so why then, has he sacked so many managers?

does he watch chelsea play with his deadpan face and have U2's ''but i still haven't found, what i'm looking for'' chorus line banging inside his head?

roman wanted something new and didn't like it. standard.

Why has he fired so many managers, well, because they weren't doing the job, seems obvious enough?

Mourinho builds teams in a way that seems to work short term than backfire, big time. Chelsea were going the wrong way and, as it goes certain managers at clubs with money seem to get upset when after given a couple years of insane spending these crazy owners expect a manager to.... stop spending and improve the team through you know, training, coaching, tactics. Mourinho started throwing his dummy out the pram while results got worse, as did performances. He got fired for a multitude of reasons and they were correct.

Mourinho may have had success at Inter and Real but look at the teams, Inter absolutely fell apart, Mourinho ran them into financial trouble, spent badly, created a team that struggled with injury and had to play anti football to win, and this was a team that had already won the league title multiple times in a row and straight after he jumped ship, were seriously dodgy for a while.

Real are already 8 points behind, but there is obvious disharmony in the dressing room, the performances have been rubbish, two years and things start to fall apart.... the Mourinho trademark.

Either way, CM, you're still claiming Roman wants something specific, VERY specific, with no proof whatsoever. Young, faster and get rid of the old guard. This was ALL entirely generated by the press.

Roman did/does seemingly want two things, attractive football and a champs league win, as this has been the idea since the start. Also generally speaking no one spends a couple billion to be Bolton with a champs league title, you spend 2 billion to be the new Barcelona. Youth, speed, getting rid of the old players has nothing to do with winning or good football.

Who else did he fire, hiddink was a temp manager, he wasn't fired, 99% of the world wouldn't believe Grant was right for the job now, Ancelloti won a double but did significantly worse the next season and rightly or wrongly he couldn't get anything out of Torres. AVB was shockingly awful for Chelsea.

There is nothing to suggest Mourinho, Ancelloti, certainly not AVB, nor Grant or Scolari could actually do anything to do a better job over 5 years than they were doing over a few years.
