    Roma have been making more than 100 million on players transfers for the last 2 seasons. The only reason Roma were able to sign so many players on a free was because of Mourinho reputation. Dybala, Lukaku, Wini would have never signed if not for him

Back to back european finals for Roma is special. 3rd highest wage bill, while it is correct, is mostly due to the fact that tiago pinto raised pellegrini to “star-player” level in terms of salary, as he earns nearly as much as the league’s star players osimhen and leao while he is very much underperforming for 2 years. they have also spent the 3rd least amount (18th in the league in 3 of the 4 previous windows).

    81 points in the Premier League in 17/18 with united, that was quite incredible. Best achievement by a mile since 11/12. Roma had the 3rd least transfer spent in the last 4 windows. Going to back to back finals is huge, Roma as the guys here said had not won a european trophy since 1961. they had not won anything since 2008. and i know it may not be a popular opinion, but for Roma Fans that second final was a robbery. Mourinho doesn‘t say for nothing that in his eyes that final was won. Which would have been their first UCL qualification in 6 years. They beat Bayer Leverkusen, who are flying high with Xabi Alonso, Sociedad who finished first place in the UCL group. Jose is a very intelligent man who has been kind of heartbroken by the ownership. Roma were never expected to win trophies or reach finals, even the most positive roma fan would have been ecstatic by the idea of reaching 2 finals in 2 years before his arrival. The general feeling amongst the Roman fanbase is that the sacking is undeserved, because after 6 games against the top 6, they are „only“ 5 points behind top 4. now they have 3 games against relegation sides which could give them a great chance to go back into top 4, wherebthey had been only 6 weeks ago. Jose always defies logic and odds, and so he has in Rome.

    Wenger and Capello said something like a great manager can only make a team 4% better off at most, but a bad one can take them 15% worse off. Their biggest factors of success is the players, that's why managers always try to have transfer control. Fergie, Mourinho, Wenger, Capello, Pep, Arteta, Klopp can only thrive with the players they had. If Mourinho don't have the best players, he would not have the best team. Even in Porto's win, he had some great players join. Pep's won almost everything because all the best players gather there. It is as simple as that. Give Mourinho a blank check, and he would assembled the best team. Give him ManUtd or Spurs players, and suddenly he washed out.

    @@otto_jk That's why I stay away from the GOAT manager debate. Zidane won 3 UCL with the greatest players assembled at the time. So did Pep. They are great coaches for the job they have, but put them in a Spurs team, and I doubt they can do much. Mourinho could only managed to win them a League Cup if he wasn't sack, and I think Levy sacked him because he did not want Mourinho demanding more expensive players if he did won a trophy and take them to a new level. I also found the manager "not having the players they need to succeed " to be a terrible excuse. It is their job to work with the players they have. I don't recall Carlos Ancelotti whined about Everton players not to his standards, he played them to the best of their ability. Play Real Madrid to the best of their ability, he won the UCL and La Liga. Ancellotti's Everton and Mourinho's Roma can only be where their players capable of.

    Jose is such a pantomime figure. As a fan of a different PL team I hated him when he had his 1st spell at Chelsea, but when he moved to Inter and Real Madrid I was able to appreciate him from a far. His battles with Guardiola has to be up their with the biggest manager rivalries of all time, and was an absolute dream to watch! Even as someone who loved watching that prime Barcelona team, that Inter vs Barcelona CL semi final will live fondly in my memory. "We needed some water to clean my players blood from the pitch". Legendary. This might be silly, but I can only compare him to a WWE villain. I hated certain ones so much when I was a 7 or 8 years old that when I grew up I realised how good they were, because they elicited so much emotion from me and created memories. Every team Jose managed I preferred a rival domestic club, but I've massive respect for him now and will live long in the memory of football fans

    Mourinho work at Roma was very good. He did not achieve top 4, but Roma had 4th most expected points in 2021/2022 and 3th most in 2022/2023. It is not the fault of the manager if the team underperforms their xG. Two things contributed to this: having the worst goalkeeper in Serie A (Rui Patrício is the goalkeeper who conceded the most goals compared to the goals he was expected to concede) and missing tons of chances. This not to mention his European record at Roma was excellent. Mourinho proved in this work that he is still a great manager. Regarding the sacking, it was totally unexpected. Fans were still backing him and most player liked him. This not to mention Roma was only 5 points from top 4 after an injury crisis and having a difficult sequence of games at the same time. This not to mention that Roma has 6th most expected points. This means that the fall in perfomance was normal for a team that had so many injuries.

    The problem with Mourinho is that he's a bit of a "Transfers" manager. Back him in the transfer market, constantly buy him his first or second choice player, get rid of any players he doesn't fancy and he'll do a fantastic job, as he did at Chelsea, Inter and Real Madrid. But, if you don't allow him to simply buy in success then he can't seem to be able to get things to work. That's not a knock on him, even Guardiola has a large element of that - at Bayern they already had the best players and just bought in more great players, and at City they've spent 1.5 Billion Euro's since Guardiola took charge in 2016. No matter how good or how innovative a manager you are, money will always win at the end of the day. Take Jose Mourinho, put him at a club like PSG with pretty much unlimited finances, or a Newcastle who are on the up & up with near limitless funding (FFP permitting) and he'll still do a good job. It's just not necessary now to have a Mourinho because of the press issues he brings, the fallings out with players and so on.

    The suggestions of Mourinho to Newcastle ultimately fail to appreciate some key cirumstances: A) The club need a builder, someone who can work as part of a longer term project to undo the neglect under Ashley. B) The club don't have the kind of FFP room at the moment to allow or justify a Mourinho splurge on players in or around their prime, especially because they already have far too many old players on the books on contracts which need to be shifted. C) The ownership are very process driven and are taking a view towards the long term. Firing their current manager to bring in a high risk, volatile coach goes against that, esppecially given the only thing you'd likely get might be a domestic cup. D) The fanbase remain behind Eddie Howe, and as much as there is a lot of affection for Mourinho in terms of his status and links to Robson, there's also a general enjoyment of not being in the headlines because the manager has said something stupid or volatile. Having been through coaches like Kinnear, Allardyce, Bruce, Pardew and Carver who all said things which made the club look like mugs, having someone who comes across as quietly professional is a nice change and I don't think we'd want to change just for the sake of it. Realistically, if and when Howe goes, I suspect we're more likely to see the club looking at someone younger like Fonseca. If Jose is to return to England, I suspect we're more likely looking at a team like West Ham.

    The Special One is still one of the best managers in the world, however his ego usually betrays him and that's why he's been sacked off from AS Roma for the results. So, I hope he can find a new football club as soon as possible.

    People are funny. He IS special and always will be. He took Roma to two consecutive European finals. Do you know where Roma has been the last 24 years? People say "oh he's getting sucked all the time". Yeah by clubs with no ambition or plan for god's sake. He, Don Carlo, Pep and Sir Alex are the pinnacle of managerial history.

    9:20 Very true, I watched a few games from Roma this season.. found it ok to watch I think they tied the game but I was entertained. But I won't be watching them again this season. Roma as a team doesn't really have anyone that's considered top tier, dybala is debatable. Lukaku was a beast when he was younger. Mancini is developing.. an argument to be made whether they deserve a better spot.

    Fonseca's last season their key players were Dzeko, Pedro and Kolarov and their youth prospects outside of Zaniolo were nothing to write about. They lost money on most of the young players they signed and sold and their sporting director was thus fired. Just buying random youth players doesn't guarantee success.

    I think the point about José not being able to amass high points total's in the league is somewhat invalid, when you factor in the quality of the squads he has had relative to the competition. Ultimately, he has delivered an acceptable league performance, supplemented by excellent cup and European runs/wins. Roma have a pretty high calibre 13-14 players but lack the depth to compete in 3 competitions.

  • @hnaku8748

    Jose even in what some consider failure manages to achieve things that haven't been done for a while. It's similar theme to how Pep is judged by winning/not winning the UCL wherever he goes. Just shows the standards if anything for me. Even though Mourinho might not be as invincible as before, the fact that he never lost the fans or the players in Roma and yet was let go does sound harsh. Two games away from top 4 is not the worst. Certainly better than what a certain Spurs lemon merchant is currently doing at the club I support. Have that Jack.

    Difference between Pep and Jose is the 115 charges at City and the documented paying off of refs in Barcelona. People give Pep too much credit. If we want to call a master tactician a master manager, then we will have to include Bielsa as one of the greatest managers of all time. I don't include Bielsa in that list. Jose has a history of building up all sectors of the club in places like Chelsea and Real Madrid. He even builds up the staff (Rodgers at Chelsea and Zidane at Madrid). Pep has had everyone else to take care of the other things. THATS THE BIG DIFFERENCE. Pep is a master tactician, like Bielsa, who has had the benefit of having the strongest squads and most money at his disposal. Jose is a master manager, who similar to SAF and Arsene, has shown he can build an entire club.

    For me, Jose is a great, but he's at his greatest when he's in adversity. He needs a small or medium club with a siege mentality to produce That Amazing Football. Of course, Real Madrid is an exception, but even there, he had the underdog mentality against Barca - said "we won without being the best team." I think he needs to go somewhere small and quiet, and build it into a beast with less of a public eye, then come out of nowhere and make a big push for trophies.

    You guys are very funny😅. Over the course of the last three years, I have closely followed AS Roma, and it is evident that the ownership had unrealistic expectations, overlooking the resources available. Their approach seems to have been focused on results without a practical consideration of the resources at their disposal. Did Mourinho experience failure at AS Roma? Clearly not, especially given the constraints of a limited budget and the strategy of acquiring players through loans and free transfers. I foresaw this outcome, particularly following the departure of Pinto.

Even when everyone seems to be against him and things seem to be going wrong he somehow still always finds himself there in the mix for trophies. He was about to win a trophy at spurs too and levy sacked him to make sure that didnt happen lol. The man still has a winning mentality, i'm not sure if he can handle the pressures of competing for the premier league anymore but if he was back in england i think he could still do great for a lot of clubs.
