the question and thread I wanted to make is: What does it take for baldini & sabatini to lose faith in LE? or sack him? Because according to them LE is exceeding expectations, is 10 out of 10, they even gave him new contract after 3 - 0 loss to fiorentina! They have there tongue stuck up LE's ass! Our only hope is LE learned some coaching lessons this year and gets better for next year.Plus I still hope we get him an assistant manager like tassotti at milan
You know they have to be diplomatic about things. Just because they say one thing doesn't mean they aren't thinking another thing. Maybe it's just not possible for them to replace Luis Enrique until the summer. If that's the case then the best thing they can do is continue to fully support him.
Again stuck in between. Maybe if he gets the right players in the summer he could still turn out to be a champion. But then he is tactically naive, maybe he will learn after this experience this season but that is also very doubtful given that the away games we watch the same thing happen over and over again. Maybe with these right players he could get away with playing the same tactics against the likes of Atalanta, Lecce, Cagliari etc I am not sure
I don't know what they will do, maybe he will quit come May. All I know is that unless they are planning on immediately firing him the best thing they can do is support him fully. It's best for the perception of the media, the players, and the fans. It's really the only thing they can do aside from firing him. Criticizing him or making threats would do nothing to improve the situation.
Sabatini apparently said he would fire himself then fire LE. Thats it ddr, they are obsessed with LE.Nothing we can do, and hope that LE as rookie coach grows along with our rookie players. My wish was Walter Mazzarri btw. Nothing will get LE fired. We either need as fans to revolt, and push LE for resignation or we need to hope he improves. The amount of patience our management shown is amazing, up till now with this results we had I would have fired 3 coaches a la zamaparini if I was at the helm.
Solid article on LE's negative records this year which stacked up.. http://www.forzaroma.info/news-as-roma/tutti-i-record-negativi-della-roma-di-luis-enrique-68028
As I said I don't know what will happen, but I do know one thing you are reading their declarations to literal. You don't understand what Rome is like. There are tons of radio stations that do nothing but criticize. One station actually tried to shop a fake document of supposed phone calls between Baldini and Baldisoni that made them out to be free mansons. Why? So if this story came out they could then criticize Baldini without being liked to the story. Them giving 100% support to LE is the only way to quiet the situation. There is nothing to say because they are backing him 100%. No one can spread false reports of them not being happy or secretly talking with this coach or that coach. It's a political move, it really couldn't be clearer.
My impression is Sabatini thinks he hasn't gave LE good enough players to implement the system he wants, therefore I think he'll be allowed till next season. If Sabatini does bring in the right players, which I think he will and LE still isn't churning out flowing football and results then they'll consider firing him. This is all speculation of course until Baldini says anything on it.
Another thing is if we LE is gone, we need a coach who plays the same football or all of this years efforts are gone to waste. Someone who plays attacking football and has faith in youth or else players showing promise like Lamela, Borini and Viviani could be wasted. The only coaches I see suitable and who'd I like to see at the helm is Bielsa and Guardiola.
I hold him in high really.He is yet to fail with any serie a club ( reggina, sampdoria & napoli..he did fantastic). if not mazzarri, what about guus hiddink if u want a foreigner?
No way. Not Mazzari, maybe Hiddink. Guardiola could coach that team with a blind fold an a mute voice and they would still win. Andre Villas Boas would be perfect
I think some of the criticism needs to be put on Sabatini and LE. LE wanted Osvaldo, and for a long time he has annoyed me with his attitude and determination. Its there one game and gone the next. I am leaning towards playing some of the players at fault more than LE. Not having solid center backs in this system is a disaster and we have seen that this season. I want one more season of LE.
Yeah Villas Boas failed miserably both tactically and from character managerial aspect. This city would ruin him quickly.
At least he has been proven in somewhere other than a B team while having next-to-top players for such league
What they say means nothing, It's like any job. It's pure politics. You know how at work they always have those 'company' meetings with all employees where they go: "People like John at operations are what this company is built for, we're so proud to have him and you on our team"... three months later they will send out an email "Sadly John had to be let go, as the company is moving in a different direction, these decisions are always hard... bla bla bla". They can't say "LE is shit, but we are keeping him", how would that look on Roma's ownership? More than likely like gutless management... it's politics, you say what people want you to say, but then you do what you need to do. It's just how the world runs. Especially a city like Roma.
He did prove it, however that Porto team he had was honestly one of the best in all of Europe. Our squad is nowhere near that level. Also, what LE did with Barca B was beyond enough to warrant coaching a club. He has and still does have more experience coaching than Montella which some of you bring up. Hell I think Barca B would beat Roma right now.
