Even as a huge critic of Mourinho, if you look at his first two seasons in isolation I think he did a decent job. Got us back in the CL and consolidated it with a 2nd place finish, just in terms of those results. However the poor football, constant negativity and his past showed the club should have been more wary.
We went wrong by over indulging him. Mourinho's time was up at the end of his second season, everything was spiraling out of control and the Seville loss was the big bust. The club should've been planning for his departure when they instead chose to extend his contract. They should've been looking forward to the next few years, when they indulged him by getting someone like Sanchez. But we let him throw away the 2 years before, by asking him to do something that he wasn't capable of and it seemed not really interested in.
Having a the right manager for the right moment is more important than having one for life. We tried to make a good one night stand, into a life partner.
