The one thing you can't argue with Mourinho is his success. Everything else is up for debate. He is the world master at stopping other teams playing. He has created a cult around himself and has a management style that is incredibly effective if players buy into this (unlike they did at RM). But he is an enemy of football in the sense that his motivation begins and ends at himself. He clearly feels no responsibility towards the game that has given him success - and for a manager of his pedigree to play the way he does, and behave the way he does is inexcusable. Comparing Wenger to Mourinho in terms of custodianship of the game is like comparing Nelson mandela with Robert Mugabe.
