Wenger 2.0
Him, Wenger, and Ancelotti all come from the same school and era. All 3 are done, two don’t know it yet.

Jose is just asking to be fired, paid out and retire so he can blame the club for the failure. Typical snake but that’s what you get dealing with him he’s a record scum bag
The brazilian league was much stronger in the 50s and 60s. Pele's Santos would whip teams like Benfica and Inter Milan (europes best in the 60s) on the regular back then
Because they rarely ever sold their best players, unlike today, where every semi-promising teenager gets snatched up by some European team
Comparing net spends is such a stupid measurement. Just because you spend money doesn't mean you did so wisely. If Mourinho thinks his team needs improvement and he thinks that Liverpool have improved their team, that's the only thing that matters really. The money is obviously there, but the board isn't buying the players Mourinho wants and aren't strengthening the positions he feels are weakest. Similar to how Abramovich brought Shevchenko to Chelsea and Mourinho didn't even want a new striker.
The reason is that United's owners are in it for profit, they don't care about trophies. Mourinho is like Wenger to them, as long as he keeps getting CL football and the money from that they don't care about anything else.

United going for broken down Boateng. He makes Smalling and Jones look like Cal Ripken Jr in comparison.

Everyone knows the Glazers are in it for profit, this isn't new. But they also know that they will make more if the team is successful and tbh, the longest stretch of not winning is only 2 seasons without a trophy under their ownership.
The board don't trust Mourinho. He wants a player, they go out, get player, within in months it was the wrong player or gets discarded and then complains he didn't get the player he wanted, this is classic Mourinho.
The squad is terribly constructed, the only 2 passing creators in the squad are Mata and Pogba and Mourinho wants Pogba gone.

This goes to show that CR7 and Messi are the true GOATs. Maradona and the rest follow. That guy from flabzil never played in Europe and his stats are questionableso I never include him in any top 10 or top anything.
Sad to see that their story is coming to an end.
Just 10 years ago CR7 had won his first CL with the GOAT franchise in all of sports, Swagchester United
That's because of the Brasilian government, wouldn't allow it.
@ the Pele disrespect. Pele is a footballing deity don't disrespect.And don't compare Mourinho to Wenger. Mourinho has been given lots of money to spend, the problem is their transfer policy is garbage.

In competitive games yeah, not friendly nonsense?
Because Benfica and Inter weren't the best best in the 60's. You had 4 teams win 2 European Cups in that decade (Real, Milan, Inter and Benfica + United and Celtics wins.)
Santos never played Inter and had to go to 3 games to beat Milan.
They did spank Benfica, tho.
And don't compare Mourinho to Wenger. Mourinho has been given lots of money to spend, the problem is their transfer policy is garbage.
