Mourinho WILL Return to Chelsea

Nothing is for certain in this world except death and taxes :) !!!

Rudd is speculating here. I doubt he has any insider info on this but as a former manager of our club his speculations certainly carry some weight. In the final analysis there are very few people who are in Roman's close circle of friends who know what is going on now regarding our search for a new manager and as the Pep experience should have taught everyone, Roman offering the job is one thing...the person he is offering it to accepting is another thing altogether. I will just wait and see what transpires in the summer but i will say if Jose returns i for one will be thoroughly elated not only because of the stature of the man but because his returning will mean Roman will have learnt some hard lessons Only a change in the way Roman does things will ever see Jose return to chelsea..he wont come back to be made a fool of a second time.

JM coming back is still a long shot imo. However, if he does in fact part ways with Real Madrid that would mean that he was never at a club for more then 3 yrs! His 3rd usually is when trouble starts... Thats happend at CFC and same case at Madrid. If and its still a big IF he does come back, how long can he last???? 3 yrs again??? and then we're back to square one!

Mourinho needs no introduction, most people that are saying they don't want him here would be the first to quake like cowards if he gets city's job, with mou and fergie as contenders, we know that to win the EPL would be harder than climbing the himalayan mountains, but mou brings the excitement of trophies and bragging rights over rival fans and he is the manager to make us be in the bayern,barca,juve,AC and man utd league managerial wise, I won't say I am oblivious to his antics, but I believe that if the club wants to move forward they need to sit mou down in a round table and discuss their priorities before the contract papers are drawn, it is noted that roman is building a chelsea project which involves having talented youngsters that can dominate the world of football, all they need is that coach with a winning mentality, not a wimp, I for one would be happy if roman and the board ask mou to make do with the squad we have now including the loanees, and perhaps give him 25m to sign one more needed player. The brand of football mou is playing with real is okay for a club like ours as it is attacking football and can be perfected with the embarassment of stars that we have in our squad, we can leave the duty of youth development to the duo of adi viveash and dermut drummy. In 3 years his contract might be reviewed and perhaps a manager in the mould of klopp, laudrup, conte,clarke or simeone would be available by then if we need to change. But like ballotelli settling in meekly in milan, mou can settle in just fine with us without any hitch, the only coach that we can get if we don't want mou should be a coach that is tactically better than him :-)

@layorh, I said so bcos I want mou to prove the nay sayers wrong about him being a spendrift, if we have him as our coach and aske him not to sign anay player and make do with the squad we have now and our loanees, do u think it would be too much for mou to handle?

If we have him as our coach and ask him not to sign any player* but should make do with cech,courtois,blackman,cole,betrand,PVA,cuevas, terry,kalas,cahill,omeruo,luiz,iva,wallace,todd kane,cesar,mikel,romeu,rammy,Ake,oscar,mata,hazard,marin,KDB,moses,ronan*,BA,Lukaku,(son or gomez for the 25m) my friend, can mou carve out a winning team out of this elites?

@desmond, remember you are talking about JOSE MOURINHO. He will never sign any contract that specify he won't be allowed to add to the squad and this isn't applicable to Mourinho alone but all club coaches in the world except Wenger. I totally disagree with you on this because it won't happen.

i would take Jose Mourinho back in a heart beat. For those who ar saying they don't want him back who do they want? Pellegrini? whats he won,what does he bring? Conti? done good at Juve but just look at AVB regarding that,Conte,Simeone and Laudrup would be in my opinion big gambles that could work but knowing roman and the club would fail spectacularly. Jurgen Klopp? first he doesn't want to come to an unstable club,two he has assembled a top little team in Germany who could now lift the champions league,and 3 next season he has to pit his wits against pep guardiola! motes? well i don't think many fancy him anyway but people will just point to him not winning nothing at Everton and has been in a few relegation battles with them in his time also! That leads us to Jose Mourinho! yes he brings with him some serious baggage,but the one thing he also brings with him is a guarantee of trophies and with that he will normally always win the league he is in or will definitely qualify for the champions league! at the moment there is a huge possibility that we wont make the top 4 if we lose today against man city. If there was a poll right now i would take mourinho ahead of anyone else. People talking about building a team full of dressing room warlords,so these people hate lamps,terry,drogba,essien,cole,cech,makalelele,carvalho,robben and duff? these were the players jose got playing awesome powerful football that got every team in Europe being scared of rocking up to stamford bridge! don't these people want to see a new team of "warlords" taking over european football again? and having the fortress of stamford back! i bloody would! CFC is Mourinho and Mourinho is CFFC. it is like it is his natural home in football. its the place i link most to the character of jose mourinho i dont think of him as a inter man or real madrid man. i think of him as a chelsea man. all i remember mostly is his first interview when he was put in charge. "i don't think i am one from the bottle,i think i am a special one" BANG i loved him from that moment on,and always will.

Plus Carlo and Jose could be swapping jobs anyway.

No one can deny Mourinho's ability and status as a top manager but having him return here depends on what we want and intend to achieve... For me, if what we aspire for is 3 or 4 more quick trophies in the next 2 to 3 years then YES, Mourinho is the right man.. What will follow those 2 to 3 years is what we should worry about as I am 90% certain Mourinho won't spend more than 3 years here if he ever returns. Mourinho will be hereonly to make a statement, win trophies and leave and exercise is ego, not build for the future or a sustainable system for continued success which I believe is what a lot of fans see as priority for this Club at the moment. Now, let me also say there is a difference between wish and reality, want and need, a difference between ideal world and real world.... Expecting or wanting Mou to come here to request for not more than 25M and to maximize the full potentials and strength of our youth team into winning trophies in 2 to 3 years is nothing but just mere "want", "wish", "fantasy".... and let me remind you that the EPL Mourinho left in 2007 as since evolved and is much more tougher today... Mourinho spent hundreds of dollars to achieve what he did with us so how we expect him to come today and succeed with a meager budget is what I don't understand.. Wishing for Mourinho in imaginary and unrealistic conditions or circumstances that we know will never happen is just another recipe for disaster.....
