It's interesting that Chelsea have drawn inter in the Champions League on many levels. Some might say Mourinho is on a bit of a hiding to nothing. If he loses, I suspect this will definately be his past season in Italy as it could be argued that in the Champions League he hasn't improved them. You could argue that the group stages he has been a tad unlucky, drawing a very good Manchester United team first time of asking last year, and a resurgent Chelsea first time of asking this time around.
That's not the way that big clubs look at things though. Getting out of the group is an absolute penalty kick for most big clubs (Inter managed it even with Barcelona in their group) and as we all know the competition doesn't even start proper until you've managed that, and arguably got through another round or two as well. So i can't see the Italian media and hierarchy being too sympathetic to Mourinho's plight and probably nor should they. Top class managers stand or fall by results, and although he will probably once again win the league title, most big clubs (although not all obviously) will not usually stand for what they consider to be failure.
I did see some of Inters matches in the group, and I strongly expect chelsea to beat them fairly comfortably unless Mourinho can pull off something special. Mourinho will be managing in the Premiership next season. Very interesting.
