  1. Come on, how old you guys are. You aren't certain of anything, we both know thats just what you wish. No one is going to donate 100 bucks, its not a game. We are discussing whats the best for the team, I don't think people here want to play this silly thing, when what you wish happen, someone who doesn't that to happen pay 100 bucks.
  2. Jose must be joking, unless he believes his team is playing decent football. Worst than results is the quality of football.
  3. I remember days ago I became really unpopular in this forum because I was the first to say Ancelotti had to leave, but to be honest I would be really happy if he returns.
  4. Mourinho must leave, but he deserve more than that dude. No one can question his CV.
  5. I think it was already embarrassing the line up: using full strength in early stage of League Cup. Things get worst when you realize the team had to play for 120 minutes and lost on penalties.
  6. Probably sell him back to Chelsea, to send a message.
  7. http://www.espnfc.com/chelsea/story/2684373/jose-mourinho-camp-talking-to-psg-and-inter-if-hes-sacked Already planning his post-Chelsea life.
  8. hmmm, it seems you have been around since 2011, did you use another name before "Pizy"?
  9. Getting the feeling he might leave even before Liverpool's game.
  10. No. West Ham is at top four at the moment. 28 games left.
  11. He will find a deal with the board. Probably will get less than the 30m, but he is a very smart man. He won´t risk damaging his myth. Mourinho´s status outside England is not as good as it used to be. If he gets fired due to bad results and poor tactics, his next club won't play the waiting game for that long if the results are not as good as they were supposed to be.
  12. If Mourinho doesn´t get the axe, he will resigns, eventually. Mourinho doesn't like a hostile enviroment. Despite press controversies, british media learned to love Mourinho, and most of the Mourinho's myth was created in England. Just think about the famous "special one" conference. There was nothing special in what he said, he just said he believed he was a special manager. Somehow those word became messianic, and soon he became the Special One. One of the reasons he left Spain was lack of love, the man said himself, while in England he was loved. The love is slowly dying.
  13. Indeed, he was spot on: "There is a theory that Mourinho is trying to engineer his own sacking by his increasingly provocative behaviour. I do not buy it. I do not think, either, that Mourinho’s pronouncements and actions are as thought through as others have claimed. Instead he is simply lashing out."
  14. Not sure. It seems his position deteriorated. I remember even after Southampton defeat papers like DM were reporting his job was never in question, are now reporting he is on the brink.
  15. Chelsea plan for Jose Mourinho exit with Carlo Ancelotti and Guus Hiddink waiting in the wings to take Stamford Bridge hotseat Chelsea are reviewing Jose Mourinho's position just three weeks after publicly backing the Portuguese The Blues have endured a miserable start to the season, losing five of their opening 10 Premier League fixtures Carlos Ancelotti is understood to be interested in a return to Stamford Bridge while Guus Hiddink could be an option Bayern Munich boss Pep Guardiola and Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone may be available in the summer http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3289107/Chelsea-plan-Jose-Mourinho-exit-Carlo-Ancelotti-Guus-Hiddink-waiting-wings-Stamford-Bridge-hotseat.html
  16. I would, but it seems the club is not willing to risk. Just see the Abramovichs record: Mourinho, hired after winning the UCL with Porto, Scolari, hired after winning WC with Brazil and after a good run with Portugal, Ancelotti, hired because of his "UCL manager" status, then the lazy solution: Jose Mourinho again. The club tried Grant, AVB and RDB, all bad experiments, so I'm not sure if the club is willing to give a guy like Koeman a chance, but for me there is a big difference between Koeman and the other 3. Grant was never a coach. AVB had a decent record with Porto, but portuguese league is not PL, and there is a differencet between Mourinho and AVB: in 2004 Mourinho just won UCL with Porto, while in 2011 AVB won Europa League. RDM should never been named permanent coach. Koeman already understand PL and Southampton is playing decent football.
  17. http://www.espnfc.com/blog/the-match/60/post/2680983/pressure-grows-on-jose-mourinho-as-chelsea-problems-mount "And expense, of course, is a major deterrent for Abramovich because if he did sack Mourinho, that would cost him dearly, too. A new four-year contract, thought to be worth as much as £30 million, was signed in the summer. More than that, Chelsea's owner will not want to look stupid. We are led to believe that he wants Mourinho to turn this around and that he wants to avoid a repeat of the instability Chelsea experienced between 2007 and 2013. But how long can his patience hold out? Before the next international break, Chelsea league and cup trips to Stoke and they will host Liverpool and Dynamo Kiev. It goes without saying that they can ill afford a continuation of this form. For now, you suspect that Abramovich will wait and see but in the background, expect contingency plans to be drawn. This is now a genuine crisis. Something has to give." Interesting article. Actually I like EspnFC articles, since they have the balls to write bad words about Jose and realized a long time ago that there is something wrong, while the likes of Daily Mail, Telegraph and Guardian are more interested in his silly controversies, and just keep saying he is the best ever, no matter what. Yesterday someone from Guardian, I think, said the players are letting Mourinho down. About the article, it seems Abramovich will play the waiting game. The club put themselves in a situation they will look just stupid sacking Mourinho months after giving him an unnecessary contract extention. To be honest, that contract extention was already stupid months ago, you just can search the forum and will find many members here saying it was not the right time for a new contract. Right now it will be even more stupid to wait to do the inevitable. The club must act quickly and find solutions for a life after Jose Mourinho, short and long term. There is no reason to believe Mourinho will turn things around. Well, perhaps the team won't end league in 15th position or even outside the top 10, but I genuinely believe the team won't get top 4 finish as long as Jose Mourinho is the manager. Even if another manager arrive tomorrow, it would be really difficult to get a top 4 finish. Really, really difficult, but we might have a chance. Mourinho, no chance. Thats not how football works. The team won't start to play a strong football out of nowhere. The team is not under a short crisis or getting a couple of unlucky results. There is something really wrong with team's structure and spirit. Its not even a team full of new players trying to discover the chemistry, its a team that looks decadent. Think about Andre Villas Boas season. The team was not as bad as he was making it look, but even after he left, while the football improved, but the team finished no better than 6th. RDM was sacked when the team was 3rd in the league, 4 points behind the leader (but the team wasn't looking a top 4 finish material, despite some exciting games), after he left the team ended 3rd, but 15 points behind leader. The team is "only" 9 points behind the top 4, but there are 10 teams between Chelsea and United. I still believe both Spurs and Liverpool are more likely to end in the top 4 than West Ham and Leicester. At this moment, Chelsea is 6 points behind Spurs, and 2 behind Liverpool (it might be 5 if they win today). Last season, as far as december, we were 15 points in front of Spurs and 20 of Liverpool. At the end of the season, we were 23 from Spurs and 25 from Spurs. It means, from late december to the end of the season, a period where Chelsea got more points than any other team during last season, we only got 8 more points than Spurs and 5 than Liverpool. It means, if, the team suddenly become one of the best in the PL again, that might be not enough to end the season in the top 4. The worst part of the season is not even here yet. If Mourinho fail to get a top 4 finish, he will get the axe, thats beyond doubt, so, if there is a huge indication that he won't achieve that goal, I don't see any good reason to keep his job.
  18. If he is getting fired, that would happen tomorrow or monday. The facto there is a busy week might give him a lifetime.
  19. Awful as hell. Could score the winner, seconds before WH killed the game.
  20. Probably another past match rant when he you blame the referees.
  21. Willian man of the match. Worst players on the pitch: Hazard and Zouma.
  22. People talking about Ramires finish, that was all Hazard fault, he was in front of the goal and was supposed to shoot.
