One season of success with Porto and suddenly, well the world's gone mad I tell ye, mad, mad, mad.
He was never going to replicate Mourinho because he hadn't had the club management Mourinho had. Nevermind achieving success THEN bettering it.
AVB believed/s his own hype. He should have stayed at Porto for at least another year, seen if he could repeat either the title or UEFA Cup victory before even thinking of moving on.
Mourinho is one of a kind. A thoroughly repugnant a-hole of a human being but someone who just 'gets' football, and unsurprisingly can relate to and with footballers. You don't win the number of league titles and CL with the number of different clubs in the range of countries, money or not, if there's not 'something' about you.
I'm glad we didn't get him or be the club where he attempts to repair a paper thin (anyway) reputation and get his 'career' (back) on track. Levy is a tough task master. But I wouldn't say 'no' to having someone like him at Anfield.
