He is right, but it doesn't hit home as much when it's him saying it
Jose Mourinho | Sacked by Roma

What's the deal with Santon? Is he good enough to sit on the bench for AWB?
He certainly likes to complain about differential treatment, but it's a result of his manager persona and he's well aware of it. It's hardly a vendetta against him, he could easily tone himself down and play the role of the "happy one" or whatever it was he tried, and he'd have more leeway, just doesn't suit him.
I wonder what a young Mourinho would think of the current one if he had a glimpse of the future after he fecked off to Real Madrid, i doubt he'd be all that impressed with how things worked out. A wealthy man, no doubt, and he has a fantastic career to look back at, but now he's more or less irrelevant at the highest level and what he did several years ago is easy to forget in modern football. Took the piss out of other managers lack of trophies, how they are treated differently in terms of failure/success and how comfortable life is at other clubs, gets himself sacked at Tottenham after 1,5 year, just before their league up final, and he's now at Roma, who finished 7th last season, doesn't seem to be all that comfortable when you're a knobhead.
One day he's bragging about second place with Manchester United being among the top achievements of his career, the next day he's back to mocking others for how they are measured and it's the trophies that count, his criteria for success changes on a daily basis. It's a shame things ended like they did, i had hopes that he'd settle down at the club, but he ended up being a bit of a disaster where the negative effects could've been very damaging if he'd stayed any longer.
If people hadn't posted those tweets I'd have no idea he said those things. That's how insignificant he's become.
Which managers is he actually on about? Can't be on about Pep, Klopp, Tuchel, Zidane, Conte so who's he got beef now with seeing as Wenger is long retired, Ole who may have had the odd dig in last few years but he still finished 2nd and reached european final.
How is Smalling going to get on with Jose? He wasn’t a fan of his at United.
Just to get top 4 and probably win the european competition they're in so pretty much similar to his brief at Spurs which is the point he was missing a bit in his press conference e.g. Spurs went out of europa in hilarious fashion and were 5-6 points off top 4 when he was sacked. Mason won 4 out of his 6 games and they still weren't close to 4th so wouldn't have happened under Mourinho either.
I know Spurs were in league cup final but come on winning that while finishing 7th wouldn't have altered Kane's position, he'd still want to leave.
Probably why Mike was being linked to Everton, + the armed burglary.
Everton would be a good move for both parties.
real shame if he’s forced to move though, he seems to love it there.
Am surprised Mikhi renewed, but I guess at 32, he thought that was better for him. Mike seems like a good lad, I hope Jose doesn't screw him over.
Jose won't change though, no doubt the players will get the blame. Or Roma may be a better fit for him and he'll do well.
It's a shame though, many will remember the amazing Porto, Chelsea & Inter teams, i'll remember his latter years.
can you please offer us some cash for this injured waste of space
Ole. It is obvious. Ole is praised for his tenure in United and he won nothing so far. (With Jose everything is about trophies)
Fair enough.
Bit if Mourinho is lauding finishing 2nd in 17/18 as one of his greatest achievements and also winning europa in his first season surely Ole finishing 2nd AND reaching europa in actual same season (rather than 6th as Mourinho did) is roughly the same.
For club of Man. United size europa is only a means to an end in any case e.g. you had to win it to make CL in Mourinho's first season.
Mid table, whole squad to rebuild, 70% pathological and hopeless injury prone:
Florenzi, Spinazzola, Karsdrop, Smalling, Veretout, Zaniolo, Pellegrini, Mihikitaryan and many others
Mid table is too far, but regardless of who went there to coach them they certainly need a couple of new players there, think they will struggle to reach top 4 if they don't sign the right players.
Now it's a complete mistery what will happpen there, he is returning to a totally different league than the one he left 11 years ago, curious to see how Sarri will do at Lazio too.
For the people (romanisti)
Looks like he's in need of someone to rock shorts and lug balls around. We can probably arrange a straight swap of Mike Phelan for whichever five flair players he's already fallen out with.
The Toxic One is back already.
SportsBible says he axed 8 players from training on his first day.
So if those 8 players don't get sold or released, they already have some toxicity in the club.

All dead wood
Parking the vespa is his new tactic
Waiting for the sack watch.. it's inevitable.
Makes Rui Patricio a first signing. Good addition, super keeper
Respect
any chance we can convince Mourinho to purchase Telles?
I'd love that just for when Mou inevitably claimes Telles deserved a lot more game time last season and it gets perceived as a dig at Shaw
Used to be, wasn't that great for Wolves last season. Is Pau Lopez still there?
On loan at Marseille. You're right about Patricio, for some reason most Prem fans seem to think he was great for Wolves. Solid first season but this past one he was statistically the worst keeper in the entire league and the eye test backed it up.
So do I. I'm hoping for a big worldcup in Qatar next year from him.
Thought he was decent at the Euros to be honest. Few times I’ve seen him are the internationals and whenever we play Wolves
I do hope that he can help kick Italian football back to life.
If the stories about Suning Group are true and Inter Milan will now begin selling all their players, then it will be back to a Juve dominated Serie A for the next few years.

Absolute rubbish, he’s not going to get very far in Italy coaching like that. He needs to bring his thumb and his fingers much closer together so they are actually touching and then bring it closer to his mouth.
I can't see Telles going to Roma on loan or a transfer unless we land Trippier. Williams doesn't seem favored by Ole as the back up to Luke or even AWB.
That kits looks nice except for the massive Hyundai on the arse
Roma are our Italian team (nearest big club to us along with Lazio), and I'm irritated that Mourinho has come to spoil things. I thought I'd seen the back of him. Wonder how long he'll last?
