Miguel Delany says the £30m payout is an issue that makes sacking him unlikely for now.

Why?
You would rather miss out on top four and sell your best players just to be loyal to a manager that migh or might not turn things around.
Why should the club listen to the players? They couldn't care less about this club. It's time the club starts backing managers. We have to show a new culture because lord knows I'm tired of the revolving door of managers.
@Gol123 that's a lot of nonsense. That earlier post of yours.
Players come and go.
Almost all top clubs have a revolving door of managers. Arsenal are the exception right now.
You can imagine him pacing around the darkened corridors of Stamford Bridge muttering to himself. 'Art thou but a dagger of the mind, a false creation, proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain?'
We'll have him off you for £20M.
What earlier post?
Chelsea surely wont be able to spend £200m like united did to get back into the top 4. That said, they have hardly spent (net) anything on transfer. Plus the increased PL deal and new Yokohama deal means that there is an additional £50m in revenue from this/next season anyways.
Also, another £50m can be easily raised from selling some players who are out on loan.
Simeone is the only manager who should replace Mourinho. If its not possible then Chelsea should keep Mohuinho.
Going for guardiola will be a crap move. He has been well found out in this bayern stint.

Perhaps, but if there's a dressing room revolt against a manager where the vast majority of the players want him gone, then there's not particularly much that can be done, unless a club wants to take a massively risky approach of basically not having enough players to fill a team at the start of a season.
Yeah that's just classic armchair psychology babble.
Mourinho cannot continue at Chelsea Hazard or not. He has immolated in a bad way and the atmosphere is toxic at Chelsea. They need anyone to right the ship for the interim and then look at long term replacement (Unal Emery, Rudi Garcia, Pep) in the summer
I hope he doesn't get sacked. That's an easy way out and he will come up with some rubbish like how Chelsea doesn't deserve him and he leaves due to certain individuals blah blah. He is a great manager, let's see him try get out of this rut and prove how good he really is.
I think some credit is due for our board in not hiring him. I know several accounts have emerged about choosing Sir Alex's successor, but Mourinho must have merited consideration. Sir Bobby came under some criticism for supposedly blocking his hire. Clearly Jose is not the right man for this club, although it has taken me some time to realize that. I would hate to see us going through this kind of manufactured turmoil.
They would be mad to sack him,i know Fergie earned his place as top dog,where is known that player will go out way before manager. If a manager is right one,i believe in that alfa thing,where whole squad knows that club will rather see back of player(or all of them) then a manager. We would never see player power in that extant under Fergie like they had with Terry and co vs managers like AVB (for example).
Players and agents have way to much power today anyway,its a scary place for a manager,when players knows,if manager doesnt dance how they like it,they will force an owner to sack him in 2-3 months time.

if he was our manager he would remove the busby statue
It's being reported that Mourinho was sent off for telling Jon Moss "Wenger was right, you are fecking soft". 
I hope he never leaves.

Matt Law, who is well-sourced at Chelsea (broke Pedro to Chelsea the night before), was saying Chelsea protected themselves better in Jose's contract compared to last time as in they won't have to pay the full compensation if they do sack him...

Don't change Jose
Agreed.
I think it's easier for the players and the fans to deal with poor results without his current meltdown, even in our worst days fergie was always like a rock, he'd say something like "there'll be a response, you can bet your house on that". I really don't think mourinho inspires his players anymore.
The problem Jose has is that his siege mentality and us-against-the-world mantra only works when you have a united squad and staff. Mourinho has shot himself in the foot over the incident with the doctor and physio and publicly questioning the players.
Mourinho's not a stately representative like Wenger; he just looks like a spoilt brat when losing, but that is partly what makes him such a great manager. He's a winner and will find any excuse for a loss rather than concede his ego. He's not that different to Fergie in this regard. Those who say Fergie never criticised referees constantly are living in a state of denial. Why do you think Fergie likes Mourinho so much? He's a little scrapper. I admire his unyielding will, but he certainly has many flaws.

Fergie did it to pressure referees but he knew what he was doing and once the game was over the focus for him was back on the team, fergie had his moment with wenger as well but he was never that obsessive, mourinho is taking it to another level, it's like he can't hear himself anymore.
Wenger's never been particularly liked by other managers. There's a pattern there. I just think Mourinho has a sincere dislike for the guy and Wenger for Mourinho. The only reason Mourinho looks foolish at the moment is because of the results on the pitch and the problems within the club. He's always been like this. Those who are laughing at him at the moment should make the most of it, because he'll back to winning things soon (with Chelsea or elsewhere) and infuriating those who like to get on their high horses.
I find him fantastic entertainment in what is a pretty dull league at the moment.
Nobody said he's a poor manager, he's the one letting himself down, he's crumbling under the weight of bad results, that's never a good sign.
And yeah he's fantastic entertainment right now, for us, not for chelsea.
Apparently Mendes has been feeling out psg and inter. If psg have sense they would not sack Blanc but you never know, the owners want the champions league.
Mancini has been doing a half decent job rebuilding inter and they don't have the money Jose likes to spend.

Conte might be after the Euros.
I heard Monaco were sounding him out.
Doubt that will happen for many reasons but the main one is this: http://talkingtikitaka.co.uk/2015/08/analysing-monacos-new-transfer-strategy/
I don't think Mourinho will ever return to a club that employs this kind of Porto inspired strategy. He will go to another club where he can spend at will. I highly doubt he can replicate the kind of work he did at Porto transfer wise. Those were special circunstancies that i doubt he will face again now that he reached the top as an established manager.
Not going well for him again today is it! OK tonight isn't such a disaster. It's a tough away game and it's only the league cup but it's still not going to do the squad any good.
I'm not sure if he's playing a strong team or not? But it goes to show that even in depth they don't have the answer. And that for Chelsea must be a worry!

Quite strong:
Begovic
Zouma - Cahill - Terry - Baba
Ramires - Mikel
Willian - Oscar - Hazard
Costa
Costa got injured fairly early though.
Would love to play Chelsea now.
Yeah Chelsea do not have any sort of squad depth since two seasons now. Jose is playing his strongest squad available apart from the LB.
Think they'll be up for Liverpool and Jose seems to have a good record against them.
Then Chelsea will lose the next game.

Actually dippers are the last tough game for quite a while. All chance of going on a run of form if they can avoid defeat in the next game.Think they'll be up for Liverpool and Jose seems to have a good record against them.

Don't think any apgame can be seen as easy for Chelsea atm.
Haven't we been saying that about Chelsea all season?! I'm not sure they've had the toughest of fixtures so far... Though I also wouldn't say they've had it easy.
Wow OK that is a pretty strong team. I mean Baba wasn't a cheap signing and surely he signed him to compete for the first team? I find it pretty remarkable that he signed those two unknown CBs and yet isn't playing either of them? Though I believe one went straight back out on loan?
Matter of perspective really. All the games drawn/lost have been to solid teams, not great teams but good teams none the less. The teams coming up now are just shite till United away on 28th Dec.
Well I just meant that he is not our best LB and Azpi is available to play, in reply to your question.
Those two CBs are crap, one bought for loan farm and other as an insurance policy for a long term injury. Dont think either have any chance of a career at Chelsea.
I think I'm the only Utd fan that actually likes Mourinho and doesn't want him to get sacked.
You are also rooting for Falcao now. Are you sure you arent a Chelsea fan?
