Didn't what? Think everything was fine and he would have turned it around? There were and are plenty on here who are still pining for him to return like an old lover.
We got to one CL final, and finished in the top 3 with the best team we've had since I was born, and he failed to get over the line in any competition with it. In fact we perpetually underachieved when it came to the crunch under him, CL run aside last year.
He bought some utter drivel in the transfer market as well so I dont believe giving him the chance to build a better team with new players would have worked that well. Most of the players in our best team were here before he arrived. He coached them really well, yes, but he didn't buy them or pick them himself.
You honestly think he didn’t want better players than we eventually bought? let’s see all the great players Mourinho buys. Maybe look above them for the real reason. It’s easy to say they were the best team in your lifetime in hindsight and if the best players were here before he got here why weren’t we doing it before? he was a great manager, passionate, aggressive and played on the front foot who eventually got disillusioned with the people above and their lack of interest of sporting success.
