'Mourinho is not using the FA'

Jose Mourinho's advisor has rejected any notion the former Chelsea boss is using the Football Association as a negotiating tool in order to land a massive club job in Europe.


Mourinho has emerged as the bookies' favourite to succeed Steve McClaren as England coach, with reports suggesting the FA could be prepared to pay as much as £6million a year in order to attract him.


So far, no contact has been made with the Portuguese tactician by FA chief executive Brian Barwick, who, along with director of football development Sir Trevor Brooking, has been charged with the task of finding the next England manager.


Mourinho was at pains to avoid committing himself one way or another when a British TV crew arrived at his Portuguese home in Setubal but different sources close to the 46-year-old have offered widely differing views over his willingness to replace McClaren.


Some say he is keen on the job, others that he wants to stay in club management, with AC Milan emerging as a likely destination given their current poor form.


However, according to Mourinho's trusted advisor Eladio Parames, there is no way he would use one job to get another.


"That is all lies," Parames said. "Mourinho would never do that."


Mourinho is currently on holiday with his family and Parames confirmed anyone interested would have to speak with his agent Jorge Mendes, who also represents Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo.


"Jose has not been contacted by any club or even the FA, so there have been no developments in his situation," continued Parames.


"If any club is interested in talking to him they must contact Jorge Mendes.


"Nothing has happened. It is all just speculation."

Guess that means get your bets on, "It wont be long now" !!!

The FA want to print up a contract for him NOW. What great sense this is for the FA, if they can get him to sign a four year deal all they have to do is sit back and enjoy themselves, if it all goes wel with Jose at the helm its a pat on the back for the FA for appointing him, and if he fails then all the FA have to say is.....Well all you lot wanted him so we just went along with popular demand.
For the FA its a ....WIN....WIN.....situation if Jose signs.
