You have completely ignored so many counter points
• Madrid hadn't went past the last 16 on the CL for 5 years pre Mourinho
• He was not a big spender at Inter, nor did he sign many superstars
• If money was everything he wound never have won back to back European trophies with Porto
• If I was weighing up my next managerial move in 2010 it would certainly not have been to take on this Barca side. You keep talking about the fact that Barca won 3 title in a row. So what? Liverpool dominated English football for 15 years, Utd likewise. Celtic and Rangers won 9 leagues in a row - the three year cycle theory is nonsense
• La Liga - training matches? Did you watch the Europa League last night?
and do many more
Plus you completely disregard the pressure that managing clubs like Inter and Madrid carry - where there is expectation to win everything and your every move is scrutinised to the nth degree - hence the reason both Madrid and Inter were the most notorious clubs in Europe for rotating managers - funny how that practice changed upon Mourinho's arrival.
Madrid had spent a lot during the galacticos era CL in 2000 and 2002 under perex asn't it .. spent everything and got results. THen cycle continues
spending moves to england. Oh look heaps of CL in england. Now perez is back in charge .. huge spending oh low and behold results come back .. none so blind as those that do not see Joe.
That answers the question as why he moved to Real Madrid. He obvously like I do saw they were the team spending to win the CL and there squad with his five additions were going to win. Barca will not win 4 or 5 leagues. Hes not going to Barca is he so Madrid were the obvious choice
He did not sign many superstars at Inter... Lucio, Sneider, Eto, were superstars as far as I am aware ...Diego is being a little bit sneaky with his analysis. Milito is a Argentine international. Rafa wanted him. With a very good scoring record. 8 goals the year after. Was he on the bench, injured etc. And Motta an international. THe ind of player mouriho loves. He was allowed to get these 5 players in 1 window considering Inter were winning the league any way and had huge squad of older, high earning players. Hardly responsible fiscal business. It was about winning the CL that year. Unprecedented backing. If we got those players in 1 season in 2009 would we have one the league. If this is genius then let me manage with the advantage he enjoys
THe fact that Atletico, Bilbao and Valencia play good football and are evenly matched does not mean they are a match for Madrid and Barca. Look at their squads and average that over a season.
Porto won the Uefa cup... and . Then they won the CL this is the basis for Mourinho outstanding backing after this point. They beat a great Depor team and a great Monaco team... ok. Porto beat a Bayern munich team in 86 that were difficult, what was the managers name again.
Anything else
