At what point did he give up on 433 and become wedded to 4231, at Real i guess?
Jose Mourinho | Sacked by Roma
- Thread starter roonster09
- Start date
Manager of the US national side.
To be fair, he did take the blame for the loss. Something along with "It´s my fault that I put those shit players on the pitch. I knew they were bad, but...".
Nuno has already used that excuse at Spurs, he learnt from the best
The funny thing is, I've seen some of his advocates actually accept this as a legitimate way of taking responsibility for loss.
Like "Cut him some slack man, he said it was his fault, alright?".
As for Roma fans, I'm really not sad about them, they generally got what they deserved. They hated Spalletti, they hated Fonseca. When Mourinho arrived, they were jubilant because of champion mentality he was about to bring to club. Now they will have to deal with negativity for at least a year, and then start restructuring again next summer.
They also celebrated getting rid of donkey Džeko
I actually think if Mourinho is given the money to get the players he wants he could still deliver titles. That's basically what he complained about when he was here, and Van Gaal had the same complaints aswell.
So maybe he could make it work at a PSG/Newcastle type of team unless he is so past it that even all the money in the world couldn't save him.
At Inter, where he famously deployed Eto'o as left winger.
Having all of the money in the world won't get you every player that you want. Van Gaal wanted to sign players that obviously weren't available. He complained about not being able to sign Neymar, Ramos, and Muller. Big clubs aren't going to bend over and easily sell you their best players.
He will still struggle at Newcastle. Top tier players aren't going to go there. Even if they're paid extremely well. They will have no chance of winning anything there for a good few years.
Mourinho is finished. When he lost guys like AVB he was never the same. He also evolved into a caricature of himself, with a bizarre defensive obsession. If you remember his first great Chelsea team, they were a footballing machine due to Duff and Robben's swashbuckling play. The fact he sold Duff speaks volumes to his lack of judgement. Also sold Lukaku, De Bruyne, etc cheaply.
We simply could not compete with his peak Chelsea side at the time, and it speaks to how astute Ferguson was to find a way to beat them.

Didn't Anzhi from Russia sign a bunch of top tier players back in the day ? Like Eto'o and William. I could see a few top players going to Jose's next club due to wanting to be managed by him.
United have money, but they do not have unlimited money like City, Newcastle or PSG have. Almost every player has a price.
He really wouldn't, the players be in full mutiny. Not endorsing Ole, but Mou's toxicity far exceeds any managerial or tactical nous he has left.
Some people actually still think he would win us the league. Bless.
He would not play Greenwood or Sancho, would only play Rashford from time to time because he would need him but still complain after every game about him, would play Lingard all the time and of course Pogba, Shaw and risk taker Bruno would love him.
And all this before we actually consider that he stopped being good enough long time ago.

I think RM stint destroyed him.
What got him success was building that siege mentality - us vs the world. With the RM stint, I think, he started doubting and questioning his own players. It didn't remain us vs them any longer. It became Some of us vs them, and considering the players he was falling out with were big players, players with influence, the entire siege mentality thing fell apart

Players are already in mutiny against Ole. Hes been called out by players in the dressing room already.
You are going to need to back that up with some facts because every comment out of that dressing room has been about how much they love playing for Ole. Sure Donny's agent has whined about playing time but the players are nowhere near close to mutiny against Ole, that is just a total fabrication.
This result aside, I heard Jose has Roma playing surprisingly good, attacking football this season. You watched them play?The funny thing is, I've seen some of his advocates actually accept this as a legitimate way of taking responsibility for loss.

Jose talked about bringing Greenwood through into the first team just before he got sacked. He wouldn't have signed Sancho after we got Ronaldo as Greenwood would play on the right. Would have definitely tried to sort midfield.
Jose talks a lot.
What's the source on this then?
Christ. The state of this post. And in this thread of all the threads on the forum.
Just let us enjoy Jose being shit.
The same Jose that barely played Rashford?
As has been mentioned by plenty of other posters, this sounds like nonsense.
PSG wouldn't touch him.
Newcastle would 100% take Jose, and he'd happily take their money. I'd love to see the insufferable Newcastle fans having their lottery win ruined by having to watch the utter misery Jose served up.
It’s inevitable that he goes there. He’s managed everywhere else. Would like to see it for the entertainment value.
Proof?
Of course not, we signed Sancho first.
He came out from the airport in a t-shirt, I can categorically say he was not prepared for Bodø.
ts
Jose will point to bailing out of the 'B' league final, as a big reason they win Serie A. Well played.
Won’t remain there for much time
But Roma fans are used to low standards in everything
They consider Mourinho a god
Xhaka their dream signing

Not the poster who made the original comment but I assume he is referring to Bruno’s latest interview when amongst other things, he said that the coaching staff needs to improve.
Pogba also ignoring Ole hints in that direction.
Yeah just like he didn't sign Sanchez when Martial was playing so well.
Throws his players under the bus and embarrasses them whenever his ego takes a hit.
I wouldn’t show this guy an ounce of respect regardless of past achievements, you don’t gain respect with interviews like this.
The whole Shaw incident really showed this egomaniac up for what he really is.
Wish he'd manage the actual Roma. They wouldn't put up with his shit
I saw nothing wrong with his interview. He said the truth. What is he going to say? That the referee cheated? He said the opponents first team was better than his second team. He expected his team to be good enough but they were not. And the best team won. He is right in everything he said.
He did what he always does with his players, especially youth players, kill their confidence to preserve his ego.
I’m sure they feel great to hear some no mark team from a shite league are much better players than them, just what you want to hear from your coach.
What's happened to Chris Smalling? Injured or just frozen out as thought he might play in their second team at least.
It's better for him to have faith in himself than to lose it by sheltering his second string.
