Reply to: And he's . . . .

There's a chap at Man City who seems to be doing ok with limited talent.

How many English players did he buy this year?

No-one in their right mind would take it, unless it's for the money. It is an impossible job.

Mourinho? He doesn't need the money, and not having the squad under his control for 10 months of the year goes against his modus operandi. His reputation cannot be enhanced by it. I can't see why he would even consider it.

i'll do it my team are top of the league in Footy Manager and i would only charge 2million (i'm not greedy) If i'm no good they can always sack me and give me a pay off.

Mad as a box of frogs, and right occasionally but only on the basis of probability.

I agree, he knows how to fashion a team from unpromising material.
But he's treated like a God in Greece and who would swap that for the English media?

I've got a mate who calculates risk for living, we all laughed when his spread of bets included £20 on Greece at 150/1 for Euro 2004 just because they had a German manager.

He bought the drinks that night.

McClaren's assistant Terry Venables has also had his contract terminated.

You're a little simple-minded aren't you?

Big Phil didn't want to commit to England just before the start of a world cup when he was in charge of Portugal, things are different now and he would be my first choice.

It’s a shame the FA or the fans would never accept a German manager, Otto Rehhagel has the right credentials.

Big Phil also didn't want the press hounding him as soon as things go wrong.

We need a manager than can handle to press as well as the players and Jose seems to be able to do that quite well

When will you understand, saddo, that it is impossible to buy long term success? You have to actually earn it. Do you have this word (earnings) in city chaps vocabulary at all? I doubt it.

Another classic atw leap of logic there. You're a little simple-minded aren't you?
But of course you don't have the perspective to see that.

[gingerjedi]

He's said he doesn't want it. And Mourinho. But I reckon if the price is right ...
