He is not shit manager, he is just past his best. You could even argue, results looking, he was not that bad.
That said, for a manager who made 15 a year, his last season was pathetic. He gave up, went in full destruction mode and looked like he wanted out. He got enourmous amount of money, except last summer and he was so toxic that we had one of biggest manager bounce in football history with Ole after he left.
People even started looking somewhat positevelly at LVG time which is nonsense like Ole now makes him look relatively good. He failed and there was no long term plan behind his tenure like Ed doesn't have one now. Me, me, me.... and United after that distant second.
While I agree with a lot of what you posted about Mourinho, I disagree that he failed. I think he was average and I think a whole lot of that had to do with multiple factors beyond him. I think more things will be revealed in the coming months that will provide us with better insights into what actually went down. The bits about him becoming toxic and throwing tantrums are absolutely spot on in my opinion.
