Big clubs with loads of money to waste better batten down the hatches as Roma have just sacked Mourinho.

In 25 years he's never managed more than 3 seasons in the same job

I'd love to see him return to Stretford & fck them over again.

Apparently 9th in the table, just lost to Lazio & he keeps being sent from the touchline, so he's not calmed down at all.

Rumours that Big Jim is a fan and Fergie used to be.

He's been an utter bastard in his time with Roma, like a caricature of himself.

He managed to galvanise their support though, sold out the Olimpico time after time which wasn't even happening when they had the likes of Totti and Batistuta playing

He could rock up at Newcastle next, although I would be surprised if one of the Saudi clubs didn't try and chuck a load of money at him, especially as Gerrard could be getting sacked fairly soon

Vegan roll man losing the plot. Be gone forever with his crappy club. 

Does 20 goals bakayoko still have another year? He'd be going from Scottish prem to none league....

Not sure he'd make the step up tbh

I'm pleased for the FGR players, I bet they hated playing for him, clearly an obnoxious, toxic presence.

He'd been given a 4 match touchline ban today for abusive/threatening behaviour a few weeks ago, presume that was the final straw for the owner, as if one was needed.

Still one of the modern greats though 

Went 9 years (at 4 clubs) with out losing a home league game  

Something like 150 games v 107 teams

Shame.

Thoroughly decent chap who’s been given no time at all. 

Well apart from the 10 months that is.

he's certainly slowed down in the honours stakes in the last 10 years bar Chelsea part 2

this list has him at 7th of all time in terms of trophies won

though I'd not put Valeriy Lobanovskyi, Jock Stein, or Mircea Lucescu above him myself

No doubt he’s up there just think he couldn’t evolve when players couldn’t hack bollockings anymore. His tough love/reward management died. Happens to all even thinking back to Clough (circumstances different) but I imagine one day players reacted differently to his methods.
