Young Jude Pens Down His Feelings To Jose Mourinho

Young Jude Pens Down His Feelings To Jose Mourinho

A struggling Aston Villa side who saw their manager Paul Lambert resign yesterday after a series of defeats. Having led the side through thick and thins, both the club and manager decided to part ways.

But a young fan, just 6 had different ideas already, even before Paul Lambert left the position. Jude Branson, a claret and blue fanatic from Selly Oak, has written a letter to Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho, asking the Blues chief to take over at Villa and save the day.

In his letter he wrote: “Dear Mr Mourinho, My name is Jude. I am 6 years old and I support Aston Villa. You are my favourite manager. Please could you manage Villa and bring Costa with you? We need help. Thank you Jude Branson.”

Jude’s dad Phil said the youngster became so fed up of watching Paul Lambert’s relegation threatened team lose.

“I took him to the Liverpool match last month and that was the point where he started to get annoyed.” explained Phil.

“We were walking out of the ground after the final whistle and he was moaning asking why we never score or never win.

“The thing is, this is a lad that is totally obsessed with the club, they can do no wrong in his eyes and even he was getting annoyed.

“He said he wanted us to get a new manager so I asked him who does he want.

“Straight away he said Mourinho, no messing! At least he’s got good taste!

“He said he was going to write to him when he got home, so he did. He’s asked Mourinho to come and help, and he’s also asked if he could bring Costa. He’s still convinced that Mourinho is going to come and sort us out.”

And young Jude get his reply from the man himself as he came from school to a surprise autographed picture of Jose Mourinho himself.

'Jude had a nice surprise today when he came back home from school to find that Jose had sent him a signed picture addressed to himself,' his father Phil told the Birmingham Mail.

'The only thing he wanted from his letter was Mourinho to take over at Villa.

'He he didn't get that! So the next best thing for him is definitely this acknowledgement from the man himself.

'It'll be framed and put on his bedroom wall. It's good to know that his letter was read and maybe even planted the seed in his head which will lead him to the Villa job one day. This is an excellent way to end a brilliant few days for Jude.
