I'd love him to be our boss, and I think he's so nice to us that h maybe fancies the challenge... Or, I could be blindly optimistic.

To be fair, he wasn't moaning, just stating that Mourinho wouldn't come here. Which is true.
Glad someone else spotted it. I thought I was missing something.

Thinking Maureen won't come to plucky old us is moaning now?

Madrid are only the second best team in Spain because they are behind one of the greatest club sides the world has seen in Barcelona.

Point I was making is why would he quit Madrid where he has the challenge to make Real the best team in Spain and take on an even bigger challenge in taking us to the top of the Premiership ? he won't quit Spain till he has won La Liga IMHO as he only believes in trophies, he would not quit with unfinished business.

He is coming to England next. Fact. That leaves him a few options:

1) Man Utd after Ferguson leaves. Poisoned chalice IMO.
2) Chelsea. Nooope.
3) Arsenal after Wenger leaves (actually, thinking about it... why couldnt this happen? :think:)
4) Man City. Will they get rid of Mancini? Possibly if Mourinho was available...
5) Spurs. Young up-and-coming team that he could easily become a hero at with a few simple changes. He buys the great striker we need (which would be a lot easier with his reputation) and we're sorted more or less. He also knows and likes Levy

I like your posts rebrab, but don't kid yourself

Mourinho will manage a Champions League team that will pay him a stack of cash

Money talks, bullshit walks

It won't be us

Unfortunately, especially with Ferguson's quotes today... options 1,3,4 seem far more likely. Or even option 2. I really don't think, despite some people's protestations to the contrary, that Jose will see Man Utd as a poisoned chalice. The guy is a serial winner - if anything he'd like the chance to top the champagne socialist and prove who is really king... I think he would appreciate us as a club, but we aren't an Inter or Real and I think if we're honest it would be a little unprecedented for a manager of such a calibre to take over a club like ours. Wendy was manager of Sevilla and however highly rated he was not the manager of Madrid. Can't see it happening, I think he just has a soft spot for us because we are a great, lovely, "traditional" (in the words of VDV) club.

I think we'd be all up in the grill of the mini Jose currently at Porto though and why not..

Total class manager, he was interviewed on french TV after the game and wasn't gloating or anything, he still said that the job wasn't done and it will be difficult at WHL even when the Arse supporting commentators were persistant in saying that Spurs got hammered by Real, he was not of their thinking and said anything can happen in football and nothing is guaranteed, I would love him as our manager.

Heads up Yids, keep the faith in our team and manager they need us more than anything at this time, get behind em.

Class act, his interview on Sky was just humble.

Said with ten men it's literally impossible at this level. And that the tie wasn't over.

Look for it on Sky. Hes a top guy

Shame he'll most likely end up in Manchester after Madrid. I'd have his babies.

No chance, if he comes back to England he will go to Man U, city, or Liverpool. Even if he did come to us fans would soon turn on him if he wasn't playing the Tottenham way.

Tottenham fans will never be pleased, we will always find something to pick at. Fact.

Think he is Manchester bound but to which club I don't know. I am also convinced that he wanted to come here but had already accepted the Chelsea job. He said after Porto won the Champs League that there was a club he wanted to go to and a club he had given his word to go to. Us and Porto had good relations at the time. He is genuinely nice about us though and he was good in the interview after the game today.

Mourinho wants to come back to England. There are plenty of reasons he might end up at Spurs - maybe he wants a project or maybe he wants to do something besides deal with the massive egos and expectations at big clubs. Obviously I dont know him personally, so I cant say, but I dont thinks its impossible. If he does want to come back any time soon, there probably wont be a job for him at Chelsea, United or Arsenal.

He's mates with Harry and Levy so will obviously be pleasant about Spurs. He's always very nice about us (and often rude about Wenger/Arsenal, which makes him all the more likeable).

But he really wouldn't come at this or any foreseeable moment in time. He may if he won the CL and La Liga at Real Madrid. Anything less and it wouldn't be considered 'job done'. Maybe at that time, we would be on the lookout for a manager of the highest calibre and United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City ALL have a solid management solution in place that would make Jose superfluous.

But that situation seems pretty unlikely. So we'll probably have to go on with Jose as our mate but never our manager.

We definitely had a chance of having Mourinho, but sadly I think it disappeared along with the Olympic Stadium!

Don't be surprised to see him pop up in North London though with a team that is massively underachieving and who's manager has been there too long.

Maybe with big investers, a nice hefty wage and a lot of love from the chairman, this could happen. If he is coming to England it is either to Spurs, Man City or Man U in my opinion.... so we have an outside chance of landing him.
