Is Mourinho finished?
Discussion
Mourinho has always been divisive, you either love or hate his personality, but at least when he’s winning you can put up with his petulance, arrogance and bringing his club into disrepute.
In the early days at Porto, Chelsea (term 1) and Inter Milan he did manage to get the best out of his teams and win trophies.
At Real Madrid the magic started to wane. At Chelsea (term 2) I know they won the league but in the dullest fashion ever and it was an uphill struggle. The following season the squad imploded and, although the truth has never been found out, my sources tell me Mourinho’s personality killed the team spirit.
This season he seems to be declining yet further. He blamed Roman last year for not giving him the funds to rebuild but he can’t accuse United of that this year. He wants to blame everyone but himself, referees, opposition and even luck!
Looks to me like he’s in a deep depression which is dragging down all around him. He seems to think that players should be motivated solely by his reputation and he’s forgetting the basics of man management.
If United fans are hoping Jose is the saviour I think they’re going to be disappointed because he’s not special anymore.

Man Utd spent a lot of time working out if he was right and will not drop another manager quickly. He will be given funds and time and support. His actions deflect attention away from the team
Presumably Utd did due diligence on Moyes and LVG too?Don't give me the b
ks about deflecting attention. It's always been about José and his ego.No, this is not a piss take. Maybe Utd fans don't fancy facing the truth this early. We can revisit this thread in a couple of years to see who's delusional. I'll happily take the flak if José wins a proper trophy (not the league cup).
Reality is he def. changed over the years, at Inter and his first spell at Chelsea he would defend his team, every single one of them benchwarmers included. Creating an hostile atmosphere towards the outside world, mostly journalist. But he never ever critized players. It was part of his repertoire, he used it to motivate his team, it was them against us. And it was effective.
That's changed; at Real, his 2nd spell at Chelsea and now United he's been critizising numerous players in the media. At United mostly the young players (Shaw, Martial for instance). Plus he's started overreacting towards referees, medical staff, opposing team management and overestimating his ability's.
He's become less effective over the years.

And so he should if he's spending £100m on one player. I could manage to get a team above Klopp with that budget.
And thats how Chelsea and City won the league as well.Pretending to be somebody else though as Mourinho did at the beginning of the season gives him away....
