>>63077550Mou's not a hack in the sense that everyone and their dog knew that he isn't a capable long term manager. Although failing to sign Stones hurt him, he's consistently proven he's miserable at assessing a club's direction. In particular, his offensive signings, especially wingers, are as bad as Kenny Dalglish's second term Liverpool signings.
On a matchday, Mou might be one of the best managers ever at getting a good team to beat a better team, but this niche has carried over into some people thinking he is great.
I think that most people in the know had figured this out from him a while ago, and so in that sense I don't think he's a hack, just Chelsea fanboys put an expectation on a man incapable of living up to it.
