Kid Icarus Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Surely no chance he goes there, mainly because he's not at that level anymore, but also because of what he said about Vini Jr, he apparently burned a lot of bridges at Real Madrid after that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeddySAFC Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 On 17/04/2026 at 07:44, Kaizero said: If, and only if, Howe's sacked/resigns at the end of the season; I'd very much welcome Mourinho if he were to be his replacement. Would I be welcoming him solely because of, and based on, his SBR connection? Yes, yes I would I just feel like if something feels like the universe is setting up the story beats for a "Hollywood Ending", who are we to tell the universe to fuck off? Mourinho managing us as his most likely, in that scenario, last gig in club management before either retiring or taking over Portugal... leading the hometown club of personal hero and mentor into the golden era filled to the brim with success and trophies his mentor never achieved in his lifetime. The obvious close connection Mourinho has had to SBR since he was given his first footballing gig as SBR's translator at Sporting a whopping 34 years ago this year would automatically warm most of the fanbase up to him, if not immediately, then at the very least much sooner than any other alternative. That connection would in turn likely also make it easier for him to motivate his players, as he'd genuinely want to do well to honor Sir Bobby's memory. He'd (I strongly believe) finally regain a semblance of motivation to do well as a club's manager again, which it has not looked like he's had ever since his 2nd stint at Stamford Bridge came to a close in December 2015. He's just looked more and more unmotivated for each club he's taken charge of in the 11 years that's followed. I genuinely do not believe he'd rock up at St. James' without a fire in his belly, fully motivated to honor Sir Bobby's memory by reminding the world why he once called himself "The Special One" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafalove Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Mourinho would be a bad appointment, imo. We’re a club that needs to develop players especially with what we’re seeing starting to come through the academy, Mourinho would be good for that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Carlo isn't going back to club management imo. People were surprised he took Brazil. He is very happy living with his wife in Vancouver and was ready for retirement with Real. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitley mag Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 You can’t knock the job Iraola has done at Bournemouth and he’s out of contract which would be appealing financially. They were very street wise with their time wasting yesterday and I haven’t seen enough of them in home games, but not sure I could watch that every week. I’ve got some reservations as whether he’d be the right fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallumG6 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 If PIF do opt to move on from Howe, who they bring in will absolutely tell us their ambitions for the club. Big name like Inzaghi, Xabi Alonso or someone of that ilk, then it’s some ambition shown on their part. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If challenging for everything by 2030 is the aim then you’re spot on, it should be an ambitious appointment that signals the next stage of project.
