Change the record - Mancini got what he was given and now he must deliver with the resources he has just as he did last season. A world class manager would go out and win the league again this season with the squad Mancini has got and progress through our group in the CL.
And more importantly we won the league last season with the best defensive record in the league. Makes your argument almost totally invalid.
i'll let a famous world class manager's answer to you
a world class manager said:
"It's all about omelettes and eggs,"
"No eggs, no omelette. And it depends on the quality of the eggs.
"In the supermarket, you have eggs class one, class two, class three. Some are more expensive than others and some give you better omelettes. So when the class one eggs are in Waitrose and you cannot go there you have a problem."
Mourinho was unemployed within two weeks of giving that quote.
You don't bite the hand that feeds you, and you work with the resources your boss, the guy paying you that fat salary so you can keep yachts in Sardinia, gives you. You don't go running your mouth off about how hard it is to do your job when you're one of the most heavily backed managers
ever in financial terms.
I think you've forgotten how ignominious Mancini's exit from Inter was. Ultimately if you try and fight the powers that be as a football manager, the powers that be will win. Here, the Clash can maybe reinforce the point too.

EDIT:
And a secondary note on that season - Mourinho was sacked and yet Chelsea got to the CL final, the League Cup final, and finished three points behind United, and were level with them on points going into the last two games of the season.
