Some people offer abundant misinformation about Jose's previous contracts. So I am inclined to set the record straight, we not stupid you know?
1. Renewal of contract with Chelsea (first stint): I genuinely believed Jose wanted to stay longer, but that idiot of owner that they have, decided to sack him because at the time CFC was 2nd and not 1st. Stupidest decision I have ever seen in my life. Roman understood his mistake later on and offered a Ferrari as a gift to Jose.
2. Renewal with Inter: He won the treble and he left by mutual consent, what else was left there to win. He knew after that tremendous year that nothing could excite him more, so he took another challenge, without any compensation from Inter. He was not fired, they respected his decision and I am not sure if Inter accepted any payments from R Madrid either.
3. R Madrid: Again, contract extension, but things got bad with the players, and I am not blaming Jose one bit. He left on his own accord to sign with Chelsea and be closer to his family in London. No compensation either.
4. Chelsea (2nd stint): Things started great and little horse won the league on the 2nd year, as he predicted in a conference the year before. However, he got sacked and received compensation. He was willing to see his contract out, but the owner did not seem to want to. I am confident, given the circumstances, that Jose wanted to stay at Chelsea for the long run, his wife got mad when he was sacked, as the family seem to have settled in London.
Overall, I think if he decides to stay with us for the foreseeable future, I think as long as he is happy and challenged, he will stick with us for more than 3 years. Man Utd will not fire him on a whim, we all know that. They are extremely happy with him at the moment, and I dont see that changing to be honest. So, whoever wants to try to convince us to sack him, they will need to speak to Woody and co. We are getting tired of such baseless rhetoric.
As for the compensation complaints, every single manager in the world has protection from sacking, I dont see why not. Everyone in here would do the same, except of course if you are an armchair cow boy and think you know it all.
Finally, Pep and Jose are way above as managers from anyone else at the moment. I am still iffy about Pep, cause every single team he managed either had great players (Messi) or they have been winning their respective leagues for years cause simply they have the money and others dont (Bayern). I m putting Pep on the same bracket with Jose because he has won almost as many trophies as Jose, however, I dont regard him as better. I know I know, his team plays attacking football blah blah blah, but he has so many world class players at his disposal, that they can actually string more than two passes together, unlike our team who basically is a mix of potentia world class players and players who barely are making the grade. Yet, jose managed to form a team goord enough at the moment to challege spot 2, and maybe, who knows, challenge for top spot, even this season, cause there are so many games and miracles can always happen. I expect us to be in the semi or final in CL, with the addition of Sanchez.
