petrusha said:I don't think this assumption is valid that Soriano knocked Mourinho back at Barcelona, he automatically would do the same here. Soriano's book makes clear that Mourinho wasn't a fit for Barcelona, at that time. Doesn't mean that Soriano would therefore deem Mourinho not a fit for City at this time. Very different conditions apply.
If City were to make a change, then the overriding requirement is for the manager with the best chance of winning stuff. We're not currently an establishment club, and what we need to drive us forward is success on the pitch. I suspect that Soriano is as likely as anyone else to see that as the priority and act accordingly.
(In any event, this is a decision that will be taken in Abu Dhabi and just implemented by the CEO, not made by the CEO himself).
BillyShears said:I'm surprised you've ruled Liverpool out. I think if he leaves Madrid this summer that'd be the obvious job for him to take in England. Although their owners aren't Mansour rich, they've got enough money to to be able to build a title winning team with Mourinho in charge.
From Mourinho's point of view, restoring Liverpool to their former glories would be arguably a bigger achievement than what he did at Chelsea, and certainly far more prestigious.

I think Mou was talking about stuff like fanbase and history. If you live in London for a while you get to realize just how many fans Spurs actually have.
Mod was obviously moved by different considerations like the fact they were willing to triple his wages and offer Champs League football. I don't think anyone at Spurs blames him for having his head turned by that offer.

In main we all thought if Mancini wins lge he stays, one of the lads said he'd stay regardless of winning lge, even if Mourinho is available. The Spud thought if we win scrape the lge title by a point or two he'd get the chop, which to me is bs.
Basically does Mourinho becomin available and City one of the teams who could meet his demands change the position Mancini will be in at end of season?

The next team Mourinho manages in England will be the rags. I'm not a gambling man but I'd definitely put money on that.
