i was shocked to wake today to find that
Chelsea Football Club and José Mourinho have agreed to part company today (Thursday) by mutual consent.
this quote from the chelsea web site doesn’t exactly give a lot away. josé took chelsea to winning the premiership twice, the FA cup, and the league cup twice all in three years. what more could you ask for?! i thought he was fantastic as a manager – fun, entertaining, arrogant, a wind up merchant, and brought a real edge to the premiership. it’s easy to forget that when he arrived man united and arsenal were dominant. chelsea fans will be absolutely gutted.
no doubt stories will come out about why – the rift with abramovich, a stuttering start to the season, too many chiefs and not enough control given to the manager… but it makes no sense and i would guess the players will be gutted (apart from shevchenko maybe).
can’t believe it- absolutely gutted! his remarks this week about eggs and (h)omelette reminded me what mourinho brought to the english game and now the special one is gone- gutted!
Gutted. First, that the special one is gone. Second, that this could turn out to be a crap season. Third and biggest of all, that Chelsea have committed regicide again.
even as a Liverpool fan am upset to see the man leave….he provided spice into the premiership and I hope Chelsea can still be as competitive without him
I was just pleased that I had £50 at 200/1 on him being the 1st Premiership manager to lose his job – hehe – if only!
Can I be the first to point out that the Sun front page today has the headline “Get Your Coat”
shame….just waiting for him to take the helm at the mighty QPR..!
