coogar: they still outspent their rivals in serie a!

No fücking way!

Juventus were the biggest spenders in Italy by a country mile during this period.

In the summer of 2009, they splashed out a whooping €50 million on the duo of Felipe Melo and Diego alone.

porto are strong in portugal

So are Benfica and Sporting!

they won titles pre mourinho and they have won plenty league titles post mourinho!

The trio of Benfica, Porto and Sporting have plundered a staggering 75 titles between them.

How Porto will win any title 'unopposed' in this country, in the midst of these traditional behemoths remains mysterious!

Porto are not even the biggest team in Portugal, that honour belongs to Benfica, the Eagles from Lisbon!

aided by a fraudulent decision of a line assistant. scholesy's valid goal was ruled offside and that goal should have ended the affair had it stood!

A supposed 'fraudulent decision' by the line man = Mourinho intimidation abi?

isn't this the reason mourinho made enemies everywhere he managed? he was chased out of italy and now he says he's got plenty of enemies in spain. benitez and wenger will not forget him in a jiffy! rijkaard, guardiola, mancini, etc all have one issue or the other with jose. mourinho is bad press - he's trouble!

Again, how does this equate to intimidation of opponents?

If he couldn't intimidate Lo Monaco of ordinary Palermo, how can he possibly intimidate these juggernauts?

the money helped him a lot......

His most successful spells have come with teams who are no where near the top of the football money tree!

SailorXY: Carrick will walk in & play beside Ramirez in the Chelsea holding midfield

How does this translate into him ruling Europe?

Is the Chelsea holding midfield the benchmark for the position in Europe?


Why can't he walk in and play alongside Pirlo/Vidal at Juve

Let him walk in and play alongside Schweini at Bayern

Ninja can't even hold down a position in the untalented Three Lions midfield

coogar: inter and porto were the biggest spenders in italy and portugal in the years jose mourinho was their manager. being the biggest spender gives him the liberty to win the league unopposed and more breathing space to concentrate in europe without having to worry about title race.

Majority of Mourinho's signings at Inter were castaways! Players who have literarily been ostracized from their teams. Only Milito (which could hardly be described as major transfer coup then) was still a toast of his team when he was signed! Is it the hallmark of big spenders to go about signing players deemed surplus to requirements?

Also, how Porto won the league 'unopposed' with the perennial challenge of Benfica and Sporting is mysterious!

yes - he has been successful in those cup competitions with all sorts of gamesmanship and intimidation of his opponents. make no mistake - mourinho is a tactical genius but the money has so helped him a great deal.

You mean a relatively unknown Mourinho outwitted a seasoned veteran in SAF through gamesmanship and intimidation in 2004?

Chelsea with their wealth of experience coached by Ancelloti, a European success story; Barcelona, the toast of many on the continent, fancied by billions around the globe, being fellated by majority of the football world and at the peak of their powers; Bayern the ultimate scalp in 2010 - All these clubs were undone because they were intimidated by Mourinho?

Even Lo Monaco gave Mourinho a run for his money.


Money is important in the game, but it is also worth noting that the greater of his successes have been achieved with clubs who have relatively lesser to spend.

[size=18pt]Deco: Former Chelsea star fails drugs test in Brazil.
Former Chelsea and Portugal midfielder Deco has tested positive for the banned diuretic furosemide in Brazil.[/size]

https://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/67343000/jpg/_67343918_deco-getty.jpg

The 35-year-old failed the test, following Fluminense's win over Boavista on 30 March, for the drug, which can help hide performance-enhancing substances.

His lawyers said the positive result was due to contaminated vitamins.

Fluminense will not comment until the results of the 'B' sample are released on Friday.

The Brazil-born Portuguese playmaker spent two years at Stamford Bridge from 2008 to 2010, making more than 50 appearances.

He won the Premier League title in his second season, as well as two FA Cups in 2009 and 2010.

He is also one of only a handful of players to win the Uefa Champions League with two different clubs, Porto in 2004 and Barcelona in 2006.

SailorXY: Mourinho will fail woefully if he returns to Chelsea, the dude need extravagant luxuries to achieve anything. For Chelsea fans thinking a Messiah is coming **i can't wait to tumble while laffing** you will be disheartened. Man City & PSG are more realistic options by the way. As for Falcao, I think lessons should be in black & white for him already. Any eventual arrivals at Chelsea will largely be dependent on where they finish this season #goodluck against United & Bale

How many of these 'extravagant luxuries' was he afforded at Porto and Inter where he succeeded exceedingly?

dayokanu: The same Mourinho that has been knocked out by Bayern and Dortmund 2 years in a row with squads wayy cheaper than his

The whole Dortmund team that eliminated him last night cost less than Kaka alone

He has been thought football lessons by Jurgen Klopp and Heyckenes 2 years in a row

Has he not been successful in the same competition with squads way cheaper than some of those whose scalps he claimed?

Has this same Dortmund not been usurping Bayern in Germany for two years in a row? Throw in a cup final drubbing.

Mourinho is a welcome addition to the EPL, wherever he may end up. As for Ronaldo, if ever he returns to the EPL then there can only be one CLUB

Shey you dey fear ni? sheybi una don win League
Make you neva win League self, you got nothing on this Chelsea team!







If anyone hasn't noticed the Mourinho managerial trend/pattern, I have

Porto - He won the Champs League with an unfancied team.

Chelsea - As agonisingly close as we were then, we didn't win it.

Inter - Won it with another relatively unfancied team.

Madrid - Always came unstuck in the Semis, didn't win it.

Chelsea (2nd Coming) - I'm ready to bet my life on him capturing the trophy for/with Chelsea this time around.


SailorXY, how is that for living in the future?
