Oh come on mate, your only argument here is that it sends out wrong messages and tarnishes what we have achieved... In who's eyes... not in mine. Everything we have won has been in our own right, and we have achieved as a team. It won't be tarnished by one team winning the league who are following a similar model to us. Also if man u win, and man city lose the league, mourinho or pep then decide to go there, then that could be more damaging as we are stuck with rafa and all of a sudden are up against the special one. In the present the best case scenario for cfc is to get a quality manager in and get back to challenging for the title, the odds of thar goes down with man u winning the league. Have city won the champions league. Do they have close to the trophy count we have got in the last 10 years etc... No, but i can see them winning a lot more if mourinho comes in there for a few years.
