I know, but you also can't know where Chelsea would have been at the end under Mourinho.
I did verify it, they had 21 points after 16 games. Pretty poor for reigning Champions, but better than 15 points :lol:

I don't even know the last time a defending Champion was quite this poor, it's utter humiliation for them and it's all because of Mourinho. Lovely :d

[Heisenberg]

Such a shame, he was really taking them in the right direction.

[Kano]

Leeds United.

Think have gone wrong no doubt, but too early to sack him IMO and he'll recover fine with little effect, he's proven he can win and I doubt a small blip like this will affect him or his desirability for big clubs.

You had to go back quite a while to find that one. I'm also pretty sure they sold Cantona and their main striker Lee Chapman the season after winning the title (although I may be wrong) and entered into the Champions League. A few mitigating circumstances that probably impacted quite heavily on a team that had been in the old Division Two a few years earlier. Compared to Chelsea and their 'supreme' manager and prospective 'world player of the year' :lol: Hazard, along with all the financial muscle and recent success they have been built on, the two sides couldn't be more different really.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

I don't get why the fans are upset to be honest, it shows they know nothing about the man. The results were never going to turn around for them whilst he stayed, he is getting progressively more ill. His narcassism meant that the writing was on the wall back in August and hoping that just keeping him on would change anything is pointless, he brought that squad back into pre season too late and they were unprepared and he did his usual scape goat tactics publically humiliating his club Doctor....then it's his players and the officials it's everyone's fault but his.
Only a man who could even for a second acknowledge his faults have any chance of turning things around, it had clearly degenerated to a battle of wills between manager and owner....he was almost brazenly daring him to sack him.
Mourinho cannot settle at a club long term and he will never moderate his unacceptable behaviour because he has a personality disorder, one that drives him but one that is destructive.
Inter and Porto were his most successful clubs because he never stayed long enough to develop acrimony.
Wherever he ends up it will end the same, there can never be a happy ending because of the nature of a deranged individual

[Niall_Quinn]

Some incredibly rich guy has sacked another rich guy who fell out with a bunch of rich kids and now the first rich guy will have to pay loads of money to hire another rich guy and the second rich guy will get paid a fortune to go and find another job where he gets paid a fortune. Beyond the talk it doesn't seem to me this is related to the fans in any way, whether they are chavs or not. Different world.

All told, the chavs prove they have no class, yet again. Their chavvy Russian gangster owner proves, again, money is no object in his quest to buy status. The chavvy Portuguese bloke proves he can't build anything of substance and the chavvy fairweather gits who claim to play for the club prove they are only up for it when the going is easy. Sounds like your typical modern football club to me.

[Marc Overmars]

I really hope the top clubs start to overlook him now, he'll probably still get a top job because he can deliver in the short term, but his reputation as an abrasive wanker has never been as prominent as it is now. The guy needs to spend time in the gutter, it might actually do him some good.

[Munchies]

The players have done it before, they got AVB the sack (Lampard/Big Man/Drogba etc)

They got Maureen the sack :lol:

And they'll probably start winning their games now.

[Letters]

And they'll probably start winning their games now.
I'm sure they will. I'd back them to finish top 6 now, top 4 is going to be tricky.
They're not suddenly a bad squad of players but they clearly no longer wanted to play for him.
It shows him up for the fraud he is, fine if you give him a big chequebook and you want to buy short term success, utterly toxic in the long term because of the disruption he causes.

I think it’s both and that’s why it turned so toxic. We’ve seen this with City and other Chelsea managers. After winning the league, teams get complacent so keeping them focused is difficult. It’s worse when you have mercenaries that care nothing for the club. I can’t imagine Mourinho not preparing properly for a game but I can imagine his attitude rubbing the players the wrong way. If he has loyal players he’ll find a way to piss off the board. Definitely not a long term solution but I also think his players are a disgrace.

[Letters]

I think a lot of modern players are a disgrace. Overpaid, pampered, prima-donnas, most of them.
(Not our lot though, obviously. They're lovely)

[Niall_Quinn]

"Professionals" who get paid hundreds of thousands a week and are in such an incredibly privileged position and they can't be bothered to turn out because somebody hurt their feelings? These guys should be shot to make way for kids who would cut their fucking arm off for the opportunity.

I don't think any manager in the UK has handled the modern situation quite like Fergie.

He had it as nailed on as it was possible to be with perhaps the exception of his handling of Rooney.

[Power n Glory]

Yep, Fergie is the only one.

[Heisenberg]

I'm amazed by the amount of slack he's getting. Chelsea have fired managers for far less in the last decade, you suspect that if it was anyone other than Mourinho, they'd have been shown the door weeks or months ago. Added to which, yeah, the players have to take some responsibility but it takes two to tango - if Mourinho has managed to alienate and piss off his own players so much that they throw in the towel, he has to own that. Instead, as usual, he's picked fights, blamed everyone bar himself and left acrimoniously.

For all the talk that Chelsea won't find a better manager, I'm far more concerned about them now than I was before. Say what you like about Abramovich being trigger happy, when he changes managers mid season, it tends to work.

Don't talk crazy. What is there to worry about this season? They are out of the title race. We have nothing to worry about and probably more likely to beat them with Jose gone. It's just a shame Wenger couldn't be the one to beat him before he got sacked.

[Heisenberg]

I'm not worried about them overhauling us or challenging the title. I'm just mindful that they're likely to improve and rise up the table rather than just continue to flounder.

Chelsea were always going to be a factor. Even if Mourinho survived this season, you wouldn't bet on him having this same sort of disaster. The musical merry go round with the teams already above us doesn't bother me. It's when a good manager goes to Liverpool or Spurs. The guys just below always knocking for Top 4. I worry more about those guys getting their act together,

You could argue that Pool and Spurs are already there with the managers. If Ancelotti or Simeone were to go to Spurs that would really have me quaking especially with old father time still in our managers office. The stadium moves will complete the job for them because they will be able to match us on wages too. We have basically spent the last 10 years in limbo, making millionaires into mega millionaires and fattening the club up for a Kroenke windfall. Just wait till a Chinese or Saudi consortium offers moustache 10billion to f-off and see how fast he takes the money.

http://http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/35129915

I have my own version of said letter

Dear Jose,

I remember the day you first left Chelsea it was Wednesday 19th September 2007, I'd just come back from the Emirates to learn that you'd resigned after a mixed start to the season and a rambling rant about the quality of eggs at Waitrose.
I felt that English football could well do without your antics and the way you had made personal remarks about fellow managers and referees and how you could not be content to be successful without also bringing the game into disrepute.
Lo and behold less than six years later you were back having left a trail of acrimony in your wake at Real Madrid, a club which had a bigger reputation and better class and pedigree than Chelsea had been sullied by you, and the fans were sick of you dragging their club through the gutter with you.
But nouveau rich Chelsea fans were glad to see you back, where despite having lost some of your previous lustre you bought I mean won the league with them last season and it appeared that a classless manager teamed with a classless outfit were going to prove a good fit once more.
But unfortunately your sickness got the better of you, the team were not performing after not having a proper pre season and it became everyone's fault but yours....and the longer it went on you carried on with this macabre circus act because a man with no concept of humility cannot be humbled or humiliated.
Has it never made you curious why as soon as you have managed anywhere for more than two years that it begins to unravel for you, that you seem to have contempt for the game in general otherwise you wouldn't behave the way you do, that your regard for your own importance and ego is so paramount that you must belittle other people in an ad hominem fashion at the slightest hint of perceived criticism.
Do you ever think about Anders Frisk whose career you curtailed because of the death threats you gave tacit consent to because you made insinuations that he had conspired with Frank Rijkaard to give the game to Barcelona at the nou camp in 2005, do you think of Eva Carneiro who you publically humiliated to try and find a reason as to why you failed to beat Swansea on the opening day of the season?.
I very much doubt it, because you feel justified in what you said because it was necessary to throw them under the bus to hide your own shortcomings, to hide the one thing you cannot bear and that is that you are imperfect you are flawed like the rest of us and there isn't a conspiracy out there designed to prevent you from achieving more than you have.
You have a genuine personality disorder, there may be help out there for you if you chose to accept it and realise you are locked in a spiral of self destructive behaviour. I don't care about you one way or the other but I'm sure there are those that do.

[Xhaka Can’t]

From the Calgary Flames forum I'm a member of:


Shouldn't they just make Eva Carneiro the manager? Everything fell apart as soon as she was fired by Jose.

He's failed quite specatuarly in his past two roles so there's a good chance the comedy show will go on for this season at least.

That being said they don't have the same matchday income that us and Spurs will soon have and their only advantage is a slight boost in sponsorship revenue thanks their more recent success on the pitch.

So thats both Chelsea and United handicapping themselves for next season. Top 4 should be a shoo in for us.....no?

This is an example of the problem with the human condition. Lampard knows that the Chelsea job is not right for him now. It will always be there for him. But we seldom have the nous for self introspection. He will likely tank at Chelsea and ruin his prospects for another club, whereas winning something with Derby will failure proof himself for at least the next 10 years.

You're right but Lampard might think that if for any reason things don't go right at Derby, he might not be so attractive to Chelsea. but if i was him i'd seek as many assurances as possible that they would give him 3 years and be prepared to wait a season or two while he gets bedded in

[Marc Overmars]

It might be the only time Abramovich decides to go down this route because of the transfer ban, so for Lampard it might be a now or never moment. He could be a manager for another 20 years if he wanted to, so failure for him at this stage of his career isn’t going to finish him. He’s got nothing to lose.

[SMatthews]

If Lampard continued to rise as a manager then I think he'd have other opportunities with Chelsea, especially given how often they change manager. But he won't get any assurances - no manager does in the modern game. He's ideal for Chelsea now as he's done well with a crop of young players, which is the directive Lampard would be given if the transfer bans holds up at the Chavs.

[Mac76]

yeah the transfer ban does make him more attractive for the resoasn you both give - and i get that assurances don;t count for much, but as much as they exist he should try to get what he can - which i'm sure he will.

ou'd like to think Chelsea would get that he's a special person to the club and so not treat him as so disposable

i really hope Sarri goes on to win loads btw and sticks it to the chavs
