‪Mourinho’s right wing, fascist-like style of demanding that his players sweat blood

... for him without question is not compatible with this liberal generation of players. ‬


Are Mourinho’s methods and ideas out of sync with this generation of players?

Will we ever see a Mourinho side of the ilk of his Chelsea 2005 or Inter 2010 teams again or are those days consigned to history?

I think he is still a good manager in many respects but I think he’s lost the edge that once made him great.

Not unless he invades Poland.

There are a few things that earned Mourinho a reputation as one of the finest managers in world football. 

The first, and arguably most important, was charisma. Zlatan, during their time together at Inter Milan, described someone as someone he "was basically willing to die for". Mourinho's ability to inspire his players to go beyond their personal limits was a huge reason for his success. Most notably, the 2010 semi final vs Barcelona. Mourinho was able to sell his players a dream and they always bought it. At Porto, he turned a club which operated on a minute budget in comparison to European giants into not only the most successful team in Portugal, but also in Europe. 

However, that has changed. Mourinho has turned slightly sour over the years. He basically creates a siege mentality everywhere he goes and that will inevitably wear an individual down. He has lost a lot of his magical charisma. His players are no longer completely in love with him. The meltdowns in Madrid, Chelsea and potentially United are all evidence of this. He's become old and is not entirely what he once was.

That being said, he's still got some excellent strengths. Defensively, his teams are so well coached. His home record is always impeccable. He generally makes great signings and he actually has a plan encompassing every aspect of his team which is needed to win the league and potentially the CL. 

I've always liked Mourinho, despite his faults. He's got balls, unlike Wenger and other managers.

Well I'm not stupid enough to try to pass off the Community Shield as a trophy win.

Reactionary Hyperbolic thread is hyperbolic.
Perhaps on seasons end a topic like this may be discussed without such rhetoric.
