Mourinho or Mancini

[Ray78]

Hypothetically speaking Mourinho replacing Mancini is a no brainer , but I am convinced he will end up at Chelsea.

If it was a done deal I doubt he would have been so sycophantic at the swamp today.

He always bigs up the opposition prior to a huge game, keep the enemy close

Spot on. Not that I want Mancini out, just think he wants to go back to Italy and not pressing for guardiola leaves only Jose and we know the owners would have him here in a flash!

Do we?

Begiristain was party to the appointment of Guardiola instead of Mourinho in 2008.

And with City placing so much emphasis on the Academy I don't think the short term chq book management of Mourinho fits the job description. He'll also end up getting beaten by Man Utd and his prestige this season will have taken a big knock. Strikes me as odd that fans wont tolerate Mancini's City finishing 2nd but would be happy to see Mourinho and Klopp come into City on the back of similarly unsuccessful domestic seasons

Is Ronaldo not still unsettled?

I reckon Mourinho wants Fergie's job more than anything, and I've heard Fergie had health issues in the summer (could have been a cold, granted). He might decide it's best to retire at the end of the season, Mourinho in for fergie, Ronaldo back to Old Trafford, Mourinho-Mancini rivalry upped a level and we'll have a lot bigger fight to win the league. Not to mention, THEY still wont be dead and buried.

Well they have tried to get him twice before... Or did you not know smart arse.

If United knock Madrid out Mourinho wil most likely be gone by the first week of March.

Plus, Madrid have to play Barcelona in the Cup replay at the Camp Nou before the United second leg, they could potentially be out of all competitions in the next few weeks.

Speculation is going to be huge of this situation happens.

Mourinho was interviewed though, the Barcelona hierachy obviously respected him and didn't dismiss him out of hand.

However I don't think his style of play would really fit into the attacking 4-3-3 our directors have lined up for next season. I don't see him at Chelsea either due to Emenalo. I see him at PSG, waiting on Man United.

Countless times Mourinho has strolled down the touchline or turned around to the fans, gestured or done some sort of action to wind up the fans in his past when he get's abused from fans or chanted at.

He came to City in the CL and everyone started chanting at him, and really having ago.

What did he do? he laughed ...and that was it.

Never once did anything to react to the crowd, not saying it ever meant anything but he certainly didn't seem to have that arrogance or cockiness when it come to firing back at the fans.

I've seen in the past stories he apparently doesn't like us, i don't believe that. I believe if the owners approached him in the summer, he would be over here like a shot.

I don't get this Mou talk, like Mou is the saint of something.

Does nobody here actually know that Mou's Madrid is currently in 3rd place and is more than 12 points off Barcelona?

Mou ended in poor relationships with the superiors in Chelsea, and currently probably in Madrid.
Mou never lasted more than 3 years in most of the clubs he went.


Only thing I like about Mou is he instills an "us against the world" attitude into the players.

Have you got any quotes from our owners regarding this?
Cheers.
