I'm starting to feel like we could really use his personality, but it might just be my frustration at how lethargic we are. I feel like the correlation between how well a club performs and how motivated its players are is incredibly strong this year. Spurs, Leicester, and Atletico so obviously give far more of a **** than everyone else. The backlash against the MORE PASSION crowd was long overdue, but it's gone too far the other way at the big clubs.
I think Mourinho works best at an underdog club. Porto, Chelsea first time round and Inter were good examples. Wrong time for him at Utd.
Possibly, but it's never going to be a perfect match, our options are limited. Even if he builds a team close to the quality of his RM side he'd walk the Premiership. 121 league goals in a season playing more or less the type of football United want to see.
They're minted now aren't they?
Underdog isn't the right choice of phrase, when Mourinho went there first time round they were a club desperate to show that they belonged at the top table. Yeah Ranieri had taken them to 2nd place but they were still new monied trash who had won one solitary title in their history and were the 4th biggest club in London. Mourinho's carried a massive chip on his shoulder ever since his Barcelona days and Chelsea of 2004 fitted him perfectly.
Arsenal, Tottenham, ???
Presumably he's talking about West Ham. Though it'd be a somewhat dubious assertion if so.
