QUOTE Mourinho: Forget England, I Want An Italian Club(IMG: http://www.mrcalcio.it/wp-content/uploads/mourinho.jpg) Jose Mourinho has ruled himself out of the runnings for the England national team job. Instead, he restated his desire to work for a club - particularly an Italian one... Former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho offered a 'thanks, but no thanks' to those England supporters who had tipped him for the Three Lions hotseat. Current boss Steve McClaren is under immense pressure in charge of the English national side, with Mourinho rumoured to be a potential replacement. The 'Special One' himself, however, has nipped such speculation in the bud, first explaining that there's only one international job that would interest him, and then restating his desire to manage a club. In an interview with English newspaper The News of the World, he said, "I think there are those who adore me in England. I adore English football. But I won't go back there for now. Nonetheless, the door isn't closed forever on a return to the Premiership. "I'd like to come back later," he added. Still, it was clear to see where his desires were focused. He stated, "I'd like to continue in club management, perhaps in Italy where I can test myself against their tacticians. The national team would be for later."The Portuguese national team is an ambition but not for the Jose Mourinho of today."Being the coach of a national team is not the same as being coach of a club. It's a job for someone who doesn't like working much."Adding to his forthright views on international management, the former Porto coach criticised the growing trend for appointing foreign managers as bosses of national sides. "I'm completely against having foreigners with national teams," he began. "Not because I doubt the professionalism with which they do it, but I think that a national team should bring together the best players and the best coach from each country. "The national team is an obsession for me but it will be at the end of my career. Let there be no doubt about that."Mourinho, 44, has been out of work since his acrimonious departure from Chelsea in mid-September. http://www.goal.com/en/articolo.aspx?contenutoid=453394

Mourinho is like the coaches equivalent of ronaldinho. Thinks he's bigger than the club. Never been the biggest fan since he moved to chelsea.
But in saying that, can't go any worse at the moment.

I have really mixed feelings about Mourinho. Is he a good coach? Yes, very. But his public persona (which may be wholly unlike his actual one-on-one personality) is just...icky and classless and not what I've come to expect of Milan's coaches. I worry that it'd be one constant fight between him and Berlusconi if he were to come to Milan. (Porty, did he have any issues with Porto's management when he was there?) He IS good at motivating his players though.

i think the fact that he doesn't seem "milan" is the very reason we need him. milan needs to be shaken from its core...this is the guy to do it
if he goes to inter...we are screwed

You know...Don Fabio isn't coaching at the moment. He's a former Milan player and he's a very good coach. If there absolutely has to be a change in coach (of which I'm not yet convinced), I think I'd probably pick him.
Mourinho is a very good coach but, as stated above, the public persona issue is a problem IMO, and indicates he may not be right for Milan.

QUOTE (I_Rossoneri @ Oct 21 2007, 10:29 PM) Why would he cause trouble? because he's not a yes man? Don Fabio wasn't a yes man and look what happened with him - Silvio almost begged him to stay (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Bottom line is that Jose is a winner, while carlo seems to be full of excuses and frankly I've had enough of excuses. Uhm , don Fabio returned in 1997–1998 with Milan and failed . Jose is not more of a winner then Carlo. He's more of a showman , that I give you. Acting like a b!tch when you lose and always blaiming everyone except himself for his loss. I dont think Milan need that. But since I'm 90% sure he won't come , im happy.

Carlo has won alot, but Jose has the UEFA Cup, Champions League, Premier League, Portugese League titles to show, and he's hardly an old man. (Remember he won the CL with Porto, not a top team like Milan - no disrespect intended to Porto). His home record is unebelievable. Carlo's home record.. Well, his current streak is 'Lost 1' compared to Jose's unbeaten in 90-odd games. Jose is a winner, he competes in everything, no trophy goes un-noticed. With Carlo, he plays backups in some Serie A games, he treats them like friendlies. If we don't win the CL - we'll win nothing (Of real importance.) I just don't rate Carlo, not anymore, he's clueless.

Carlo won enough with Milan to earn my respect. All I care about is that Milan doesnt end up like a circus. Dont get me wrong , Im not saying Carlo should stay forever , but compared to this Bozo , I prefer him.

But if you're into harsh, I could make equally scathing comments about Mourinho. I've tried to be diplomatic in this thread but to be honest, I find his persona offensive as h*ll and he's no small part of the reason why I despise Chelsea. Effective? Yes, at winning the English league (which I don't rate as highly as I rate the Italian league). I think his CL win with Porto is much more impressive. But that doesn't mean I'd want him coaching my team.

So what do you expect Carlo to say ? That his team sucks ? (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) No wonder why you like Jose.

That's how life is! If you don't tell a worker he's sh!t at his job, he's going to carry on being sh!t at his job. If you don't tell a kid of for doing wrong, he's going to continue to do wrong. Same with footballers, if they play like crap, and you say nothing, they'll continue to do it, why? because they can!

Funny, cause Mourinho never blamed his Chelsea players as underperforming. It was the ref's fault, the pitch's fault, everybody's fault but his and his players.

Wenger, SAF, Capello, Hiddnik, Lippi, Sacchi, Eriksson, and all the greats that I have yet hear them single out one of their players and complain publicly. Mourinho was the only one whom made all his thoughts clear publicly. All the greats deal with these kind of things personally. And don't turn their clubs into a 'circus'. He is just an arrogant prick who 'thinks' he is the best.

QUOTE (Nova @ Oct 21 2007, 10:20 PM) Carlo has won things with Milan , thats why I like him. Jose won with chelsea , blank cheque chelsea that is. Im not impressed at all. So now you're calling Milan a circus , just to defend that arrogant pr!ck?? great respect for our team . Because Rui Costa, Nesta, Shevchenko, Inzaghi, Gilardino and Rnaldo were all free, right? Why do people always go to Chelsea? Who gives a f*ck what he did at Chelsea. Surely winning the Champions League with Porto is much bigger of an acheivement than winning it with Milan? No? I'm calling Milan a circus because they're a laugh stock at the moment, I know tonnes of people that're making fun of them. Doing it to defend Jose? I believe he's a better manager than Carlo, simple as. Why is it that I'm not allowed to have my own opinion?

When they spoke up against him (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Actually he smacked Becks with a football boot .. U know why ?? Cuz SAF made Becks into the player he is today (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) But does SAF come out in public and say well we lost today because I don't have a center back ?! No he played Milan and got royally screwed, both him and his team ... And said 'That was a magnificent Milan' ... I wonder what Jose said the night before (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Yes, he was gracious in defeat against Milan, and what? Did you read Jose's post-match comments against Villa? What about Liverpool in January? He admitted his team were outplayed, and after the Liverpool game criticised his teams commintment, and their lack of heart. SAF does come out and blame it on people, he and Wenger are the two most notorious managers in EPL history to blame referee's, they're worse than me!

Okay, guys. BASTA.
We've all had our chance in today's rant-a-thon.
It's time to stop when we get around to namecalling.
Let's draw a line on this one and go out for a drink. Maybe dst will do a fan dance for us! (*duck*)

You know, I really don't care about people laugh at Milan. You're English, you should be the first to know about this things when it comes to your NT! I knew some people that laugh at Milan in 2002, 2005, 2006 and 2007. Does people will constantly laugh, till they die in their misery. Who gives a damn about them?? Life is full of those unrealized people... You know what..? I think Milan is superior to Mourinho. Milan is that what Jose needs, not the other way. Do you wanna know why? Cause we have tradition, we ahve history, and we have success. But not that Abramovich-money success, not even the small-town Porto success, no we have permanent success. And if he want's to prove himself once more, he has to make that step. But I don't wanna see him here. He is a egomaniac and a showman. Capello, Sacchi and all the others had some disagreements with certain players, but none of them said what Jose said to Carvalho or Gallas. And really, do you like Mourinho's playing style? Do you like his way? Oh no, no, no, no,... Milan and Silvio Berlusconi are to big for Mourinho. Jose would eventually break and the whole story would be a flop. If we want someone new, we need an inside man or someone at least near to us. Capello, Lippi,...there are a few options left.

QUOTE from 25 minutes ago I said that because you ignored the fact that he was succesful elsewhere. QUOTE (Rossoneri7 @ Oct 21 2007, 10:54 PM) U don't recall ?!

Villa played well, Chelsea played well in my opinion. “We made a mistake we shouldn’t make, because at defensive set-pieces we are usually so well organised. “We were solid in the first half but the match changed after a goal in the first minute of the second half. “Villa were well organised, they had spirit, they defended well to keep a clean sheet. “We had complete domination of the game but didn’t score a goal. A point each would have reflected what happened on the pitch but you pay for mistakes, we made our mistakes and I can’t say they didn’t deserve a win because they didn’t make a mistake.†All I see is him praising the opponents and blaming his own players for a mistake? Either than or I can't read.

QUOTE (Fillipo Simone @ Oct 21 2007, 11:05 PM) OOOOh gosh!!! You know, I really don't care about people laugh at Milan. You're English, you should be the first to know about this things when it comes to your NT! You know what..? I think Milan is superior to Mourinho. Milan is that what Jose needs, not the other way. Do you wanna know why? Cause we have tradition, we ahve history, and we have success. But not that Abramovich-money success, not even the small-town Porto success, no we have permanent success. And if he want's to prove himself once more, he has to make that step.I'm English? Thanks for pointing out the obvious. I love it when people from unsuccesful, un-historic nations run their mouth. (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) All I see is you slamming a managers success while bragging about Milans. You, my friend, are a glory hunter. Don't get personal next time. (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Er. Just a point of historical fact. Croatia were in the semis of the World Cup in 1998 (finishing third, I believe). Hardly unsuccessful.
Unless I'm sorely mistaken, that's a better record than England has had.

(IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) And please don't come up the whole bullsh!t. "That was ages ago, blah blah blah.." Honestly, what is the point of winning something if it's going to be looked down upon in the future?

I mean, why the hell should we bother about people having a laugh at us? Whole Europe laugh at England (NT) for quite some time..and honestly, do you care about it? When you watch a game on the Wembley, do you care about? Sorry if I insulted you anywy,... Why would I be a glory hunter? I'm not bragging, I just stated out some facts. Should I pretend Milan isn't the best team in Europe? Why? Cause of Mourinho,..? No way,...I'm not slamming his success, I just wanted to say: Jose is the one that would, at the end, benefit out of a marriage with us. And IMO he does not fit intoour system. We are elegant, he is not, at least not in that family-kind way...

I understand what' you're saying now, no hard feeling. I get defensive about England, as you can see. Sorry, pal.

I could type out a long response but really there's no point to it. We all have opinions and it doesn't look like anyone is going to change their mind.
Some people rate Mourinho, some don't. Some people want him in Milan, some people don't. Some people rate the English NT and some don't.
But we are all supposedly here because we support Milan. Let's try and hold onto THAT, shall we? And at least TRY to get along and respect the opinions of others.

I think it's clear we ALL have our own opinions, and won't change them, as Tennie says, we all need to learn a little respect for others. That fish-doll has Tennie owning everyone recently!

QUOTE (kurtsimonw @ Oct 22 2007, 01:19 AM) I'm insulted that you would care someone like Carlo to Jose. Carlo is better? Carlo has won alot, but Jose has the UEFA Cup, Champions League, Premier League, Portugese League titles to show, and he's hardly an old man. (Remember he won the CL with Porto, not a top team like Milan - no disrespect intended to Porto). His home record is unebelievable. Carlo's home record.. Well, his current streak is 'Lost 1' compared to Jose's unbeaten in 90-odd games. Jose is a winner, he competes in everything, no trophy goes un-noticed. With Carlo, he plays backups in some Serie A games, he treats them like friendlies. If we don't win the CL - we'll win nothing (Of real importance.)I just don't rate Carlo, not anymore, he's clueless. Couldn't agree with you more. If there was only one thing that I'm TOTALLY convinced about, it's that Carlo CANNOT lead Milan to league title anymore. maybe Europe but no Scudetto, not anymore. he's been here for SIX YEARS and he's won us the Scudetto just once. that's nothing more than an awful record in league games for a team like Milan, a team that used to win it just for fun some time ago!

Erm ... Calciopoli ring-a-bell ?? Before last yr .. Milanw as always in the running for 1st place. And would reach April and decide which trophy it wants. That is all Carlo's doing (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) And it is not Carlo who choses which trophy he is going for! It is Silvio who tells them, I want this competition and the team goes for it (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) The sooner u understand this .. The sooner u get that over Silvio Berlusconi's dead body is Mourinho gonna take over in Milan.
