Fulham Broadway

Its great that people have different opinions. I am also glad that the owner, board, players, coaches, scouts, and all associated with the club back the greatest manager CFC have ever had at present, and our views have zero influence on what happens.

Welcome Ellisb - Could be expensive, but I think the club can afford it

Guardian has always hated Chelsea -racist hooligan club in their 'right on' middle class view of the World

Jose thanks Roman for vote of confidence in ''the manager that has won three league titles'' http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/oct/08/chelsea-jose-mourinho-roman-abramovich-thanks

BRENDAN Rodgers has confirmed that being fired was something he had planned all along. After poor results which saw Liverpool adopt a 1-2-0-2-2-1-1-1 formation in a bid to score using neuro-linguistic programming techniques, the club decided to find someone ‘less sophisticated’. Rodgers said: “I will now sit on my sofa in my pants for the next three months, eating Wotsits and staring at my self-portrait. This will generate an upturn in results with a draw away at Norwich in January. “In 2018, when I’m doing after dinner speeches in Dubai, Liverpool will win the League Cup as a result. It’s all in my dossier.” In a statement, the club thanked Rodgers for ‘whatever the hell it was he had been doing for the past three and a half years’. It is understood Rodgers offered to write the statement himself, claiming to be ‘one of the world’s top five sacking statement writers’.

Champions League is the deciding factor on whether Jose stays or goes. I fancy as long as we are in that then Roman will be fine. Failure to make the Quarters will be a problem for him, just as ineligibity to qualify for next year.

See what youre saying. We all know managers are generally gobshites, from Wengers "I deed not seee it" to Benitez' shrug followed by "hunbeleefable, but this is football" Jose is prickly, a pantomine villain that the FA take seriously. Jose does know better, but a lot of his success is centred round being a Portuguese bad boy, cant see it changing, but its all an act as we know to deflect. Problem being now with the team is that the task is on the scale of turning round an oil tanker or deflecting an asteroid from earth. If he does it, makes top four, he will have turned round our worst start since 1978 into one of footballs greatest stories. Lets give him a chance.

keep the faith. We wouldnt be Chelsea without a crisis .

So you reckon chelsea get treated the same as everyone else. Laughable.

They couldnt, it was adjudicated by an independent body.

But as you say -the FA see Chelsea as a cash cow, regardless of what he said. Its not just Mourinho, Chelsea get harsher treatment from the FA period. Just because Wenger didnt speak for 7 minutes, and just because maybe Saints should have had 2 pens, doesnt detract from the fact Wenger in effect said exactly the same yet gets away with it.

Henry, fantastic player, but jesus what a dreadful pundit

It is. When things have settled down, one day, I would love us to take the FA to court

midfielder Stefan Effenberg has strongly hinted to the BBC's World Football programme that Jurgen Klopp will be the next coach of Liverpool. "Liverpool is one of the greatest atmospheres. It’s pretty much the same as Dortmund," said the World Cup winner, who is a good friend of Klopp. "The fans stay with everything behind the club and this is what Jurgen Klopp likes and what he needs. “So I maybe, very soon, we’ll hear something from Jurgen Klopp, to make a decision, maybe, for Liverpool.” Another deluded twat

Hes been charged by the FA now for post Saints comments about refs ....but it was fine for Wenger to slag off the ref after we beat them

The club got credit for buying the players he wanted last summer, and getting them early. Both he and the club got rightful praise for it. Now the club should get stick for not buying the players he wanted, and they have to get stick for buying players he didn't want and in the case of Papy, has never even seen play!

He thought he could get the best out of Falcao- that hasnt happened, but Falcao and Remy should be more than adequate cover. As for a fullback, the board have been too stingy imo with regard to Stones, either of the Manc clubs or even liverpool would have coughed up what they want. Stones has covered at RB before. This was the plan until Terrys legs had gone.

The club/board only gave him Begovic after selling Cech . They let him have Falcao on loan until after the disaster at Man city, aswell as shipping out or losing Drogba, Luis, Salah etc. Say what you want about their abilities but they were squad players and we had a small squad already before letting them depart. The club failed to back Jose in the summer and now we are suffering because of it. That said, I think Jose has to take some responsibility, but not all of it. Like he said we all (the club) need to take responsibility. Look what happened last year when they listened to him and he got his players in and did their business early. Bottom line hes one of the top 3 managers in the World. I can see a big January panic coming. Similar to torres/Luiz a few years back.

This seems to allude Baba wasnt a Mourinho signing http://www.london24.com/sport/football/clubs/chelsea/mourinho_reveals_why_he_won_t_throw_new_boy_into_chelsea_defence_against_aston_villa_1_4258556

We need action now, too many words. But to me it is way too premature to sack him. Brendan got 18 months, Wenger's had 10 years, Jose's had 8 matches so far...

Definitely had a mixed bunch. Steve Clarke was good, Paulo was very good, Boularouz -remember him ? bit mental. Jose played Essien there who was surprisingly good, and I am sure Ranieri played Hasselbaink there or left back

Return of Dark Clouds to Chelsea article above... "the question is what to do ?-all I know is we are in deep trouble"

Of course theyre fucking plastic. Theyre running a business. End of. They dont spend all their disposable income following the team, get chelsea tatoos, queue, get treated like shit by stewards and the old bill. All they are interested in is making a profit.In terms of plasticity percentage Bates would be the most.

Chelsea have had 3 owners. The Mears dynasty, Ken Bates and Abramovich. Not sure what you mean by plastic , but they are interested primarily in profit, and..er....thats it.Right now the board, and I think Maria will have quite a bit of input, will be looking at projected profit and loss scenarios with or without Jose. My guess is they will stick with the same employee at present.

@supporter - great post and analysis. Also @Adnane your post earlier as well. Great positivity.
