Mancini

Totally agree. Mourinho at PSG is much more preferable to Mourinho at Chelsea. I still haven't figured out why we're not moving heaven and earth to bring him here though. Big mistake imo.

You don't know we're not tbf. Personally I think there's little doubt the conversation will have been had. May not come to anything but I don't see how you canvass for new managers and not talk to the best. Especially when it's apparent he's available. Or going to be. You would rightly have to keep it a water tight secret considering Mancini lost his last job to Mou too.

This is it mate. I can't get my head around why we'd simply stand aside and watch Mourinho rock up at Chelsea. Normally I can see the logic in a course of action, even if I don't agree with it, but this one has me stumped. I cling to the probably faint hope that it suits City and Jose to keep this secret, so the club are happy to see him linked with rival clubs, but it seems far more likely that the decision has been taken that he's not right for us. If this is the case, we will live to regret it imo.

I'm pretty calm about the whole thing. Txiki will know firsthand what it's like having Mourinho in your league. He can see how far behind the rags we are. If Mourinho does go to Chelsea, City will need a huge injection of belief going into next season and IMO that won't come from giving Mancini more time and players. His effect has already been too corrosive on the core of the current squad.

Out of interest, as I may have missed it, but why would PSG dispense with Ancelotti? Looks like the league is in the bag and made the QF of chumps on first go whilst giving Barca a decent game.

It frustrates me how PSG have made the transition to the top smoother than MCFC
Better players earlier in the project
All this about attracting top managers, they won't come etc...
Who wouldn't want this job with the infrastucture and finance available
This season could be a blessing if we start to flex our financial muscle bigtime
Any player or manager is attainable
Its time to make our mark and become a european heavyweight

This mate. Fuck any thought or worries about FFP, just like PSG surely have done and just get it done.

They don't have one club In there league dictating everything to the Fa and media you just have to look at the papers today to see who run the media

It's merely for the purpose of giving Chelsea a shove.

Beasley has written it as a favour because as it stands, Jose's preferred choices are not open to him at this stage.

That's what I don't get though mate.

Surely it's the easiest deal going to be done, if necessary and both parties want it. Chelsea have a lame duck in place and Jose is on the market having managed at Chelsea before.

If it was going to happen it would already be done and there'd be no need for a "shove".

They won't, the Qatari's like him and have gone on record in recent weeks to say "if he wants to stay, he stays". Think there's a fear the Madrid job will tempt him away.

If that was the case then I certainly can't see why Jose would want to swap jobs with him. Carlo quits PSG for a step up at Real, why would Jose see PSG as a decent career move?

I've said it tons of times. IMO there's zero chance of Mou going to manage in the fifth or sixth most competitive league in Europe no matter how much money is on offer.

Cool, agreed then mate. Just wondered if I was missing something.

Therefore going back to my post above to Tolm, the "only" place really open to Jose is Chelsea (taking us out of the equation for a minute...), so wouldn't you have thought the deal would already be done in that case seeing as there aren't really any hurdles in the way of it?
