To make them decent? That's harsh. To make them great he took that long. I wouldn't call winning the Premierhip just "decent". To make them decent he took just a few years at most. He took over in '86, won the FA Cup in 89/90, the European Cup Winners Cup in 90/91, the UEFA Supercup in 91/92. I'd say a "decent" side would win those, wouldn't you?

I agree with the other point of the first 100 games, though. How many did Mourinho win in his first 100? Might not have had 100 games yet, mind you. The first 100 games is predominantly based on how well the players were before the manager came along.
