JOSE MOURINHO : FLIMFLAM MAN PAR EXCELLENCE !

Does Jose Mourinho ever stop whingeing and whining ?

Whenever his teams fail to win, if it isn't 'bad luck', it's mistakes by referees, simple bad refereeing, that he hasn't been given the money to buy enough, or better, players and, most recently that the players he does have are tired !

This man has mostly worked at clubs with oodles of money to splash around and his current team, Manchester United, are no exception. He has brought in several expensive players, most of whom have failed to shine, while his most promising talent comes from Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard, neither of whom cost a penny. Basically, what Mourinho wants is to be able to keep splashing out on expensive foreign 'talent' until he gets it right and, until he does, he'll carry on trotting out every excuse under the sun as to why his team aren't performing as well as he'd like.

To be claiming that some of his players are tired is just about as ridiculous as it gets. These are super-fit young men for whom running around for 90 minutes every now and then is no problem. Most other teams manage perfectly well with smaller squads and yet we hear nothing about tired players from elsewhere. In fact, the best players thrive on turning out as often as they can.

Mourinho may or may not be any good as a real manager and it would be interesting to see what he'd do with a team like Stoke City at the moment. Could he motivate the players without having the 'big bucks' behind him, or would he just blame every defeat on those same excuses as he's using now ? Teams win by being motivated and well managed and, sometimes, they don't win and do suffer from refereeing mistakes, but it's nowhere near as often as Mourinho would have us believe.

Mourinho is a 'flimflam' artist, a con-man who tries to hide his inadequacies under a mountain of waffle. Don't be conned.
