Good god this is like an episode of a soap opera. Sick of it tbh.

It's all well and good saying that but Jose should have made major changes ages ago but didn't, he could have given himself more of a chance if he didn't just go with same old selections. After a game like Southampton he should have was where I was resigned to the fact that he was leaving soon. He didn't seem to have a plan B and always went with the guys who were letting him down. I'm not saying the players are blameless because clearly we do have issues with some 'bad apples', but Jose surely could have done more to nullify them and bring through some promising youngsters like RLC who has been treated appallingly by Jose, constantly promised starts and minutes only to be left out of the squad altogether. Bertrand Traore being another, brought on against Bournemouth and I am willing to bet that was enough for Jose to say 'meh not good enough, I'll keep playing Oscar/ Hazard'. I love Jose, and what he's done for the club but this season has been an absolute disgrace and he's been a huge part of the black cloud hanging over the club. His press conferences tired me out to the point of screaming SHUT THE FUCK UP and the tv, and he just wouldn't change the formula despite everyone publicly saying what the problems were. With that being said, I don't think there will be many changes on Sat if the current coaches take charge or if Hiddink is there, they will go for the same sort of team, maybe throwing RLC in there for some fan relief and someone to rally behind but besides that I see it being another outing for the likes of Brana, Oscar, Fabregas etc...

Ex-Chelsea striker Mateja Kezman says Guss Hiddink has told him he'll be the new Chelsea manager. #cfc [Eurosport]

From Sky Sports News: EVA CARNEIRO DISPUTE SET FOR SETTLEMENT Jose Mourinho's sacking today has opened the door for a possible return to Stamford Bridge for Eva Carneiro. It's understood a number of senior players remain upset at the way in which the popular club doctor left the club. She remains out of work and still lives close to the Chelsea training ground in Cobham. Lawyers for all side are due to come face-to-face on January 6 ahead of a potential full employment tribunal in June. Last month Carneiro lodged claims for sex discrimination against Jose - claims which Jose is still liable for despite his departure from the club. Carneiro also claimed reinstatement at the club along with personal injury compensation and aggravated damages from the club. And SSN has leant that today was a significant day in the legal process that’s underway between Jose, Chelsea and Eva Carneiro. Chelsea and Jose had 49 days to register their defence against those claims – and as things stand, we understand that no defence (or ET3 form as it is known) has been lodged with the tribunal from either Jose or the club – and neither have asked for an extension. They have until midnight to lodge their defence. ( Not yesterday as has been reported). It’s difficult at this stage to conclude what happens now. But certainly Chelsea’s lack of activity would suggest that the stand-off between the two sides may now be over – and Chelsea may look to settle the 5-month dispute in the coming weeks.

ChelsTransfer ‏@ChelsTransfer 2m2 minutes ago Guus Hiddink is in London [to be appointed on a surprise - interim contract - just like the previous and the next one under Abramovich] Di Marzio reporting this now...only a matter of time I think.

I wonder when the new interim manager will be announced, if they want him in the dugout saturday it should be soon..

Not sure if this is gonna upset but here goes... I assume there will be a massive fan backlash from this game. Now I do understand free speech and all that jazz but what in the grand scheme of things would it achieve? We've already had such a toxic black cloud over our club this season, partly due to Jose himself, and I don't want it to carry on. It may sound naive to say so but I think if its Hiddink (and I hope it is, he was excellent last time and handled himself brilliantly) then we should get behind Guus (even if you can't get behind the players) and give him support to get Chelsea back to where they should be this season.

A true fan here. Don't bother coming back with that attitude. Chelsea is bigger than any player/manager, even Jose.

I bet those players who underperformed will be childishly flicking each others ears and messing about on saturday, just like when AVB went.

I feel numb. Here we go again..

Breaking: Chelsea considering Juande Ramos as interim manager if José Mourinho is sacked (Times) #CFC Daniel Storey ‏@danielstorey85 2m2 minutes agoRamos did really well with Dnipro. Abramovich and Dnipro president are buddies. It does make some sense.

Mourinho: "It's difficult for me to accept & if I was a player it wouldn't happen this way. Maybe they don't feel Chelsea the same as I do"

I thought he did well tonight considering the circumstances.

Jose Mourinho says Eden Hazard made the decision himself "in 10 seconds" to come off with an injury. That'll go over well with Hazard. #CFC Jose: "I feel like my work was betrayed (by the players)" (via @JimProudfoot) Yes Jose Yes Fuuuucking hell. Surely he's going right?

Mourinho: "When you have players, especially in crucial positions, knowing they are not at their level, it is very difficult.” #LEICHE Has a place in the top four gone now for Chelsea? Mourinho: "Clearly, yes." #LEICHE Mourinho: 'All last season I did phenomenal work + I brought them to a level more than they really are. Or this season we are doing so bad.

Absolutely spineless, those fans were amazing tonight! Well done to those three.

I am so sick to death of this. We started playing only because Leicester took their foot off the break. Same old problems with no solution, we were outplayed, outfought and outclassed by Leicester City, They are everything we are not. I'm sure Jose has got his excuses. The first half was gutless, the second half only improved due to what I said earlier. We got what we deserved like we have all season. Ugh. I hate this. I want to cry.

No ideas. No creativity. No leadership. No core. No points. No goals. Fuck off.

You can say what you want about Jose but those players should be FUCKING ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES FOR THAT TURGID FIRST HALF PERFORMANCE. Those players are more than good enough to take the game to Leicester and what do we get? Passing around like they're on the fucking training ground, no desire to win the game like we're playing a friendly, and at the end of the first half, instead of trying to get to score, we are playing around like we're FUCKING 5-0 UP WITH 1 MINUTE TO GO. FUCK OFF BOYS, This is an absolute disgrace of a performance. GUTLESS.

I can see this whole RLC thing biting us on the arse in a few years with him playing for a rival club. Yay. Other than that good team, happy Cesc is benched. Lowest expectations for this one. Come on Chelsea.

WILLIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN GIVE THAT MAN PLAYER OF THE SEASON NOW. FUCKING GET IN!!

Much better football there between Oscar and Willian. So rare this season..

Costa you absolute prick! Why do that?! Why not focus on actually playing well and scoring you mug!

Great tackle by Oscar there tracking back.
