These are the sort of mofos in control of my club. And then I get banned from Chelsea forums for criticising Abrahmovic.

Fun fact they also own TM to "Chelski" :lol::lol:

We might as well derail this thread a little bit more: do you know if Blackberry are still putting out new models? For the general public I mean.

Just watching a programme on our new manager now on SkySports about his management career. Got really excited about him arriving soon, the feedback from the players is brilliant as well, gives a real insight into what to expect.

The ITV one on here is worth a watch as well, the SkySports one is pretty good as well.

Hurry up and get this done.

This is becoming silly now

Is this the first time they have to deal with such a thing ? Seems like he really is the special one if that is the case. Really can't understand this wasn't taken care off when Chelsea fired Mourinho and I also can't understand it wasn't already taken care off by United in the many months they had to prepare this deal...

LVG should get the sack, takes 6 months to finally do that, takes a bloody week to negotiate a deal with a man that has been without a job for 6 months and has been nailed on to be the replacement for 6 months. The mind boggles.

Why the panic? It will be sorted in a day or two.
Why are football fans generally so impatient?

I am relaxed about the whole situation. He'll sign and be our new manager.. This'll get sorted pretty soon.. I mean, what are Chelsea gonna do?! Refuse to release his naming copyright( If that is even true)?! Good luck selling Jose Mourinho Mugs and Silverware when he wins a title here. They'll look like idiots and we get free publicity for our manager. Naah.. This'll get sorted soon. I read a few posts above that his rights could be a six figure value, which is nothing for a club like us and our marketing team might just earn it back in a few hours.

There is a higher chance of him changing his name to JoMo and agreeing to drive a second hand Chevy if it means managing us than either party walking away from the deal for these reasons.

This might be the first time we might have a manager who might have sponsors of his own and the situation might be a new one for us, but no way is this not gonna happen for such silly reasons..

I would've been more worried had LvG stayed till today and there was no news on whether he stayed or went..The bigger issue has been dealt with. This is just a matter of formality and maybe a day or two.

I just hope he starts immediately. I don't even want him to wait till June 1st.

Yeah well, it is not that easy in RL stuff.

Also, both parties want each other. They can take as much as time to make sure both sides are pleased with the terms and whatever. I am sure club has to say a lot to him about all the behaving stuff, youth policy and shit while Jose has his own to say.

Let them sort out and take their time.

Not really. These sort of details have to be the last to be negotiated. We'd have looked pretty stupid if we'd bought the trade mark from Chelsea then the deal with Mourinho fell through at the last minute for some reason.

It's almost like people are getting unnecessarily worked up about something they know nothing about.
