I was serious actually. 1 UCL in 2 seasons is a good enough record, even if you prefer the EPL more.

Sure, when you spend 77 M in 2 1/2 years you have every right to expect winning the EPL, but if you compare it with the spendings of Chelsea and Man UTD You'll see it's enough for top 4 only.
Mourinho came at Chelsea, at the same time Rafa came to Liverpool.
Mourinho spent : 90.2 M in season 2004/05 + 53.4 in season 2005/06 + 64.5 M in season 2006/07
= 208.1 M in 2 1/2 seasons
And their main players are still Lampard and Terry, who together with Joe Cole, came to Chelsea before Mourinho came and spent +200 M.
Ferguson :
season 2004/05 : 54.8 M (Rooney, Smith, Saha, Heinze....)
season 2005/06 : 22.5 M (Vidic, Evra, Park, Van der Sar...)
season 2006/07 : 18.6 M ( Carrick)
Total : 95.9 M .....and they won absolutely nothing, not to mention how heavily they depend on players bought before splashing 95.9 M ( players like Ronaldo, Scholes) !!!!
Get my point ?
