The problem is that Cruyff can't be sacked because isn't in the club. Some people (and I'm included) criticize his attitude because he wants to take decisions but doesn't want to be for example the sporting director, he says that he doesn't decide anything but all the people know that his advices are important for the president (some people call him for this reason the invisible friend), basically because I think that the president Laporta is or was the Cruyff's lawyer and they have a close relationship. Then to sign Mourinho I think that who should leave the club is the president, but in the next elections the two main candidates that could be the next president don't think that sign Mourinho either.

But will have to wait and see. I think that Mourinho will sign next summer for Milan or Inter.

Wasn't Mourinho at Barca when Bobby Robson was there?

Should be in 2010 but if the situation gets worse could be before.

Wasn't a great game by any means, although the goal itself was constructed beautifully: RVN's wall pass was inch perfect for THE BEAST to smash it home first time, and what a clinical finish it was.

Barca badly missed Messi - forget your Ronaldinho's, Deco's and your Eto'o's...Messi is the teeth in Barca's chainsaw. Without him they looked blunt.

Rijkaard is in trouble, alright...but I don't think TSO will step in.
