Prestwich_Blue said:Can't answer in one word and asking that makes the thread largely pointless.
The pros:
An experienced manager used to managing a top team in one of the biggest leagues.
He's shown he can get points against the smaller clubs.
Seems to have good tactical awareness.
Has tightened up the defence significantly.
The cons:
Seems to divide the players.
Not quite so good against the bigger teams.
Not a great record in Europe as a manager.
His seemingly cautious approach is not one that City fans particularly like.
Overall I don't think he's enough of an improvement over Hughes to give us a shot at the title so NO.
I agree. I honestly think if (and thats a big if) the chance came to appoint Mourinho in the summer we should go for it.

Read that article. What stood out to me was:
The Inter players' belief has swelled under Mourinho and the confidence that the Portuguese instills in his teams has given them the feeling that they are capable of beating anyone.
"We have worked so hard on our mental approach under Mourinho to convince ourselves we are a great team," reveals Dejan Stankovic, while Sneijder says: "Jose is a fantastic trainer. He knows exactly how to manage both on an individual level and for the whole team.
"That is why I am not scared about the semi-final. He will give us information nobody else can give us. That is the power of Mourinho."
He would completely change the whole culture and mindset of Manchester City. For too long the club has had an inferiority complex, this showed in the derby with the way the players showed too much respect to United. I'm not saying for a instant the guy wants or is coming in the summer, but if the chance came, and we didn't take it, we could really regret it.

We have to do it our own way no point in repeating history hes already done the same with Chelsea.
