Great sense of style, makes football boring…
Being that we’ve all been raised to perform to a middling level of mediocrity and then never blow our own trumpets afterwards, Jose Mourinho seemed so dangerous and tell-it-like-it-is when he turned up in 2004. There isn’t an Englishman alive who could match him for mixing results with bravado - except probably Bergerac.
Unfortunately, on the football pitch, he created a team so mundane that watching Chelsea was the football equivalent of witnessing a big boring robot mindlessly pulverising an infant in a maths competition. Dull, dull, dull.
But now Chelsea are brilliant. So do we really want the boring one back in the Premier League? Let us know with a vote.

To me, a wrestling match is a dull affair but the prelude makes it all the more appealing. Same thing with a football match. A brilliant manager will know how to spice up the prelude and in turn it excites the players and finally fans eagerly fill up the stadiums. Jose M is doing a good job in Italy now. Everybody wants to beat his team and claim a place in the spotlight. I miss him dearly in EPL.

Jose was great; Chelski were awful - it would be great if he came back to manage, say, bolton who are deplorable anyway and he can only make life more fun but please don’t let him ruin a good team’s footballing instinct
