When has he ever strengthened a direct rival for the title?
And don't say when he sold Mata to Man U - that was in the Jan transfer window in Moyes first season when it was clear they were a shambles and no threat.

He also let Petr Cech go to Arsenal which is fairly significant strengthening of a rival.
