I love all the "it wont be Mourinho" talk.
Totally wreeks of hope rather than belief, in that these people "hope" its not Mourinho, because he is one of the two best managers in the world, the other being a certain Knighted Scot.
He will probably leave Real at the end of this season, and has said he wants his next job to be in the PL.
Where can he go?
Man Utd = No chance, unless SAF retires, which is isnt gonna happen this year.
Arsenal = They wouldnt pay him what he wanted, and again, this would only be an option if Wenger were sacked, which is unlikely.
Spurs = AVB looks to be doing a decent job and has them contending for CL spots, so dont think he will get sacked.
So if he wants to come back to the PL, its Chelsea really.
A club that he already knows the workings of, the fans already love him, the senior players adore him, and the only team he has managed with whom he hasnt won the CL before leaving (hopefully he will do it before leaving Real this year). Jose is the kind of ego that would be annoyed by that tarnish on his record and would want to change it.
For me the only thing that will stop JM coming back will be if he cant work things out with Roman in terms of board influence and signings.
I am not saying Mourinho is definately coming, but there seems to be a decent chance atleast.
