At least two people have thrown their name into the hat, it seems: Fabio Capello and now The Special One. Can you imagine the hype that would surround England if they actually do hire Mourinho? It would certainly be very intriguing from that aspect alone.
I can't see Mourinho being satisfied only coaching a national team for an extended period of time. I guess money talks, but would he be willing to manage spariodically through 2010?? I think his competitive fire burns too much to settle for that.
Sound thinking, andypalmer. For my money he's the best English manager in the game, and probably the best in the Prem [not named Arsene Wenger].
