If he hadnt mentioned Jose at all, it would've been worse. Inside he had to be upset about not getting matches and when he does bring up Jose, what he said could be seen as a veiled sbot at him but what he said is right. I'm sure this whole experience under Jose did make him stronger for having to deal with being a fringe player after winning POY the last 2 seasons there. Exactly if he had to mention any coaches or staff at all, then he has to mention Jose, and he said the right thing.

Mata apparently has much better P.R. people than RvP.

I'm not sure about how "classy" this is. For the rest of the world it looks like a pro who harbours no malice. But this line suggests otherwise:
To Robbie and Rafa, for their unlimited trust in me. And to Jose, for making me a stronger player, because in difficult moments, I have learnt to remain positive and to keep working hard.
It sort of says you didn't trust me. But in spite of you I remained strong and became a better player by simply remaining positive as you refused to select me.
Still, I can imagine how most of the rest of it is heart-warming for a Chelsea fan.
only YOU will interpret it like that, he mentioned that the letter was coming straight from his heart, so in other words he was being honest with everyone with Jose. What do you want him to do? not mention Jose's name at all after thanking everyone at the club including the past managers OR use stronger words towards Jose?? And it wasn't just heart-warming to Chelsea fans, about few journalist/pundits including sid lowe and janusz michallik, have already acknowledged his letter as classy Well I'm sure it was heart warming to you, given your affiliations.
I know it's important that you oppose everything I say and insofar as possible try to isolate my opinion. I put it out there for what it was. I find the mentions of Mourinho damning. In no way does he concede that he deserved to be dropped.

I'm not sure why the simplest explanation - that Mata wishes to leave on good terms and has therefore sought to accentuate the positive in everything concerning his tenure at Chelsea - doesn't suffice here. Jose gave him very little to work with - and he explicitly acknowledges the difficulties - but he's made the best of it.
No other agenda to be found here without a lot of linguistic contortions.
