We all know about Freddy Shepherd's "hands on" approach which upset Sir Bobby Robson, Graeme Souness and Glenn Roeder ... and all three got the sack by the Toon chairman.

And Mourinho could never accept the "tinkering" going on at Stamford Bridge.

Taylor: "Once you take away the authority the manager has in signing players, you're on a slippery slope.

"What I would say about Mourinho is his record is with underachieving
players and when Shevchenko and Ballack came in, it disturbed the balance.

"They've never looked as fluid and that's because the manager probably did not himself believe that is the way they should be playing."
