He can't surely be reporting him for that, the only thing I can think he's suggesting he's done is stand on his foot or elbow him in his balls.
Jose Mourinho Sack Watch

Unfortunate if they sack him for this because I thought they were unlucky not to get something from the game, but then again a loss is a loss.
Not sure who they'd go for though if they do get rid, probably someone for the rest of the season (Moyes) and then throw millions at Pep or Simeone for next season which may be bad news for us.

The U.S or Portugal national teams.
My guess is he stays, just a guess. I think they have to revive, you see the signs, too many decent players not to end up in 6th or 7th place at the end of the season. But unless there is major change at the club I don't see them back at the top table anytime soon. I think Mou is frustrated about what went on in the summer, spend wise. I think the Eva thing pissed off the players. I think there has been crazy stuff in the dressing room - all this 'stick together' stuff from Mou, very unlike him, tells volumes. He must have lost it in there, more than once. The fans have been amazing, to be fair, although I hear a lot of sour notes now as you might expect in the fan forums. A huge amount depends on the sugar daddy now. Is his heart still in it?
Chelsea and Stoke, a match made in heaven.
Yes, thats the reporter. Guus hiddink, to steady the ship? He's a personal friend of Roman and wont mind. I really cant see a way back for Jose. People assume things will get better, its possible that it just gets worse.
We only had to pay Moyes 4.5m and he had 5 years on his contract I think.
I cant see what Costa did wrong there, looks more like the steward hit out at Costa.
Could he possibly be trying to get sacked?
Obviously Costa bent over with malicious intent!
I know he's a dick but that's ridiculous if true.
For stamping on his foot I think. But I don't know, don't see anything worthy of a ban or fine in it.
Do you want Mourinho gone? Hiddink did a royal fecked up job with Holland n
Well it look like their board choose our root for sacking manager.
He will not sack until that petty clear he has no chance to save the season (or achieve targets), or fans stop singing his name.

Nope. It would not shock me to see him gone by tomorrow though.
As for Hiddink, him having a shitty year with Holland is pretty meaningless in terms of his ability to steady the ship at Chelsea. He's done it before.
To get to 65 points, Chelsea need to win 16, draw 6 and lose 4 of the remaining 26 PL games: It will take close to championship winning form til the end of the season for Chelsea to simply make the top 4.
Its getting very very close to decision time for Abromovich:
- If he wants to have a go at top 4, he will have to sack Mourinho, get in someone new and hope for a bounce that inspires the quality of the squad to get into gear.
- He can write of the season, but the does he want Mourinho in charge of the rebuild in the summer? If not simply keep Mourinho until a suitable candidate is identified and can be persuaded to join.
- Else, fully back Mourinho, give his loads of cash in the January transfer window, and he needs to suck it in.

Steady the ship? The question is why is one of the proclaimed best managers in the world struggling to steady the ship? This is what I'm really struggling to understand here. Mourinho is a brilliant winner, but it seems when he's under fire he is clueless! He really has no idea how to act/behave/handle etc etc a poor run of form. It's lead to him constantly blaming everybody but himself and the players are clearly sick of it IMO.

Do they really need a rebuild? Only their defense needs one imo. They still have a lot of very good players.
Surely not a coincidence anymore. The last 3 squads Mourinho has managed have all massively declined after 2 seasons of Mourinho. I know people like to poke fun at Benitez for the Inter debacle but I'm 100 % positive that squad was going downhill anyway and Mourinho just jumped ship at the right time.
The only manager i'd like to see replacing Mourinho is Simeone. Everyone else is a step down, some miniscule some large.
At this rate they'll soon start looking like step ups.
Roman likes cska manager, i have read in various chelsea forum. Then there is guardiola who might be available at end of season. Mancini will be available if roman wants.Rodgers is available, ancelotti will be at end of season. Maybe even conte. He just has to decide if keeping mou till the end of season is better or letting him go and try for the top 4 now. I think it mainly depends on what players feel and how they would be qithout mou. Would hazard/pedro/fabregas perform better without him? if so well then mou should be let go.
A couple of his players have gone over the hill/lost their hunger at the same time.
Terry's done for, Cahill's found out (and where never good when exposed anyway), Ivanovic's been awful.
Matic/Fabregas are happy with their league win and aren't bothered.
Hazard very much the same.
End result is their key players are performing much worse and Mourinho is clueless as to stop his first really poor period in management.

If Mourinho goes then Hiddink would be ideal till the end of the season. His man management is great and exactly what we need at the moment. His attitude as well would be the perfect antidote to Mourinho's behaviour this season. Then in the summer we can either go for somebody else or keep him until other targets are available.
I think they do.
It's not like they're scoring loads, their entire attacking plan seems to consist of Willian set pieces or own goals.
Not sure why you think that, not saying he's not good but it's stretching the imagination thinking everyone else would be a step down.
Fact is Chelsea have maybe sacked too mangers to ever stand a chance of getting Pep, Klopp would have been perfect for you guys but the timing was just wrong, why you ever sacked Ancelotti is beyond me, and rightly he should tell you to do one if you came knocking again, maybe your best bet is just staying as you are.
If not you could do worse than take on Rodgers and just give him some proper time to give it a good go, he could well have learnt from some of his failings at Liverpool, and with proper help in the transfer market he could do pretty well after a while imo.
Costa is a cnut, but that steward is an absolute tool if he reported that. 
The Steward reacted like a tosser. Looked like he wanted a fight with Costa.Costa is a cnut, but that steward is an absolute tool if he reported that.
Mourinho should've been gotten rid of weeks ago. It was already clear that things were coming apart and regardless of what people are thinking now, they're in a relegation battle. When you're a few points above Bournemouth and Villa, you're in prime position to go down. Chelsea need to sign at least a top CB and RB and who is going to join them now?
But hey, it helps us...Come on, United!
But hey, it helps us...Come on, United!
No, they're not. They'll struggle to make top 4, not top 8.
Their performances are picking up again. They deserved to win that Stoke game by a few goals, Hazard was imperious, and it is a matter of time before they turn a corner. Top 8 is a definite, considering that there is no way they won't get January signings.
BBC: Mourinho retains Roman Abramovich's support
Chelsea manager still retains the support of Blues owner Roman Abramovich and his position is not under immediate threat
José Mourinho
The Blues lost at Stoke on Saturday with Mourinho absent as he served a one-game stadium ban. The defeat was Chelsea's seventh in 12 Premier League games and leaves them three points above the relegation zone in 16th place. Mourinho's side face Norwich at Stamford Bridge on 21 November.
The last time Chelsea lost seven of their opening 12 games in a top-flight season was in 1978-79 when they were relegated. Mourinho, who signed a new four-year contract in August, thanked Abramovich for his support in October following a defeat at home by Southampton.
However, since then Chelsea have continued to struggle as they have lost three of their four top flight games and been knocked out of the League Cup on penalties, also at Stoke. Mourinho, who has said the club will have to sack him if they want to get rid of him as he will not resign, has also had his disciplinary problems. The 52-year-old was given a one game stadium ban and fine for his behaviour towards the match officials during Chelsea's 2-1 defeat at West Ham on 24 October. Mourinho also had his appeal against a £50,000 fine and a suspended one-game stadium ban dismissed by the Football Association.
The Portuguese received the charge for comments made after his team's defeat by Southampton where he said officials were afraid to award Chelsea a penalty. In addition to his disciplinary problems with the FA, the Portuguese has been criticised for his treatment of former Chelsea doctor Eva Carneiro. Carneiro was dropped from first-team duties after Mourinho said she was "naive" for treating Eden Hazard during the opening-day draw at home to Swansea. She has since left Chelsea and Mourinho is to be the subject of individual legal action from Carneiro, who is also suing the Stamford Bridge club for constructive dismissal.

No way. That would require a awful lot of collusion with the players.
And, more importantly... Mourinho may be negative with his football and failing to adapt to new challenges at the moment, but he surely isn't a loser. He strikes me as someone incredibly proud of his achievements, and, judging by the football he plays some times, overly obsessed with results (by overly, I mean too afraid to lose, to the point of it being counter-productive, i.e. PSG last year).
I think he's a bit like Ronaldo in a managerial way. Obsessed with his win-rate, with his results, and with his legacy. Much more with what anyone thinks of his style of football or personality. In terms of results his career had been nearly flawless up until this point. Not only in what he won (superb rate of winning leagues, only manager to win every domestic competition in 4 different leagues, 3 European titles, 2 of which with a massive underdog), but also in the way that he didn't won: He never had a disastrous season in his career. You almost have to redefine what a "poor season" means to even call one of his (full) seasons poor. His first trophy-less season came in 2013-14, 12 years into his career, which was also the only season he finished below 2nd place in a league. He never failed to qualify a team for the Champions League.
Only Guardiola can boast of a similarly effective career, but with less variation it can be seen by some (certainly by Mourinho) as less significant.
I wouldn't believe for a second that someone so successful and result-oriented as Mourinho would voluntarily abdicate of that almost unique legacy and bring in a disastrous season for the sake of a pay-out which isn't even guaranteed.
Klopp is too much of a hit and miss. In this league he could easily end up lower than 6th multiple seasons in a row (he could obviously win a couple of titles), but he can not guarantee anything. His Dortmund record is far from spectacular and a lot of his failures get over looked as people tend to focus on the positives as he plays attacking football.
Rodgers is basically a poor mans Klopp, he has no where near the personality to manage a high profile club. If he can fall out with mediocre players at the dippers then just imagine how he will fare in a dressing room with Terry, Costa, Hazard and Fabregas.
Guardiola is someone who can guarantee success at Chelsea but he would need a huge investment, which is unlikely to happen given the £500m stadium expenditure. Only Mourinho and Simeone can guarantee trophies consistently on a moderate budget, they do this by compromising on the quality of football I assume. None the less it works for Chelsea.
What?
Yeah, I mean going forward. Also, like he did at Porto and Inter.
Not what he did at Chelsea v01 or Real.

He didn't spend moderately at inter at all, it's a myth helped by undoubtedly a brilliant season. Spent a lot of money on an already champion side. Even at Porto, they were relatively big spenders domestically but I can give you that.
Wut?? After the Ibra sale, they were net positive for 2009-10 season.
Average spend of €20m per season with a team that was never even close to reaching a eurpoean sf let alone winning something.
Infact even at Real, there is a case to be made that he was spending moderately. Given that his average spend over 3 seasons was around €40m a year, which is extremely modest by Real's standards.
So essentially, the only time he had crazy spending was at his first two seasons at Chelsea v01.
Last season dippers spent £40m (€55m) net. Its still not in the same ball park. Not to mention they have been spending similar amount over the last several years.
