That's very good news, indeed, friend. I think Shevchenko is a personal friend of Abramovich, finally his former purchase pays off. Shevchenko showing his true colour, blue through and through. The timing seems perfect! Who knows it better than one of his former players? I have seen Shevchenko at Stamford Bridge in recent times, i like the idea of him being an adviser to Abramovich. Now bring the presser on, need to back our coach and send a statement to these fuckers from DailyFail and so on. We protect and take care of our own (when they stay put). Nowadays, that's the Chelsea way. :blue scalf:

I don't think that Mourinho has lost his way. A bad spell is nothing good, that makes us turn against each other. Maybe Mourinho can't turn it around, even if, he is (for me) still one of the best coaches in the world and his knowledge of football is incredible. When you take that away, it's difficult to replace, i know there exist other good coaches, but to find another one as good as Jose Mourinho isn't a simple job. Ancelotti made us play good attacking football and winning some trophies, but only short-term. Scolari (world cup champion) and Villas-Boas (Europa-League winner) weren't able to deliver anything. Di Matteo won us two big trophies, but he couldn't rebuild and evolve, that's something Mourinho is better at, but he is no god, sometimes he struggles too. Sad, but if the time ever comes, i would like to get someone young like Villas-Boas, but less arrogant (didn't use Drogba to prove a point, lol). Maybe Thomas Tuchel can get the job done, he is tactically fantastic, fresh and gives good talents a chance, look at Weigl and guys like Mkhitaryan or Gundogan are back on track again. Especially Mkhitaryan is now able to score goals, maybe he can do the same with Willian, who clearly has the abilities. But that's for the future, today i pray that Jose Mourinho will turn it around.

Some decisions took a lot a lot of time, maybe Hazard, Fabregas and Ivanovic (before his injury) could have been benched earlier.But now, he is more ruthless, Matic, Hazard, Fabregas they are all feeling the heat now, their place has been put under the microscope. In my point of the view, the overall style of play is evolving and getting better, yes, the setbacks aren't over yet, sometimes they hit us very hard. I prefer to look at the positive aspects and getting a draw against Newcastle after being 2 down or taking the lead against Pool isn't so bad. Yes, the player's mentality hasn't been fully restored yet, but we're getting there. Long story short: Mourinho does make the necessary changes at least now, the team is getting better at scoring goals, yes, the organisation needs to get better quickly, but overall i can see clear signs of improvement. What else could you expect? More controll and a constant killing spree, but i cut Mourinho some slack, because we aren't talking about a machine, which you simply can turn on or off. If we're that bad during boxing day, the outcome will be different, then we have to analyse the situation very carefully and maybe Mourinho should get the sack then. But we aren't there yet, therefore i continue with my support and trust towards the players and Mourinho.

We play bad, really bad, and yes, Mourinho did make some mistakes, i agree with you. But on the other side, we are the current Champions, so a bad spell must be allowed. United, Arsenal, City, Pool, they all would have loved to win the league, but they didn't. At the moment, we're at rock bottom, but it can only get better, not worse. One thing shouldn't happen in the future, entering the private room of the referee and picking up a fight, that's not okay. I don't think that Jose is currently one of the "worst" managers, he tries different things, because of that, he isn't becoming a bad manager, he is still the same guy as last season, only more adapting to losing, but not for long. The media should comply with objectivity and impartiality. They have lost their way with Chelsea and Jose, especially the tabloids, no matter what you think about them, they influence the opinions of a lot of people and what they are doing is wrong.

Personal statement: https://www.facebook.com/cescfabregas/?fref=nf Apparently the news put a lot of pressure on him. I agree with him, that apart from Chelsea whole England want to destabilize Chelsea and kick Mourinho out. We'll bounce back, more strongly than ever before, with Mourinho.

Today we have Champions-League matches, but all the Dailymail is going on about are Chelsea, Mourinho and Hazard. They care so much, they want him gone and a lot of guys are jumping on the bandwagon. The situation is bizarre, but staying by his side is really upsetting the newspapers, absolutely loving it. They know when Mourinho is gone Chelsea will become half the force they once were, better chances for winning something for the likes of Arsenal or Pool, but not going to happen any time soon, Abramovich would have fired Mourinho already if he wanted him gone. Let's stick together and steamroll Kiev.

I have a different opinion. Gary Neville criticises Van Gaal a lot, take a good look at his comments about his playing style. Paul Scholes acted similar, so do other players. Lampard left Chelsea and Mourinho, he went to City, so i don't think he is holding something back, i think he expresses his honest opinion. You can disagree with all these pundits and experts, but questioning their honest opinion without reasonable arguments seems a bit weak to me. I know you want to weaken their thoughts and strenghten yours, but you have to come up with something better before most people start believing it.

I'm hoping that Lamps can team up more often with Carragher and Neville in the future, they would make a nice threesome. In my opinion, Chelsea needs more pundits out there, Mourinho already addressed that lack of Ex-Chelsea players. Lampard is a smart guy, who is able to express himself very well, maybe i'm a bit biased, but for me he is much better than the likes of Henry or Scholes. They have to continue with him, offers great insight into the beautiful game.

Finally Chelsea has got his own pundit, Frank Lampard. He is doing a marvelous job, make a rewatch after Spurs vs. Aston Villa.

Perez would take him back in a heartbeat, hope that's not going to happen. Mourinho is one of the best coaches in the world, most Clubs would welcome him with open arms. Hope that it won't come to that, because he is one of us and here to stay, don't fuck it up Roman. Mourinho isn't a pussy like Favre and throws the towel when shit gets tough, he will fuck back, at least i hope so.

If Mourinho gets the sack, can't believe it, but i can't stop it... I think Capello wouldn't be too bad, especially short term. The man is a proven winner and he won't take shit from any player, moreover he has a good relationship with John Terry. He won't play pretty, but most likely we will end the season with a good shot at a cup, maybe CL, you never know. The moaning around here will continue, because he isn't fancy enough and some people always know best, fun times ahead of us, no matter what's going to happen...

I'm pretty much relieved that the club didn't fire him. Roman Abramovich seems to learn from his mistakes, that's how top class engineering works. Hope we can win against Kiev to be in a good position for the last game before the short break.

You missed one word not under "immediate" threat, i think the meaning is different. Otherwise i don't want him gone, so i'm quite happy about the news. Cheers.

I really admire you, always staying in this thread, no matter how disrespectful they get. Top qualities, hope you can keep up the good work.

Now we decide which title is more worth than the other?! Can we have a poll, because otherwise we can't agree on this! We already have a manager who is currently a REAL double winner, but in football we only talk about the next match, i see. How many doubles did Ancelotti win? If that's the most important part, why not keep Mourinho, oh i forgot, he isn't fancy anymore, the boys need a new toy...

I hope this is true. Maybe we can do it without Jose, but getting back to the top with Jose seems miles better to me. Keep him, as Jose said, it's very sad when some people lose their jobs, but the word schadenfreude doesn't exist without reason. Sad reading it on Chelsea communities, but that's how it is.

Today Mourinho made some changes, you can't criticize him for doing that. We shouldn't have lost, Pool were the better side, kudos to them. I don't want Mourinho gone, but maybe the board will pull the trigger now, but i don't think anyone could do it better. SAD SAD TIMES, CRYING....

Wtf did the referee do? Play as long as they get their goal? Disgusting...

Nice generalization, there is only black and white... Instead of finding a good argument to stick it to him you prefer to go down a different path. Difficult to beat him in a fair and square discussion, isn't it?! The dude already explained to you why he couldn't come up with the cash in time. Humanity isn't just a simple word... Anyway, i have just seen the new press conference and Mourinho looked calm and i liked his answers. He showed respect to Klopp, fair play. Can't wait till the match starts...

I don't like it when accusations were thrown around, i asked for a some proof and the one thing i get is search for yourself. I didn't make those claims, but it seems difficult for you to find it, so i leave it here. I don't want a personal battle before it gets messy. Regards.

Can you please back it up? When did i, blue_fox or others write such things? Yes, CMS was out of line, now he's banned, consequences happen in life.

Fair play to you for trying to use my own words against me. I'm a big fan of the coach and don't want him gone. But what i don't do is calling other people "Mourinho-Brigade" instead of getting into a thought-out debate. It's so much easier to throw out some accusations or a binary decision, no middle ground! Why not think about why Mourinho does something and paint a map and put some brain into it?! That's demanding, but then the criticism could be taken way more serious. Just some idea.

Some Chelsea fans calling others "Mourinho-Brigade", "talkMourinho", maybe next "Mourinho fanboys" and so on. There's already a big crack in the fanbase, instead of being united we are fighting our own, absolutely disgusting. Some time ago i joked with my "fighting a war" phrase, but it has become reality and it's getting worse every time i come in here. No matter what happens, whether Mourinho stays or goes, the "schadenfreude" will never leave. Take a good look at the "Kevin de Bruyne" thread, especially when the boy has had a good game. People will go freakin' nuts, and turn on one another like during a fucking outbreak. I don't want to imagine what will happen, if Mourino ever wins another Champions-League trophy with a different club. In recent times only Fernando Torres came close, but nowadays it's on another level. The end is near, Gooners must be absolutely loving the controversies around here, no matter what is about to happen, there will always be big fucking trouble. Don't know what to do. You can't please everybody, absolutely broken!

I'd rather wait and get some top player then settle for plan b,c or so on. There isn't always a player like Diego Costa available, don't want to have more follower on the pitch. Is a guy like John Stones possible in the winter market?! Personally i doubt it very much. If Falcao decides to leave, we will bring in another player, but otherwise, i'm skeptical. Apparently Mourinho thinks that Loftus-Cheek needs more time to develop, but i don't want to splash out ~25 Mio. Euros for a guy like Moutinho. It's tearing me apart, very difficult decision to make, luckily there is still time left till the window is going to open...
