Revisionism.
Season 3 would have been fantastic based on what, winning the FA Cup? Anyone can win the cup if they get the right draw, the rub of the green and are on at the right moments. Arsenal and Wigan did just that the previous three seasons - unless we’re suggesting that they were also on the verge of greatness. Only on here can it be touted that a man who bought a whole new team for a huge amount of money and finished lower in the league while playing shit on a stick football was heading in the right direction. By his own insistence he had one year left so we would have had to look for a new manager in a few months anyway, so why would it have been a smart move to give him even more money to buy the next versions of Sneiderlin, Schweinsteiger, Di Maria or Depay? Mourinho’s tenure did a lot to make people forget just how awful the football was under van Gaal aside from a short spell in his first season. He was supported, he failed - but I wouldn’t hold your breath waiting to hear his account of what he did wrong in any interview any time soon. |

“Laying the foundations” has been his get out of jail free card for a while. It doesn’t help that there’s actually some matches to be played in between his foundation laying and someone else actually achieving something with a couple of players left over from his tenure. He’ll probably be banging on about Rashford in ten years time.
Maybe all the money he wasted in the market was laying the foundations for tax write offs too. |

Louis was building the team and club from the Sir Alex era into the next era, that takes time and people want everything yesterday. It was a really bad December that impacted Louis in the second season, a couple of better results in there we would have finished 2nd or 3rd and people forget we actually finished on the same number of points as City in 4th.
Lets not kid ourselves either, the football under Mourinho for 80% of the time was worse than under Louis. Who can forget the flat back 6 against Middlesbrough away, laughable. |
