Official Chelsea statement Chelsea Football Club and Jose Mourinho have today parted company by mutual consent. All at Chelsea thank Jose for his immense contribution since he returned as manager in the summer of 2013. His three league titles, FA Cup, Community Shield and three League Cup wins over two spells make him the most successful manager in our 110-year history. But both Jose and the board agreed results have not been good enough this season and believe it is in the best interests of both parties to go our separate ways. The club wishes to make clear Jose leaves us on good terms and will always remain a much-loved, respected and significant figure at Chelsea. His legacy at Stamford Bridge and in England has long been guaranteed and he will always be warmly welcomed back to Stamford Bridge. The club’s focus is now on ensuring our talented squad reaches its potential. There will be no further comment until a new appointment is made.The Unemployed one. Another J.S.A. claimant sic Jose's Special Absent!

But you have to ask yourself why they're not doing that though surely? Man-management is a massive part of it and his acting the dick has clearly pissed those key players off. I think they lost a lot of respect for him over the Carneiro thing and a little bit more was lost every time he found a new scapegoat. Players throw their toys out of the pram all the time,its never their fault and its always the manager who pays the price. Just once i'd like to see the players get it in the neck for essentially not doing what they are employed to do. It's never Jose's fault is it? He's always got someone to blame. He can't have it both ways. It can't be none of his fault when they don't perform yet he's a genius when they do can he?

Hiddink 'til the summer by the looks of it Hiddink turns 70 (seventy) next Birthday doesn't he? Nothing at all wrong with a bit of experience but do you think they will really go down that route rather than a young thruster? Ok we get it. You keep waxing lyrical about this guy that's gone into space Gods, But do we really want every aspect of space travel THRUSTER into our face at every turn. I think not.

That's a third of last season's top 9 managers sacked, two more under severe pressure and another one who needs to get his finger out.
Mental.

After the Mourinho sacking, 4 questions.
1/ Have Chelsea fucked up. Jose is without doubt a great manager ?
2/ What will be the public opinion IF Chelsea's players suddenly start turning up and winning again ? Will that mean the players deliberately destroyed Chelsea's season and betrayed the club & it's fans ?
3/ Will he manage in England again ?
4/ If Hughes was to leave us soon, and Jose was available, would you want him at Stoke City ? He clearly has a soft spot for Stoke, it maybe far fetched to think he'd come here although we have cash, potential, ambition, a great chairman and existing squad to offer, but would you have him ?
I don't want Hughes to leave us, no way. But although he has baggage and is followed by a circus, but I have to say that as a Mourinho fan, I'd gladly have him here. (His reputation is tarnished now, and we are something of a stray dogs home) !!

Extremely unlikely anyway.

In my opinion, if Chelsea DON'T turn their season around and finish in a respectable position then sacking Mourinho WILL have been a huge mistake as he would have corrected the situation anyway next season. But, if they DO start playing like the team they are and winning again, it will suggest some form of mutiny from the players to get Jose sacked. But their season, except the Champions League (which to be fair is number 1 priority for them) and the FA Cup, is in tatters. But their league season will be an embarrassment and damaging. We shall see in May, I guess.

There was no sign that things were going to get better and if a manager has lost the respect of his players there's no way back for him.

The doctor debacle was an embarrassment and he's said & done some stupid things since too. But the players have been spineless & gutless on the pitch though. After winning the League and with the squad there, It's a bizarre situation, for sure. It's going to be very interesting to see how the remaining half of the season pans out for them, very interesting indeed.

Jose always came over as a really bright guy with a twinkle in his eye and a self-deprecating sense of humour. He's lost all that this year and become arrogant and very churlish, no better exemplified by his disgraceful treatment of the doctor followed by a pig-headed refusal to back down.
He could have ridden this run of bad results but we've all got fed up of him so there's not many all that sorry he's gone. He'll get work of course, but his CV will never be quite as good as it was.
Shame really. He was once a breath of fresh air but even the special ones amongst us need to clean their teeth occasionally.

CD I agree with your point but lets look at how many managers have lost the "Chelsea dressing room" is it really down to the manager, or is it chairman interference or perhaps a few of the influential players. Yes Mourinho has lost the dressing room and his antics recently have left him, to say the least, exposed but poor man management is a mute point. In many ways Chelsea is a dysfunctional club, rooted in money and the desire of the owner to win everything and everything in style and every year, I'm not sure how you progress a club over time in that circumstances where time is not available and you can't gamble on youth. It's always a short time fix and a short time money oriented project, it's the premiership at it's worst.

By the third year everyone's knackered and pissed off to the back teeth with him.

Mourinho has always been an egotistical twat but prior to this season and a half was a likeable egotistical twat. This season he has become an objectionable egotistical twat. His interviews used to be interesting, now they are cringeworthy. His ego is out of control and he's lost it as a credible manager, he's got to take a good long look at himself before going for his next job

CD , Yeah, that is of course possible, but perhaps that's now the norm for managing the big clubs where big ego's rule, whether it be the chairman or the players. It's hard judge where the blame lies, I think in one of your posts you talked about shades of grey which are, of course, multitudinous. Take away our prejudices, conjecture and our inability to sometimes extrapolate (and I mean all of us) fact from myth we live in a world which is driven by an "instant answer or response" . Mourinho was never as good or as bad as any of would like, he's part of the game.

'Extrapolate' should be worthy of a bonus star surely, multitudinous is also worthy of mention.
