james_ram Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 It's been said, but he does seem a bit like the new Mourinho. In what way though? Just because he's won at Porto?:cautious: Put it this way, I'd be disappointed if I was a Chelski fan, they could of done much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Impressive results so far. But one question. Ahem WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorksopRam Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Both little or no playing experience, young to start managing, success at Porto, great home records, similar style of play, moves to Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambitious Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I think he has the potential to be the best manager in the world, his record speaks for itself.. he wasn't a professional footballer just worked himself upto the top, his record is brilliant. He would of been exactly my choice if I was Chelsea boss, In both his jobs he hasn't signed big names just got the very best out of the players already there, one was destined for relegation and he put them 11th got the job at Porto and in his very first year broke several records. He is certainly a bloke worth taking the chance on, I genuinely think going by his record given the time, he'll be the next era of great managers in this country.

Bris Vegas Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 He'll be sacked in a year.. When they finish outside the top 4.. His style is nothing like Mourinhos, he favours attacking football.. Chelsea don't have the players for this, they're full of lump it type players or athletes.. He'll go exactly the same way as Luis Felipe Scolari.. He will however go off to someone else, be given good time, and win a shed load more.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cisse Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Chelsea can sack him even if he gets them a double. Chelsea has no five year plans. They have five weeks plans if even that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekkie_ram Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Seems like a lot of money, although you could (and probably should) argue that managers are worth more than players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekkie_ram Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 They're following our lead with a young largely inexperienced manager - we're showing the big clubs how to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 not sure how all these experts can comment on his style? have they seen him in real life? I've never heard of him, so canna comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uttoxram75 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 They're following our lead with a young largely inexperienced manager - we're showing the big clubs how to do it. Yes, can't help but notice that Holland, Spain and now Barcelona at club level, have adopted our preferred style of play as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeds Ram Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 this manager has potential to do very well at chelsea, his record is remarkable and given the right players he could win chelsea's first champions league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_ram Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 this manager has potential to do very well at chelsea, his record is remarkable and given the right players he could win chelsea's first champions league. A league title in Portugal, where they had the best team by far, and an Europa League. Is this really good enough for Chelsea? Or what Chelsea aspire to be? Remember Mourinho had won a Champions League with Porto, much harder. He's 33 as well, and with the ego's of some of the players at Chelsea - Drogba, Terry etc, I don't think they will look up to him and be motivated by him. I'll give it till Christmas when they're languishing in 6th place, and he will be out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeds Ram Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 his record is outstanding, yes it is a poor league but he is exceptional, romped villareal at home 5-1 which is no easy thing especially being 1-0 down at half time and playing poor. He could fall flat on his arse but i think they will be there or there abouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
