Do you know why Mourinho is called the special one in England? Its becuase on his first interview he said Chelsea is a special team and pardon him but he is a special manager and he thought they will win the title.
Now you have to remember that Chelsea had not won the league in 50 years, Arsenal and Manu united were the dominant forces, in fact Arsenal had just come off a season where they went unbeaten, and he managed to win both the worthington's cup and the Premier league in his very first season, taking on and beating Fergie and Wenger both on and off the pitch.
Now you all might say with Roman,s money, and yes that did help, but he didnot buy superstars, he bought players he knew and players he felt with fit into his masterplan, on the way making superstars outta Lampard and Terry and making Gudjohnssen into a very accomplished midfielder , Cole into a very useful player, no longer show boat with no end product. Ranieri with the same players, in 4 years, won nothing
Mourinho also with Porto, not the richest team in the world, by the way, won many league titles, the UEFA cup where he beat Lazio 4-0 in the semis, and the Champions league where he knocked out man united, Depor, conquerors of Milan, and Monaco 3-0 who conquered, yes you guessed it, Chelsea , Roman and all.
Be very afraid if he ever goes to Inter, cos he will take on the off the field influence of both Milan and Juve and he might come out on top
