But did JM really have overall control at the bridge? this is the view of the outsider ( as you will probably see things about united that i dont see through my united tinted glasses) there were numerous buys that didnt look like JM players and appeared to be Roman buys. SAF was given total control from the very begining......even when it looked like patience was running thin. United handled the post SAF era absolutely horrendously that is a fact but it does seem that the lessons have been learned and they are looking for stability again. One thing i have noticed about JM is the way he defelcts away from huis players in much the same way that SAF did, he can rub people up the wrong way as anyone can (and SAF certainly did). I really only came here as i am interested in other fans thoughts on various football matters and i had to comment with the slating that JM was getting.......remember what the man brought you holy sh*t were you one hard team to beat with him in charge. I absolutely hated playing you as we knew we were in for one tough 90 minutes. That said you have a very good manager in Conte.

Cant understand the hatred on here for a guy that bought you so much success, personally i think that Mourhino has always wanted a club where he is the man with total control (pretty much like SAF) as that is the way things should be.....if a club appoints a manager then they should have complete trust in him. From outside looking in it looks like Roman pulled the strings at Chelsea as does Perez at RM. I dont think that the rumours in the press that we are to offer JM an immediate 10 year contract to replace his current three year deal are correct and if anyone believes everything that is printed then they need their head testing. They will be privy to how JM manages the day to day running of the club, and this on top of the recent results will be what they see......his signings have been the right signings and the club needed a complete overhaul. JM is building something at United which is clear to see, and for me he was the ONLY man for the job.
