We didn't need him. We found his replacement a month before he left in Macheda.

Macheda went on to smash it in 5 different leagues though. Not the 4 that Ronaldo has stuck to in his comfort zone. Macheda is only 28 as well.

where did you spend the 80 million you got for him btw?

A yacht for the Glazers

I often think what if we didn't sell cantana to you.
I bet we would have won a few in a row.

If Mourinho wouldn't have left Chelsea you wouldn't have won any of those 5 titles you won.

iirc, our 3-0 battering of them lost him his job... Nani played a blinder?

OK. The other 4 then.

Nah like all tyrants he picked the wrong battle and lost. A little Portuguese narcissist doesn’t yield the same power as a Russian oligarch.

That same Portuguese narcissist had a funny habit of dominating a certain scottish narcissist repeatedly over the last decade of said Scottish Narcissist's career though.

Nope, Sir Alex retired when he realised Mourinho was coming back.

raised the bar and Fergie obliged just like had to other foreigners with new ideas, just takes him a season or two to adjust, beat him then Mourinho was quickly gone.

Tim Howard beat Fergie in that CL game but relevance to the PL claim in the OP?

wins Italian league cup and CL, again relevance to OP PL claim?

Knocks United out after farcical red card then admits best team lost, one final time Wally relevance to the OP claim?

The point is that Mourinho tormented Sir Alex for the last 10 years of his career and had Mourinho stayed in the PL, Sir Alex's legacy would have been forever ruined because he wouldn't have been able to compete with Mourinho. What happened to Wenger basically would have happened to Sir Alex.

Two dreadful decisions by referees/linesmen played a huge part both times Mourinho knocked SAF out of the CL.

And I’m sure SAF retiring and Jose coming back to the PL had no bearing on each other.

Mourinho thought he was good at mind games but SAF was the master that the self-chosen one tried to emulate.
