ESPN Soccernet latest : Mourinho voices support for FIFA's "6+5" rule Inter Milan boss Jose Mourinho has thrown his backing behind FIFA's controversial "6+5" rule, designed to limit the number of foreign players in domestic leagues, and insists that focusing on home-grown players is the right path to take. Sepp Blatter's contentious proposal, which has the backing of 155 of FIFA's 208 member nations, states that at the start of a game a club must field at least six players who would be eligible for the national team of the country of the club. In an interview with ESPN Mourinho said: "The sentiment I think is correct. I'm not concerned about the exact number, 3+3 or 4+4 or 5+5, that's not the point. But the philosophy of teams to look to youth policy and youth development, I think the philosophy is correct, yes." Serie A side Internazionale famously has very few Italians at the club and this is something that Mourinho has started to address. The Portuguese had too many non-Italian players for his European squad at the start of the season and had to leave five players out of the Champions League list. As a consequence he brought through two of the club's Italian youngsters, Davide Santon and Mario Balotelli, and Mourinho points out it is important for the fans to have local idols to identify with. "You know, the world is global, football is global, we cannot be too much concerned about nationalities, but I think the clubs, they must invest in their formation, in players made in the club, made in the country," Mourinho said. "I think this is also about the empathy between the team and the fans." Ha..Ha..Ha.. after losing to ManU in Champion League, he now agree to the 6-5 rules ...... When he was at Chelsea, he wasn't like that ...... Another SORE loser .....

Just happen to login into ESPN Soccernet and saw this headline : "Mourinho in UK for England interview?" "The Football Association's move to appoint Steve McClaren's successor appeared to have moved a significant step closer today despite sources in Portugal denying that bookmakers' favourite Jose Mourinho has flown to England for an interview. It had been suggested the former Chelsea boss had arrived in the United Kingdom for an interview which, given his impressive CV and popularity among the England support, would merely be a rubber-stamping exercise providing he declared an unequivocal intention to take the job. The mystery over Mourinho's whereabouts does add an element of farce to proceedings but no matter what the precise location of the 44-year-old, with FA chief executive Brian Barwick and director of football development Sir Trevor Brooking concluding their consultative process, they will shortly be in a position to make a move for the 'world-class' candidate they are committed to." Let's all soccer fan here take a vote to see whether England FA would appoint Jose Mourinho as their England Team manager. As for me... its a yes, JM wil be the manager.
