Mourinho has always been like that Drags, it's just seeing it from the other side of the fence I think.
I'm not so sure, first time round there was a lot more humour to him, he was a wind up merchant. As time has gone on he has become more paranoid and seems bitter for some reason, like he feels he doesn't get the recognition he deserves.
He wants to be seen in the same light as the Shankly or Fergie, even Pep gets ore credit in the media for his achievements, despite continually walking into ready made squads with oodles of cash to improve. Jose has at least had to rebuild a bit from time to time.
The reason he never wanted to follow Fergie directly at Utd was because he knew he would be on a hiding to nothing. A failure if he didn't win, riding on Fergie's coat tails if he did. So he swept in thinking he'd be the ssaviour but has not had a great deal of affection from the press and if he doesn't win it this year, it won't get any easier for him.
I seriously think he has developed a number of mental health issues.
