I don't think Wenger ever got the better of Mourinho did he? Before that, our record against Chelsea was excellent. If you claim that Chelsea were already becoming a top team then how come our record changed so drastically when he took over? He is tactically very strong, and clearly got the measure of Wenger is a short period of time.
I'd sum Mourinho up as, very, very good but ultimately a ****.
Mourinho does pick his clubs well - he won't manage at a club he has no chance if winning a trophy at.
And he's an absolute dick. But I think it's a massive achievement to best Barcelona. Maybe I'm overrating them. If Mourinho's messiah complex grows, he will hopefully take on a team on Evertons level and we'll see. He seems to be a real man-manager and will make the most of te players he has.
Zimm said he hasn't spent that much. I pointed out he spent €60m in his first summer, hardly pocket change.
The fact that others have spent money is irrelevant to that exchange.
It is, of course, entirely possible to spend a lot of money and not achieve success but that is also irrelevant.
