    Its not about playing them, its about trying to weaken their club, apparently?

    Anyway, how's it going for united with two former saints players?

    And he has been sacked 3 times,2 teams he left went into absolute self destruction mode and two detoriated badly until someone one took out the rot and got it going again.

    You're clearly a glass is half empty kind of guy <laugh>

    He's been sacked 3 times. That's about as much as you can come back with, which has zero influence on how much he's won or will win. Tbf if you'd sacked Wenger 10 years ago, you might have won something in that time? Who knows! #COYG! <ok>

    Yeah,sure and pass on the new stadium and financial stability that lets us spend from our own pocket only second to united in england and fifth in the whole world to only bayern,barca,real and united...setting us up for line as long as we are decently prudent to have the resource to be a big club?Sure if i was as short sighted as you.

    Sure he won a lot when he had a superior squad to everyone else and other challengers were in transition,his great achievements are the porto treble and inter cl which he has counter balanced with his underachievement with real in the cl,didnt make the final once,lost to 3 different teams,lost the dressing room and left after a trophyless season,was on the way down when he was sacked by chelsea twice..

    So if you only want to see his winnings,go ahead.

    Well what else is there to see?

    In one paragraph you've claimed his advantage was a superior squad to everyone else and then in the same breath stated his greatest achievement was the treble with Porto and treble with Inter. That makes no sense. Do you actually read what you're posting?

    What you're basically saying is that Mourinho has got himself sacked 3 times while winning **** loads of league titles and CLs during which time Wenger has got a new stadium and a good bank balance while winning **** all bar a couple of FA Cups. You're just another gullible gooner fella.

    Dont get me wrong there are plenty who don't like Jose (justifiably so) but he's a winner. And while some may not want Jose as manager, there are many many more who wouldnt want a failure like Wenger.

    You do know he won the treble with Inter and the league with Real (against a very good Barca)?

    You can see that i did write both the porto treble and the inter cl right?

    He had the best squad in the world arguably for the three seasons he was at Real Madrid and he won the league once,then dropped off tremendously and we all know what happened after that,its in my previous post.

    Stop hyping this,guy he is not special.

    You want special check out Diego Simione

    Would have been clearer if you had written "the Porto and Inter trebles" <ok>

    Can I just point out it wasn't THE treble with Porto? It was UEFA cup. The champions league was the following year.

    Then he won a couple of league titles with Chelsea and the real treble with Inter.

    So yeah, his record isn't that special. Diego Simeone's one league title and one europa league is far superior.

    Also worth noting since he took charge of Porto he has never taken over a club that finished below 3rd place the season before he arrived, and even then it was only once with Chelsea.

    Took over Porto as runners up and cup winners
    Took over Chelsea as runners up and CL semi finalists
    Took over Inter as three time league winners
    Took over Real as runners up and Copa winners
    Took over Chelsea after 3rd place and a Europa League

    Somewhat ironic that we've always questioned whether he could turn a club around like SAF did, and he's currently struggling to do just that with our club <laugh>

    Not being able to be top 2 when you have the best squad in world is not an underachivement?Well then enjoy,you will have similar underahivements that you can classify as sucesses like being 2nd longest serving manager in england,spending the most, breaking the world record transfer fee and being 6th in the league,8points from 4th... spectacular isnt he?[emoji23]
