He focussed on I dint have this, I dint have that, instead what he should have done is to have a positive attitude and self introspect what he needed to do with the players he already had and get absolute best out of them.Look at the spirit of his comments (for those saying he spent 400 million).
He's saying Klopp's team now contains maybe 1 or 2 players he inherited.
He also said Guardiola bought Bravo, saw that it didn't work after one season, then bought Ederson. That's what he meant by those two being backed more. It's not a case of spending money, it's a case of requesting a transfer and getting it quickly (which we seem to dither on).
Nothing wrong with being Jose In/Out and loving Man Utd. The two aren't mutually exclusive.
However, to say that all of our problems are down to his ego is downright obtuse. Yeah, Ole has won 7 games, and i hope he wins 700 more, but he hasn't had to deal with the transfers part yet (requests vs incomings/outgoings)
Jose is a chequebook manager. In some cases he has worked with what he has but for most of his career he's been a chequebook manager, similar to Pep. When you get him, you need to get him every player he wants. Is this the utd way? No, but that was the board's decision wasn't it?
To compare what Jose is saying.
Mendy got injured last year, Pep bought a left back the next day.
Jose wanted Perisic, we dithered for 2 seasons and haggled over 5 million.
He is whining about not getting 3 players at united, but instead he got 10 of those players he wanted and could not get the best out of 9 of them, with only exception of ibrahimovic.
The top class talents he inherited, he took them sideways or backwards. Getting those 3 or 4 players wouldn't have changed the fortune of 9 others he was misusing with his poor tactics and neither of this club.
Very important players snubbed him and joined other projects with his reputation of playing a certain style all the time, while his man management caused more damage than improve things and build relationships with his players.
Sir alex ruled with iron fists as well but he took players along with him and buy into his methods. Lvg and Jose didn't realize this as their career progressed and are ultimately paying the price.
