Well at least the Liverpool supporters can rest assured that the result or the table don't matter since Liverpool won the league last week.
Scored by the best 9 in the world.
Umm, no.
When did Mourinho win League titles with a small team?
I think someone made that post, but for the life of me, I can't imagine anyone saying that.
He had easily the best/most expensive portugese team, won the league.
He had easily the best/most expensive english team, won the league.
He had easily the best/most expensive spanish team, won the league.
It's bad enough someone suggested it, but people actually latched onto it. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. And just to add to what you said, Porto accused (and I think found guilty) of nonsense with domestic referees at the time. And I'll add this:
Had easily the best italian team when other teams were suffering from Calciopoli, won the league.
Chelsea were small club before Mou
Yet they were in the CL Semis as already noted and also had Abramovich's money which they used to outspend every other team.
Doesn't matter, basketball is more individualistic sport.
It does matter, but if it didn't then it's a stupid analogy to even bring it up. You trying to have it both ways and you can't.
Not really. Guardiola coached amazing/best teams only. Jackson coached amazing/best teams only. That is where the comparison is.
Yeah, and Guardiola has delivered the following in 9 seasons:
-7 league titles
-4.5 cups
-2 CLs
That's an amazing track record. I'll also question how "amazing" City is relative to the rest of the league. People can moan about how much City has spent, but Guardiola's fingerprints are all over a lot of players and it's not like all that money was well spent. On top of that he's also had his only good LB available for 13 starts out of 58 possible league matches and thus had to rely on the likes of Fabian Delph, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Aymeric Laporte.
Guardiola inherited Barca team that won CL 2 yrs prior with recent Ballon Dor winner and upcoming Messi. And half the Spanish NT that destroyed international football. Only won 2 CL titles, but everyone started romanticizing his tiki-taka style.
Jumps ship to Bayern the recent Treble winners. Fails to win CL even after buying Lewandowski, but dominates 1 team league.
As the team is aging and declining, he jumps to Man City where he gets the financial backing to spend country's GDP. Under-performed badly in first season, seemingly conquered England in year 2 and is bottling it in year 3.
Great manager, but I am more impressed with what Pochettino, Conte and Klopp have done in recent seasons. Stylistically he is probably the best, but I still like Klopp's style of play better.
Yeah, and Trump is a self-made man who at most only ever got 1 million from his father and Sarah Palin can see Russia from her house.
Managers don't win Championships ...big wages do ....
Managers alone don't, but a manager can have as big if not more an influence than big wages.
I was mostly being sarcastic and also seemed like a good time to post a smug Mourinho face
His domestic titles certainly weren’t underdog stories, but his CL titles were solid. Granted still not small club winning the league style.
I wouldn't call his CL title with Inter solid.
Most Liverpool fans I have seen online are doing the same.
Well about a week or so back they weren't doing the same here. They were pretty much saying Liverpool winning the league was done and dusted with half the season to play.
