The Mourinho Thread

[The Skipper 20,593]

Wow. So he's actually gone. Such a shame things didn't work out.

Let me say one thing though - the people that are playing the player power narrative couldn't be more wrong in my opinion. This isn't the same. The players are not revolting against Mourinho - they've come out at numerous times supporting the manager. They care. They are trying out there.

It just wasn't working anymore. The player power narrative is a very poor one I think. It was far bigger than that. Players aren't underperforming because they wanted Mourinho out. Whatever was working for our players and Mourinho just isn't anymore.

Which brings me onto my next point. Having a manager for a long time does not guarantee long term stability at the top level. As I said before, it's about the ethos and philosophy that the club defines. We need that defined now more than ever. This is when we bring in players AND managers that fit our defined philosophy and ethos.

Jose is an absolute legend for what he's done for us and for world football in general but it just wasn't meant to be. Our results this season just were not acceptable and he including the players and the board are responsible for that. He didn't have it in him to turn it around however.

How we progress from here and the moves we make from now on will be very important for the club's long term future.

oh this sucks. i wanted to mourinho to stay for at least 1 more season.

I am also aoK with him going but thete is no need for vitriol

Good news.

Cannot be a better man to help us pick up.

Can't do any worse then the relegation battle we are in right now.

Replacement will of already been found, just hope to fuck it ain't Ramos.

Hiddink according to the bookies. I like the bloke, but at 69 he certainly won't be any more than an interim.

[hjperdeath 2,226]

Come back? The man deserves more than coming back to a club that sacked him twice. Thank you for the memories Jose, you'll forever be loved. Can't wait for the atmosphere next game , the players and the board will get their answer.

Jason could you stick a new thread up (or in this thread) with a poll asking who Chelsea fans want to be the next manager (temporarily and/or permenently). Now this is done i'm curious to know the general feeling even though I have a horrible feeling it will Pep the bellend.

Surprised to be honest. I thought he would have stayed to Jan at least

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

[nullabletype 987]

Joke. Watch the circus now, theyll probably apoint Stamford the Lion.

Nah mate, we've already done wrong by one club heroine this season, Eva Carneiro. It's Bridget's job for the taking. Just brace yourself for the claims of sexism when we bin her in 6 months because the players have taken the hump.

Surprised to be honest. I thought he would have stayed to Jan at least

Then we'll probably have been relegated. Our board can be silly sometimes, but they're not sadists..... I think.

[MetsajCFC 1,255]

It's on twitter, it's official.

[kevvyhaz 9]

well done Roman! when you are investing so much money into football you should at least get a manager that thinks offensive to entertain the world.

Mourinho has always played anti football

[yipo 56]

Watch him win the title at united next season btw...

if pep come , we will win, pep dominate mourinho

[Tautvix 1,321]

Watch Jose winning titles at Man Utd now

[DrKojo 25]

What about Leonardo being the next Chelsea manager ?

[Tomo 21,733]

He is too smart to return. Why should he?

Because i can't imagine him wantingnto.completely end it like this either.

[xPetrCechx 13,563]

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

Chelsea Football Club and Jose Mourinho have today parted company by mutual consent.

All at Chelsea thank Jose for his immense contribution since he returned as manager in the summer of 2013.

His three league titles, FA Cup, Community Shield and three League Cup wins over two spells make him the most successful manager in our 110-year history. 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.

The club’s focus is now on ensuring our talented squad reaches its potential.

There will be no further comment until a new appointment is made.
