I'm struggling to understand why you are so hell bent on pushing a narrative that is simply not true, at all. If a manager falls out with one player while the rest are performing and the team is performing well, there's no issue whatsoever, the player in question will receive little or no support from the rest of the squad as he's the one behaving badly, the club will also be more than happy to sell him to prevent him from disrupting the rest of the squad. If the manager falls out with the majority of the squad and the team is not performing either (they usually go hand in hand..), then it's pretty clear that the reasons are slightly more complicated than "player power", and it's also pretty clear that the end result will always be that the manager has to go, no club no matter what structure they have is going to replace the majority of the squad.
Ancelotti is a great manager, but he was the wrong choice after someone like Guardiola, the Bayern players were used to a certain approach and Ancelotti was the exact opposite. Had nothing to do with him being a gentleman, his methods simply didn't work. He didn't fall out with one player, two players, he fell out with the squad over training methods and his approach to matches. Guardiola has had issues with individual players, never an entire squad, that's the major difference. How many Barcelona players were against the departure of Zlatan, Etoo, how many City players were going up against Guardiola to defend Yaya Toure ? Comparing this to Mourinho's history is an insult.
Furthermore, the desire to rewrite history in order to defend Mourinho is borderline absurd. You're arguing for a model that Mourinho dislikes, he was strongly against a DOF at Manchester United and he had a power struggle with Valdano at Real Madrid which resulted in the latter getting sacked, with Perez stating the following "The experience of the season just ended has shown the need for new organisation at the club, giving autonomy to our coach". Yet you expect us to jump on your claim that it's our structure that's the problem ? if we had a DOF during Mourinho's 2,5 seasons he would've been in a power struggle with the poor bugger from day one over which players to sign and which players to get rid of.
Like the majority i do agree that we should restructure the club and opt for a director of football, but pretending that our current structure, the same that Fergie worked with, is the major issue is insane.
