No manager in Chelsea will ever outshine Mourinho, so also, no manager will ever outshine Sir
Alex Ferguson as Manchester United manager
Depends if he can reinvent himself, them up the east lancs road reckon there is a certain way they like their football served, they pride themselves on their youth coming through the ranks, they will demand a top 4 place as a minimum from someone that took a team of champions to the relegation zone in the season just ended.
On the plus side however the team doctor isn't in any danger of sexual discrimination and the new manager elect is steeped in nastiness and vitriol just like the former manager he'll be expected to emulate.
As a chav myself, obviously i hope Chelsea finish top, if not then i wouldn't mind Ranieri or Jose. Ranieri cause he's such a nice guy and he is with a small team.
Jose because irrespective of how last season went, he's still a chelsea legend and won us 3 pl titles. You can guarantee he will get a great reception when he comes back to the bridge irrespective of what we think of United
He'll need a **** load more than £300m to buy all the alleged transfer targets spouted by bbc salford and the rest of their fellow space cadet hacks in the tabloids.
Maybe the problem with Jose is that he demands and receives everything from his players in the first year/two years. He wants to be at the top and the players believe in him and give everything.
Then they get as good as they can be and what's next? They can't keep giving the standard he demands (and his style requires) and suddenly Jose's attitude isn't funny and charismatic... it's boring and destructive.
IT 'S DONE.SPECIAL ONE OFFICIALLY UNITED MANAGER !
Jose Mourinho and Man Utd: What they have said about each other

On Sir Alex Ferguson (December 2014): "Everything [makes him special]. His talent, the time he put his talent at the service of Manchester United and football in general. The passion that he has put in to everything, and after that in private moments, obviously, a good friend, a good person, a fantastic sense of humour. I like him very, very much." On Old Trafford (October 2015): "I went there at Soccer Aid and enjoyed it. The stadium was full and even the players who were not footballers - the actors, singers, comedians - they were feeling the atmosphere in the stadium and enjoyed it so much that I enjoyed it too, and that was just a charity game. It's a place you have to enjoy." On facing Man Utd with Real Madrid (March 2013): "It's always a privilege. Not just when you win. We all want to play against big opponents, big coaches, big players, big teams. Man Utd represents all of that." On Louis Van Gaal (April 2015): "Van Gaal is a fantastic coach and they are more than ready. I consider him a big, big friend but because of jobs, fighting for the same objectives, we are not speaking every week. But the deep feelings towards a friend doesn't change."
What can you say about a man who has won 10 Premier League titles? The proof is in his medals. Yes, maybe we are talking about the greatest Premier League player of all time.
