I think it might happen. If Pep says no I can see Jose coming back. He's clearly wrapping things up in Spain and looking for a job here at one of the big 3.
I can't see Mourinho going back to Chelsea. He's more likely to go to City so he can ram it down Roman's throat. He's a vindictive bastard. One of the reasons he's so successful.
Personally I thought Benitez got the reception he did at least partly due to his comments when taking over. Claiming he didn't remember calling Chelsea fans a bunch of plastics with plastic flags, and then saying he was sure the fan would be "good for him" cos they wanted a top manager, whereas a mid table club would be unhappy with him, was never going to go down well! It seemed to me to have an undertone of "Why would the fans complain? I'm a great manager, only **** fans would complain about having me as a boss" His comments honestly seemed to me to be a bit arrogant, when he needed to show a bit of humility and apologise for what he said in 2007 if he genuinely wanted to get the fans onside. But then maybe he just realised that the success of a Chelsea manager bears no relation to what Chelsea fans think?
That's a little unfair UIR. Many supporters I know were surprised with the appointment of Roy, but were prepared to get behind him. However, he got both tactics and press conferences dreadfully wrong, so the support wore thin much faster that it would normally have done. As a wag said, on his first day, he was shown the trophy room and promptly sh1t himself.
What did you think of In Bruges? I know there's a thread for this, but you haven't answered me on there.
I watched the first half of the game yesterday and couldnt believe the planks waving Rafa out banners??? weather they like It or not he's the new guy In charge and are they thick enough to think Abramovich will sack him because they have wasted the red and blue Ink In their printers???? They need to grow up and support the club not certain people... Abramovich could up and furk off tommorow and take his cash with him where would they be then?
