Just heard he's left chelsea tonight its on five live
Reports on Sky News that Jose Mourinho has left Chelsea. Just speculation at the moment.Nobody knows if he has left of his own accord or has been sacked.
On BBC website now.
Sacked according to the times online site
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/spo...cle2493403.ece
sacked according to a senior chelski player aswell
Apparently, they'd 25,000 at the Rosenberg match and that was the straw that broke the camels back. A ridiculous decision.
Get ready Guus, your time has come.
It looks like the start of Abramovichs itchy feet. I imagine he'll become as trigger-happy as the Madrid presidents within the next few years.
I never went along with the idea that he should've won them a CL title after spending that money, given that you must win so many ties on the day.
Premiership will be a more boring league without him.
mutual consent
Statement at half one.
Chelsea Football Club and José Mourinho have agreed to part company today (Thursday) by mutual consent.
Good!
I hope this will learn the trophy-greedy f*cker at the head of the club that you can't treat managers like sh*t and try and meddle in their job.
Mourinho is a great manager and Chelsea will be the poorer without him. Now he's gone I expect a situation like at Hearts where the manager is basically a yes-man with the chairman controlling everything.
Getting rid of Mourinho for not winning the Champions' league when they are competing with clubs who essentially have the same buying power (ie limitless, or near enough) is just wrong. Abramovich has made a big decision to let him go and he could be on the end of a lot of stick from the supporters if things don't go their way.
If Abramovich decided to pay big bucks for a great top class manager he need not look further than Fabio Capello.
Although he would be unlikely to accept a role where he'll be blamed for everything and never allowed to get on with the job after experiencing Real Madrid shoddy treatment (twice).
Bangon SMacD but I'd say he'll go with Huudink unless Abramovich had a chat with Juande Ramos in london tonight. They'd want to move quick and I guess they will.
The Chelsea fans are too spoilt to kick up a fuss but i got the impression that he was as close to the players as their teammates.
I'd expect a bit of an unsetled period on the pitch in the next few months.
They won't be right for Old Trafford anyway at all.
Looks like Abramovich is hoping to snap up Stan when he becomes available, maybe he knows something we don't ;)
Mourinho for Ireland! I can hear the new Lansdowne road already, jose....jose jose jose....jose....jose:eek:Quote:

How come our World Class manager hasn't been linked with the job?
In a strangled effort to fit this into this forum,
If (as is possible!) Mourinho moves to Spurs, I can see Robbie etiher departing or playing as a winger (like Robben did)
The second might be quite good for us
According to the BBC Grant will get the nod. A crazy situation, the "real" Chelsea fans will be disgusted.
I think it's a bit early to be calling Ski McGee world class now!Quote:

Abramovich wnats "sexy football", capello isn't going to give him that.
There were two at the Wales game:mad:Quote:

Why mention Robben? Why not Duff? Or do you think Robben was a striker? He wasn't.Quote:

Capello is every bit as conservative as Mourinho hence the mad Russian (I give it six months before a tabloid calls him that) won't be interestedQuote:

I assume Chelsea think he's an unrealistic target. ;)Quote:

Not sure what to think of it right now. I would've preferred Ramos, Hiddink or Capello. As for Mourinho, well Scolari's contract expires after Euro 2008....... I wish him the best of luck.
As a real Chelsea fan, I remember the Glenn Hoddle/Gullitt years with pain, I'm concerned and confused.
Mourinho was a very good manager. His time at Leiria (top three with no money in Portugal where they have a Big Three (Porto, Benfica, Sporting) that is near impossible to break, Boavista being the only team outside those three to win it since 1946) showed his promise, at Porto (winning back to back titles, UEFA Cup and CL at a team that were seriously struggling when he came in) he fulfilled it and a Chelsea he did well (first title in 50 years, every domestic trophy in three years).
Yes, he didn't lead us to the CL but he was doing a good job and he shouldn't have been sacked. The players loved him and most of the fans loved him.
Last season, we stumbled in not retaining the title (which imo is infinitely times more important than the CL) but Man U had a very good season and we still got second place.
I don't think one draw in the CL and 5th in the league after one month deserves a sacking. Which leads me to believe the stories about boardroom trouble. I'm sure Arnesen and perhaps to some extent Grant himself were one of many problems.
I still think they should have stuck with him. Good managers work through tough patches, good clubs have faith in their managers. Stability is the key to continuous sucess. Look at Man U, Arsenal. I'm starting to fear we may become the next Blackburn, here one minute, gone the next and a mangerial revolving door or a Hearts situation won't help.
I do however think that talks of a crisis, as propelled by Dunphy on the news just there, are crap. They've moved quick to appoint a new manager and at least the players know him.
Also, I don't think they'll sink without a whimper on Sunday. Surely going to Old Trafford and getting jeered, as I'm sure those kind Mancunians will, ought to rile the players up no end. Well, here's hoping.
