Pretty much.We seem to have such higher standards when judging other clubs/managers than we do United...

Madness imo. Why would one of the all-time great managers need to be shopping around for compensation funds from fecking Spurs? He could instead take jobs with the intent of winning honours, increasing his salary and potential future salaries at other, bigger clubs through rehabilitating his image. I'm sure that's what he hopes for. The idea that Jose set out to pocket £20m by deliberately torching the place is insaneI still think Jose took this job solely for the dismissal compensation. I don't feel that way about United - I think he genuinely felt the board would 100% back him and he'd win some honours, here. At Spurs, he has a board renowned for being miserly with transfer funds. I think he took this job solely with the intention of being fired ASAP.

He just named Chelsea, Arsenal, Everton, Sheffield and Wolves as Spurs top 4 rivals.
He's not bitter at all though....
Sheffield and Wolves better placed than United after spending £200m. Has Ole transformed us into Cardiff? This is a joke.Not bitter, he's basically being truthful if you take away Arsenal and Wolves. The others are all better placed than us to rival him.
He looks like a smirking tennis ball now.

But he left them in, so he's having a dig.

That is an absolutely ridiculous suggestion.

It's quite an extreme suggestion that I don't agree with but I think you'll be surprised with how disengaged he is these days. Been there, done that, reset his priorities and money is now a dominant driver in a way it wasn't before

Mourinho knew what he was doing with that comment. He basically saying we have become a joke club that is lead by a joke manager.
You're both posters who write a lot stuff that I agree with... but this is I really don't.
He's taken the Spuds job as he wants to be the guy who finally wins a trophy with them - no doubt. He wants that, and you can tell with some of the quotes from Spuds players about trophies that he's talking to them a lot about winning trophies.
Winning a trophy with Spuds is like an easy(ish) way to reclaim some of his legendary status.
He also gets to work with Kane, Alli, Son, Dier etc who are all very much 'Mourinho players'.
If he can get them going and build some momentum, he'll be a good match for Spurs imo.

He knows people are lapping it up.Not bitter, he's basically being truthful if you take away Arsenal and Wolves. The others are all better placed than us to rival him.

Actually he has a board renowned for funding around £1 billion of infrastructure (new stadium complex and training centre) ... and doing so partly by restricting transfer and wages spending for several years.
But since the stadium has been finished the club has invested significantly more in the playing squad - witness Lo Celso, Ndombele, Bergwijn, Sessegnon, Fernandes, Clarke.

Doubt it. It leaves visible marks all over the head.He's had a hair transplant I bet.
Cutting your hair like this can be a sign of some deeper issue.
Don't think he should have taken this job. Won't end well.
Needs a sabbatical.
That's just over £100 million spent in 2 years, hardly groundbreaking investment for a recognized top-four PL club is it? A large percentage of that total would have been covered by sponsorships, TV deals, and commercial enterprises anyway.
The stadium has barely had an impact, if at all.

Of course you do...Do you think he resembles a tennis ball?
I actually don't blame him for having a dig, to be honest.
Congrats on your forum award. Just spotted it. Couldn't have gone to a more deserving candidate.Sheffield and Wolves better placed than United after spending £200m. Has Ole transformed us into Cardiff? This is a joke.
Mourinho knew what he was doing with that comment. He basically saying we have become a joke club that is lead by a joke manager. If we had Pochettino, Tuchel, Nagelsman and some other top coaches, I m sure Mourinho will mention us
