Mourinho stopped the rot that LvG had set in. Unfortunately, he's lost the dressing room in the process. The team simply aren't buying his philosophy and there's no indication that they will.
It's what happens sometimes.
Fergie was a rare manager who could
- Change a team's fortunes
- Then lead them on to success.
Not everyone can.
Thanks for achieving the first part, Jose. You're still a top coach, but you've exhausted your goodwill capital getting us this far. Time to go. Both you and United will be better off if you do.
