You sir, have a gift.
I was making fun of Sam's claims that he was as good as any top manager and should be given a job at United or Real Madrid.
Well an emergency meeting has been called as per the papers(mail and the sun). I think its not if but when he will be sacked. I hope soon, then we should also let Van gaal go. I wont mind mou as our manager.
He won't be sacked.
Then maybe Van Gaal can go manage Chelsea and we can all play together at Stamford Trafford.
Contracts dont work like that, it will cost him lot less as it will be a "mutual decision". 40 million might be the value of the contract, there are clauses iin it. I am sure if not we would have paid moyes about 50 million which we did not, we paid him a sum of about 7 million, i'd assume that is close to what Jose will get.
I cant see them making the top half with him, but I'm also starting to think he wont be sacked.
Not, because they have amazing support of him, but simply because they made a huge mistake of giving him such a massive contract. Their Rooney moment perhaps.
Maybe Roman does not want to send him with a 36M or 40M cheque.
But if Chelsea have let Jose sign the contract without a "You get nothing if you take the team to relegation" clause, then all I can say is 
They paid out almost 15 mil to AVB.
Now imagine Mourinho, their greatest ever manager, having just won the league, loved by every woman and child at the Bridge. He's bargaining position is likely to be so much stronger. Moyes didnt really have a strong bargaining position. In essence that's what drives clauses contracts. Bargaining power.
There's zero way a Mendes client having just won the league would sign a contract of 4 years with such an unfavourable clause just 4 months into it.
Even without clauses, the manager usually agrees to be bought out of the contract for a lot less, at least if he wants to work anywhere else sometime soon. He can't sign a new contract before this one is terminated after all.
In theory, if for example PSG want to sign Mourinho for next season, Chelsea could demand a transfer fee to let him join them. I doubt that'll happen if Chelsea wants him to leave now, but there'll be a mutual agreement unless Mourinho takes a 4 year vacation from football.
How did it come to this?I'm loving it.He signed a new deal after winning the league?

Bye bye jose
Looks like, his future will be decided either way. I think he will be gone before saturday. From champions to being sacked, what a journey!
It was this season, just before the Swansea game(opening game)
There was a lot of talk about continuity and future success at the time too.
Who would come in? Ancelloti?
My dream of John Terry as player-manager for the remainder of the season?

My mate's a Chelsea fan (Jesus, how RAWK is that) - he'd be absolutely devastated if they sack Mourinho. I hope they do sack him so I can bathe in his tears.
Signed a new four year deal this August.
Hope they keep him. Partly for the fun of looking at their mess and partly because football cannot continue with this nonsense of players deciding when the manager goes.
Was Mourinho the first man to manage Chelsea since your mate started following them?
On one hand it would be hilarious if he got sacked, who do they turn to to get them out of this mess?
On the other hand I don't want him to get sacked, he's doing so astonishingly bad I want it to keep going.

Fair points, but it still comes back to the bargaining power issue.
I dont Jose will get the full 40m, but he wont be getting the measly sums Moyes got.
Because its Chelsea are the ones that are unilaterally breaking the contract, they are the ones in breach. Jose has no incentive to agree to a low settlement, and neither does Mendez. Thus Chelsea have to offer him a reasonable sum. He cant sit on his arse for 4 years either , so there's that.
From those two different positions, they'll need to reach an agreement. That Jose has a strong bargaining position means that the amount will be higher than what AvB got for example. I can see him getting a 20 plus mil settlement.
I definitely don't want him to get sacked. He's lost the dressing room and chances are their form will change dramatically once he's gone. Last thing I want is a new manager effect in place when United play them later this month.
Id be amazed if he isn't sacked, all the shit with the club doctor, a terrible league position and an obvious falling out with the players its impossible to turn this around.
If Chelsea fire him unilaterally, why should he settle for anything less than full amount?? I didnt get the bolded part. If he is fired, he can take any new job and also the 40M right?
Of course not. That would be proper mental. If he wants the full pay, he has to sit out his contract while being suspended from work. He can't take a new job unless the contract is terminated.
Clubs don't fire managers in the sense of tearing up the contract and dealing with the consequences later. They suspend managers and negotiate the contract termination unless there are clauses in the contract, that deal with everything.
I think most contracts pays until you get a new job.
Ok.. Get it.
Who would follow Chelsea down if they were to be relegated though? Or would all the players jump ship?
Apparently Fabricio Coloccini is the favourite to replace him.
Possibly, heh. I avoid talking to him about football for the most part because he can't have a normal conversation about United. His immediate family members support West Ham, Liverpool, City and Leeds so it's hardly surprising I suppose
If he gets the sack, Man Utd should get him right away. Would probably win the league with him this season.
I'd avoid him at the moment, despite my enthusiasm in the past. Going through a very poor patch at the moment.
Not sure what's funny. He's showed outstanding leadership at NewcastleHas to be some kind of joke that.... surely
Dismissal of their best ever manager after one poor season, so Chelsea like.

What on earth. Hope this is true just for the banter
