The Mourinho Virus is going to do so much damage to us long-term. Lumbering us with a load of geriatrics whilst destroying the development of our youngsters. Lots to look forward to.

It’s easier to do so when the young players are surrounded by top pros, whilst coming into an established successful team with leaders around them. Schmeichel, Bruce, Keane, Cantona for example.
I see no evidence of any youngsters who’s development has been destroyed.

Only for commerciallly valuable players. That’s the department which runs the club post Fergie. Even then, it will probably be borrowed.

That’s not a position of power.

Fergie wasn't buying a bunch of soon to be 30 year olds when he was losing out to Chelsea in the seasons running up to 2007.
