Something about him and that sort of environment.
Plus, for some of them players, I think it's last call saloon.
Mess it up with Mourinho and they're getting binned in a clear out when it all falls apart.
If you're a Mbappe and you've just seen PSG win back-to-back Champions' League titles in your immediate departure and essentially (now) be considered the best football club in the world - with what was your low-profile teammate being the Balon d'Or winner (with a good shout to make it back-to-back as well, depending on how France do in the World Cup), then you know you're going to have as big a magnifying glass and spotlight on you to perform than ever before.
You also have the likes of Jude, Trent and Vinni and the pressure on these guys to deliver will never be greater than next season.
If they do end up having to sack Mourinho (be it by Christmas or the end of the season), he's not leaving that club alone.
Many of those underperforming stars will be right behind him.
I could easily see Trent back in the Premier League for the '27/'28 season with a Brentford or a Leeds.
