Mourinho the best in the world (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Please !!! The ONLY reason he won those EPLs is when Arsenal and United where facing difficulties in the league!!

Then considering United and Arsenal this season, Chelsea really didn't stand a chance ... He is a great manager IMO, but not the best in the world.

He won the CL because he faced Monaco in the final (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Had it been one of the usual suspects, he wouldn't even be considering the thought of being called the special one!



Still I do rate this coach! But his attitude is not something that AC Milan affiliates with. All our coachs are respectable coaches whom talk little and haul in the results ... Bringing a media circus to Milan is the last thing Berlusconi would consider, after all it is a prestigious club.

Who considers him the best in the world?! (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) CR7 "at his best" is one of the five best players in the world.


I think few would agree with you on that. Chelsea's success in 2004/05 and 2005/06 was quite deserving. just look over their records, they talk for themselves.

But that kind of success was temporal and would have come to an end with or without Mourinho. because Abramovich doesn't exactly know how to keep a club successful for a decade or more. in my opinion, Chelsea was England's best in that period but it's over now. two years from now, they will become the same team they've been for a century; only a "good" club like Roma in Italy or Atletico in Spain. I know they still have Roman's money, but money cannot always bring success, not in football.

I see Jose as the most important figure behind that success tbh.


Have you forgotten how his Porto eliminated Man U and Deportivo from the CL... (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

I am not telling anyone to agree with me, it is my opinion first and foremost. Chelsea's record of not losing a home game in 99 consecutive home games defines Mourinho's time in London. But that doesn't cancel out the fact that there was no competition in those seasons. I mean, kind of like inter last season, there was a gap between first place and second place.

Then about the CL .. Milan got knocked out with a 4-0 thrashing from Deportivo (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) What I was implying was had any of the "usual suspects" (Milan, Madrid, Liverpool, etc) made it to the final, Mourinho wouldn't be calling himself the special one. STILL !!! I do regard him as a great manager.

Well, Mourinho is still at the beginning of his coaching career and he's already won A LOT of prestigious titles (Champions League, FA Cup, EPL, UEFA and ...). at Milan, he can be anything he wants... even "the special one". he must change his attitude though. because this is no longer Chelsea or EPL. it's Milan... it's all about class!

But after all I know that he won't come. that's simple. we have to bear Carlo for at least two more seasons, maybe more.

That's not really fair. This is Ancelloti not Terim.

Sorry, maybe I should have said "I have to bear him"... (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I think his time is just over. his defensive style of football just makes me sick. his substitutions are just nerve-cracking. he's wasting Gourcuff's talent by sitting him on the bench in favor of players who don't even deserve to be in this team, like Brocchi. he's using Kaka where he can't give 100% to the team. he's in love with +30yo players, etc.

Isn't it just the right time for him to leave?! (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Mourinho......god no!

Ask that to Man United fans.

I think Mourinho IS the best coach in the World.

People can say what they want about him, fact is he won 6 trophies in 3 years in the EPL, very impressive (Never facing anyone outside the top 4 in a Cup Final, so they always had a difficult game).

As for Europe. He won the UEFA Cup, a year later, he was a European Champion. Who cares they only played Monaco in the Final? They knocked United out along the way.

I don't rate Carlo higher because he has had a great Milan team to work with, and like many of you say, coaches in Italy don't do as much as they do in the EPL. Jose wins trophies with HIS team. Carlo wins it with Silvios.

His record speaks for itself. 5 straight league titles, 2 straight European titles, the amazing league home unbeaten record. There simply is no other like Mourinho. Whichever team gets him is very, very lucky.

If we do get Mourinho... in that unlikely chance.. expect some changes. We might actually play with wingers (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I don't really rate Jose's use of wingers very highly. For that you'd have to look at Ramos or Ferguson. Jose is probably the best coach in pressure tactics.

As such his attack depends a lot on the quality of his attackers, and not so much their team creativity. But he builds a very strong defence.

Best Coach ?? (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

He's a showman , wants to get the attention , looooves to get attention and I dont want my beloved , our beloved Milan to be associated with a clown like him.

Forza Carlo !

And Mourinho didnt had a great chelsea to work with ?

When Carlo took over Milan was playing the Uefa cup . When Mourinho arrived at chelsea he got every player he wanted to.

So what??

Actually, that's more kudos to Carlo cause he's not playing with the players he picked himself!

Mourinho had not had a great team to work with (at Chelsea)?? Come on now... he spend 100X the money Milan did and every single season he was out before us, never reached the final and of course never won the CL! Even last season when we were playing with one XI he couldn't do better than us...

I'd like to see Carletto winning a CL with Porto. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Yes, because Porto as you know can buy every player they want. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
