The next manager appointment (new thread)

[nsno-chris]

You've made the point a few times there would be noise/leaks of their intent.

I disagree.

They hired Mourinho when nobody expected it.

They sacked de Rossi when nobody expected it.

You say everyone knew it was Ranieri who'd go to Roma, eventually - but most of the media reports/consensus was it would be Mancini. Ranieri was wrapped up pretty quickly by comparison.

TFG have a reputation for keeping things very quiet;

I thought the main issue at Roma was when Tiago Pinto leaving. He was the man who appointed Mourinho as he’d been given full reigns to the footballing operations as General Manager

The business side of thing were run by the CEO. The mistake they made was giving the CEO, who had little footballing experience, the ability to make footballing decisions.

She sacked Rossi and fell on that sword

What I’ve read about TFG is the people they appoint to these positions have full control and live and die by the decisions they make

Whats so great about Mancini?

He's a multiple title winning manager.

He's out of contract.

I think remaining a Premier League team, under new ownership with the promise of transfer/investment - he's top tier of what could be attainable.

I bet he also smells great and has trendy coats.
