Mourinho Madrid Madness

cremeegg

So folks with mourinho going to madrid the worst kept secret in football... there will be some carnage in spanish football next year.... Mourinho is unlikely to listen to the madrid hierarchy and he is defiantely his own man... also with barca spending big money this summer... Villa and fabergas... Madrid will have to produce the chequebook again.... My money is on him recruiting some of his old chelsea buddies...drogba lampard.. etc..

its going to be a merry go round summer....!!:D

Jose will have them rattled at camp nou...

Is there confirmation he has signed?

Hes pretty much blowing smoke to anyone who will listen and offer him an enticing job.

Real madrid dont deserve high profile managers. Although its obvious that he sees tackling the off pitch ranks as much of an enticement as leading them to victory on the pitch, I just think its one of those jobs that will make you a legend or put your career down the drain.

I'd classify the Real madrid job in the same category as liverpool and newcastle.

Huge expectations, never to be reached by the simple off field problems.

Classico should be fun. Shame for Pellegrini though, fantastic coach.

One of the guys on Football Weekly said it'll cost Real around €50million to sack Pellegrini, compensate Inter and bring in Mourinho&staff, and thats just at the salary Inter are currently paying him.

He'd be mad to go to Real unless he has cast iron guarantees of no interference from the Board in team management and buying players.

Ashley Cole is practically guaranteed to be moving to Real in the summer.

Has this been confirmed? Does anyone have a link?

Madness getting rid of Pelligrini if true but hardly surprising given their form

I said a few months back that he will probably move to Spain, however thats when I was confident united would take the title.

He may be inclined to stay now with the league title under his belt, but I still think the lad needs a fresh start and some new surroundings.

Can't see it working out well. Mourinho and the Real Madrid Board simply can not get along.

Essien

Is it just me or is there a sh!tload of hearsay in this thread being stated as fact?

If Mourinho does go to Real ,the white hankies will be out before the season is over.
He is primarily a defensive coach similar to Capello and that type of football didnt go down well there.
Capello got the sack despite winning the league as the style of football he played wasnt deemed attractive enough.
Its an almost impossible task to coach Real Madrid.
You must win trophies but you must also play with style and also finish ahead of the best team in the world.
Perhaps Real are so desperate to win a trophy that any type of winning football will do them and they know that Mourinho will probably deliver plus he is also Barcas bogeyman.
Will be a fascinating league if he does go to Real.

I'd expect if Madrid does get Mourinho as coach he'll look to bring in the likes of Gerrard & Mascherano from Liverpool as the likes of Lampard would be too expensive given Chelsea's financial muscle.

Players like Vidic/Agger/Ashley Cole could also be heading to the Bernabeau.

You may even see a mega money bid for Torres espeecially given Barca's latest recruitment and Madrid's hunger for one upmanship

Any kind of confirmation on this? Or the Fabregas story?

Mourinho may be his own man but, remember, Abramovich still signed Sheva behind his back and he didn't resign straight away (it was another 16 months or so before he left). There's also doubts over how much Mourinho had to do with the signing of Jiri Jarosik in 2005 (two and a half years before he walked). Obviously, his squad can be interfered with.

Real could easily do it to him again and I doubt he'd walk.

I sincerely doubt Real would let him sign Lampard or Drogba. Imo, it'd be a mistake to. Both are 32 and are at their peaks but they're not long-term investments.

It's a shame for Pellegrini. 96 points would have won most European leagues this year. I think he got more points then Barca did last season and he certainly instilled a lot more consistency and a better team spirit in the side but still his job is under threat.

It's madness. Real are just like Chelsea, neither can settle for long-term stability, they must have instant success. Look at Arsenal, or even Liverpool. Both managers have been given time to rebuild their squads.

Not sure if Real would move for Torres since he played for Atletico. I know that they wouldn't sign him before he went to Liverpool because they didn't want to give Atletico money but things may have changed now.

They bought Hugo Sanchez from Atleti in the 80's and also signed Luis Figo from Barca in the 90's. Where he's played wouldn't be a problem for them.

Hopefully, Torres wouldn't sign for them.

PHB

It'd be a perfect move for him. He wouldn't last more than 3 seasons, no manager does. And then he moves on to take over from Fergie

Yeah, but that's the reason why they never moved for Torres while at Atletico apparently. Also have to wonder would the Real fans accept him?

have to agree with bastardprince.... hes just ticking boxes before he lands back in england

Warper

As someone stated earlier Mourinho would be pushed out after his first season due to his ultra-defensive style of football he loves. He could win everything and still everyone at Madrid, including the fans would want him out and rightly so.

Mourinho is great entertainment but God his teams play boring football.

Do not understand why everyone is giving Real such a hard time. They finished just 3 points behind Barcelona( best club team in the world imo) in the league, granted they flopped in the CL but is basically a whole team at real. You have to give them more than 1 season to prove their worth, giving the team time to gel etc..
Barca has had a solid core of quality players for the last few seasons with xavi, iniesta, messi, puyol etc resultung in sucess, give the madrid team time and I believe they produce the silverware expected of them. There was 2 seasons where real beat barca to the league whilst barca had xavi, iniesta, messi and puyol.
Honestly i think they should give Pellegrini another season, but also think Mourinho has the ability the make them the best in europe.
