Of course he is taking a dig at Ed. And why shouldn't he? For me, the point is clear: football has changed. The days of Sir Alex having full and complete complete are gone. The days of managers being the masters are gone. It's the social media world now. The super star footballer is king. He is no longer worth 10 million pounds. He is now worth 200 million pounds and his brand is powerful. We can hate Jose all he wants but we will do well to restructure the club. If a manager cannot have absolute authority to discipline, then there should be a club structure that helps to keep the checks and balances. How is this hard to understand?
In fairness, this just sounds like a bunch of bs based on nothing more than a personal opinion. Historically, Mourinho has had major dressing room and management issues at most of the clubs he's been involved with, this goes back to the days of Sir Alex having full control as well. Chelsea, Real Madrid, Chelsea again and finally at Manchester United. In the past 15 years he's been at 5 clubs, only club he hasn't had major issues with in that time was inter, and we're supposed to believe that this marks the end of managers being in full control with absolute authority ?
In the glorious words of Snoop Dog, Bitch please. We gave Mourinho full authority, problem wasn't lack of authority but what he did with his authority. Nothing major has changed, Mourinho is Mourinho. He'll take control of another club and within 3 seasons he'll be gone after yet another issue with the players.
Transfer fees have increased exponentially, mostly due to increased revenues.
Why hasn't Klopp had any major issues restructuring Liverpool, or Poch, Guardiola ? Yet the one manager consistently getting sacked because he's an miserable cnut, getting sacked once more because he's a cnut, is supposed to mark a major shift in power meaning that we'll struggle to change anything in the future.
