Mourinho sacked

I'm sure they could hold talks with him to replace LVG at the end of the season because I don't see any top manager free next summer.
Yeah, but you worded it like we have passed up on the opportunity to hire him already.
 
Stop being daft. Mourinho has just won the league and is your most successful manager of all time.

It's hardly even close to the same thing.
LVG has been average, Mourinho has been up and down. Pretty much the same. I also don't give a shit about things that happened a decade ago. So his past wins with us hold little value for the here and now.
 
Knew this would come in useful :D

The final ignominy of player power! No fan of Chelsea but what an absurd way to treat a top manager. Players are now so untouchable it's pathetic. They're ruining the English game and it's time the FA and Players association got a grip.
Has there been any evidence of this supposed player power though? Find it hard to believe players would deliberately underperform. Their careers are also on the line. Many of them are competing for national team places for this year's Euro. I don't believe it.
 
I'd take him, yes he is a short term manager but who isn't these days?
Gone are the days where a manager will stay at a top level club for much more than 4-5 years.
Yes he comes with baggage and controversy but he is almost guaranteed short term success and that controversy is viewed differently for the most part when the person causing it is on your side.
And let's be honest here it can't get much worse than the dross we are being served up every week right now, at least with him if the football isn't entertaining he will be.

A lot of them play for international sides where their places wouldn't be under threat no matter what.
 
Maybe the players deserved it. The poor little darlings.
lol?
Mourinho deserves to get sacked. He has caused a similar situation twice before. This time the results are horrible as well. He has burnt too many bridges I think.

He had Chelsea playing some great football early last season, he is capable of it.
 
I think...Blanc will go to Real, and Mourinho to PSG this summer.
 
I was surprised by the number of people who kept saying that Chelsea should just write off this season and keep him, I just don't think that any big club would do that in modern football.

Maybe he did, but these players won the league last season, they are just as culpable.

Do you really need evidence with all that it´s happening? The Hazard injury story, Mourinho´s press conference comments about some players, the overwhelming majority of Chelsea fans thinking the same? The type of effort and performance of key players after the same players won the league and the league cup last year. You can understand them not being at the top but fighting relegation? It´s obvious Mourinho has responsability in this but the players aren´t blameless and played a big part in Chelsea´s downfall

You won the title last season.

Btw I'm not slagging Chelsea off for this, I might not agree with it if I were a Chelsea fan, but you can see why they have.
 
Surprised that after the last 3 months that Chelsea have had we don't have a shed end goes into meltdown thread

7 months ago, not a decade.
 
Impressive that they got him to go by mutual consent. Imagine how big the fire clause would have been in his brand new contract!
