"I think I am a great manager. Not many did what I did.
"I am the best in the history of my country. I think that's enough. Portugal is not third world. So what I did there is good enough.
"I came to England and won the title with Chelsea 50 years after they last won it. I was the first to win the title in the first year in the club. I won it twice.
"I won other competitions. I have a few records in the Premiership, I think. Records for victories or goals or not conceding goals, or something like that.
"Victories at home or unbeatable at home is not a record, but we are not far from the record for that."
Well thank you for your opinion Mr Mourinho, it's a pity that you wouldn't have achieved virtually any of it if you didn't have a near endless pit of money at Chelsea. There isn't a half-decent manager in the world that wouldn't have managed to do what you've done with the same budget.
Over the last 2 and a half years, you've been able to just go out and buy and player you want, and there have been no wage restrictions whatsoever. Come down to League 2 and manage Boston or Rochdale, 2 clubs with no budget at all, and let's just see how you do then.
Then onto you winning the Champions League, the fact that you did it in a year when virtually all the big sides were gone by the quarter finals is hardly impressive. If you're so bloody fantastic, why haven't you got Chelsea past the semi-final stage, oh that's right, because there were half decent teams there unlike when you won it with Porto.
You are only an average manager who is working with a stupid wage budget. It's be interesting to see how bloody good you'd have been if you'd have managed Chelsea BEFORE Abramovich comes along.
