downendcity Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 Looks like LJ is spending big already. Bristol City boss Lee Johnson hopes a "£450 bottle of wine" will entice Jose Mourinho to sit down with him after Wednesday's Carabao Cup quarter-final. The Championship side host Mourinho's Manchester United in their first last-eight tie since the 1988-89 season. Asked if he hoped to spend time with the Portuguese, Johnson said: "I hope so. I spent £450 on a bottle of wine! "I have had to raid my little girl's piggy bank. It is being flown in especially from Portugal." The 36-year-old head coach, who has overseen eight wins in the past 10 games, has ordered a bottle of Barca Velha Red 2004, reportedly a favourite of the former Chelsea and Real Madrid manager. "We have done the due diligence and realised Jose likes this particular bottle that has to be poured by an expert," Johnson told BBC Sport. "So hopefully he'll come in and have a little chat with me and I'll try to pick his brain for five or 10 minutes. "He's absolutely at the top of his game, with world-class managerial qualities. Any young coaches like myself of course naturally try and emulate coaches like that." Hasn't LJ heard that Jose is a Thatchers man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swede Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 Spend as much money as you can on the best players available. It's not rocket science. Given the global competition of Milan, Madrid, Barcelona, Paris and London; unless you're offering many more bucks I can't see why the world's elite would choose Manchester over these cities.
