Mourinho's current stock doesn't deserve to be so high. He hasn't covered himself in glory this season from a man management or tactical perspective. He leaves Madrid having failed to fulfil his brief - it's indisputable.The difference is that Chelsea and City both sacked their previous managers so clearly they feel the person they bring in will be BETTER. Fergie on the other hand, was not sacked, he retired, and with the greatest respect to Moyes we are not getting someone BETTER, as the person we had previously was the best.
City is questionable, but for Chelsea, getting Jose back is not a transition or a negative, it is a big boost to them and I expect them to be favourites for next year.
As I said above - Chelsea's squad needs a lot of work IMO, and he PL is stronger this time than when he last started here. Last time Chelsea faced a viable challenger for the title under Mourinho (us in 06/07), we saw them off.
Mourinho is a very good manager, and a winner, but his Special One persona is hugely overstated.
