Morning bros!!
apparently, i think i probably have been labelled as RB's lackey too! hahaha
anyhow, to bro Omnia or other fans who think Jose will be better, are you guys sure?
on League performance:
both sign on 2004 for Chelsea and Liverpool respectively, but look at the squad inherited, and the amount of financial resources given..
JM had Terry, Gallas, Lampard, Cole, Makalele, Duff, Gudjohnsen and spent 90+ millions to buy Peter Cech, Robben, Drogba, R. Carvalho and others..
RB had Carra, Gerrard, Hamann, Baros, Riise (?), Kewell (??), Smicer (???), Dudek (????), Traore (??????) , Biscan (??????) and spent about 18 million on Alonso and Luis Garcia, (i refused to acknowledge that RB bought Cisse since the transfer was settled by GH before RB came on board)..
close fight? turn the table around and i dont know how far can Jose Mourinho can bring us, and of course, we will never know the answers.. we can only speculate..
On Champions League:
Mourinho won CL in 2004, look at his opponents to the Final.. (for ref:
F.C. Porto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) besides Man Utd, who were worthy opponents?
compared that to Liverpool's opponents on the way to Final in 2005, we had Bayer Leverkusen, Juventus, Chelsea, and Milan.. So far, beside leading Porto to win in 2004, JM had yet to bring another team to Final, not with Chelsea (RB saw to that twice).. maybe this year he might.. unless Barcelona stopped him again.. while Liverpool went to final twice under RB..
and for those who think RB is a failure, look at the clubs courting him to take over, please.. Real Madrid and Juventus are not small team, why would they want to get someone who is lousy? Big Clubs want successful manager to lead the team..
hmm.. think i will surely be labelled as RB's lackey permanently after this liao.. hahaha
