The Press on Jose Mourinho

[Lowecifer]

I thought I would start a thread to provide a clearinghouse on articles about our new manager.

Here's one from Henry Winter:

Mourinho's Challenge to Chelsea (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/main.jhtml;sessionid=KM53TLQL4AJ4VQFIQMGSM54AVCBQWJVC?xml=/sport/2004/06/03/sfnche03.xml&sSheet=/sport/2004/06/03/ixfooty.html&secureRefresh=true&_requestid=128690)

Anyone read these? I thought there was some interesting and encouraging stuff in there.

I read them...fun stuff.

It would be killer for Chelsea to pick-up Deco and/or Ferriera.

I've always said though, that Chelsea's week spot was their strikers and I think they need an upgrade.

I love watching Moro play because he is very creative but I'm unsure if he's the best guy to pick-up...but I don't know. :confused:

Thanks for the links Lowe. There is certainly a lot of interesting stuff in there. I have to say I'm encouraged if Mourinho goes with an English core. This hopefully means Beckham is our first choice RM, since he seems to be the sort of hard working player Mourinho likes.
Also, Jose being a "big name", he may be more likely to lure the bigger players to Chelsea. Sort of the "come play for me, you KNOW I can win the Champions League."
I think this coming year will really be the first of the real Roman revolution, now that he has all of his toys in place. Ought to be a fun ride.

Here's another one with great things to say about the new philosophy from Soccernet.com :: Mourinho looking for English heart (http://soccernet.espn.go.com/headlinenews?id=302331&cc=5901)
