Is this even a serious thread, regarding the poll?

Gobsmacked.

A play on people's emotions more than anything lol

With each passing game I lose a little bit more confidence in his ability to turn things around based on his stubbornness, but do I want him to get the sack? Absolutely not. We're a laughing stock as it is.

yeah , should be way higher than 66%

Ivanovic best right back at club.

Matic out of form.

This is what done It for me along with the performance. He has to go!

[petre.ispirescu 4,928]

Forget about the sack at this point, let him in charge until May with one clear objective - Champions League football next season with no transfers in the next window.

From now on Roman should grab his phone, call Guardiola and do everything in his power to convince him to come here. Big salary and big money for transfers next summer considering we've saved a huge amount this summer and will be saving again this winter.

Give Guardiola 150-200m and he'd rebuild the squad completely with players to fit his philosophy and hit the ground running from the very first match. He's not known as a big spender so he'd probably build his core around players similar to Thiago, Douglas Costa, Alaba, Boateng et al. That's fine with me.

Chelsea should have enough to finish at least 4th and I'm more than sure that Guardiola would at least listen to what Roman would have to say.

IMHO, Guardiola is the only one that could change the mentality at this club and take us to next level. Others would only do what Mourinho did - have a short term impact, but then fade away. This is why I think the Mourinho should not get the sack right now.

So he said that chelsea should not sack him cos its a message to the players that only the manager is guilty, the same message they got in the past decade...

BS argument.The team has changed a lot in the recent ten years. Players came and players went. A lot of the players have not experienced those sackings. While I agree that some teams sack their managers way too soon, there are boundaries. Mourinho has been inadequate as a coach since last february, yes he won us a league but he destroyed the team's attacking intent, then there was the Eva-situation and now there are all those rumours (I know just rumours) about his bad attitude in the dressing room + his stuborness to change players or tactics (Iva is STILL on),. This had gone too far and Mou has shown no willingness to change, he's destroying the team. He has to go or this will only get worse.

But who would replace them?

Baba is an unknown and RLC is not an option.

If we had replacements I would understand.

mbabu was an unknown and he OWNED pedro.

i have seen baba play twice and he has looked the way an attacking fullback looks. brilliant in attack, great cross, a couple of awesome runs, good overlapping and link up play but a bit shaky defensively. "A BIT" are the operational words. ivanovic has looked absolutely SHIT. hell, azpi-GC-JT-zouma go ahead with this. just dont give the no replacement excuse.even if baba costs us a few points, atleast we would be working towards the future. iva has single handedly cost us swansea, city, palace, everton and porto. u r seriously telling me that baba is worse? we shelled out 21 mil pounds for someone who is worse than the worst player in PL currently?

as for cesc, against porto we play a pivot of rambo-mikel but use cesc as no.10 despite the fact that time and again he has looked ridiculous there. why? what is wrong with playing oscar as no.10 while playing matic and rambo in the pivot? or playing matic and RLC in the pivot. if he thinks a massive defensive liability like cesc is an "untouchable" in the team despite the number of goals he has cost us, why did not we buy morgan? or cabaye? or kondogbia? sorry, these are all excuses.

Looks like we have to win the Europa League or Champions League this season then.

ROFLMAO unless we get RDB or Benitez

Same dont want him to get the sack and would feel sad if he did.Do want him to turn things around but for whatever reason it aint happening

The whole losing the dressing room just find bollocks some time.Grow up!Dont go to work and think hmmm I'll do sod all cause dont like the manager or whatever you have to get on with it.Plus not just about the manager theres fans as well..do it for them.The whole thing is annoying and wish could just start this season again,.or least come back after the break and start getting our act toegther

thats right.

the refs are to blame for this too

[xPetrCechx 13,563]

Imo, the players are more guilty than him.

[Fernando 6,491]

I mean I get people are mad and that, but let's not paint him as some kind of evil villian. Bit of respect wouldn't go amiss considering all he's done for us. To call him a cunt, a disgrace, etc. Damn people

Yeah people here are brutal!

I admit I can also go a bit, but after a day always come back to normality.

Right now I agree with you, let the man just finish the season and then have his replacement to take over for next season.

We pretty much did the same mistake Real Madrid did.

Oh well, as long as we can finish top 4 I could care less. We might even get a surprise and do good in the CL, because sometimes you get a surprise in crap seasons like this.

[Special Juan 27,456]

No point in kicking sand over it but the sub sub on Matic said everything.

Why shouldn't it be? It's a justified question that's been discussed for some time now. At least the poll gives a clear view on what the community thinks not having to read through pages of anger and disappointment. You wouldn't be asking this if any other name but "Mourinho" was there.

What if we do a Dortmund and finish like 8th? after fighting relegation until Feb? When do we draw the line?

how?

care to explain?

It seems, in your black and white perspective of things, that you've painted me with the "Mourinho fanboy" brush. If that's the case, you're greatly mistaken in identifying support for a highly successful manager as blind devotion towards him.

The last thing this shambles of a club needs right now is for the headman's axe to be swung. Give him the season and make changes in the summer if necessary.
