Unlikely

It's scary right now - a few more losses and we could be truly in the relegation mix I do think there is an element of we're too big to fail. Try explaining that to Lehmans Brothers... Bigger you are, the harder you fall No opposition manager has to give a motivational team talk now - they can pinpoint our weaknesses and exploit them consistently. Pardew has always worked it out against us - others are now following suite.

That's why I dont see us changing whilst he is still in control His version of the game is more about effort than skill - his perfect result is 1-0 We just don't have the players to enforce that and I'm not comfortable with that direction in our play Mourinho was brought back to adopt an attacking style of play. He has failed, how anybody can argue against that I will never know. And what's worse is that we now have no attack and no defence either. I get he is loved by the fans blah blah but any other club would have dispensed with his services by now and IMHO I think keeping him for a minute longer is a bigger mistake by the Board. This notion that CPO and love for Mou is intertwined smacks of complete farce to me. If fans are so fickle as to vote 'NO' on the CPO because Mourinho was 'rightly' sacked - then can they be considered true Chelsea fans, surely the club is sacrosanct? I get the transfer window argument - but this is the team that Mou took credit for in winning last years title. Maybe the loss of Drog and Big Pete in the dressing room was more powerful than first suspected...

Halting Liverpools dream one manager at a time.

Still not sacked then Those ITK people really do talk shit lol ? Oh well José here until the end of season Let's all enjoy this relegation battle

Dude just leave it You don't think Hazard is great, others do - go post in another thread and stop regurgitating pointless debates. Like I said to you earlier - I hope I never have to witness Eden in the starting 11 for one of our rivals (PL or CL) as we will live to regret it. I have had frustrating times with him as a player, because I set unrealistic expectations, but currently he's one of only a few bright stars in our otherwise dull as dishwasher squad...

Possibly - they know if they don't perform to an unrealistic level they will continue to rot in the reserves Sometimes doing your job can be fun - but Mou seems to suck all of the life and happiness out of everything...

Been summoned to another meeting?

I'm just using RLC as the example. People say it's disrespectful to bash Mou on things - my point is that Mou made these statements and to call him out on them is not disrespectful. If he didn't set the expectation, nobody would be questioning it as much. Again, it's Mou's short term thinking, he will say anything to sound smart at that precise minute, but long term it makes him look an idiot (most press conferences) It's just yet another reason I want a change (not Rodgers, what was I drinking last night) but Hiddink for me - just somebody to come in, calm the situation down, play a balanced team - grab a few wins and then rebuild in the summer with our 'first choice' manager (whoever that will be!)

Well he shouldn't make promises he cannot keep! HE said RLC was ready and would play. But like the majority of things Mourinho says it's all bollox. He's a talker not a doer...

Lol ? Yeah - always middle ground somewhere

Yeah I think I need to stop drinking if I think Rodgers is OK as an interim!

It would be amazing and I would love it I'm not being critical - just debating. There's a big step from knowing and seeing to doing, how many times have you seen a number two fail - they know the players, the club etc and then it still doesn't work out for them. I say it's probably too early - maybe another year or two yet. But, life is a risk and if he can, he should. Would be great to have an English manager again

He has been a frustrating figure at times in a Chelsea shirt I still think his best position is in the middle. This season he has added a left shoulder drop and a wicked free kick! I have always liked his energy. Overall a decent player - the cost was there to snatch him from the Spuds - those bellends pushed his price up as they love overpaying

I dunno - I always think the lower league guys will struggle with the ego's in the bigger teams. I think that aspect is probably the hardest to learn and was definitely the undoing of AVB everywhere he went It's a tough one... But older managers seem to be able to navigate the players better.

I'm considering it Please someone talk me out of it Hiddink is my first choice despite his fall from grace, he gave me some great times as a Chelsea fan

It is a quandary I just don't know who else can come in and do a job. I think it's only fair if the board after backing him keep Mou until the end of the season - but how many more meltdowns are we going to see. Now the FA are handing out stadium bans - I can see them liking it, as Jose is a repeat offender. Such a ridiculous situation and proof that nightmares can happen at any time Right now it feels like you've scored two hot chicks, hit their apartment and found out they ain't really chicks

I take it you mean : "know nothing" Ironic really

I laughed so much when I read this initially, but after thinking about it long and hard - he would be OK as an interim. Hazard = Suarez (ish) Willian = Sturridge (ish) JT = Gerrard (ish) He managed to get Loserpool pretty close with a team on paper at least equal or worse than our current squad. At least he tries to play attacking dynamic football. I'm sure he would have also learnt from that mistake against us where he just needed a draw. I dunno though - there must be better options I mean jesus I even praised the FSW during his tenure as he delivered a trophy! I would never have thought that! Somebody could have given me an infinite number of guesses and praising the FSW would have been nowhere on the radar!

I think that's the part that has lost me most respect for him. His absolute failure to admit any problem, and constant blaming of everything else. Just man up and take it on the chin - life is about balance, very few people in life experience all ups. And the fact of having a down, makes you appreciate the ups. I would have felt more confident if he'd have taken ownership of the problems.

This poll is definitely different to the last one Right now 61 = new manager 48 = keep Jose 8 = don't know Even assuming a 100% swing in favour of don't knows to Keep - there is still a majority saying new manager. I guess patience is wearing thin... Pyrrhic victory springs to mind - when considering the current incumbent...

Why not say that then - instead of inferring that Bosnian Blue is not a 'proper' fan and that Starman is a troll?

Just ignore posts like that mate - don't get sucked into it. You made valid points.

no need to go that far I don't believe we will go down - but a few wins from those below us and it could start to get very shit. Hopefully we will make the Top 8.

I find the arrogance that we won't be dragged into a relegation battle pretty disturbing Our form is atrocious What right do we have not to get relegated? I know I will be ridiculed for this but we have steadily dropped down the table - how low do we have to sink, before it becomes an option?
