Saint-Armstrong Posted 17 December, 2015 Posted 17 December, 2015 Guus Hiddink stepping in again until the end of the season.

Lallana's Left Peg Posted 17 December, 2015 Posted 17 December, 2015 Fools. Millions spent just to cement their position as a club who'll sack the next guy for a bad run too. They'll never dominate the way they do things. Can't do well every season. Daft to sack him first time, daft to sack Ancelotti. The players at that club have too much power, that is the problem as I see it.
Give it to Ron Posted 17 December, 2015 Posted 17 December, 2015 Love it that Mail twitter is touting Brendan as quick fix....yep he did so well at Reading and Liverpool....
Whitey Grandad Posted 17 December, 2015 Posted 17 December, 2015 Reports of £40m compensation. I wish I could fail so spectacularly.
Sour Mash Posted 17 December, 2015 Posted 17 December, 2015 The correct decision in my eyes, he'd completely lost it. Don't know why or what was behind it all?
L_O_Z Posted 17 December, 2015 Posted 17 December, 2015 Bonkers mad. Never heard of such a ridiculous decision and I hate the guy. There isn't a better manager still in the game and I can only imagine they want Pep, but its not like he's even a step up. Perhaps on par with Jose but not better. All they had to do was cast out the drift wood and replace a few players, bad form is bad form. It happens and I think Chelsea have too much money. Hope their fans are ****ed off
angelman Posted 17 December, 2015 Posted 17 December, 2015 People say joke, madness etc but weren't there some really serious problems behind the scenes?? I think it the right thing to do.
Whitey Grandad Posted 17 December, 2015 Posted 17 December, 2015 The correct decision in my eyes, he'd completely lost it. Don't know why or what was behind it all? This is where it all went Pete Tong:
sadoldgit Posted 17 December, 2015 Posted 17 December, 2015 B*gger, I expect their results will improve now.
VectisSaint Posted 17 December, 2015 Posted 17 December, 2015 Glad to see the back of him, but to be honest Chelsea should have sacked some of the players, not the manager. Almost seems odd for a PL manager to have been sacked and Saints not the most recent team to beat them.
warsash saint Posted 17 December, 2015 Posted 17 December, 2015 I reckon Jose would have turned it around so Chelsea should have waited until end of season - what's the new guy gonna do anyway ? They won't be relegated but they won't win league either. Mind you £40mm!! I suspect he has had worse days.

He's clearly lost the players, they don't want to play for him and the majority look uninterested. Plus his own weird behaviour, treatment of staff etc, showing no signs of turning things around, I don't blame them for getting rid. To be honest, part of me reckons he wanted to be sacked. Definitely strange goings on there though, never seen Champions perform so badly so quickly.
OldNick Posted 17 December, 2015 Posted 17 December, 2015 I think it was all to do with the strange summer tour where they didnt get a proper pre-season.
david in sweden Posted 17 December, 2015 Posted 17 December, 2015 The players at that club have too much power, that is the problem as I see it. ....money is the correct word. Goodness knows how much they're paid....if £100K /week is the average...?....it's a long term commitment that they are saddled with. Abrahamovic's patience must be wearing thin......he saved them from bankruptcy, but ....would he think to cut his losses and leave a new owner with the salary burden?
Hatch Posted 17 December, 2015 Posted 17 December, 2015 Now, who is the best unemployed manager out there. Oh, it's Mourinho, they better re-hire him.
Whitey Grandad Posted 17 December, 2015 Posted 17 December, 2015 ....money is the correct word.

Abrahamovic's patience must be wearing thin......he saved them from bankruptcy, but ....would he think to cut his losses and leave a new owner with the salary burden? Was it Alan Ball who said that he was trying to give his team a pep talk and then realised that it was a waste of time because he was talking to a bunch of multi-millionaires.

Definitely strange goings on there though, never seen Champions perform so badly so quickly. I understand what you're saying but what's the alternative? Maybe he did lose the dressing room. He was wrong to treat the doctors like he did but all those players and staff are replaceable. I dont think he is and I dont think they'll go back to winning titles without him.
davefoggy Posted 17 December, 2015 Posted 17 December, 2015 Please, please let Brenda be the caretaker. Best xmas prsent ever
Winchester Red Posted 17 December, 2015 Posted 17 December, 2015 Please, please let Brenda be the caretaker. Best xmas prsent ever I know what you mean but surely not even Brenda could do worse with that squad. He'd come out smelling of roses
Window Cleaner Posted 17 December, 2015 Posted 17 December, 2015 I reckon Jose would have turned it around so Chelsea should have waited until end of season - what's the new guy gonna do anyway ? They won't be relegated but they won't win league either. Mind you £40mm!! I suspect he has had worse days. Only getting about 11 million apparently, probably wants to work again soon so has agreed a lesser amount. May have even wanted to get sacked if he's got something he fancies more lined up. Favourite to take over at Utd apparently.........
Toomer Posted 17 December, 2015 Posted 17 December, 2015 Chelsea supporting mate said after we did them at the Bridge if we are not in the top six at Christmas Roman will sack him.
Batman Posted 17 December, 2015 Posted 17 December, 2015 to be fair, most clubs on the run they are on would see their manager at best, under massive pressure. Let alone chelsea sticking with a manager for them hardly brings success
JackFrost Posted 17 December, 2015 Posted 17 December, 2015 This is where it all went Pete Tong: Yep, As soon as he scapegoated Carneiro for that result it spread through the players and the coaching staff. It was evident from then he wouldn't take responsibility for anything and he lost the players from then on. It's been hilarious seeing them going from loss to loss with a completely useless body blaming everyone else for his failings

aintforever Posted 17 December, 2015 Posted 17 December, 2015 Reports of £40m compensation. Looks to me like he wanted to get sacked, he will have something else lined up. I expect when Roman came calling he saw the opportunity to fleece him.

BARCELONASAINT Posted 17 December, 2015 Posted 17 December, 2015 Anyone that watched the Leicester v Chelsea game would have seen that something was not right. Eden Hazzard last year almost unplayable at times could not wait to get off the pitch.....injured my arse....there was nothing in the tackle or the way he landed that would have caused a player to leave the field injured. If i'm still playing at 51 and getting wacked from challenges and playing on then i'm bloody certain a young Premiership player can get up and carry on playing from a light hearted nudge!!!!........Mourinho lost the players with his bizzare behaviour i have absolutely no doubt....in my opinion he only lasted this long because of what he has previously achieved.
saint lard Posted 17 December, 2015 Posted 17 December, 2015 Diego Simeone will take over long term....and they will get Antoine Griezmann in the package. Lucky buggers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
austsaint Posted 17 December, 2015 Posted 17 December, 2015 Not recognising and valuing the talent of Lukaku enough goes down as a huge early blunder by Mourinho. The trouble with so many of these "special" Managers seems to be their appetite for buying established superstars at the expense of developing or spotting the potential of players. I'd like to see how well Mourinho would get on at a Club like Bournemouth or Watford - probably no better than the incumbents.
redder freak Posted 17 December, 2015 Posted 17 December, 2015 He lost the dressing room right there.
suewhistle Posted 17 December, 2015 Posted 17 December, 2015 Maybe he did lose the dressing room. He was wrong to treat the doctors like he did but all those players and staff are replaceable. 'Maybe he did'.. and you dismiss it like that as if it weren't important? They haven't been playing for him, that much is evident and he even said as much after the Leicester game "They've betrayed me"... So how is a wholesale change going to happen, (and when, of course..) and the only new people to be attracted would purely be there for the money and why would he be more succesful with them? Nah, pity he's gone as it was getting quite amusing, but for their own sake the club had to do it.
CB Fry Posted 17 December, 2015 Posted 17 December, 2015 One of two jobs next for him. 1. Back to Real. 2. England.
suewhistle Posted 17 December, 2015 Posted 17 December, 2015 http://cdn.caughtoffside.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Carneiro1.jpg A more appropriate photograph.. :-)

It's not important when you're bigger than the players. It's not important when you're the best at your job. Players seem to have this care free attitude when it comes to football. Do what they want, hold clubs to ransom, disrespect themselves, their managers and their clubs and if they don't get their way they play like they cbf. He's better than all of the players, but its easier to be narrow minded and just sack him. Again as much as I hate the guy and think the one real mistake he made was EC, I still think they are now in a worse position.
skintsaint Posted 18 December, 2015 Posted 18 December, 2015 Sign of our current form to not see Ronald linked to the job.
CB Fry Posted 18 December, 2015 Posted 18 December, 2015 Sign of our current form to not see Ronald linked to the job. Not really. Unlikely he'd have been linked this time last year either.

Mourinho seems to me to have been angling for the sack, he's probably got something else lined up, you have to wonder what is going on behind the scenes.

warsash saint Posted 18 December, 2015 Posted 18 December, 2015 Sign of our current form to not see Ronald linked to the job. Big Dave Merrington on Solent yesterday saying RK's name would be in the frame.
Professor Posted 18 December, 2015 Posted 18 December, 2015 Mourinho - is he a suitable case for treatment? A man in his position should not have lost his temper so spectacularly at the first match against Swansea or treated the club doctor so badly but his behaviour continued to appear irrational, as shown by his statements after Saints' beat Chelsea 3-1. If Chelsea, as a club, gave their manager the advice and support he needed to calm his behaviour and he failed to accept it, then dismissal was inevitable. If they did not, the club would have to share the blame for how things have gone. An apology after the Eva Carneiro incident saying his outburst was just in the heat of the moment could have changed everything.
John Boy Saint Posted 18 December, 2015 Posted 18 December, 2015 I have to say the SSN coverage last night when Mrs JBS flicked up through the channels was cringeworthy....... "we believe the person in the black coat walking out of the Cobham training ground is Mourinho" as they showed a shot from the Sky "sack-cam" Helicopter.
