Money makes Mourinho's life tough
Jose Mourinho
Many managers would swap with Mourinho
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho claimed his job is the hardest in football because of the seemingly unlimited transfer funds at his disposal.
Since last summer, Mourinho has spent over £100m, but he moaned: "Buying players for Chelsea is the hardest job in the Premier League.
"We want big players from good teams and they don't want to sell. They ask for crazy money, it's very difficult.
"At a smaller club, I could buy six players for £20m - that's easier."
It is unlikely Mourinho will find many sympathisers, especially just weeks after the Blues landed Shaun Wright-Phillips for £21m.
And Stamford Bridge could soon be welcoming Lyon midfielder Michael Essien if a reported £21m deal can be concluded.
Certainly, no other club in the game can match Chelsea's financial muscle - courtesy of chairman Roman Abramovich.
But Mourinho said: "You think it's easy buying a goalkeeper or a central defender or a midfielder?
"Where can I buy the players that are better than what I already have?
"For the big teams it is more difficult to choose players because you might buy a player that doesn't improve you."
