What next for José?
Whilst the papers pick over the reasons for Mourinho’s departure from Chelsea it’s probably more interesting to speculate where he’ll turn up next. And I have a theory of my own! But before I do the problem that the board at Chelsea forgot, as one sports writer comments, is that the most important person at a football club is the Manager, not the over paid star players or the questionable foreign investors. And Mourinho, whether you’re a Chelsea fan or not, has a track record few can match so Chelsea pushing him out is I predict a mistake they’ll soon learn to regret.
So where will he turn up next? Well undoubtedly his Samsung mobile phone hasn’t stopped ringing with offers but I reckon he’ll take a hiatus until next season, then when Wenger moves from Arsenal which has been on the cards for a while Mourinho only have a slightly longer commute to the Emirates Stadium.
Or maybe someone should have a phone vote.

“Mourinho … has a track record few can match”. Hmmm… okay, he did well with Porto, a team that he really turned around. However, next stop Chelsea. With the amount of money spent on cherry-picking the best talent from Europe and Africa it would have been quite a feat to not pick up a trophy or two.
To be really tested as a manager he could be put in charge of Derby or Spurs. If he could keep Derby up, or get the Spuds into the top four, when I’d concede that he’s a great manager.
That said, he’s completely barmy, suave, interesting, and unpredictable. So the Premiership is certainly a poorer place without him.
By the way, Wenger just signed a new contact and Le Gooners are top of the pile with an exciting young squad. Can’t see him being in a big hurry to leave.
“Can’t see him being in a big hurry to leave” – I hope I don’t eat those words after the Ruskis roll into town.
