Mourinho sacked! Chelsea managerless...
-
capello for me will be the best candidate for the job
ronald koeman would be good too.. -
To be honest, it was shocking to read this morning... But then again, i expected this to happen since last season already cos i once said that jose's style of management will cost other club fans as well as ordinary football fans to dislike chelsea as a football club... He may have won them some titles but he has not won them much fans... And to be the "Biggest Club" in the world, they need new fans... but its not easy when you have a manager that goes around creating trouble with almost everyone (from Uefa officials to fellow managers to Scotland Yard.) making your club unlikeable...
Mourinho is a PR disaster from the very first day when the said he is the "Special One". That arrogance made him a target for ridicule. -
why is GP so quiet about Mourinho's departure?
I've got a feeling Lampard and Drogba may also leave end of the season. -
WDF?!
he is the bes thing that ever happened to chelsea
they are making a big mistake. and to do this when the season has already started with a big game coming in a few days.
i rather roman leave than mourinho -
must be roman.. i knew it.. by right its still early in the season..chelsea are not out of anything yet...
avram grant is useless.. -
no, roman is still the key behind mourinho. but roman should have sacked mourinho either end of last season or end of this one, not now..Originally posted by used:WDF?!

mourinho has a big ego, by forcing him to do things against his wishes its just a time bomb waiting to explode.
the sheva episode is ok, the play attacking football is ok.. but frank arnesen and avram grant is not.. -
yeah, Chelsea in deep shyt, Terry etc confirm kpkb. Bought the newpaper when i saw it on the front page

Oh my gosh....to do this at the start of the season, before a big game? Wtf is Roman doing? I think most likely candidate is Capello.But he will certainly not play the attacking fottball Roman craves for.

i dun think so and i hope not.Originally posted by glacer:that avram grant is chelsea's new manager?
but he'll be taking charge of the match at OT.
look at avram grant's face, none of the players will respect him, i expect us to get whipped man..
i can only hope they rebel against grant and stay true to whatever mourinho was planning against man utd. -
Its over stated lah... No need too worry. When Capello was sack by Real people thought they would suffer but looking at them right now, i think the bosses may have actually got it right.
Mourinho is a good football manager but he seem to have a personality problem... And like they said, No matter how good you are, but if you have a flaw character... You are still bad.
His problem with his own players like Gallas is well known... Accusing him of planning to score own goals were rather silly. Why he still consider Hilario over Cudicini when Cech is out i still find it strange. And he ended up with SWP at such a price and let Robben go is also weird... Lying to the Scotland Yard over a dog and putting a risk to the general public shows that he doesn't seem to respect authorities.
At the end, i believe it will prove to be a right decision by Roman... Cos Mourinho was only taking chelsea down in the popularity level... For a club that spent so much money, have so many quality players only manage to attract 24,000 fans to the stadium on their opening European night is quite shocking... maybe even 1/3 are away fans... Like i said earlier, He may have won them some titles but he has not won them much fans...
If in their home country they can only have so few fans... What about the world across? I guess not many would take to the blues for a number of reasons... But mainly cos of its manager.
The big question is, Where are the real Chelsea fans? After 3, 4 yrs of success and the numbers isn't growing... There must seriously be some worry by the managements. Are the fans there just for the successful ride and have no root to the club? Or could it be due to the bad publicity that the club usually receive cos of their manager's behaviour? There is more to this than just football concerns i belief, the club's overall well being and long term image may have played a part. Imagine that they are planning to expand their stadium to 60,000 like Arsenal or maybe even 70,000... But where are the fans?
Mourinho's time at chelsea can simply be put in this way... Result wise, Good. Overall Club Performance: Poor.
I once said that i would be worried should they sack mourinho one day and replace him with someone more likeable and play better attacking football prehaps like frank rijkard... Cos with Roman's money it could really make them a team people would like to watch play and also support not only because it is winning but going to matches cos they expect to see exciting stuff on display match after match. -
Drogba may have no problems. But Lampard? Provided if anyone wants him, and if he's willing to take a probable pay-cut.Originally posted by trendz:why is GP so quiet about Mourinho's departure?

OMFG? IS THIS FCUKING TRUE?
JESUS, ALTHO I AM MAN U FAN, I MUST GIVE CREDIT WHEN IT IS DESERVED
HOLY MOTHER OF PEARL! -
Honestly, I think the sacking is a big mistake.
And apparently, quite a number of EPL fans (of various clubs) share that view...

I don't think anyone can deny that Mourinho is at least mildly entertaining! -
We'll be backed to Wenger vs Fergie for mind games now.

Don't win the FA Cup if you're Chelsea manager
Mourinho won it in 2006/7 season. Sacked the next season
Gullit won it in 97. Sacked the next season.
Vialli won it in 2000. Sacked the next season.
I guess this is an interesting piece of news. -

Hahaha... i didn't know this bit of his-story...Originally posted by stellazio:Don't win the FA Cup if you're Chelsea manager

So future Chelsea managers should stay well clear of the FA cup from now on...

Grant set to take over at Chelsea
Chelsea are set to name Avram Grant as their new manager replacing former boss Jose Mourinho, BBC Sport understands. The Israeli, who was the club's director of football, will take charge alongside assistant Steve Clarke.
Grant will be confirmed as Stamford Bridge boss later today, BBC Sport's Garry Richardson has revealed. The 51-year-old is a close friend of Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich and his summer arrival at the club came after opposition from Mourinho.
Mourinho told Grant not to interfere with team affairs but the Israeli's position was strengthened with a seat on the board. Grant previously held the position of technical director at Portsmouth before moving to Chelsea. He guided Israel to the brink of World Cup qualification in 2006, having also coached Israeli sides Maccabi Tel-Aviv and Maccabi Haifa. -
Fark Avram Grant man, the Israeli military setup is anytime more well organized then yours..
