I’m not saying he isn’t a successful manager but he has never managed a club in any league that weren’t already highly successful like Porto, or without spending more than his rivals, or were winning the League without him before he took over, and they still continue to do so.
As for winning the CL, he did win it, but with an extraordinary amount of luck as well.
He also only played Monaco in the final.
At Chelsea he bought seven or eight world class players to go with the few world class ones that were already there, and still played a defensive style.
In his career I can’t think of any young players he has brought through from the youth system, and he only buys titles rather than building a team like Wenger did.
This is one of the main reasons he hates him.
He knows that Wenger could have done what he did with ridiculous amounts of money, but he also knows he could never have done what Wenger did by building a successful team with limited spending.
He is also jealous that Wenger was renowned throughout Europe for having the most entertaining sides, but his own reputation is winning trophies playing boring, if effective football.
That is quite true he doesn’t have anywhere near a universal approach.
Mkhitaryan to United was never going to work when you listen to his interviews and what others have said about him, he’s way too gentle a character and needs a manager to instill confidence in him as the likes of Wenger would.
I do think that saying he buys titles is a bit OTT though and belittles his achievements, spending money does not guarantee success.
a very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very
small part of me wants Pep to actually go unbeaten to see how Jose reacts.
it will be along the lines of ‘well it is very easy to what he has done with the squad he has, if i was given that money i would have done the same if not better’
uuummmm so he is pretty much saying that everything is wrong at Manu then, that is pretty much 100% of the game, barring goalkeeping where lets face it de gea is the only reason why they have so many points.
