What's Mourinho said?

[g.red]

10million a year says no chance.

It will be City or Madrid!

[Chazza]

It will be City or Madrid!

or Villa

We cant afford a transfer budget let alone a pay off to a manager and his staff so unless Rafa walks or goes to another club it aint happening.

I dont think Mourinho's wages would be that big a deal if Rafa left but no way can we afford to pay off Rafa and hire Mourinho.

We'd need Madrid to come and poach rafa.

or Villa

Good shout!

We'd need Madrid to come and poach rafa.

You know I never really understand this Rafa to Madrid thing. I know it was a big part of his life.

But he's fought hard here to get the control over transfers and the Academy and he will never get any such control at Madrid. We all know he's a control freak!

Rafa to madrid is a none starter imo. They sacked Capello for not playing the real madrid way and he won the league with them twice!

So why have they approached him before then?

[MrsB]

If Rafa leaves we'll probably get Phil Brown.

[g.red]

So why have they approached him before then?

Because they're control freaks as well! They try to control all their managers, that's why they're not there for long!

[CJ]

yeah i cant see rafa to madrid until he is a fair bit older. the coming home thing.

he wants control and they dont give it. also if you sack capello and del bosque why would rafa go?

Has Rooney left the Allianz on crutches yet?

I want Rafa to stay, but if circumstances change then Mourinho would be a good alternative option. He would motivate the players better than Benitez in my opinion, but I think that Rafa is probably a better technical coach. Managing Liverpool would be a dream job for anyone, we have a history that is unsurpassed by any team on the planet. Any manager would want to become part of our legendary folklore. We're Liverpool Football Club we support the best club in the World bar none.

Wrong thread

Yep. The night before a huge game for them he announces to the worlds media that he wants to leave the players and coach in another country!
