Mourinho is already a better tactician. Winning the CL with Porto and then Inter is a bigger accomplishment than anything Ferguson has done. When he wins a league title with Real and then another CL with yet another club, it should be fairly obvious.
I guess turning an average football team into the most successful club in England isn't enough.

He might do it. He strives when he doesn't have a star packed team, which he can shape the way he wants to. Neither Porto nor Inter had more star players than this United. Chelsea and Real on the other hand, had squads full of stars.
Inter's squad is much much stronger than United's even today.

No he didn't you dumb bitch.
:lol:

Mourinho's definitely better than Ferguson imo. I even rate Lippi above the Ferg, but I admit i may be biased there.

Alen's post about Inter couldn't have been said better and it shows a lot about Mou's abilities. Guy's a legend already.

Mourinho also managed the richest club in England and then managed the richest club in Italy. I could've won the Serie A with Inter in the time of 08-10.
Ferguson > Mourinho, maybe in 10 years time Mourinho will become better (which I think he will) but for now Fergie is better and more successful.
:shifty:

Merda wasn't the richest club in Italy , not even when Mou coached them :)

He had that time because he was constantly successful. When he first won the league, that was the first league United won since 26 years.
It took him 7 years to win the title, although he had more minor success with two domestic cups and the Cup Winners' Cup. He wasn't constantly successful, and remember, he was a game away from being sacked in 1990. That's what I mean about time. It's not a completely different situation to what a current Juventus coach would find themselves in.

Of course he revamped the youth system at Man Utd, so he had a direct hand and oversaw who was coming through. As for his golden generation, did he create them or was he lucky that a generation of Beckham, Giggs, Scholes, Butt, Nevilles came through at the same time? What is the difference between doing it now? Is it just that he has stronger players in place now, no openings? If Gibson, Welbeck, Evans and Cleverley were put into the same position would they be moulded into world class players? Personally I think it's a bit of both. The rest is history, if you have a solid base, bred success, the same coach for 25 years and no off field problems you can create a great dynasty. But you can also mess it up. Ferguson's greatets achievement, in my opinion, wasn't winning title after title in a relatively weak Premier League, even if he did raise the bar. It was replacing that successful team, eventually, in response to Arsenal and then Chelsea.

Of course you'll say this after they won the CL. But what did you think about them before last season? Did you consider them world class stars (except Eto'o)?
Milito was a 30 year old who came from Genoa, Sneijder was an ex-Ajax player who came directly from Real's bench. Cambiasso was never respected outside Italy. Zanetti was a 37 year old. Pandev and Thiago Motta were nobodies, while Lucio was another +30 year old who Bayern fans were even happy they got rid of. Samuel is a great defender but was always in the shadow of many other defenders. Only Maicon was the best in his position but everyone was jerking on Dani Alves.
No, Inter's team wasn't star packed one and most of them made a name for themselves only AFTER last year's CL.
Lucio was one of the best defenders in Germany, a defender with almost 100 caps for the greatest national team ever.
Samuel was a great Serie A defender, but his Real Madrid times tarnish his image as a classy defender, he was class with Roma and class with Inter but he was never fit with Inter and luckily he was fit under Mou.
Pandev wasn't a nobody, he was one of the best foreign players in Serie A
Sneijder was a class act, it's not like Mourinho made him the player he is now, he was class with Real Madrid but hey, being good is not enough to guarantee you to play with Real, just look at Robben.

You're saying it in a way that Inter players were average and Mourinho made them top class, which is total bullshit.
If Pandev and Motta were nobodies I would like to think about Carrick, Fletcher, Brown, O'Shea and co.

And oh if you're going by that way.
Who was Vidic before he joined United, a defender playing in Russian league and was average in his first 6 months at his new club?
And who was Hernandez, someone who a year ago thought about quitting football.
And Giggs, a 37 year old, who's still performing well better than some 27 year olds.
And the fuck is Fletcher? From a player who was wanted out by the fans to one of the best midfielders in the league.

Inter squad shits on United's.

Would any other manager hvae given the chance for these youngsters to play regularly? Would any manager watch the likes of Kanchelskis, Hughes, Bruce (a year later Cantona) leave without replacing them with big names?

It took him 7 years, of course it will take him 7 years, you can't transform an average team into a class one in 1 or 2 seasons, it takes time.

It's a shame others aren't given at least a couple of seasons, but directors and indeed fans are ultra impatient now, too many teams trying to fit into one winners slot.
