Jose Mourinho to Roma appointment may be great news for Daniel Levy

[Japhet]

Jose is a good manager but his not a spurs manager, we have an ethos and a way we like to conduct ourselves which i don't think suits Jose.

If having enough money in the kitty to buy whoever you want, enabling you to become the ultimate flat track bully is the definition of good, I'd agree. Times have changed though and lesser teams have learned how to look after themselves, there are more big hitters, the press don't constantly blow smoke up your arse and suddenly it's not so easy to throw your weight around.

Sadly he seems to have become that

By the way, I disagree that the Roma team have no chance of winning anything. They have suffered horrendously with injuries this season to key players.
They have not done well but have some very good experienced players, many of which have played under Mourinho already.

The strength of the Italian league with Juve not being what they were, Inter being financially crippled and Napoli having fallen out of contention has really fallen in this last year. Inter really struggled in the UCL and finished bottom of the group behind Shaktar and Borussia M.

I suspect that league could be dominated by a defensive minded counter attacking team the same way Allegri did with Juve.

Juve still have an excellent squad, they just have an incredibly incompetent man at the helm. If they get Allegri again they'll be competing. Inter, Napoli, Atalanta, Lazio, Milan all have better squads. Just don't think that counter-attacking mindset works as well as it once did. Football has evolved, and he's refused to accept it.

I see Roma as having a stronger squad than Atalanta and Lazio at the least. They are just drilled much more effectively than Roma right now

That doesn't actually describes his Porto and Inter teams though.

Fair play to them, we never gave him anywhere near that amount of adulation, even at his height. Did we ever sing a song for him?

How recent was this?

 

[Shadydan]

Feel like shit, just want him back

 

[ralvy]

How recent was this?

Just a bit over ten years ago, less than the last time we won any silverware.
