Sacked just now. I'm not a Chelsea fan but that's ****ing ridiculous.

Terry better keep his head down.
Did you ever notice that in every painting of Adam & Eve, they have belly buttons. Think about that...take as long as you want.
2 finals and no trophies and played crap football.... dont think its that big a surprise at a club with the resources that Chelsea have
Its really not that complicated!!!
He did take the club far but it's pretty evident that he's not a top class manager and a club like Chelsea, with its financial backing, players and overall potential, can attract someone who has a proven record in TOP leagues.
Thanks Avram. He did well but I'm not heartbroken with him gone.
Here's hoping Mancini comes in. I hope to God Frank Rijkaard doesn't get near the job. I hate him.

He didn't seem to have the full support and when you don't have that being sacked is always going to be the outcome.Originally Posted by holidaysong
To be fair he was a bit out of his depth, and the chelsea players kind of took control, i mean he never took a coaching seesion with them, etc
but then there are a lot of managers out there that dont actually coach - Sven to name but one of many
Mancini would be a disaster
So would Rijkard
Mancini is rubbish SuperFrank, have you watched Inter under his tenure? They've won the title by default
Always on the cards, even since he was appointed.
Still feel sorry for the guy, had a (statiscally) better record than Mourinho in the Premiership, got to 2 finals, and was the width of the post from winning the Champions' League
The thing is, who's going to want the job, knowing that the only way to keep it is to win the Champions' League? Even winning the League 2 years in a row wasn't good enough for Mourinho!
Very true, it's the same poisoned chalice as Real Madrid.
I hope they appoint Sven!!!
They still won it! They were run ridiculously close this year but still held on. Inter are similar to Chelsea in spending power in that both can splash the cash and bring in top players. Mancini has proven this year that he can control a team of top players and win the title.
The more I think about it, I have a strange feeling Henk Ten Caate could become manager. He won the league with Ajax, iirc.

Very simplistic summing up there. There's a whole lot more to Mourinho leaving and we'll probably never know the whole of it.

Against zero opposition. Ten Caate left Ajax after about a season to join Chelsea. He's a Number 2

It will be Guus Hiddink IMO, and that would be a good choice. He's a world class coach, took South Korea to 4th place in 2002 and Australia were robbed in 2006 - I think Russia could go far this summer, and if I was him I'd stick with Russia as with the young talent they have coming through and the ever increasing strength of the league I can see them being serious contenders for 2010... He also gets on with big Roman A and speaks reasonable Russian so I can see him being installed after the Euros. I wouldnt be suprised to see Slaven Bilic in the frame too.
Ten Cate didn't win the league with Ajax, although he went incredibly close in losing out to PSV on goal difference by a single goal. I do think he's an excellent assistant though - probably the brains behind Barca's period of dominance - and could make an excellent manager in future.

Very harsh sacking, a slip away from winning the Champions league.
Would probably have won the Premiership if he had been in charge all season.
His successor will probably be a flop.
Inter are my European (bar Premiership) team and they won the Scudetto despite best efforts of Mancini. Disgraceful treatment of Grant, but Roubles talk and bullsh*t walks. Mark Hughes will be next Chelsea manager
"Billy Corgan, Smashing Pumpkins."
"Homer Simpson, smiling politely."
Proabably the fact that Chelsea never played attractive football under him.
You are all missing the wrong point (love that phrase)
Even if Terry had scored the pen, Grant would have gone. he was only a stopgap for the season and Chelsea's results were better than they expected.
If they had won the CL he would still be gone - this is not about results - this is about finance and the triple requirement to play sexy football, win and grow the brand to compete with Man U.
Now, if he had won the CL, they would have finessed him away, possibly to the mythical "upstairs" as director of some waste of time function but there is no way he would have been coach.
