I don't know about you guys, despite his subpar performances in recent seasons, he gave us so many great moments. Would be a bit sad to see him out so quietly without much fanfare or recognition.

The whole situation is pretty cofunsing to me. Its hard to believe the board is quiet about the whole situation. To be honest, in any other big club in the world Mourinho would be axed at this point, despite his CV. You can look around in football history, and even succesful managers were fired after some pretty bad results, but to be honest in recent years I can't even remember a big european team with such performance.

I wili say it again, the board is looking a bunch of amateur of don't know what they are doing. It seems they don't want to look foolish to fire Mourinho 4 montsh after giving him a pointless contract extention, so they want to show everyone they did the right thing.

We all know some of big people making decisions are Roman's friends who are not football people, like Gravoskaya woman, who, according to reports, was the one who brought Mourinho back and the one who gave him a contract extention when he still had 2 more years left in his contract.

I remember that I was shocked when I heard the news back in august. I mean, Mourinho signed a 4 years contract back in 2013, why after 2 years you would just give him two more years? Whats the point of the first contract? Mourinho is not a player, his character is not for every club taste, clubs just don't buy managers from other clubs, so its really hard to understad the point of the contract extention, since its really to imagine he would leave before the end of the first contract, specially if he had the full support of the board and if he really loves Chelsea.

Now we have a another situation. Day after day is pretty clear Mourinho is a dead man walking. Mourinho will get the axe at some point, and its a question of "when", instead of "if". So, the board the making the whole thing difficult for them day after day, because when the gets the axe, it will be too late to save the season (actually its already too late), then the big question will be asked: "why wait so long to make the right thing?".

I remember whe City sacked Mark Hughes and the whole british press pictured them as the bad guys, I remember during a press conference when someone from City board was asked about the situation, he replied that they would do everything they could to make the new City project succesful. They hired Mancini and they won PL after decades. A decent board is not one that make deacisions to praise the fans in the easiest ways, or to look nice to press. A decent board is one that is not afraid to make tough decisions.

A decent board is one that understand there is a big difference between stability and keeping the same manager as long as possible. A decent board is one that understand a club success can't rely in one single man.

I said earlier I feel confused because its really hard to believe the board still believe Mourinho will turn things around, because at this point he just can't turn things around, unless they accept the top 10 is an acceptable goal as some Mourinho fans are suggesting in this topic. Perhaps they are just waiting the end of the season because they already know who's next boss is. But considering Avran Grant was give a 3 years contract (no, he was never an interim manager, he was given the full job with a long contract) and was fired after reaching UCL final, probably it means the Board actually doesn't know what they are doing and are paralysed by this awful season.

Don't know what to believe anymore in all honesty, whole situation is a fucking joke.

Reckon it's Papy Djilobodji. That guy's always had a big fucking mouth. Always trying to be in the spotlight.

Jezus Christ, IQ just dropped 50 points in here [emoji33]

I'm starting to think we need to change, I haven't fully shifted yet but if/when I do, I stay changed.
But unlike most people on here, I will still respect him for being the best manager in the club's history and what he has done.

Jeez, people. Have we really reached the stage of wishing prolonged injuries on our own players?! Sometimes we really do reach RAWK-standards around here...

Yeah of course - that's why it's talk Chelsea not talk Charlton
I guess what you are seeing is a blend of posts that started last year when we suddenly stopped Playing football and people were concerned - this has carried over. At the time, me included, I thought this was an overreaction.
However, its been analysed to death and maybe, just maybe - there is some truth to this movement
Now hardly anybody is calling for him to be sacked, moreover a massive concern that he isn't being adaptable enough and the old 3rd season syndrome rears it's ugly head
Whatever happens - all of the posters on here are genuine and very passionate about their beliefs

I really miss Ash. How long since we've had a proper full-back like him at his prime? An absolute monster at attacking and just as good if not better defensively.

Lol, what a disgrace offer

Guarantee you won't regret watching that video. I miss him so bad
People claim his peak was under Mourinho in his first spell but personally as an all around player it was under Scolari/Hiddink/Carlo. Absolute joy to watch from 08-10

That statement should read falcao WAS clearly better than remy. in the same vein as van persie was better than benteke/kane. You are only as good as your last game.
Remy is younger, fitter, more reliable goal scorer over the past two seasons plus he's premier league proven and his ability to impact the game as a second choice striker isn't in question while Falaco on the other hand is struggling to regain previous form or return to top physical and mental condition (that injury really took its toll on him) . he spent majority of last season on his arse, doing his best Torres imitation (man utd can attest).
At this point in time, Remy is a safer and surer bet to succeed at Chelsea and the premier league (He already has). There's no single logical reason why anyone would pick Falcao over remy, which is what this is rapidly turning into, other than reputation which counts for little on the pitch.

Fans are so selfish.

Me too .... but

Lampard: "I told him 2 years ago he was the best"

Hi!
Fernando, I understand your anger, I am also sad, but I have made the same comment in the thread Chelsea v PSG and I said: "Whatever happens ... Chelsea!".
I put it at the same time I put "I trust in Jose" in this thread.
We may have different views, but I respect you aways. And I expect the same from you.
I am a fan of Chelsea. Without any doubt. Jose is part of this team.
Regards.

Obviously it is.. that's all Chelsea fans have been talking about for a while. It's bound to be a popular search result.
What else could you write anyway? Campaign against cucumbers?

Southampton were denied a clear penalty against Liverpool and Bertrand tweeted this..

This whole 'bottler' label is really confirmation bias at its finest. That's not to say that Cesc hasn't been playing poorly, clearly he has. But it seems like right from the start some people have been waiting and watching him closely for the slightest sign that confirms their suspicions. Looking at the team's performances in big games or in the 2nd half of the season, Cesc hasn't been any worse than the other players but yet no one else gets labelled "a choker". Why? Because folks here already have a preconceived idea about Cesc and selectively see things that affirm the label of him being a bottler.
He's being treated unfairly by some on here and I think people really get it into their heads that the team in general is playing poorly. To start singling out players is absurd. Cesc, Oscar, Costa, even Matic. The team overall has been poor and it doesn't come down to just one player.

Scholes
"As for Diego Costa, I see it differently to the rest," he wrote in his London Evening Standard column.

"I thought his actions were at the lower end of the scale of dangerous and that he was under extreme provocation from Martin Skrtel, who has wound him up before this season.

"My view of it was that Costa gets kicked a lot and actually his patience is to be admired in many, if not all, situations."

Christ, how can anyone argue with the charge or say it wasn't intentional.
Ridiculous.
Your turn Remy.

Essien's agent Pivetau:"He doesn't want to play in the Premier League for a club other than Chelsea, we refused offers from QPR & WBA"

Thirteen seasons of service, three Premier League titles, four FA Cups, two League Cups, Chelsea's first ever Champions League, Chelsea's top goalscorer of all time and apparently this guy is not a legend any more. I'm done.
