José Mourinho: Fenerbahçe Manager (sack watch)

[horsechoker]

I think the other thread is too large now and not updated

Looks like we'll be crossing paths again with him and Fred

Fred & Amrabat, midfield of dreams

 

[LankyHoggie]

The Amrabat - Fred pivot is the stuff of dreams we never knew we needed.
Quite a feisty little midfield Jose is building over there, good luck to him.

Fred/Amrabat v Mainoo/Ugarte

I guess the ‘good’ form Roma showed under De Rossi was just the bounce?

Jose, never liked him before he was United manager and he can be a massive bell end, but he’s a far better manager than people realise. Tactically he’s probably the best in the world when up against anybody with a comparable quality squad, particularly in one off games.

He is really unlikable so is attacked and scrutinised in the same way puff pieces protect Pep from any meaningful criticism.

There's 7 points between 18th and 1st, roma are only 3 points off where they finished last season.

To try and take anything away from that is pure confirmation bias and sensationalist. I don't even like mourinho but he's always going to have a better chance winning the league with fenerbache in turkey than Roma in Italy, so what are we even doing here.

He is actually far worse.

I wonder if we’d have finished as low as 8th if he had the backing and support ETH has been given

Definitely not but then Mourinho always makes things much more toxic.

He had Chelsea in a relegation battle the last time around before they sacked him, which was right after they won the league.

Anything is possible with that gowl, I think Bobby Charlton was right all along, he should never have been let anywhere near Utd.

Of course it's sensationalist, it's twitter/the media!

Fenerbahce got 99 points last season, hardly surprising they're top 5 games in, epsecially when they've played a game more than Galatsaray who sit in 2nd and will overtake them if they win tomorrow night.

He's got a job on to win the title, it's like when City were going up against Liverpool with those insane points totals, or perhaps Mourinho Madrid v Guardiola Barcelona would be an even better example.A player of Osimhen's profile going to Turkey, and to a team who racked up 102 points last season is mental. Going to be so hard to stop. I see it's Fenerbahce v Galatasaray at the weekend, so early in but alreaady potentially impactful for the title race.

Roma been a bit wank, but they were financially hamstrung when Mourinho was there, I don't know if that's still the case? Not been following their story.
