José Mourinho says ‘£300m not enough’ for Manchester United to compete https://trib.al/jzY8TeG 

[DungBeetle]

Mourinho effectively saying that he cannot be effective as a manager unless he has the biggest budget.  If you have 2nd biggest budget then Mourinho is saying he is a poor candidate for the job.

Think that applies to most PL Managers though.

Rafa Benitez, who is inexplicably adored by Newcastle fans, keeps bleating on & on about lack of investment in players being the sole reason for poor results.

Sean Dyche, Manager of the Year for me last year, & well on course for the double this year, seems to cope though.

Maybe Jose needs to realise he just isn't that special afterall. 

The makings of a good manager is one who take players to a different level and also who can identify talent buy it cheap and manage to sell it on.

The difference is only a clown utterly lacking in self awareness would say it repeatedly when he has spent about 200
Million on Pogba and lukaku.  And that’s before we get to the supporting cast.  When Newcastle spend 30 million less than watford Rafa probably has a point.

Jose has never been anything other than a cheque book manager.  Very lucky at Chelski to be gifted Terry (youth system) and Lampard (bought by a previous manager) for his entire stint there as their two major players.  His whining really does get on your tits after a while when he has still spent fortunes in the market (relatively badly a lot would argue) compared to their main rivals Liverpool/Arsenal/Spurs/Chelsea.  They have also run ahead of EV so far this season and a lot of xg tables have them in 5th or 6th spot yet the gaffer still moans relentlessly.

Mourinho- ''City buy full backs for the price of strikers''

As Fletcher would say "he's a charmless nerk".

Jose would be a terrible results orientated gambler.  Could you imagine him moaning how bad he was running playing roulette when he was breaking even during a session (effectively beating the house edge and running ahead of ev).  This is pretty much the same as his moaning about their season so far this year.  Running ahead of EV but he deludes himself he is running bad.
