It would certainly be good for the English league, I agree

Not sure his ego could cope with not being at a top brand club though

Chelsea could surely implode now. The players obviously revere Mourinho and there must be a real risk that his favourites - Carvalho, Terry, Drogba, Lampard - will all be gone soon, and that's a lot of talent to replace

        Kenyon has stated repeatedly that Chelsea need to be the world's number 1 football club (NCFC) - blindasabat, Sep 21, 14:42:00
        
        The few times i watched them i thought they played good football.. (NCFC) - Alan, Sep 21, 14:50:21
        
        is that the free-flowing football that enabled Arsenal to go a whole season unbeaten? (NCFC) - blindasabat, Sep 21, 14:57:52
        
        Different team... (NCFC) - Alan, Sep 21, 15:03:25

        Good point... (NCFC) - Alan, Sep 21, 14:39:14
    - Spurs would be perfect though. Chelsea is a no win situation for everyone. With Spurs (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Sep 21, 14:04:20
      - It would certainly be good for the English league, I agree (NCFC) - Old Git, Sep 21, 14:08:50

        That really is tosh, the credit crunch must be addling your brains (NCFC) - Old Git, Sep 21, 14:25:43
        
        He is a far, far better manager than Jol (NCFC) - Old Git, Sep 21, 14:09:41
        
        Yes, because he'd teach them how to dive and whinge (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Sep 21, 14:08:50
