Chelsea already up 2-0 after 18 minutes. I was convinced they were sabotaging Jose Mourinho, not really surprised. Eden Hazard certainly was sabotaging him, probably a couple more.
 
Would you take Mourinho at Utd? Personally I hate his guts and while he'd probably bring immediate success, I think Utd needs someone to stay for a long time which Mourinho doesn't do.
 
Might go unnoticed because Jamie Vardy just broke the record with 11, Romelu Lukaku has now scored a goal in 7 straight Premier League matches.
 
Guus Hiddink > Chelsea
Jose Mourinho > Manchester United
Carlo Ancelotti > Bayern München (end of season)
Josep Guardiola > Manchester City (end of season)

1st and 3rd official, 2nd highly probable, 4th almost a certainty.
 
He said he's not gonna take a sabbatical, and in my opinion, guy is too competitive to not want to return asap and prove his doubters wrong. Hence why I think he'd take the Utd job if it was offered to him. I'd rather have Guardiola or Ancelotti.
 
United is the only job that I can see being available for Mourinho. Not a lot of teams can afford to pay his wage, the ones that can are all set with their managers for now.

Outside the box possibility: If PSG fails to advance in the Champions League this season, I can see Mourinho going there if he doesn't get a job before the season ends. Very similar scenario to Internazionale.

I'd rather have Guardiola or Ancelotti.

Ancelotti is already out of the list, Bayern reached an agreement with him.
 
Rayo Vallecano were leading 2-1 against Real Madrid by the 13th minute. Got 2 red cards by the 29th, lost the game 10-2 lmfao.

Sniped by Flash, but yeah :p
 
Watched the entire game. Sheer stupidity by Rayo. The first red card was such a dumb play, a completely unnecessary harsh foul on Kroos. And then after they were down to 9 men, they kept attacking in numbers, inviting Real to counter 5 to 3 on most occasions.
 
Platts and Blatts have been given eight year bans. Blatts has said sorry for getting suspended, but not for being corrupt. ::) This is good news and it stops Platts from standing for FIFA presidency (assuming he doesn't appeal successfully of course).
 
Looking more and more likely that LVG -> Mourinho change will happen. It seems like there was a leak since every major newspaper is reporting it'll happen after the Swansea game. Looks to me the only way LVG stays if he batters the next 3 opponents (Stoke, Chelsea, Swansea).
