I don't know what's happened to Mourinho, is it just age?
He seems so unhappy, miserable and jaded compared to the manager who arrived at Chelsea and effortlessly owned the league and everything around it. OK, yeah, he's always been a massive cunt and a whining hypocrite, but back then he was also witty and had a glint in his eye.
And he seems to have forgotten the basics of man management and how to inspire a team. At Chelsea he brought in his "trusted lieutenants" like Carvalho, and ensured the influential players in the dressing room - Lampard, Cech, Terry, Drogba - were fully signed up to the Cult of Mourinho.
Compare that to what he's done with Pogba - instead of making him his unofficial Number Two, and key dressing room leader, he's alienated his most expensive signing and world cup winning Captain, and created his own Fifth Column in the team, with its most influential player at the head of it.
That, allied with his bitching about transfers, slating most of his current squad, and playing some turgid football makes this seem increasingly untenable unless something pretty remarkable happens - if your players don't like you, they won't play for you.
