Not if you go on and do nothing that's worth talking about. Like Mourinho, he has to win with another team to be considered great. Right now it looks like that Porto shit was a fluke because he completely dropped the ball at Chelsea and Inter are playing like crap.
He won Chelsea's first league title in 50 years or something like that!! How long has he been at Inter? Half a season? Does he not deserve a bit more time to sort it out? I have to say. I think you have been talking utter sh1te on this thread. Complete and utter bollocks.
Anyone could have won a league title with the kind of money they spent to improve that team. You don't take that into consideration? What players a team has is irrelevant? They had the best goalie in the league by far. They had the best defense in the league by far. They had the best midfield in the league by far. And they had Drogba up front. You'd have to be a pretty pathetic coach to avoid winning with that team.
Not anyone did though. Do you really think it's some sort of luck that gets these guys into the top jobs?
What he did with Porto got him that job. He got fired at Chelsea because he failed. If he doesn't do something he will get his ass fired at Inter as well.
I might also add that no one in football history has used as much money as Mourinho did and not won the Champions League. He managed to do that. Which means he was a failure.
Do you not think firing him from Chelsea was a bit of a stupid thing to do considering the amount of success he had?
Having spent £500m with just two titles to show for it, no I don't think so. The objective here was winning the Champions League. They didn't even get to the final until after he left if I'm not mistaken. It was time for something new. Could you imagine Mourinho at the club right now with no money to buy everything he wants? The whining. The sulking. He'd probably have left by himself.
That is the only time we haven't made the knock-out stages of the CL in the last 12-13 years. We have won the most games in the CL era. That is consistency for you. Unfortunately, the inability to adapt tactically has led to regular losses in the QFs and SFs.
In terms of number of CL games played each season, Man Utd are the most consistent. I'll give you that. Though I don't know how relevant that is. Between their 2 CL triumphs they lost basically to the first good team they encountered each time.
Tad harsh. It was basically an inability to win 2-legged ties; we did tend to beat most of the good teams that we used to encounter in the group stages (recall that there were 2 group stages earlier so it was fairly likely to have one of the big clubs in your group).
Scolari is the man. He often starts not good in the teams he works. Just give him some time and you will see!
Transfers 2004 160.900.000 € 2005 91.425.000 € 2006 94.700.000 € 2007 62.900.000 € Plus the increase in salary expenses must have out of this world during those four summers. So £500m sounds about right to me.
even though i hate man u more than anybody, i cant lie. fergie is the best right now... but in all time? ha! ya right! JOCK STEIN! LISBON LIONS!!!
Divide those figures by 3 and multiply by 2 and you're not far off. http://www.chelseafootballclub.net/transfernews.htm Plus the losses accumulated before RA appeared of about £80m makes a total of around £400-£440m including the cost of buying the clubs, i.e. less than half what the people who bought ManU have spent if it's relevant... which, of course, it isn't. We're discussing managers as you've clearly forgotten. LOL Oh, I'm sorry... I forgot. The club you support don't pay their players, do they. They play at weekends whilst going down the mines during the week or being nurses and taking meals to elderly shut-ins. Yes, but, as we've already proved, that's because you're an idiot.
My figures are correct. What the hell does that mean? We are talking about what the manager spent. You're obviously not the smartest fatty around eh. What are you 12 years old? "LOL"? Were you really "LOL"ing? Loser. Did I say my team don't pay vages? Are you an idiot? Apparently. An American calling me an idiot. That's rich. I almost "LOL"ed a bit too.
So you haven't actually got any proof of your statements or an argument against my points, other than to say I'm a fat American child? Didn't you know? Shropshire's the 51st State. Yeah, let's not confuse the issue with all that nasty reality business, eh! Great stuff
If you don't think £500m has been spent on Chelsea since Abramovic bought the club you're crazy. What is the dept at now anyway? £800mil? £1bil?
