once again...everything is relative....
ask liverpool about the '00's of millions spent since their last title....
agree....man U fans wouldve have wanted more this season...top 4 yes....title would be pushing it. Mourinho is pragmatic, when he realised he was in a fight for 4th with teams with no european distractions, he made a judgement call about the most realistic way of achieving Champions league next season.
no, im not english and have never been to Manchester, but i have followed/supported them since their FA cup loss to Arsenal in '78 (i think) and am happy to concede that theres a lot less enjoyment in the way that the team is playing. but if you know your football and you know Mourinho, you would know what we got.
the following sums him up.....
Mourinho's simple seven-point plan for winning big games:
1) The game is won by the team who commits fewer errors.
2) Football favours whoever provokes more errors in the opposition.
3) Away from home, instead of trying to be superior to the opposition, it’s better to encourage their mistakes.
4) Whoever has the ball is more likely to make a mistake.
5) Whoever renounces possession reduces the possibility of making a mistake.
6) Whoever has the ball has fear.
7) Whoever does not have it is thereby stronger.
the fact that he has won 12/14 cup finals says it all
