Erm and the point about Mourinho is that he won the champions league and uefa cup with porto with no money relative to other teams in the competition. Both are now managers of top teams as they have proved themselves elsewhere, as with alot of things the top managers are with the top teams this is no coincedence.

Tikay I would bet you any money you couldn't mangage Chelsea and Man Utd to anywhere near the success of their current managers and to say so is flippant and wrong.

Well yes, it was flippant, & it was wrong, but I was making a point. Management success via the Cheque Book does not impress me, not one iota. In the days of Bob Lord at Burnley it worked the other way round. Breed players, scout for them, "make them", survive in the top flight AND sell all the talent they discovered & nurtured.

Hush now snati. These football fans get a bit sensitive. I'd sit out if I were you. I thought I'd just wind 'em up & then go offline. Toodle pip.......

See

Terry Venables all over.





And for all you Fergie fans.  I hope you give daily homage to that great Liverpool team of 1990.  If they had taken Palace seriously in the semi, it wouldn't have been such a rediculous final.  Man U in those days didn't have the bottle to beat Liverpool.  They only just scraped past a team they should have stuffed.  That was Fergies last chance, and good on the guy, he grabbed it with both hands.

English football today would be totally different if only Liverpool could defend when it matters.

Some things just don't change.

But Surely Ferguson proved he could do that with St Mirren and even more so with Aberdeen

and Mourinho proved he could work on a small budget with Porto and won back to back European trophies (UEFA Cup 2003 & Champions League 2004) which for a team from such a small country is a staggering achievement in the modern era.

Ferguson & Mourinho have more than earned their stripes with smaller clubs Hence the reason the big boys came looking for their services.

Man Utd had gone more than 20 years without winning the title before Ferguson arrived so it can't have been that easy a job to manage Man Utd can it?
