It is unlikely Pochettino would leave Spurs this summer, but next summer the situation may be different. Would you rather have mourinho now or have Lvg stay on another and get Pochettino next summer?

Jose all day long. Born winner stepping back to Moyes if we entertain Pochetino 😆😆.

If waiting until next summer meant sticking with LVG for another year I'd take JM in an instant. Even then I'm not sure I'd want MP over JM anyway.

I think it's at a point now where we can't afford to wait if we fall any further behind then it could be years before we can make it back to the top.

I can't believe that some are questioning mourinho's credentials. Fergie has never got the better of him. The guy has won trebles in two different countries. He took over Chelsea when they were utter crap and turned them into serial winners. He made Porto champions of Europe. He made inter Milan champions of Europe. He got the better of Pep at Real when Barcelona were the best team on the planet.
And yet, we have people on here seriously questioning whether he'll be a good fit at United. Do me a favour.
BTW, Chelsea at their best, won more points and scored more goals than any other team, so any argument he's defensive goes right out of the window.

Schmid, I respect your view that you want Mourinho, but you should respect my view that I don't. I don't doubt his track record but ha behaviour became more and more erratic. Explain Chelsea's start to the season to me. explain why he has to be so divisive and confrontational. Explain why De Bruyne was allowed to leave. Explain why Chelsea sacked him twice. Peoe don't question his credentials, they question his approach, personality, character, call it what you will.
If he comes I will support him, doesn't mean I have to like it.

AJH - De Bruyne left because at the time he wasn't good enough to be in the starting 11 and decided that rather than stay and fight for a place he would rather go elsewhere and play regularly.
Should the manager have weakened his team in order to placate a single player who didn't have the mental strength to fight for his place or was he right to instead put out a side capable of winning games? The same goes for Lukaku.
Chelsea have had 11 different manager changes in the past 12 years under Abromovich and so I don't think you can read too much into that. If anything I find it interesting that they had him back a second time.
I can certainly see why people do not want Jose but can't for the life of me see why they would prefer LVG or Giggs in his place. In Jose we'd be getting a winner - which is more than I can say for the other two.

It's a Marmite situation. Love him or hate him he would do better than the last two clowns . Everywhere he has been the fans adore him (not too sure about Madrid ) . We all have to agree that when a top coach becomes available then our top club must look to appoint. Mourinho is that coach 😆😆.

I doubt all that you doubt him AJH but I think he is exactly what we need at the moment. If we get top 4 and win the FA cup, he will be coming into a great situation.
I think to jump from 4th / 5th to first will be a huge ask and task, because Chelsea and pool will also becoming hard not to mention the 3 above us next season. We can't afford baby steps I think Jose has proven he can take giant leaps. There are areas he can improve but I'm willing to give him the chance to improve those areas and hope he has learnt from some of his previous mistakes.
I think he wants to change whether he can or not is still to be seen. Only time will tell. We need a winner, fergie was a winner when he came. conte is a winner, so is pep, so is klopp. we need to fight fire with fire and i think many of joses press battles will look better through red glasses when he is on our side. No more than fergies did and he was just as hateful to all other supporters as Jose was to us when wearing Chelsea blue.

Ajh. I fully respect everyone's views. But like it or not, mourinho is a winner. Him and Pep are the best two managers out there. Simple as that.
Fabregas said recently that mourinho gave the Chelsea players too much respect and allowed them too much slack. And some were unprofessional and reacted the wrong way. That's his mistake and I'm sure he would have learned from it.
Re de bruyne, he was going nowhere at Chelsea but went to Germany and his career took off. Similar to chicarito. Fergie let pogba go. So all the top managers make mistakes.
The fact is that Mourinho will bring success and that's what this club craves.
