Rom will snub Mourinho

NO WAY BACK ... Jose Mourinho
CHELSEA owner Roman Abramovich has ruled out an emotional return for Jose Mourinho.
The Special One, who secured six trophies in three seasons at Stamford Bridge, has refused to rule out quitting Real Madrid in the summer and completing what he claims is unfinished business at SW6.
But billionaire Red Rom, who forked out nearly £16million in compensation to Mourinho when they parted company in 2007, insists he will not come back.
SunSport exclusively revealed on Friday the Blues owner is ready to offer Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola a whopping four-year deal worth £40MILLION after tax in a bid to tempt him from the Nou Camp.
A highly placed Blues source said: "There is absolutely no way Roman will go back in for Jose — no way.
"Russians never go back, they replace things rather than fix them and they never admit they are wrong.
"For Roman to bring back Mourinho would be admitting to a very expensive mistake."
Abramovich was also said to be furious last month when Mourinho was house-hunting in London — and it was conveniently leaked at a time when the pressure on Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas had reached breaking point.
The source added: "It's convenient that Jose is always talking up a return when there are problems at other clubs. The same problems eventually led to his departure.
"While Roman continues to own the club people should forget about him returning."
