Mick Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 honestly don't remember that. the only stuff i remember bout him and liverpool was when he was in milan. however do you think he'd have turned down cjelsea in favour of liverpool given the squillions he was given to spend there ? All of the headlines about him at the time were that he'd been offered Chelsea but wanted Liverpool, it's too late at night for me to go looking for quotes so don't ask.

Mick Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 But Wigan are a no mark club which is sort of the point. Fair enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Chelsea were already a Champions League club under Ranieri man. They were hardly some no mark club with money to spend. Nobody has said they were a no mark club, they had just finished 4 places higher up the league than we currently are. But Wigan are a no mark club which is sort of the point.

Wullie Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Wigan wouldn't be a no-mark club if they had the money though. City were a total nothing five years ago, madras is right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Even City had to settle for Mark Hughes before they got Mancini. Wigan would have to build a decent set-up there before someone like Mourinho would go within a mile of the place, regardless of how much money they have.

Agree, plus Man City's history and standing is streets ahead of Wigan's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 You honestly think Mourinho would ever go to Wigan? yes if abramovic at that time had took them over. ie richest club in the world and want to prove it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I'm willing to concede that Mourinho would manage Wigan but not before they'd been built up to be a consistent top 6 club over a number of years. Which kind of makes my "Man City = fairly big club" argument a bit redundant, but not really as they'd have a huge head start over Wigan in attracting that kind of manager.

I don't think he'd go anywhere near it. You're over-simplifying it. Money's been one of the factors with the jobs he's taken, not the sole factor.

I don't think any players and managers do though really, not many anyway. They're just interested in how they're doing in the present, and probably rightly so TBH.

Guest Dontooner Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Blackburn Vs Newcastle: Wow really playing some carpet footy with Pardew tactic's today, Dominating the game with plenty of defense spill-ting open chances create by his tactics and his team. The passing being crisp and its not the individual players that are winning us the game, the usual suspect Colo and krul are having a average game but the rest of the team are carrying them today like. Must be Pardew's tactics and seamless preparation of the game that is bringing out the best out of HBA , Jonas and the flair players.. Shola is having a cracking game here! Top 7 here we continue to come Under the Pardew's wagon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
