The commercial elements will play a big part Up until now the club was stable at the top of the league and always had CL and associated revenues. The books were on the way to being balanced and sustainable, stadium expansion happening and now this 16th, chances of CL gone and barring an absolute miracle no chance of winning it. This will hurt the club financially. However, it could force us to use our younger players and be more sustainable in the long run. It's a delicate position... I can imagine some long hard discussions in the board room. Heart says one thing, Head says another and wallet further complicates the matter!

Well said that man!!! I know we have argued in the past - but 100% back that statement. I think it's probably just emotions though - I think Capello is also a bad choice lol ?

Nice post - yes we have come a long way! We should never forget that Wish we had Jimmy and Eidur up front - loved those two! Or even Flo as Super sub

I hope I never have to witness him leaving and your point being proved wrong. That would be a sad day indeed. This guy is a class player and he would start in any team. Yes he looks worse this season - but apart from Willian name one other player that has shone? Hazard has a minimum of 2-3 players around him - that's space his team mates should be exploiting and hence his initial tendency to play a one-two - he can eliminate players quickly (like how our midfield is bypassed by a single pass) We are nowhere near playing to his strengths.

I think it's almost worse for Mourinho as he normally loses so few a season So those losses look much worse As fans under Mou we become used to 'not losing' so it always feels worse That's what has been driving me mad - trying to separate my emotions from rational thought and it's hard On the balance though - I think a change might be good.

Exactly that! We take too long - opposition get organised - Chance gone I think that's the difference this year - we seem like we have a 3-4 second delay and it's costing us

Missed your posts dude we always had a lively debate 3) I guess I didn't elaborate this enough, what's done is done, for me it's about our future stars not being integrated. 4) I do think he is short term, it's his us against them mentality - it doesn't have a long term effect. It works in the short term, but is unsustainable. His recent actions show he is losing control and a leader that loses control is one that loses respect quickly. 5) I posted something similar a while back. Either the Board need to come out and say he's here until the end of season, or remove him now. There's no middle ground it's black or white.

Yup - last season we would have won today That's why I think a change is needed Something has gone on at the club and we are not privy to it. It's affecting us too much Sometimes the hardest decision is the best. Like chopping off a leg to save the patient - that's how I feel right now

For me it's a combination of factors - Lack of emphasis on attacking play - Team mates who are just not on the same wavelength It's a square peg in a round hole at the minute

Lol ? Rocky XVI - let's hope it's Maureens revenge and we go on an unbeaten streak until the end of the season.

C'mon you are better than this post suggests. Luck is nothing to do with it - we cannot create chances from open play The team do not know how to attack and defend together as a unit I think the problems run deeper than 'luck'

Please don't take this the wrong way But the difference with Arsenal etc - they are not 16th 3 points from relegation Yes they are shit and have won fuck all with talented teams, but they haven't imploded either - they've just bobbed around at the top, missing out We are 16th - I cannot stress enough how serious this is now. We are 3 points from relegation Blackburn was the last team to win and then dissappear - although it took longer than one season. We are right now relegation candidates - please believe me when I say how hard it is to admit that, But our form suggests it. I think the Board have little choice

Lmao - thank you That's my first genuine smile of today The Moose

I tell you now You drop this guy into Bayern, Arsenal, City, Barca, Real, PSG And he would be a fucking superstar immediately The guy just has nobody with attacking intelligence to play with Nobody in our team is on his wavelength It must be soul destroying for him He needs quick one two's, slide passes, reverse passes and most of all movement!!! He's playing up front with statues or an empty penalty box Any decent striker would have finished that ball at the far post And that would have changed the game If we lose this guy - I give up all hope.

Indeed that's my point. As a fan of Chelsea each of us needs to weigh this up and decide. And such is life we will all make a different outcome.

Let's not resort to personal insults Yes we are all pissed off! Also remember that English might not be the first, second or even third language of some members - so try to be patient when reading what they post. The vote will be interesting I think Jose will be gone. It is sad, because he had such an amazing opportunity - for me he has failed us. He failed to rotate, failed to integrate youth and failed to play attacking football. I think he is the best 2 year manager in the business and you will win a trophy with him - but at what cost? Our future is now unclear

I'm just so sad ? It's just wrong I think Mou might be gone after this. Yes I have called for his head - but I will still be sad to see him go We do need something to change things - we need a catalyst - otherwise this shit will just continue week after week We are 3 points from Relegation Cannot score in open play If we were any other team we'd be nailed on relegation candidates!!! Please people consider that! 3 points from relegation!!!! Arghhhh

It's no laughing matter Really sad ?

Fuck Fuck Fuck

Last minute goal

I never argue with you You are always right

Just devoid of attacking options No movement or runs just static It's a shame to see

Ahh sorry thought he did Oops I did a Mourinho there

Great ball by Fabregas

Should have gone down Clear penalty and red card then
