Nah i heard he is after the Birmingham Job.
Now here is a question, as i cant be arsed to look through the him resigning thread.
He is apparently paying the 13.2million himself, Is chelsea then paying him back in Signing on fee. So he can then sign Porto's players.
Yep, that's what they are doing and I presume that they are doing it that way so they can sign their players.

He does love Porto, he's supported them all his life. Fair enough he shouldn't have said he wouldn't leave and that he had unfinished business with Porto, but can't he have any ambition? He said he's only going to have a short managerial career and he will be wanting to make the most of it and manage in the biggest league at one of the biggest teams in the world.
maybe emotion overcame him when he said that he will stick with Porto considering he said it right after helping them win the Treble... surely he would like to manage in the best league in the world at one point and he is certainly talented enough to do so
Im not saying he cant, im just saying that - if not with money, with a lot of money. Nobody could resist this kind of temptation, and it was silly for him to say he wouldnt leave. Anyway, dont get me wrong here, Im happy that he will try to do his best here. really am. And if he actually said that he will retire in 10 years, its a shame.. indeed.
Villas Boas admits that he wanted to be a football player; but after realizing he was not a very good midfielder, he decided to become a coach. Then he met Sir Bobby Robson, who gave wings to the dreams of a sixteen year old.
But how exactly did Villas manage to impress the great Sir Bobby Robson at such a young age, prompting the latter to enroll him in coaching schools?
When Robson was the coach of Porto in 1994 (Incidentally, Mourinho was his translator), he used to leave the free-scoring striker Domingos Paciencia on the bench too often.
Villas Boas, who lived in the same apartment block as Robson, wasn’t impressed much with the coach’s decision; but he was too shy to approach Sir Bobby, and hence decided to voice his discontent by writing a letter to the great man.
Impressed with the content of the letter, Robson called upon Villas Boas and challenged him to prove his point by collecting statistics and reports of the next few Porto games.
Villas Boas delivered such a detailed and impressive report ,that Robson immediately incorporated him as a trainee with the club’s youth-team coaching staff, and enrolled him at Lilleshall for a coaching license.

The Porto president said if Chelsea want to sign either Moutinho or Falcao then i dont want to talk to them. If they want them then they have to meet their release clause simple as that. Which stands at Moutinho(30mill) and Falcao(26mill).
Not what their president said, 30million pounds.

Interesting as I'd expect Modric to be available for close to Moutinho's value. Who will they go for?
right, that means roughly 60 mil for both of them? Im still not sure if Moutinho is the right man for Chelsea.. whataya say?
Whats the chances we get Porto in the CL?
Apparently the new Porto manager (his old assistant) was given the chance to come to Chelsea with him be he said no.

I would think Moutinho now, Spurs are adament they dont want to sell.

I dunno, one of the best football jounelists/analist Andy Brassell said he was the player/bargain of the year in Europe. We need a playmaker especially if we want to get the best out of Nando so i say lets do it.
