I think generally Ferguson used a much larger squad than JM... He always had a second team of players who were happy to come off the bench, or be rotated and knew that's exactly what their role was. You could argue Mourinho did this reasonably successfully in his first stint at Chelsea, but since then his approach has become narrower in terms of personnel.
Ferguson may have made some difficult choices, but he was always alienating one individual - making sure it never disrupted the team as a whole. Mourinho on the other hand, seems to slowly alienate himself.
I guess you could say with Ferguson the approach was "no-one is bigger than the team" and with Mourinho it's "no-one is bigger than me"
