I'm missing the fundamental point?Mate, you're missing the fundamental point here. When Jose signed there was a group of fans that said he will be meltdown in 3 years. That's his curse.
There was another that said, if the clubs executive pisses him off and undermines his expertise and authority with the players, then yes, he will. But that requires a party other than Jose Mourinho acting a certain way.
The first opinion is like superstition. It's like believing Friday the 13th is a bad luck day because you stepped in dog shit on those days, while walking through the city on your phone.
But maybe if you watched where you stepped, you might not have shit smeared all over yourself.
Jose Mourinho's difficult points were steaming piles of shit with big flashing warning signs a block away. Yet the club stepped right onto each and everyone of them. And now we're mad they were there in the first place? Then the idiot shouldn't have hired him.
Its not a curse. Its the logical conclusion of his methods. He's a short-term manager and always has been. He's never stayed at a club longer than 2 or 3 years and he probably never will.
You can keep making excuses for Mourinho all you like but you surely have to see that when it happens over and over, in different environments, he's the common denominator.
