The Mourinho Thread

Well, fuck off and celebrate then. You know who you are, fuck off down the pub and have a few pints

I can't believe the club have sacked him. Players' fault, if they suddenly play brilliantly on saturday I'll certainly make my feelings heard

[zolayes 14,489]

although I have been critical especially over the last 6 months I am not celebrating but I do have a great feeling of relief . Time to move on .

This gives the club a little while to draw up January transfer plans if needed...and it is.

The board make all Jan plans by themselves. Don't think much will change

[BloodIsBlue 291]

Does the board actually want to get relegated? They better have something up their sleeves for the January transfer window.

Enjoy the vacation Mou, too bad this project didn't become what it could have.

What about Leonardo being the next Chelsea manager ?

The ninja turtle?

[MihaiM24 156]

fuck this shit we deserve relegation if the board really did this

[kmk108 1,186]

Make no mistake, this is far more than player power. We're not struggling to keep up with top 4. We're battling relegation and that's simply not tolerable for this club. If the training tactics aren't being translated on the field on game-day, Jose needed to find a way to make it. Nothing was changing. Nothing was getting better. It was the same stuff trotted out every weekend, with some things going our way in Europe.

I'll never hate Jose. I'll never dislike him. He did so much for this club and we wouldn't be where we are (for better and worse) without him. Regardless of how he's portrayed himself in the media, he is one of us and always will be.

Watch Jose winning titles at Man Utd now

Watch, we are going to win LM without him.... Shit logic.

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

And we thought he will stay here for 10 years...

Did anybody honestly believe that he could pull that off though?

Dicaprio? Ofc. he would want to come here, he would have OSCAR!!!!!!

How does sacking Jose make it more likely for us to be relegated? I don't get this narrative either.

[didierforever 7,349]

deserved sacking.

and for whom? cunts like costa, cesc!!! damn!!

[xPetrCechx 13,563]

But both Jose and the board agreed results have not been good enough this season and believe it is in the best interests of both parties to go our separate ways.

The club wishes to make clear Jose leaves us on good terms and will always remain a much-loved, respected and significant figure at Chelsea. His legacy at Stamford Bridge and in England has long been guaranteed and he will always be warmly welcomed back to Stamford Bridge.

Mourinho still at training ground saying bye to staff and players.

Eva to return in January.

That's why the board sacked him. Because they don't want us to get relegated. We don't even need the January market that badly. The poison has been removed from the locker room. We will stay up now for sure.

cesc, ivan, terry, eden, diago, pedro should all be sold so cfc can have a clean start

[nullabletype 987]

I'll miss Jose Mourinho. But something HAD to be done. We are a loss away from being in the relegation zone. Chelsea, who is going to have a 60,000 stadium, one of the huge brands in Europe cannot continue to sink like this.

It's either sack the manager or sell like 8 players which is a super hassle. And you know what? This could have been avoided IF Jose had the balls to use RLC, Kenedy, Traore etc.

Behave yourself.

Give the kids a chance, sure. Even more reason to play them given recent results. But as if this could have all been avoided if we'd just played a few up-and-comers.

This isn't football manager where the players automatically follow the instructions. Big egos, not so much sportsmanship and teamwork. This was a grudge between the manager and the players, just that the team and the results got in the middle of it. A mistake to let him go but what is done is done. Really curious what will happen next.
