I had the same thoughts. What are the chances he wins them a cup? Has Jose even won a cup since his wondercoach (Rui Faria) left?

I guess we're about to find out. I'll be checking in with interest, but guess Italian game is more his style anyway.
Honestly, given that it's related to us then sod's law he absolutely will win a trophy with Roma. Nailed on. Still doesn't mean we were wrong to sack him, mind.

Regarding your earlier question:

How does it help our finances? Were we only paying loss of earnings?

Apparently these are the numbers...

 
Wish PSG crashing out the champions league and possibly not winning Ligue 1, I genuinely think Poch could get sacked.

If you'd asked me a few months ago if I wanted Poch back, I'd have said it would be way too soon, and a step in the wrong direction to do that right now.

Looking at the other options available though.... might not be quite such a terrible idea. As long as Levy actually would be backing him for the 'painful rebuild' this time.

Either way, he's on the poll now.

He won’t get sacked. They were doing very poorly when he took over. He got them to beat Bayern. He will get at least one more season.
 
One thing to worry about with Gasperini is that he is rather volatile once set off.

He and Papu Gomez had a massive falling out in the fall, including one punching the other (some reports say Gasperini punched Papu, some the other way around). And Gasperini told Atalanta's owners that if Papu was not sold he would walk.

So if he were to fall out with any of our players it would become a trainwreck of massive proportions.
Wouldnt mind him punching a few of our lot
 
There's only one man for this job.
Argentinean having a rough time in N17 heads to Paris, returns home after a brief stay and guides Spurs to European glory?

Tache optional

Well, it's Roma who are subsidisizing his wages.

He's owed 16MM by Spurs, Roma are paying him 7MM, so we now only owe him 9MM

That is the standard way for these contracts to be structured, at least in the US.
But we’ve terminated his contract.

A clause like that would be insane. Roma could say ‘we’ll pay you 50 euros a week and chuck in a bowl of pasta’. There’s zero incentive for them to stump up anything.

I also do not believe that individuals make the terms of their employment contracts public knowledge within two hours of taking a job.

Same players there that he wanted to move on 2 year ago. That he couldnt get over the line.
Plus work with levy again? Come on people
