His fans brag that he hits the ground running, He isnt a long term coach but one for short term success

How has this panned out in 3 wins out of 13 games. No one has explained this miserable record

I will respect Jose Mourinho if he goes to Aberdeen FC in Scotland or go to Everton and win the EPL with them.

You are even pushing it too far.

Is winning or doing well in the CL with Inter Milan too much to ask for? Inter has the name and the money and they even gave him a free hand to buy anyone he wants.

In terms of talents in Europe How many teams are better than Inter. A team that has Etoo/Zlatan, Maicon, Julio Cesar, Sneijder and Milito is not a small team anyday

No mind Dayo, if he needs a lesson on how a team living on old glory can be disgraced he need look no further than the 'Nazi' team that was disgraced by Davor Suker n co in 1998.

Disgraced by Davor Suker yet since 1998 they have played in a world cup final and a Europ final when was the last time your sorry England ever played a final?

42years ago

Sup DK. . . . so Bayern lives to fight another day?. . . .am supporting y'all 100% against Juventus. . . . then hopefully, a 2nd round clash with Arsenal!

Bayern lives to fight another day. We are going to Turin for war hopefully Robbery would be back.

Crash to Ass-anal? No no no that can never happen.

I personally prefer to play Man Utd for long term beef sake. You cant win any bragging right by beating Assanala club synonymous with failure.

@Toba, The forces against Lothar are too much. He couldnt get a job in Germany because he is seen as "too Bayern" and given the beef for Germany in the Bundesliga no club wants him.

I would welcome him at the Front office anyday

i you how many CL games did Fabio Capello win with Real Madrid you couldnt come up with a figure

In the CL out of 8 games Capello won 4 drew 2(lyon and Kiev) lost 2.(Lyon and Bayern) far better than Jose's

Now how many CL games did Marcelo Lippi win with Inter Milan

Marcelo Lippi's Inter Milan did not play in the CL so no basis for comparison

How many CL games did Alex Fergie won in the 05/06 season

I took Mourinhos 2 seasons in Inter Milan which spans 13 games tell me any 2 consecutive season where Fergie won just 3 games in 13

GAYYners how Market??

^^ I think its an EPL mentality calling 30yr olds youngsters

let him dispute it and i would tell you more

So you mean you dont know the poster is KB1 and he has been active on this forum since 2008 July

He lives in the east coast I think he is from Joe Biden's state.

Sorry to burst your bubble

@dayo, how many of those 13 games has he lost ?

In 13 games
won 3 vs Kiev, Anathosis Famagusta and Panathinaikos

Lost 4 vs Panathinaikos, Werder Bremen, Man Utd and Barca

Drew 6 vs Rubin Kazan, Anathosis Famagusta, Kiev, Bremen, Barca and Man Utd (Most of these draws were at San Siro)

This doesnt bear a resemblance to the profile of a top coach

Is Lothar going to be the new coach a Bayern?

Now tell me what miracle can make Liverpool qualify

This is not about comparing rather its about how a top coach has won just 3 games out 13 in the cl

Typical idiotic yarn from edoyad

All the German representatives have a decent chance of qualifying for the next stage but a combination of Guru maharaji, tb joshua and Okija shrine plus Fadeyi Oloro can't save Liverpool

In the Europa cup all German clubs have a good chance of qualifying but Aston Villa has been eliminated before the competition started

You now see how senseless your argument is

Capello surely won more than 3 games in the cl in one season this is Jose second CL with Inter FFS

Wolfsburg qualification depends on whether CSKA can beat Besiktas away or draw

Wolfsburg has a better head to head against CSKA and if Man Utd continues their unimpressive CL form in wolfsburg might even top the group

Liverpool won the cl beating Juve, chelsea and Milan how is that a fluke?
Benitez repeated the feat two years later beating barca and chelsea again
Compare Mourinhos record to that

No one has been able to explain Jose 3 win in 13 CL games for Inter

@Sauron, Are you sure EPL had 3 representatives pre Benitez?

Hope alive We desperately need Robbery
I need to contact Madam Kovacevic over Robbery

3 wins in 13 CL games I dont know any top manager with that record

Make Liverpool competitive? Are you serious?
How competitive are Liverpool FC?
They are out of Carling Cup, disgraced in the UCL and they are 13 points below Chelsea AFTER just 13 league games.

There are fears Benitez will not qualify for UCL next season with the way Tottenham, Citeh and Villa have shown so far and this coincides with the new FA rule that all Premiership clubs must fine tune their squad to 25 players. Where would Rafa be cos currently. . .he has 67 players in his squad.
Letz call a spade what it is. . . . . .Rafa is a disgrace.

Pre Benitez, Liverpool hardly qualifies for the CL Newcastle and Leeds take the position

Benitez took Liverpool to a 2005 CL trophy, 2007 CL final, 2008- CL Semis, 2009 CL quarters.

Mourinho took Inter who had won 3 Serie A on the bounce and won a fourth one BIG DEAL?
Mourinho took Inter Milan who was average in CL to Woeful in CL.

Scholes, Giggs, Ferdinand and Neville were also there when United crashed out of the group stage in 2005/6 UCL and couldn't win the league for 3 seasons. . . . .
If another manager had been employed in 06/07 with United winning 3 on a bounce, we would be saying the same thing.

Fergie learnt from the fiasco of 2006 and built on it. Succes doesnt come by luck, Its a result of planning.
And the result is the back to back EPL titles and 2 CL finals

I mean the quality of Liverpool's rivals in that era compared to Inter Milan's rivals.

Benitez had stiffer opponents that what Mourinho has now So that argument is to Benitez favour

Pep inherited Xavi and Iniesta(the best midfielders in the globe).
He also inherited the triumvirate of Messi-Eto'o and Henry.
Are you shitting me? Amodu Shuaibu will win the TREBLE with these players.

All these players were there when they went trophyless and 3rd in the league behind Villareal. So what changed a 3rd placed team to treble winners

His team are still the Champions of Italy(mind you).

Mancinis team were champions of Italy too

In the same season, Benitez finished a massive 37 points behind Jose Mourinho.
Liverpool ignored the PL and concentrated more on the UCL so it's a special case.

Mourinho was hired for CL success and he has failed so far Benitez was hired to just make Liverpool more competitive and he did

It depends on the competition around the 2 teams in the period you are specifying.
Different era, different leagues, different managers. U cannot simply compare.

Which competitions are you talking about compare Liverpool 0f 2003 to Inter of 2007

So he inherited so much crap the same craps Mancini managed to better CL group stages results or did all the players suddenly turn crap the moment Mourinho joined?

How many quality players did Benitez inherit at Liverpool to win the CLfirst season

Inter pre Mourinho >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Liverpool pre Benitez

Pep doesnt have the reputation the Mourinho has and to Peps credit Barcelona was coming from 2 seasons trophyless till Pep turned it around making them play the best football ever. Surpassing all his predecessors

He inherited quacks at Inter Milan

He inherited Maicon and Julio Cesar they are top 3 in their positions inherited Zlatan

@Sauron,

At Inter he was given a free hand to manage his purchases and he still he is woeful.

@omo ibo,

3 wins in 13 games is woeful cherry picking performances in 2 CL season?

I'm sorry Sneijder and Etoo were not his choice.

He wanted a midfielder. Sneijder, a good player, not getting games at Real madrid was available. he took the plunge.
We all know about Etoo. He clearly did not want Abrahamovic to leave.

Muntari?? Balotelli?? Pssshh

Quaresma clearly did not live up to expectation. This can happen to the best of players.
Does veron ring a bell?

Now tell us what he has achieved at Inter Milan except winning 3 out of 13 CL games as Inter's manager

^^Topic never said he was a coach at Barca. I started from Porto

How can you explain away the fact that in last years CL with Anarthosis Famagusta, Panathinaikos and Bremen in 6 games he only won 2 against all these GREATS.

Last season of all teams in the second round Inter Milan had the least point.

This season against Kiev, Rubin Kazan and Barca in 5 games he has only won 1.

So what makes him a good coach or what makes him better than Mancini. He has a better squad than Mancini but Mancini had better results.

Mourinho has Sneijder, Etoo, Milito, Balotelli, Chivu, Lucio, Maicon , Julio Cesar (These last 2 are considered to be one of the best in their position)

He was given a free hand by Morrati that he even bought Quaresma Last winner of Ballon D'Oro-Dustbin player of the year, Muntari

The way he was outplayed by Man Utd and Barca last nite without seeming to have a clue

Today might probably be Van Gaals game at the Allianz if things dont go our way.

I bet most people wont agree with you Infact a lot of people would say he is one of the top 4 managers in Europe.

This was thrown into serious doubt given the way he was undressed by Man Utd last season or Barca this season.

Outplayed by Dynamo Kiev, Rubin Kazan, Anarthosis Famagusta, Panathinaikos and Bremen.

No one would argue he doesnt have a good team at Inter.

BTW Hitzfeld won CL in Dortmund and at Bayern in 5 seasons and played 3 finals, within that space of time.

He also qualified Switzerland (An average team) for the World cup easily

I have followed the career of Jose Mourinho since early in the century and I personally feel he is overrated.

He won the CL with Porto and the only top opposition he defeated was Man utd (controversially) That same season he lost woefully to Real Madrid in the groups.

He came to Chelsea spent a lot of money and won 2 EPL titles. And a lot of people ranked him as one of the best in the game.

His record at another big club INTER MILAN is nothing short of dismal.

Last season He struggled to qualify in a group of Panathinaikos, Anarthosis and Werder Bremen actually through last season he only managed 2 wins in the CL what was the excuse (Still learning the ropes)

This season placed in a group of Barcelona, Rubin Kazan and Kiev, He has only won one game - a last minute effort against Kiev.

His Supporters would argue he has won the league in 3 different places, But realistically, Any not-so-smart person would win the league with FC Porto and even Inter Milan (Post Calcicopoli) Mancini who wasnt highly rated won with Inter.

Now I ask what has Mourinho done to deserve the hype that follows him everywhere?

Watching his side play against a depleted Barcelona yesterday and looked so clueless I wonder what the "Special one" has added to Inter Milan

I personally think he is a good motivator like Klinsmann but technically and tactically deficient

England also won a world cup in 66. . .(43 years ago).

When England won a world cup, You were how old? -17 right?

Carrick and Ronaldo don't play in the same position. . . . That analogy is daft.

Thats too weak, step up your game.
Rooney has played in 2 CL finals means he is better than Ronaldo Lima

Olodo. . . . . . . .It is their club form that would take them to the World Cup.

Nooo If thats true Henry would have painted Korea 2002, Euro 2004 and Germany 2006 with goals.
Pauleta should have been a legend by now
Henry, Trezeguet, and Cisse were highest goal scorers in their different leagues but couldnt score 1 goal between them at Mundial

Club form differs from NT form. You are playing with different players under different managers
