Was hoping Moyes or Brentan would take over the Chelsea hotseat
Mourinho sacked
- Thread starter SilentWitness
- Start date
Guardiola and Mourinho will become managers of both Manchester clubs IMO, which club lands which is a different matter.
One thing he would definitely be down on the touchline and it would be more difficult for him to disappear down the tunnel before the end of a game.
He said that in the past but i doubt it will happen. First he has this love affair with England that he can´t stop talking about it. Second aslong Ronaldo is playing he won´t be our NT manager for sure. Third, portuguese FA will offer him 1/3 of what the english FA can offer. He will go for the money and the most ambitious project. Sentimental talk doesn´t work with Mourinho.
Only after Ronaldo retires
I think this will hurt Chelsea more than it will help them, the club is floundering at the moment.
I don't know who Chelsea are going to look forward to instead of Jose - he should have been given him more time honestly. The players have been unimaginably shit.

Bit surprised tbf.
Chelsea won't find better manager when the team is actually listening him, but it looks like he completely lost it with everyone. They probably thought he couldn't fix his relationship with the players so they fired him.
As much as I dislike him, the players must be responsible for all this equally as him, IMO, and should at least be fined.
If you told me few months ago I wouldn't laugh at him and enjoy that he is sacked, I would never believe it, because I absolutely hated him before, but this season I have no idea what to think about him. Even though he did nothing praise worthy to change my opinion of him. Weird.
Btw, his reputation is definitely ruined a lot during his last two jobs, he pretty much failed to deliver expectations at both Madrid and Chelsea. I wonder what his next job will be and how will he do? PSG maybe as the safest option? He can win 2 or 3 domestic titles with them and it won't be considered as fail.

Forget Mourinho going to City, it just won't happen while Txiki Begiristain runs the football side of the club.
A history of success at that particular club. It will always lead to more slack being cut. As it stands it still isn't a particularly harsh sacking. He didn't look like turning it around at all.
One of them still has a job?
Yes. Please do tell.
Knowing him he would have the tunnel moved.
Amazing that Guardiola, Ancelotti and Mourinho are all pretty much on the market.
I'd still take him over Lvg anyday.
Gus Hiddink until the end of the season would be great. Perfect caretaker to cuddle the weak willed players until next season when we can sort this out.
Obviously Mourinho has doing shite this season but I think he has done enough for that club to at least be given time to try and fix the situation. Obviously for the Chelsea board one bad season for a guy who has brought them 3 titles in 6 seasons.
Chelsea should have let him have this bad season and see how he does next season IMO.
He shouldn't have subbed John Terry. Nobody is bigger than JT.
He would bring some passion and maybe get a bit of nastiness into our players. They are too nice.
Aw, not fair. We haven't played shit Chelsea yet. A new manager will tighten them up, I am sure. Pretty much always happens.
ding dong the witch is dead!
In all fairness his players are an absolute disgrace.

I think it´s a bit irrelevant Chelsea having Mourinho or not. You still have Van Gaal as manager either way
The sacking isn't anywhere near as funny as this :
Its december ffs. Even if the season was a write off so what.
Hes still one of the worlds top managers. They have already sacked Ancelotti as well and it seems unlikely they will get pep. So where do they go from here.
This would be like United sacking Ferguson in the mid 90's for a few bad months. As i said bonkers.
This. Watch their players suddenly rediscover their form.
I can see Jose going to P$G if Blanc doesn't go far in the Champions League.
Considering Rafa and Pep will likely be off the number of top clubs seeing new managers in one season will be pretty unprecedented surely
@Sly any leak in the Portuguese press about the player from Chelsea who leaked to Porto their formation? That would be interesting to know who's the cnut and he really deserved to be banned from football. But for another side I like to see Mourinho failing 
What I though first. They will be alive again.
I was hoping they would wait a while, there is no way a new guy could possibly do worse than him
Pep, Jose and Ancelotti all available in the summer. This can't possibly end badly for us.
oh wait...
oh wait...
Via the offy, time for some strong whiskey in a darkened room to ponder it all.
He was melting down every week, dragging the clubs name through the dirt, players were picking fights all the time and he had created a really toxic atmosphere in the team. LVG has not done this and has a unified dressing room. Its just his tactics that are restricting the team. The only way to fix it for Mourinho was to replace the whole squad, he wasn't willing to do this without spending millions (Not giving youth a chance). I hate the players right now but he needed to be sacked.
Gutted to be honest. Watching him flounder has been one of the highlights of a mental season and has felt like uncharted territory. Where does he go next? Who replaces him? Is the timing re Guardiola just coincidental? Might he replace LvG if we keep playing poorly? Questions, questions.
Must be a sweet feeling for Ranieri to know he delivered the killing blow on Monday.
He has lost the dressing room because of his work methods. If the players don't wanna play under you, you gotta go.
It can be. If almost none of the player wants to play for you, you won't try to hold on to job. He maybe getting some compensation but this time mutual consent is much more likely than first time around at Chelsea."Mutual consent"
