The Mourinho Thread

[Rhino's Skin 972]

Are you guys really considering Rodgers? please no, if we go down that route just appoint JT as manager-player.

I do not want to appear or seem to be on the high ground looking down as a regular home/away match going supporter but if Mourinho goes it will take someone extraordinary with immediate impact of getting across to the fans to get the match support on board.

If a not so well known coach such as Paul Clement, Steve Holland or those of similar ilk with club connections were to take over.........they would be given a lot more time and be given more patience from the match day crowd than a high profile manager expected to deliver from day 1.

If Mourinho goes...I really hope the board take this matter into consideration

I'm still in favour of him taking the team forward for the time being. Result haven't really improved, but performances have. However, if we don't get out of the CL group stages (can't see that happening) or we don't start climbing the table swiftly after the break; he should be replaced by Hiddink until the summer.

Sadly i don't see that happening, not the supporters bit, but the appointing a not so well known coach. Or if it would happen it would be AVB all over again, run of bad results and he's gone as quick as he came.

I consider a miracle the fact that Mourinho hasn't been sacked yet, but when/if he's sacked, it's going to be because the board will want immediate results to climb up the table and cut our losses as much as possible, that is much more likely to happen with a well known coach than someone from league 2. (At least from a business point of view, of course a league 2 manager could be very well capable of that feat)

Also the moment when/if Mourinho is sacked i believe the board won't take into consideration towards who the fans are going to be more patient, as they would just keep José in the first place.

At the end of the day, it would be really nice to have an unknown coach, give him time, and see him build something out of this team, but in the eventuality of a sack that's just won't be an option in that moment, unless it's going to happen in the summer.

Rumors are that Rodger, RDM and Hiddink are all on our short list to replace Jose until the end of the season. Goodness me if there is any truth in this I don't know what to say, maybe the problem isn't mainly Jose after all but the board as well. If we get rid of Jose a good replacement needs to come in, not 3 managers that have been sacked from their respective jobs barely a few months ago.

God, could this season get any worse?

[Spike 12,049]

and hopefully...no Bosnian Blue. byeeee

hope you can drag your trolling fingers off the keyboard to show some support when we are in trouble...oooppps ..hold on.

Will you still be posting if we are in the championshp?

None of that please. There is no need to question other people support of the club; it adds nothing to this community. We are all Chelsea fans here, we should show camaraderie not belligerence.

[Spike 12,049]

I remain adamant that the club should wait to the end of the season to decide Mourinho's fate. He could change things in the meantime, besides this isn't a decision that should be made quickly.

[Henrique 9,133]

The right time to sack Mourinho is at the end of the season, unless this board believe the team will get a top 4 finish.

This team won't finish in the top 4, and the squad is not good enough to even think about winning the UCL, so I don't think there is a guy available that would manage to win the UCL or get a top 4 finish in the PL, so there is little reason to fire Jose at this moment.

Keeping him untill the end of the season will also send a message: the club supported him the whole season, even in the worst moments, but its not working anymore. If Mourinho is fired now, many people will say that was unfair and he still was going to get this team to a top 4 finish or it was only a bad run.

Should keep Mourinho until even the majority of fans at the stadium want him out.

[yipo 56]

this man say he will play kids if we continues struggle, still waiting

I don't think he deserves another transfer window. What is he going to do besides selling Musonda, he will look for a quick fix. Premiere League clubs won't sell so we'll probably make his friend Jorge Mendes richer.

reckon the club owns him a proper transfer window since he did not get one this time around.

How much does the champion of Premier League usually need to spend in the summer to avoid relegation battle the next season?

Another poll idea... Where would we be if Willian got injured instead of Ivanovic?

Don't think he will get till end of season.He will get till Jan start atmost and if we arent 7th/8th in the table he will be gone.He isnt doing anything different.Not playing youth while he has said he will give RLC a run of games.No change in formation or tactics.
