You're not wrong, but I think you've missed my point a bit. I'm not saying he needs full control, this isn't the 90s anymore. But he's got close to none. He has seemingly no say on transfers. He has no say on where they play preseason. He has no say on who's contract gets extended. He has a block on him with what he can say at times.

Chelsea, Inter, and Real Madrid all gave him some control. They all adapted to him and were supportive. That was the undoing in the end but it always brought some success initially. He's shackled at United because they have an MO based on public perception and they're trying to limit Mourinho's ability to damage it.

Can anyone legitimately claim he has zero influence on signings? Can anyone imagine Mou agreeing to a contract at a club where that was the case even? He may have had to accept decisions would be ultimately made by committee regardless of his say but again, I think this is how most clubs are run

I always say this about Mourinho, he started out as an interpreter which is a media job and few are the puta jefe in the press room like he is. So I don't buy the claims that he has gotten nothing that he has wanted or been regularly blocked. I do believe however he is not getting everything he wants but the tarnish is long gone from his old successes - just as his tired formula has.

Plus, just as the Glazers didn't go into the agreement blindly neither did Mou if he had to cede a degree of control he is used to having in order to get the job he coveted. In the end however, most of the failures that Jose is facing now are predominantly his own doing. He sets the tone, dictates the lineups & tactics and attempts to foster harmony in the squad. Can't blame the Glazers or board for things that was up to no one but him. Board didn't throw players under the bus like he has and board didn't tell him to stick to his ridiculously antiquated tactics.

I know all fans get emotional about their teams and no more so than when things arn't going as expected but fuck me Ragcafe is something else, if this is how they react then god help them if they go through a real prolonged period with no success. They really are a bunch of self absorbed needy fuckers,

Everything’s relative, mate. Like we’re enjoying watching their demise more than they ever enjoyed watching ours. Ain’t payback a woman.
