Yes it is all about spending money and it isnt his fault. He has shown balls benching Pogba our club record signing, Martial a very expensive teenage signing and Shaw a huge fee for a teenage full back? The other side of the coin is he has so far failed to get them to perform for him and bring the best out of them. Whether that is the players attititude or his man management is another thing altogether.
Also in two years he has spent £300m lets not forget on seven players. Two have already left the club, one in Lindelof hasnt improved the side (I never wanted him personally, thought he was bang average when we signed him, early days but I dont see him improving enough....another that will be off within two years in my opinion). Then there is Pogba who we all know has all the ability in the world, gets as he says overly slated as he has hardly been bad for us but why is he not performing consitantly for us....like he did for Juve and France for example? Bailly very raw but ver talented defender, one very promising season one very dissappointing one, like Pogba seems to be struggling with the manager from what we read. Looking at his signings, arguably the only ones that have been consistantly successful so far are the three players he has worked with before.
I am not saying Mourinho isnt a good manager, he obviously is. The two things for me is I am not sure he is a great one anymore like he was. More importantly I am just not sure he is the right personality or style of manager for the club long term which is a fear many seemed to have before we appointed him. I was one of those, but he was the best manager available and a move we had to make. I do hope he is backed, I do hope we make another three possibly four signings and he gets the majority of the players he wants. That way there are no excuses if he fails...not that I want him to, I want us to succeed and to be playing entertaining football. It is just opinion but the majority of the signings that he has made, the number of signings (which as you allude to may not be his fault), the keeping of players that should be out of the door (there are a lot for him to get rid of, but keeping Fellaini for example....meh), his falling out with players, the style of football we are playing, the public criticising of individual players.......there are more worrying signs than positive ones for me over the last twelve months that implosion is more likely than trophies over the next 12 months
