He did most of the work of getting the class players. But as shown in the Champions League semi-final, he wasnt as good a manager as Mourinho. He makes alot of questionable substitutions and doesn't motivate his team like Mourinho. \n\nBut he did most of the work of bringing the backbone of the current Chelsea team together.

Sorry, but so far only one team have won the English premiership in back-to-back seasons, and that's Manchester United, on three separate occasions. Although that's about to change as Chelsea will of course retain the title this season. So all you idiots that have replied with Liverpool, Arsenal etc, go hang your heads in shame. And as for the question setter, do you really know the English Premiership?

Given that Chelsea are 6 points ahead (I think) and that both teams have played the same number of games and there's no many more games to go then I think it's likely that Chelsea will win.  The only way Man U will take the title is if Chelsea start losing games and in all honesty, this is very unlikely to happen given their record this season.\n\nAlthough Man U have picked themselves up after a poor start to the season (poor by their usually high standards) they've still got to have a lot of luck on their side if they're going to win.\n\nEven if Man U win every remaining game it's likely that Chelsea will win all theirs as well.\n\nPersonally I'd like to see Man U win - not so much because I like Man U but because I don't like Chelsea.  Man U have become the 2nd biggest club in the world (Real Madrid have taken the title from them) by being good and nurturing young players and not because a Russian with a pile of money has bought top players.

I think Barcelona proved it this year winning Champions League and La Liga.  Chelsea is right behind them.

Hey Juventina\nYes, I think there should be an award for best coach of the tournament (whichever one it may be).  Of course I would say that Lippi would have deserved that honour simply because he was able to direct a team that was hurting badly from all that was happening at home with the scandal. Not to mention Pessotto's (I think that's how you spell his name) attempted suicide during the world cup.  He held the team together and because of his hard work and dedication they won the most coveted trophy in soccer.\nForza Azzurri per sempre.

As a Chelsea fan, i completly love Jose Mourinho, he has being nothing short of a sensation since arriving at Chelsea in 2004. He has transformed us from maybe's to champions of England. His coaching style is very good, as he always keeps his players on there toes, never hardly let the players drop their standard whilst playing.\n\nThe reason why he comes across as being arrogant, is because he is soley a winner and all winner's have that edge on themselves, look at Muhammed Ali, Sir Alex Ferguson, Thierry Henry, people like that.\n\nIf you really are a Chelsea fan you should be enjoying this period, like myself, as we have being stuck in the shadows of Manchester United and Arsenal for far too long.

no i think that even with out him they have a chance of winning the cup as they have other key players who could lead them to the cup. one player doesnt always make a difference

No, unfortunately he called it good. I wish he hadnt cause we still see a bunch of youngster he would've been able to take down easily had he continued playing, and look at Berkamp, Romario, Cafu, Maldini, all still playing and still putting up with the kids out there.\nIm sure Batistuta would still prove usefull in a great many teams

yes because in his last season at real madrid he won the treble and the board were not happy with that.i think they have won 1 trophy since.

I agree. He cheated in a vital match when he used his hand.\nHe is good but not great like Pele, George Best & that ilk.

Yes, Chelsea will win the premier league and make it a hatrick, coz they have ranks in reserves for backup, where as Man U, even though flying high, if Ryan, Ronaldo, Rooney and Saha, get injured and if they r out for a month, nobody in their reserves can match them and they will certainly drop points and certainly chelsea will get through. By the by, I'm a Liverpool fan and Liverpool will win UEFA Champions League.

that would be a definite yes.They have the perfect team,everything from their defence to striking is the best.MOst of the defenders in the world team of the year was from ac milan.and we all know shevchecko is one of the best, so eventually with a team like that they willl WIN.

You must be a Chelski fan to make such a ridiculous statement!!\n\ni'm a Spurs fan,so have no great love of Man U. or Ferguson....but he is miles ahead of Mourinho.i think he's won over 25major trophies(including several at Aberdeen,with no money and when he had no experience!).Mourinho would take at least 10years to even get close to ferguson's achievements,that doesn't mean he's not a great manager,we just don't know yet!! he was at Porto who are a massive club and had some great players when he took over,now he is at Chelski,with more money than sense! so is he really that great? or just very lucky?\n\ni bet if you put Mourinho in charge of a club like Aberdeen,he wouldn't acheive what Sir Alex did!!\n\nget your facts straight mate!!

I'm a big Man Utd fan and sure hope they'd win. but realistically, I don't think chelsea will slip anymore points or slip enough for Man Utd to win...\nbut who knows... let hope a for miracle.
