He probably dupes a club, saying he needs a sort of guarantee from the club, that they believe in him, blah-blah-blah. Or he can't work properly. Next year his initial 3 years deal is up, so it makes sense for a club to negotiate extension right know.
Mourinho set to sign contract extension | Done

Mou won UCL with Porto and their unknown player , we already have the better manager.. Let's talk again after poch does it with spurs
Talk about what? Wasn't drawing comparisons between the two
Guess this means we're going to learn the hard way that he isn't the man for the job.
All the good managers are coming to the EPL... from a manager's standpoint... why do you want to go to the Bundesliga or Ligue 1 unless you want to play King of the Hill with Bayern or PSG? Or with Barcelona and Real Madrid in La Liga? You either win everything, or get called a failure playing against inferior teams 30 plus games per season. The EPL has interesting fixtures every week and top class managers to match wits with as well. It makes sense that a coach who loves the sport and spirit of competition would love the Premier League over the elite teams from the other 4 leagues who use their league matches as virtually friendlies for Champions League. I'm not saying that Mourinho will stay forever, but especially while the likes of Pep, Conte, Klopp, Pochettino etc are in the league, it makes sense that he would enjoy playing against them rather than plotting against the likes of Monaco and Lyon.
Pretty sure you didn't want Mourinho in the first place because this is the best league postion we are in half a decade and yet a new contract according to you means he is preparing to leave.
Yet Poch has zero fluke runs. They start with challenging for the league and end up nowhere while giving up on the cups and try to repeat the same next season. If anything they are falling behind the league table again and again while not winning anything while parading their "at least we tried to win the league" despite coming not even close to a league title.
Poch is the flavour of the month because Spurs play good football. But their GD is less than ours, they are hardly challenging for a trophy(Jose won 2 last season) and they are 5th right now.
He got lucky with Alli and Kane and that's why they work on low budgets. Most of their core players have come in from their academy and Poch has very little to do with it.
It's funny how Cup runs are called fluke, but Jose has 2 CLs with two underdog teams (on paper nowhere close to what Poch is handling). Yet you choose to forget that.

You know what else is consistent; Poch flopping in high pressure situations. When you fail consistently in 'fluke' cup competitions it probably means something.
Unai Emery won 3 Europa Leagues in a row; he should buy a lottery ticket!

No, actually i wanted him here. Though as of now he has not really convinced me he is a fit here. "Best position" is just a second place, 12 points away from the leader and just 3-4 points above 4-th place.
But that all have nothing to do with him leaving. If you'd actually read my post, you'll get that Jose always signs the new contract and leaves the year after.
When he will leave next season, i'm pretty sure you'll chalk it up to coincidence.
You make it seem like he sits down and actually plots the scenario: "Let me make sure I get a new contract and then I will leave immediately"
Inspector Clouseau like conspiracy theory.
Jose didn't expect to win the treble at Inter. No one did. It was a once in a generation accomplishment and despite having been approached by Madrid prior to then, it was how well Inter had fared that season that pushed him to move to Real which was a club he had always wanted to manage undoubtedly. The Madrid story is well known. Things simply got bad and he had to leave. He is an adventurer, no doubt. A restless man. And he can be trouble but I don't believe he sits down and plans how to sift a contract from a club with the intention of taking off immediately after. I do believe, like many other managers, he tries to extend his contracts so that whether he stays or leaves, he profits. That is something you and I would do. It simply makes sense.
Why should you be eager to renew the contracts of very good players halfway through their terms but be reluctant to do so for a very good manager when you are thinking of getting back to the top?
It's slightly different for players, they usually get new contracts because of a consistent level of performance on the pitch, with the club confident they can match, or hopefully improve their level, whereas rightly or wrongly Managers are judged on what they do over the length of the season.
I'm confident we'll be fine, but if we were to finish outside the T4 this season(and let's be honest it could only takes a couple off iffy results at the wrong time for us to miss out), Mourinho will have twice failed to get us into the T4, yet failing to do so only once cost the two previous Managers their jobs.
If Mourinho get's a new contract now(before he's met the clubs minimum requirement) you're basically saying to him it'll be nice to finish top four, but it doesn't really matter, carry on regardless
Good for the club IMO. Needs a bit a more time to get the squad to a consistent Top 2/CL SF level.
We will be in the top four this season and the contract renewal will only motivate him more. No need to worry about it.
You know there's penalty, and no severance pay or anything if the manager resigns right?
He is already one of the highest paid manager in his first Chelsea stint.
I bet if he didnt sign the contract extension you'll still be here complaining about him going to leave and not committing to the cause, 3 years doom and all that.
Have you guys seen this one ?
Hope you're right, now if only we can get him to move out of that bloody Hotel
Not sure about that. He seems fine there though and he said something about the place helping him to function better.

The longer he stays there the more i'm moving albeit slowly towards does it really matter, maybe he just suffers from Gamophobia

So he deliberately got himself sacked after signing a new contract at Chelsea so that he could pocket a hefty pay-off??wow!!Not sure why he needs to do that when he makes 15 million quid a year by staying in the job....
No, as i've said him getting sacked was an unexpected turn of events. He did not plan for that. But he did plan to leave. I mean he left Inter and Real a year after signing an extension. So that's three times he has done it.
Top managers do not resign in the current game. Also they never pay any penalties. It's either mutual consent, nobody pays anything. Or their contracts are bought, the new clubs pay. Or they fired, the club pays. Of course there are many example when it's "mutual consent" on paper, but it's actually a termination, so the club pays severance package.
But in order for manager to pay the club. I can't even imagine what has to happen.
Nope. Since he went here, I knew for a fact that he is here just for some time, that's just the way he rolls. I never expected him to be a United manager for say 8-10 years.
No. He simply understands that his "teams" can't live for than 3-4 years and he needs to secure a second deal before going. As i've said it's not like it happened once. It happened at least 3 times. I would not be surprised if he'd actually signed new contract with Chelsea before leaving during the first stint. I just don't want to research that. What i do know, is that he signed new contact and then left within a year in all his last 3 clubs. That's no coincidence.
I wonder, if he will sign a new contract now and then go to PSG in 2019, are going to say that is simply a coincidence and it simply happened that way or are you would actually entertain the idea, that back then, Jose thought it's very likely he would leave in 2019 and thus decided to sign an extension to guarantee himself better financial package for the last year and a better negotiating position in contract talk with the new club?
It seems there are many here who have crystal ball that reads the future. They talk about something that may /may not happen in the future as if they're facts that will sure happen, as if they read the future or have the ability to read the mind of other people.
Fact? What fact? You knew jack shit mate. Stop pretending to know anything. You don't even know whats in mourinho contract.
Every manager would either be poached or fired, does that means they should not sign a contract?
Take a breather mate. You're posting pure garbage and your agenda against mourinho is bordering defamation.
You are over stretching it mate. EVERY manager fights for a new contract as early as possible. It is the common sense thing to do. I bet if you become a manager today, you will do exactly the same thing. Managers are endangered species and their 'job-spans' are incredibly short and insecure. A new contract usually guarantees you a pay off if you are fired. It's not a Mourinho thing. It's common sense.
Might have been true for the old Inter team or Chelsea but if you look at our current squad we are very well set for the long term. Lukaku, Martial,Rashford,Lingard,Pogba,De Gea,Bailly,Shaw are all young and should have at least 5 plus years left at the top level. I think Mourinho will sign the extension and possibly one after that too when/if this team continues to develop. The future is looking good if you're a United fan.
Duncan castles confirms it is done too, should be announced shortly as per him.
Sure but the thing with Jose is that he always leaves a year after.
Apart from Mourinho how many manager than left a year after signing an extension at least two times in a row can you name? I don't know a single one.
You'd better think of excuses for when he will leave in 2019.
Kind of reminds how scousers thought that Suarez was a decent man, and biting, racist stuff is just provocations and propaganda. Football fans and their rose glasses.
Wow.
No thanks, gosh this man's football is terrible.
Telling you now, if Chelsea get Tuchel and Arsenal go for someone like Jardim or Sarri, we may regret it, i'm hopeful we won't, but..
