One would like to write that James Palotta is finally leaving Rome, but the problem is that the businessman from Boston rarely stayed at the club. Only once in the last two years. But this is not what the fans hold much against him. “Nine years of shame and lies”, “Come home” – these are only some of the banners that Roma’s supporters hung in front of the club in June. During the entire term of Palotta, the club did not win any trophies, although it must not be forgotten that in the 2017/18 season it played in the Champions League semi-finals. It was after his victory over Barcelona that the American unexpectedly appeared in Rome to celebrate his promotion with a bath in a fountain in the city center.
