So 2nd place in the league and the club's first ever CL final wasn't enough? Ridiculous.
Thank you! I thought I was going crazy... for ****s sake he lead Chelsea to the CL final for the first time and Chelsea were more of a thread to United for the league than they were last season under Mourinho... now you think getting all the way to the CL final is nothing then wake up! If you think it's easy then that means Mourinho is useless... if you think Grant did nothing then Mourinho is useless again cause he was holding the team back...
It's utterly ridiculous to say he did nothing! Of course he's not in the same league as Mourinho and of course I don't think in 5 years you'll be able to look back at what he's achieved in awe but saying he has done nothing... well... OK... that's just blatantly biased.

It's on the same basis that Mancini has won 3 league titles, making the Final of the Coppa 3 times - winning twice. Yet he's labbeled as a bad manager.
He has won 2 league titles and he was gifted one... come on Kurt, not even the greatest Mancini fan would credit that title to him... and he won one with no competition and this season he almost lost it... his team has been eliminated at the last 16 phase of the CL for two consecutive seasons... in my view he is a mediocre coach but still I cannot say he has done nothing cause it is stupid...
