It's always important to hold a balanced view.
Mourinho's first season went really well, arguably. We had to fix the dogshit squad that we were left with from Van Gaal era and he set about doing that.
Pogba is still here, Zlatan did the job in that first season and Mkhitaryan was seen as a good signing but the guy literally fell off a cliff.
Second season, Lukaku was brought in. People seem to forget he was and is a top class forward when he's not packing on weight as if he's contending for Fatman of the week challenge.
I know people complained about Young, but in all honesty he still offered more than Shaw does going forward(he holds his fecking width at least ffs). In such a defensive team, it was necessary.
We finished 2nd with 81 points, and we probably could have mounted a title challenge if City weren't so damn good. CL was terrible though. Time and time again, players looked disinterested.
Then third season was a shambles. No signings of value, no real understanding of what we were doing on the pitch. Mourinho immediately criticizing the board and everything in between. He even said himself afterwards in a roundabout way that he'd basically stopped caring. I think the loss of Zlatan and Rui Faria meant the support he had dwindled significantly.
If he got what he wanted player wise, we'd probably still be sitting here with Maguire for 20m less and idk who else.
But it's done now, and now we have Ole. But it still bewilders me that our managers constantly need to perform this balancing act of "keeping players happy" in order for them to play well. It's ludicrous, actually that it seems players, who are paid to perform their duties, extravagantly so, have to be mollycoddled or they won't perform. But it seems that Ole is trying to shift the players in the club and bring in players who will perform irrespective, so the outcome in the end, I guess was a good one.
