José Mourinho thread - Page 2 - TalkSoccer

Mourinho gave Crespo a run out when fit and wanted him back but Crespo just didn't like England.

As I said in the Fenebache thread I hope you don't get him as he's a top coach. He gets the players on his side and EVERYBODY has to work hard to get in the team, so Zlatan may have to get his finger out now and do his share of the running. I think Adriano is a lost cause at Inter.

I hope this rumours are true. I think Inter need some new influence. Mancini have done a good job, but I think Mourinho is the man who can take europe with storm. It's time we see Inter wins the Champions League. At least reach the final. They have good enough squad to win.

I disagree with him selling Adraino, Jose loves that type of player, mccarthy and Didier Drogba he managed to pass, he would motivate Adraino , make him feel wanted, get best out of him.

LAF is true what he says, Crespo just didn't like England, where Jose very much liked Crespo, proberly more for the fact Crespo was a family man , like Jose where family does come first.

Truth be told who ever gets Jose they can expect to win a hole lot of trophies and pretty fast.

Maybe he'll just sit out the entire European season before managing another club? At that point he'll have his choice at just about every top team. Who knows what's going to happen with Juve, Milan, Barca, or Real Madrid by season's end? The longer he's without a club, more teams will be seeking his services.

Sort of how I view Mourinho actually. But I don't see Moratti loosing confidence in Mancini this easily. If anything happens it would be at the end of the year.

Mourinho's track record is great tbh. Inter won't play football like Roma but it will be better than what Mancini is doing (again Mourinho is 10 times the coach Mancini is).

Also Mourinho may be able to tempt some of his Chelsea players to Inter.

No doubt I rate Mourinho over Mancini, but Moratti has a big heart and won't let go of his Scudetto winner that easily.

Roma plays entertaining football, but I'm not sure that Inter or Mancini should follow that path.

Mourinho will bring more disipline, I'm still skeptical about of his approach on players.

Mancini is not fooling me or selective people in the media. Mancini is trying to be a Capello clone. Power down the middle, and if Mourinho is the same, I'm not sure that I want him.

**Sven** · 22-09-2007, 08:03 AM

Skeptic on what? The players loved him, the ony one that didn't was the one who he didn't trust.

And he loved his players, it didn't even have to be a cup or CL win for him to go on the pitch and public huge his own players.

Hearing something new yesterday, Chelsea cheif of media and publications said Jose was all for getting Sheva, each year he was on his top three choices for brining to Chelsea, so he wanted him, just Sheva never produced the goods. Things Jose said about him where true, he tired out too soon around 60 min mark even when full fitness, something Jose didn't like.

**Mighty T.A.L.** · 22-09-2007, 08:49 AM

Mourinho said goodbye to all players at Chelsea except two players. Obviously one of them was Schevchenko...But I wonder who the the other player was...

**LAF** · 22-09-2007, 09:12 AM

The players adored him at Chelsea and Porto (Drogba was allegedly in tears when Mourinho said 'goodbye'). The only thing Mourinho is bad for is turning the public/media against your club as he is a bad winner and loser.

Football Fetish · 22-09-2007, 01:56 PM

Mourinho said yesterday that he plans on learning a new language, either Italian or German.

LaVecchiaSignora · 22-09-2007, 03:57 PM

I think that for sure is he comes its going to be to inter...none of the other teams really make sense...I mean mancini has done a good job here but i think that if any team is going to dump their coach for him it would be inter...doesnt make sense for milan to do it, and i dont think juve will either...the other teams dont even come close to being able to afford him

**Jager** · 23-09-2007, 05:31 AM

This is very simple, if JM is available at the end of the season, then we can talk. If he isn't, this a null point. Inter will not fire Mancini during the season. That would be suicide. I also don't see JM coaching the Portugese national side.

His ego and his outlook is geared towards club football, not unlike Capello.

He needs the pressures of club football, and I think he wants to take over Inter. I do know that Moratti has had some contact with him in the past.

We'll just have to wait and see. I think JM goes into hiding for a bit.

Inter chief Massimo Moratti has reassured Roberto Mancini that his job is not under threat after a nightmare week for the Nerazzurri.

A depleted Beneamata squad slipped to an opening Champions League defeat away to Fenerbahce and were held 2-2 by Livorno within seven days.

The reigning Serie A champions have looked some way short of the formidable form they displayed in their procession to the title last term, but Moratti is keeping the faith.

“Mancini is in no danger at all - I’m sure that he will come good and he can relax,” he told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“The absentees are hurting us because the players who are on the pitch feel indispensable during the game.

"The system isn’t working as it was and if it was easy to see why we would have sorted it out by now.

“But I am reasonably optimistic and have faith that the situation isn’t that serious because the Coach and players are motivated and will show the right spirit.

The next fortnight will be a crucial period for Mancini’s men as they face Sampdoria and Roma in the League and PSV in Europe.

With gaps appearing in defence, the Biscione are set to appeal stopper Douglas Maicon’s three-game ban for kicking out at Erjon Bogdani against Livorno.

“The most important game is undoubtedly the cup game, but they are all big ones and Roma will be tough,” Moratti admitted on La7’s Le partite non finiscono mai.

“The Champions League is huge, but you can’t snub the Scudetto especially because we have won so few and we must show our strength in the League.”
