No changes from Jose...lol. This season will be shite, I can't wait until this nightmare of a season just ends.

[the wes 7,212]

i cant understand mourinho and the board we need new players in the squad big time but they will continue on buying players and loan them out to other clubs

[Milan 17,835]

Will people ever, ever learn? Never trust Mou when it comes to transfer markets. He is like a woman - saying A, thinking B, doing C.

[ZanSnake 1,211]

Might be a typical move to not undermine dressing room or let media play up. Nice to see some positivity from Jose. Hopefully first step in the right direction.

[Laylabelle 9,292]

Lets hope we are smiling like that come 4:45pm tomorrow. About time we had a fucking real good showing from this lot, time to start moving on, and quickly.

And not be a one off...had enough of 'oooo we're going to go on a run now' then next game..'oh look we've lost again'..then again...and again.A win a month is dire...

Top 4?!We aint even got out the bottom half yet..hopefully this is the lying Jose moment.....

headline doesnt match what was said...what a surprise

[nullabletype 987]

Vote of confidence huh?

So basically if we lose next game, he's gone.

Aye, just like the last vote of confidence he got where he'd be gone soon after, and yet...

Roman Abramovich believes Jose Mourinho can turn it around at Chelsea, says owner's key aide

According to Emelano, Guus Hiddink aside, the board always wanted to keep managers for the the long term, so they were actually thinking about giving Benitez the job?

Actually Mourinho has always been pretty outspoken about transfers. Back in 2007 they came up with is famous eggs and omeletes sentence. 2014 he was complaining about the lack of a top striker.

If you read the Emelano interview, he also said the club believe this players can turn things around and in the "official" vote of confidence the club made it clear: Mourinho has the right players to turn thing around. Really doubt there will be big transfers in the january market.

[Gilvorak 3,734]

I laughed for a good minute there. But seriously, a fraud? Look I too don't believe keeping Mourinho years to come is the best solution but to call him fraud when he made us champions last season? And we spent on hardly anything last transfer window? Nah man, just nah.

Exactly why he's a chequebook manager. Wenger got Top 4 with absolute trash. Fergie the same. He can't develop players and his system is too reliant on individuality.

I doubt it as they were sounding out Mourinho very early once they realised RdM was not going to be up to the task for a season long league and CL campaign.

[Adnane 1,101]

Of course he'll say "we always gave the managers a real crack at it", do you want him to say the truth and look like an ass ?

Results mattered at that point in time, once we got our Champions League, as Emenalo said, we could afford those bad results, but not with RDM, not with Benitez, with the right manager, and the board believes José is the right manager, simple logic.

Lose today and he won't be in charge in January. This really is a crunch game today and Norwich won't just rollover and why should they when we've been beaten by Palace, Southampton and Liverpool at the Bridge. If he thinks that this current squad can make the top four when confidence and form are at an all time low well he's saying the right things but can anyone honestly see that happening?.

Mourinho has been given the vote of confidence but that means fuck all and anyone who thinks Roman won't make changes if results don't improve past history dictates he will. Anyone other then Mourinho would have been shown the door months ago. All I want today is 11 geezers playing for the shirt and showing they give a shit then bad results I can take.

[Barbara 15,149]

According Brazilian commentator - who has talked to the Brazilian players - the squad is unhappy with Mourinho because it seems he says different things to them than to the media.

[chelseafan26 293]

Needed - any manager who knows what positions the players play in and actually plays them in that position.

[Adnane 1,101]

He took huge risks in this game, I don't think people will state that ( as usual ), but we are pressing all the way up top and our midfield is compromised, am I against that ? Absolutely not, we need the dub, and we need a serie of them.
