Jose Mourinho wants to be where people love him.

"In England I am loved by the fans and the media, fairly criticized or credited when I deserve," he said after Real Madrid's Champions League knockout by Borussia Dortmund.

How quickly he forgets. So do the Mourinho fan club among the English press who can't wait for his return. In March 2007, while he was Chelsea manager, he was so upset with the English media he stopped talking to them. He was furious at what he regarded as deliberately misleading reporting after he admitted to a Spanish journalist that "it would be an honor" to manage Real Madrid.
