Well what are the figures? How much did it take to "buy" the CL for mighty Porto? Anyone who pretends Mourinho is not a winner or tries to attribute his entire success to a chequebook is ignoring all the evidence. Look at how he pulled that Chelsea team together so they were all but unbeatable. A machine. You could see the Mourinho effect working on a weekly basis as a team who couldn't get anywhere near us caught and then overhauled us until we couldn't get anywhere near them. That wasn't just about the money. I pretty much agree with the conclusion he wouldn't come here though, which is a shame. Not just because he wouldn't have funds but because I doubt he'd want to work with the bunch of inept twats in our boardroom who are more in this for the money than the football, as they have proved time and again. That's why I'm thinking only the fans could make this happen by making it unbearable for the board and irresistible to Mourinho's vanity. Desperate times but do we want a fix or not?
