I think you just have to see the fact Mourinho is on a run of 130 home league matches unbeaten (38 with Porto, 60 with Chelsea and 32 with Inter) without defeat to see the true class of the man. This Premier League football blog thinks he will be back in England and i still remain convinced I would love that to be at Anfield. Watch him impress against Chelsea tonight and see his new side do over his old one.

Chelsea were pretty awful tonight it has to be said...AND they got an away goal...so it ain't over yet

This will be my last compliement for Inter tonight before some accuse me of jumping on the Mourinho bandwagon but I have to say he has them well drilled. I think they were unfortunate not to end the game in a more advantageous position. Etoo would bury that shot 9 times out of 10. It will be tough in the return leg but I think Inter could have the trump card what with Cech injury. What was it a cruciate lig? Ouch.

Looks like Lampard thinks he's quite special...

"I've got more respect for José Mourinho than for any other manager I've worked with because of what he did for me. I want to win the game, but it's not like I want to get one over on him. I just want to go through to the last eight. If you'd asked me at the start of the season who I'd want to win the European Cup if it wasn't going to be us, I'd have been happy to see José win it. He was great for me and I'm still close to him."

Mourinho was staggering for Chelsea. The Portuguese will be granted a tumultuous reception on Tuesday for what will be his second return to the ground where his name was once bellowed as he plundered two Premier League titles, two Carling Cups and an FA Cup in little more than three seasons. He will be welcomed as a returning hero with affection extended by those his team directly oppose. Chelsea have signed nine senior players since his departure in September 2007, of whom only Nicolas Anelka and Branislav Ivanovic are established first-team regulars. It may be awkward for the managers who have come and gone since to acknowledge, but the core of this squad remains Mourinho's.

One of its key performers is in his debt. The impact Mourinho had on Lampard is measured in more than mere winners' medals. It says everything that the 31-year-old, by his own admission, considered joining him in Milan at the beginning of last season before opting at the last to extend his contract at Stamford Bridge. "He gave me self-belief," the midfielder says. "He carried that aura around with him. It's very obvious that he believes in himself as a manager, and as a man, but he had this way of transmitting that confidence to his players. He just tried to make me believe in the player I could be, and helped me get to where I wanted to be. It was sad losing someone like that who you respect, but what he gave me stays with me. I'm a better player and a better person for having worked with him.

" The reason he's been a successful manager everywhere he's been is because of the atmosphere he creates in the dressing room by getting close to his players, working with them, respecting them. All of us who worked with him had that. He creates a real spirit, a family atmosphere, and he gets that extra 10% out of his teams by doing that. That's why you'll find the players who worked with him will talk about the times he was with us with such fondness.

Mourinho would also have worked like Paul Daniels with the illusion that the club was not in the worst decline in its history ,and his love for the media would have ensured the lack of funds from the owners would have been kept secret or only whispered about in clandestine meetings with close friend Frank and his amazing travelling lump Lampard ,and it is also true that Mourinho would have swelled the coffers at Anfield with unyielding success ,or maybe he just might have made the owners richer whilst keeping their contemptuous personalities hidden from the public by performing his well renowned performing seal act

C'mon Mick its more likely he would have suffocated being put under such stringent financial restraints and having once made the realization that our owners were committing such heinous crimes in the name of the club we love ,you know as well as I do he would as a man of principal

walked post haste

The club has no chance of Mourinho becoming manager fella ,its time to blow this pipe dream away mate

Presumably from what you say Rafa isn't a man of principle because he HASN'T WALKED?

Rafa welcomed the fans protests against the owners when his job was on the line..... once he had his shiny new contract the fans protest "became a distraction to the team".

The contract he signed meant he couldn't speak out and spelled out that he would have little in the way of new funds ....... HE STILL SIGNED IT.

Where's the evidence for this?

On Mourinho, his side are four points ahead of AC Milan having played one game more - Milan play Chievo at home on Sunday. Barely a month ago they were 8 points clear having played the same number of games. Worth keeping an eye on.

Fans asked why we hadn't proposed action for today's meeting, and Paul explained that we had discussed it but we wanted the proposals of the membership and for them to vote, on what can be an emotive issue. One fan asked if it was true that when we met the manager Rafael Benitez had asked us not to protest during the game; Paul confirmed Benitez had asked us to consider whether we should protest during the game as he felt it could affect the players. S.O.S

Which came before he signed his new contract?

by **account deleted by request** » Sat Mar 13, 2010 4:33 pm

But after he was first offered a new contract. So it makes it even worse that he would say something like that just to enhance his chances of getting just what he wanted. (imo)

No Saint that was sarcasm the walking bit ,as we all know Jose would have been off courting all the publicity he could muster with what would have been a very public fall out ,and how do you know Benitez's contract was shiny anyway
