all now.

If you started going out with someone and were head over heels in love, would you agree in advance to both sit down and review the situation in 6 months time?<br /><br />-- Mon Mar 29, 2010 2:38 pm --<br /><br />

Whet the appetite?

I'd sell me Gran for a "couple of trophies".

I could die a happy man.
 
a shocking Roma side will win the league this year, so no he isn't special.

Mancini > Mourinho

Ha ha ha.

Your personal crusade against Mourinho is pretty funny...I hope for your sake that Mancini gets to keep his job in the summer, otherwise the about face you do may just give you whiplash...;- )
 
Hang on, people say Mourinho isn't a stayer but he was at Chelsea from June, 2004 to September, 2007 - that is over 3 years and he was pushed out of that club, he didn't want to go and loved it.

If he came to City he would probably stay a while because a). he wants to manage in England, b). it would kill any chances of him going to the rags (who he wants to manage but they won't take an ex-City boss).

All said, I think we should stick with Mancini despite the irresistable temptation of Mourinho.

I'm with you pasta, what is amazing is that billy accuses you of a personal crusade against a manager that we don't even have, yet the fact that you clearly support the manager that is striving to get us to the illusive 4th spot and is our manager gets no mention. eemmmmmmmmmm wonder why!

The point I make is that taking those results in isolation doesn't prove anything one way or the other. Mourinho is a winner, Mancini is a winner, etc. etc. etc.

In the end we will not be deciding either manager's future, but it's churlish to question the record of either manager. They are both in fact very special, which is why they have so much silverware at such a young age in management terms...
