yeah, going to RM is like trading gold for shit...
Real Madrid doesnt have commitment whatsoever... Barca is a much better option.
At Inter, everyone seems against him.. probably because media is owned by Berlucsoni.
Inter is probably the most loved team in Italy.. but Berlusconi wants to change that .. :lol:

If we play well in the CL, he will leave, he will say his job was to make Inter play well in Europe. It will be difficult to reject Real Madrid....

He isnt a quitter as you call him, but then again there is a lot left to happen till the end of the season... I'm still saying 50-50.
Real Madrid is very tempting offer, you're correct, and seeing as Jose said many times he would like to win in all 3 best european leagues, and while he definetly won't be taken by Barcelona who wants to play a certain style of football, Real is probably the only possible destination for him. Valencia can't afford him, and they are in big financial problems anyway. He will win in Spain only in Real or Barcelona, or in other club who won't be letting their stars leave (maybe Atletico Madrid), but from all Real is the most probable.

However I agree with everything BigBoss said. Going to Real Madrid would be a very danegrous move. Say he is fired next year, then what? He won't go back to Inter (since it would be him terminating the contract), he won't got to Barcelona, Fergusson will still be probably at Man Utd, he won't go to Chelsea (Ancelotti will not be fired so soon), and what's left ?

The point is Real Madrid is very unstable job to have, while here at Inter is definetly more secure (although that's ironic since Inter is still a club with a big pressure and expectations, but it's worse at Real).

mourinho wouldn't want real madrid, he is a smart man and he knows what kind of club real madrid is, capello won la liga with them but he was fired because he doesn't play pretty, and there is no coach in the world right now that takes less risks and prefers substance over style more than mourinho

i think that it's possible that mourinho will extend his contract with us, but i don't think that he will leave before his current contract is finished

i agree. he will certainly finish out his contract unless he's fired. moratti has alot of respect for mou so i really can't see that happening.

advisor

It may be not the right place to talk about the advisor. I mean Barcelona hiring Cruyiff as advisor. He is supposed to be the creator of the football style Barcelona is playing nowadays: possesion football with pressing to gain the ball back when they lose the ball.

Does Inter has someone in this role? To determine the long-term strategy in shoping players, in youth academy and in sharping the style we want to play?
Maybe we should hire Klinsman in this role. I was impressed by the German NT playing in the 90s when they beat Argentina in the WC final.

Coaches usually remain with a team for a couple of years. Exception is Sir Alex Ferguson who carries the job of advisor and coach at the same time.

Just a crazy thought, but thinking in long-term is not bad.

Barca is a much better option.

Mou's defensive style of play won't be tolerated at Barca. 2008 he could land there and came here, when everything was better there. they never will hire Mourinho, i think.

RealMadrid is a stupid club, this year they almost reach record points and they want to rid out the coach.

I was winding up a mate of mine (he's a Palermo fan, bit of a serie a expert) telling him how great I thought Mourinho was, and we did a little back forth, eventually discussing Mou's treatment of Balotelli and Santon since he's arrival, and his general behavior as a serie a manager. During the discussion, I asked... "Let me get this straight, you're blaming Balotelli's behavior all on Mou?" And he replied:

no mate... i blame mou for his own mistakes... and that's already lots of material to blame him for... as for the balotelli situation, i just wonder why all this hatred against him... and don't tell that's because he doesn't back track, as that's not the case (as a side note, let me just say that if mou lines up in the same formation motta, cambiasso and zanetti.... and he also wants balotelli to back track to cover for maicon' s runs, then he's an idiot, but that's not the point)... he seems to refer (although, as i said, he was never really clear on the point) to his attitude during the training session..... maybe he's lazy, i don't know.... but anyhow, just because of this u have a go at mario every time someone asks u about him? com on adriano, cassano, ronaldinho, none of em got as much stick from their coaches (and adriano was even coached by mou himself)... jeez not even barton got so much abuse from his coaches...

besides even if u (this "u" is referred to mourinho, not to u, pal ) are so stupid not to realise how counterproductive it is to blame a youngster in public, after doing this for 2 years (with very bad results it seems, as he keeps complaining about him) don't u think it's about time u change strategy? how about blaming him in private! force him to some extra training sessions early in the morning, rebuke him in the dressing room, in front of his teammates, but jeez not in front of the whole nation, u idiot!... this is not working, it's destroying their relationship (it's pretty obvious at this point mario can't stand him and can't wait to leave inter... and will probably do it sooner or later) and it's also making u look like an idiot as u were the one who said it's wrong to blame your players in public.....
not to mention the ridiculous contradiction with him saying that he acts like a diva just to protect his players from the heat (coz, given his attitude towards the likes of maxwell, balotelli, santon, that's clearely not his concern)...

besides my real point is not to prove balotelli is a nice guy. actually i think hot-headed and impulsive too. my point is that his coach (who, unlike mario, is not a teenager) is as hot-headed and as stupid as mario and isn't handling this situation properly... every time he attacks him in front of a tv camera, he's putting himself on the very same childish level of balotelli.... he's clearely not helping him to become more professional and, by denying what appeared to be his own mantra (never blaming players in public), he's also making a fool of himself.
and that's pretty much undeniable.

And about the Santon-Maldini comparisons (which according to my mate, started with Mou):

no, mate. the media had nothing to do with the santon hype... it all started and ended with mourinho.... actually some journalists made fun of mourinho for (once again) denying his own "beliefs" and putting so much heat on a teenager.
and when he had his bad period he didn't just tell him to focus on football.... that would have been reasonable and fair... he said his performances were not acceptable.... and that's just stupid.

That bad period he's referring to the Palermo-Inter, 5-3 game. It's quite funny, this guy is calm and friendly. Clearly I got to him and he exploded on me :lol: Just wanted to get an opinion from you guys who are maybe more informed than I am.

The guy is clearly anti-Mou no matter what he would do.

Jose has big part in the fact Santon bounced back. He handled the situation very well, Davide understood his mistake(s) and now we see fruits of it (he is playing very good again, and is deffensively flawless).

Tell your "friend" that Jose protects his players from MEDIA, that doesn't mean he can't criticise them in public.

Also, ask your "friend" if he noticed that Balotelli is not a typical 18 year old kid. Maybe he didn't notice.

Balotelli is overconfident (thinks he is as big star as Ronaldo, or can become bigger star than Ronaldo) which is very rare at youngsters like that. If he thinks Jose don't/didn't tell Mario in privet all those things, then he is very naive.

Mou already knew in 2006 that there will be an Inter-Chelsea in 2010 with Cech injury, that's why he brought Hilario to Chelsea :)

Ahh, to have the security of being a manager at RM :p...This has been speculated on before, wrt Mo to RM, but I always considered it a far fetched possibility due to the inability of a club like RM to cede that much control to any manager...Just not in their nature to leave sporting decisions to a manager

And few managers require more control than Jose, IMHO.

What are Inter fans' take on these rumours?...As an outsider I continue, though, to get the impression he has one foot out the door in Italy coupled with a lot of press & personal banter directed against the manager...What's the Inter speculation on this?
