His Madrid team are about 3 times as good as his Inter team was. His time at inter was about playing ugly defensive football with long balls for Milito to chase.

Disagree he had some great players at Inter he got the best out of Sneijder, E'to, Chivu, Millito, Cambiasso, Lucio, Stankovic, Zanetti, Motta, Pandev etc and am missing a few, Inter had a quality squad that year they won the Champions League

Madrid were without a league title since the 2007 season, 5 years without a title is quite long for RM, especially when it's only them
And Barcelona competing realistically . He also won the the Spanish cup which they hadn't win since 1993, more than 10 years. From 2005 RM have failed to make it past the 2nd round of the Champions league all until 2010 when Maureen took over, they then played in the semis of the CL in 2011, 2012 and now 2013....

Then he had Eto and Milito, both with pace, chasing down long balls and playing on the counter. That's how that Inter team was set up. I watched over 20 of their matches in the CL winning season and remember commenting on how ugly, yet effective their football was. But in my opinion this Madrid te would have torn that inter team apart, especially with Maureen at the helm.

Whether Inter are/were better/worse than Real doesn't really matter. Madrid have a large squad, some of the best players in the world and a hell of a lot of money. Mourinho has probably delivered the bare minimum in order to keep his job. I don't think he's done anything out of the ordinary. A league title and a cup or two in 3 years is probably the least you would expect from a club in their position.

They won 3 trophies (1 league and 2 cups) in the 3 years before he arrived. They have won 3 since he arrived (1 league and 2 cups). I'm not saying that Mourinho has done 'badly', I'm just saying that he's achieved nothing special and only delivered what was expected. Basically, he has kept them ticking over but it has cost in excess of £150m! Can't say I'm overly impressed to be honest. (Mind you, kenny spent a similar amount to win the carling cup and take us backwards in the league!)

But as you say he has kept them ticking over which is important especially as Barca threatened to steal ahead in the race for Spanish dominance.
