But the fact he did it when it was accused all he has done is win with money is exactly my point.
I was agreeing with you, sort of. The Mourinho at Porto was a different and far more likeable character than the bitter, twisted individual we see today. That's why I don't think he could take over a club in Porto's situation now and do what he did then. Could be argued therefore that it's the money that has corrupted him.
If you compare him to Ranieri, in terms of honours and trophies there is no contest but, in terms of class and humility, there is only one winner. Unfortunately these are qualities that are no longer lauded in top level football. This is one of the reasons that, deep down, I don't want Big Dave to get the job, I'd hate to see hit contaminate him.
