Personally I'd welcome Mourinho.
i have had enough of Rafa, and i believe that he is no longer able to motivate some of his players. Either that or he is unable to alter things to get us out of this rut.
I think it's great that so many people are so behind Rafa, but the league is what we want and we have been nothing short of bollocks in the prem for a while.
We desperately need a change of management......

Jose,i`m still 50/50 on as a replacement for Rafa after next season if we don`t compete for the PL.Rafa has been bargain basement shopping for three yrs under Moores.We got Torres,Mascher,Lucas and Babel under G+H.Skrtl might be Sami`s replacement until Agger is fit but the Yanks gotta front for 4 new players next summer.if they don`t then Jose can do no better than Rafa.you can only win the PL when you have a team that are strong enough.So far Rafa has not been given the money to challenge.

there's no doubt that should the liverpool manager's job become available then i would want all the best candidates considered for the role.
annoyingly mourinho is one of the them, but IF he got the job id back him as our boss- though i personally wouldn't choose him.
look at some of shank's quotes about refs, other teams and then compare them in context with mourinho's. not much difference imo considering the info hungry world we live in.
and has anyone thought that klinsmann was the cheese?

I`m not convinced myself mate. I dont think he has what it takes tactically to outwit other top managers. He has a VERY effective (but painful on the eye) plan A, but he does not have any form of plan B other than to throw a centre half on up front for 10 minutes.Originally posted by desertscouser View PostIf Rafa is sacked, then on a purely footballing basis Mourinho would be the best and only replacement.
For 2 seasons, chelsea had more financial muscle than EVERYONE and they won the league twice. During this period I wondered how he would compete if another team suddenly started spending big. United did, and I got my answer.
On a pureely footballing basis, id rather have a lot of different managers than him.
On a personal level, id rather not go the game while the cunt was in charge

do we want to win trophies or do we want to entertain. Ideally both but in the short term its one or the other.
Rafa has brought us the champions league, fa cup and supercup. His style of football can hardly be called entertaining but it works in the cup competitions.
For me the ideal choice would be Guus Hiddink. He knows how to organise teams defensively, his teams are always very fit and tactically he is normally spot on. You only have to look at the effect his departure has had on PSV and Austrailia.
He would give both entertainment and a winning mentality, additionally he speaks english. The only thing against him is his age - saying that Ferguson is still around at the age of 70(ish).[B]Sir Isaac Newton knew the universal law of karma - any action has its equal and opposite reaction.[B]

The thing is, you don't have to be a master tactician to win the premiership. Demento and Wenger seldom change their tactics for a premiership game. They set their stall out and play the same way almost every single match, be it home or away. And if you grouped Chelsea under mourinho along with oursleves, Arsenal and the scum I bet that Mourinho's head to head record against the others would be far superior.Originally posted by paulcooper4 View PostI`m not convinced myself mate.

On the flip side, in the CL, tactics usually decide a tie and there's no one on thi planet like Rafa in that regard. In European competition, he has no equal but in the premiership his overly tactical approach to every game has cost us in the league. I genuinely believe that we will never win the premiership because of his obsession with tactics. Whereas I believe that Mourinho would get the very best out of the side and let's face it, he knows how to win the premiership.

Mourinho took over a side with Cech, Lampard, Terry, Robben and Makelele already there. He bought the likes of Jiri Jarosik (now plying his trade at Krylya Sovetov
), Kezman, Del Horno (for about £8m), Maniche, Ferreira (£13m!), SWP for £24m (!), Carvalho (£20m!!!), Kalou and ****ing Boulharouz.
Yeah, let's get him in!!!Thanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’
