Here is the place to talk about all things city and football!
by Mark (Blue Army) » Sun Mar 21, 2010 1:38 am
MANCHESTER City will ask Jose Mourinho to name his price in the summer in a bid to tempt him back into English football.
City are aware that even though Mourinho guided Inter Milan into the Champions League quarter-finals at the expense of Chelsea in midweek, he is not happy in Italian football.
Ambitious City are backed by Sheikh Mansour’s billions – and he will not flinch at increasing Mourinho’s current pay packet of £8.3million a year – £160,000 a week.
The Inter boss has a £5.5m buy-out clause but that presents no problem for the richest club in the world, who are determined to win the major trophies. And, in an amazing twist, Roberto Mancini could end up back at Inter Milan.
When he replaced Mark Hughes as City boss, Mancini was told that his position would be reviewed in the summer. He is still on friendly terms with Inter president Massimo Moratti despite being shown the door to allow Mourinho to be appointed.
City’s big worry as they seek the manager they regard as the best in the business is that Real Madrid are also in the market for a top boss in the summer after deciding to ditch Manuel Pellegrini.
If Mourinho doesn’t end up in Madrid then City believe they could well land their man.

For me it's a case of what ever it takes to get him here do it.

Of course, no better job for the media now.
I say lets see what happens this season first. Talking about a manager change isnt what we need at this stage.
The press and its agenda.

Very likely that this is just yet another made up story by the English gutter press that would a) love him here to fuel their media circus and b) further enjoy de-stabilising CITY - especially when we have an important game today
For me further evidence why Jose and barge pole fit into the same sentence

Talk of this, at this stage of our season is shite.
We have a job to do and the last thing we need is some idiot hack putting a spoke into it.

Its a John Richardson piece. Even the other hacks on the Sunday Supplement took the piss out of him the other week.

Whether this article has any truth or not, and it probably doesn't, I'd have Mourinho at any price whatsoever, end of.
