The New Manager Thread

[Chris]

He'd come here next summer if we're sorted. Its one of the biggest clubs in the world, managers get supported in the ground like nowhere else and whoever delivers the next league title would be an absolute hero.

I'd be very surprised if we are sorted though, these seem to just cling on and on. Until we're rid of the disease that is killing this club it doesnt really matter if we have Jose Mourinho or Glen Roeder in charge, managers can only do so much.

You think he'd only stay in Madrid for one year?

If he wins the League and the Champions League in his first season then he'll **** off having pissed off and alienated everyone in Spain.

Quite a big if though

What if he doesnt?

Maybe he'll get sacked

Either way, it's one year, eh?

Well, with Madrid's track record of sacking managers, plus Mourinho's explosive personality and habit for making an awful lot of enemies in a very short space of time I would say he wont be there long. I'd be amazed if it's as much as three seasons. More likely two or one.

Anyway, you hire Mourinho you are pretty much guaranteed immediate trophies. Despite the quality of Barcelona. All he needs to do is win head-to-head game and he'll win the league.

Depends on when Fungus decides to retire.

Based on his last 7 years in football management, what evidence is there to suggest he wont have immediate success with Real Madrid ?

None.

mate i am a huge mourinho fan and have advocated him for here so this isnt just a mourinho hater saying this.

there is no clear evidence then the things i have stated before and its only my opinion and yes it flys against everything that we know.....but sometimes you get a hunch and i might and probably will be wrong

remember with chelsea he had more money to spend than anyone else had ever before.

he built a team that was already on an upward curve he did well you have to admit to get it to gel quickly but he did leave an aging team,

at inter they where and maybe are the most powerful team in italy. juve had been relegated and inter got some of their best players . juve are still recovering and milan got deducted points and where reaching the end of the era as an old team

so its not as impressive as it first looks. it is impressive but none of that points to winning the league with madrid.

you sometimes need to scratch the surface and look a bit deeper

Does anyone get the feeling if we really went for Mourinho he'd have been tempted to be our manager this summer?(even with all the problems at LFC)

I watched his interview on ITV after the match last night and he said no other Club apart from Madrid had approached him and he kept mentioning his love of football in England..almost sounded downbeat that ONLY Madrid wanted him.

That's just the impression i got anyway. I was maybe putting 2 and 2 together...
