[Olivier's xmas twist]

Whaaaaaa....? Liverpool were the most dominant team in the history of football. Domestically and in Europe.

No i mean in the last few season or in the last 10 years.

Liverpool/City have never really been top 2 teams have they, Real and Barca, AC and Inter always have.

Not saying what he has done is not a great achievement but its not the great mircale people on here make it out to be.

You said top 2 leagues though

No it's not a miracle, far from it, but Jose doesn't get the credit he deserves for what he has achieved so far in his managerial career by people on here, mearly because they don't like him or don't like his way of doing things, or the colour of the coat he wears, etc.

It's laughable tbh.

BBLs are out in force here. Anything to belittle Reals and Joses achievement of overhauling this brilliant Barcelona side who imo are the best ever

And then, a few hours later

Its more 09-11 tbh and even in 2010 they weren't all that. Worst best side of all time ever? I'd say so

[Cripps_orig]

And then, a few hours later

Its called WUMming?

Praise Barca to back up how good Mourinho is

Belittle them all other times

Which is why you can't be taken seriously in any debate. It's impossible to know whether you're posting what you actually believe. And every time I accuse you of WUMming you go into "who me?" wide-eyed innocent mode.

I said top 2 teams in each league. If Jose Went to Madrid when they were not a big name in spain then id appreciate his success their more.

But they will always be a top 2 team there. He won the legaue with a team/Sqaud he should have since they are the best in spain. Its not a Mircale Or Spectular IMO its something they should be done.

He has achieved some incredible things fair play to him, but most has been with the help of a chequebook.

I admire him for what he did with Inter though.

See that's what bugs me, the chequebook comment.

Tell me the name of 1 manager at a top team in any league that has won it or other cups without spending money.

As has been said elsewhere, spending money does not guarantee success.

You can spunk all the money in the world on buying players, but if you don't manage them correctly, get them playing as a team and use the right tactics, then you will ultimately win fuck all.
