He brought in about 55 players for 20 million. It's a different era now.
It was well spent but times have changed, he's already spent more than that on one player.
If he can win the PL and CL with us with a small budget obviously everybody will be happy, but I can't see it.
Over their careers Mourinho by a country mile.
Pochettino not yet shown he can either handle or identity the kind of players a squad needs to win a title.
Mourinho may not be the manager he was but he has shown he knows what is needed.

Of course, times change. It's not really my point to wave a flag for Jose in this context of this thread as I think there's too many mitigating factors for a meaningful comparison between his track record & Poch's.
I just think that if you take it as a moment in time, it's the most credibly laudable achievement mentioned so far.
You guys have to harp back 15+ years.
That’s also roughly the time Nottingham Forest and Brian Clough went from kings of England and Europe to being relegated. People have a shelf life, decline and inevitably get overtaken. It’s okay to admit this.

I've already said: "I think there's too many mitigating factors for a meaningful comparison between his track record & Poch's."
As I've also already said in the very post you LOL'd at: "Arguably the most ringing endorsement of either manager given the premise of this thread."
What does that actually mean?
I wonder how much the Leicester City team cost ?
Mahrez for 400k
That's what Levy will be saying but that's a one off.
And we are behind Sheff U, Leicester and Wolves.
What's that axiom about when the facts change sensible people change their mind? Guess what with even more facts to go on your at liberty to change it again. One of the most rank things about the utterly rank last five years is how every position must be clung to in the face of all logic, and become a defacto religious belief. Its sickening and dangerous.
The relentless faith Poch had in Foyth makes me have doubts about his judgement on players.
He even perpetuated the whole Foyth right back fallacy.
