Jose Mourinho

[Monkey boy]

I think that if Roma pay him less than we paid him then we have to make up the difference for the remainder of what was left on his contract with us. Might be wrong but even if true not so much of an expense.
As is common when a manager gets a new club he takes his previous coaching staff with him,if he does better still.

No way thats the case. In theory Roma could pay him £1 per week and let us make up the difference.

I wonder who at Roma will be his first scapegoat I’m guessing Nicoló Zaniolo

Has to be Mkhitaryan or Smalling

 

[tototoner]

If this means Sarri is now coming to us I will not be happy

 

[Monkey boy]

it wouldnt surprise me if levy knew roma were interested, so got rid as they wouldnt pay the compo - and now has to pay him less on the basis hes gone stright into another job.

The BSoDL's are already starting to spin their nonsense i see

Lamela off to Roma it is

Not the case at all, otherwise Roma would need to negotiate with us to hire him (see why Adebayor never joined West Ham even after we’d released him on a free).

Roma aren’t getting the Mourinho that Inter got.

12-18 months time all the news reports coming out of Roma will give us all deja vu.

How does this save us money?

in effect he was put on gardening leave. We continue to pay his salary monthly until either a) his contract with us runs out (which was next Summer) or b) he takes up a new job.

that he has taken up a new job, means we save paying him 1 year of his salary, which was widely reported to be £15m a year. So we save this amount.

Very nice.

More hoping it will be Doherty

One of my mates has said he's ideally placed to become the next pope.

A-Pope-apiah

Probably best league for Jose, although Roma has history of playing very attractive and attacking football. Sadly I don't think he will want any of our players that we don't want to keep.

 

[Ashley1974]

Got to feel for Smalling and Mikitarian!

i can assure you in no such way am i a levy supporter, i think he needs to leave! but he's a cunning little shit, so i was merely stating it wouldnt surprise me, climb down off the high horse you've perched yourself on.

Because he's on gardening leave.

I'm sure he'd take Doherty?

 

[SpursTillIDie1882]

Saves us about £10m that. That's basically the cost of loaning Bale again next season. Really good news.

or a new boss withe some spare

 

[SpursTillIDie1882]

I'm sure he'd take Doherty?

.... and Dier ?

 

[ardiles]

Wait a minute, if he's on garden leave for us, doesn't that massively save us a fair chunk of cash

Does that mean we now have money to spend on incomings?

 

[dtxspurs]

Poor Roma fans..

Hard to think he'll be succesful there, that team does not have much talent, not much money to spend on transfers and they seem pretty clearly the 7th best team in the country.
