It took Rafa 5 years to spend what Mourinho spent over those initial two seasons, he spent even less than that in that time, so that's why it took that long to mount a challenge. United and Chelsea both spent significantly more than us at that time and it showed. And while he took those 5 years, Chelsea continued to spend big to compound what quality they already had. It's why Chelsea were able to tempt Gerrard, it's why they got Torres.
Comparing the two net spends and and surmising that Rafa had it all to do is hardly a massive leap or whatever either. There's no reason why Rafa "should" have won the title in that time, when you consider how much his competitors were spending. He mounted a challenge and it took a few years to do so, he put us back on the map in the CL too, while spending significantly less than everyone else and building a credible side.
I was hardly Rafa's biggest fan in the end, but you lack so much perspective on things it's unreal. Jose would have cried about the lack of money, in fact he would never have come here for that reason and he'd have poisoned the club in the process, because he's fucking toxic.
It irks posters on here that you repeatedly slag down people related to this club, yet seem happy to suck off total fucking twats like Mourinho. He's a fucking United manager Pat, do you not comprehend why you get this United love jibe thrown at you?
I swear somewhere along the line you thought it would be cool to adopt this contrary mantra. It's retarded.
