Mourinho oot.....

[Heilandee]

nae such thing as a safe job in fitba eh?

Jose OOT

[Guest Chemist]

Wonder if Mr Savage could afford to pull him into the cause for a month or two now he's looking for a new club. If thats a none starter do you think we could get Shevchenko and Ballack on loan til Christmas.

High price for failure. 3 seasons, 6 major trophies, unbeaten in 60 home league games. Struggling 5th in league after a month. Somehow me thinks a massive bullet has gone into Chelsea's proverbial foot. Time will tell.

[tm4tj]

Good, he is an arrogant little man. :sillywave:

[Alex MacLeod]

Jose no longer wants to be a puppet to the russian mafia.

[chris123]

jeez that was fast

[RiG]

Gutted to see him leave. I loved his interviews after games - always good for a laugh! He's never wanted Sheva or Ballack there. Can't help but see shades of Hearts andtheir antics in all of this...

[davieB]

Agree RIG. There's too few people like Jose in football these days. I'd far listen to his bizarre ramblings then listen to someone like that boring **** Benitez.

Brilliant manager too. There's obviously something going on at Chelsea, and you can't help thinking this is a huuuuuuuuuuuuge mistake by Abramovich....or however you spell it.

Think they'll poach Brew????

And how about Jose for Spurs?

[Yngwie]

The most entertaining manager around.

[RiG]

Whichever one of Schuster Rijkaard gets sacked first is where I would expect him to end up. Until the odd announcement this morning of Avram Grant taking up the position as Head Coach I thought someone like Capello might have been in there.

[Guest pompeyjags]

is anyone honestly surprised with this, to be fair, the speculation was around ages ago when avram grant left portsmouth for chelsea??? not that anyone will think much of this but, mourinho for england job if they dont make euro 2008??? :024:

either way chelsea have messed up here...

[chris123]

Hes always said he wants to manage portugal at some stage in his career

[FortressICT]

jose was the best manager we ever had but everyone could see the signs of something like this happening.he was an amazing manager,did so much 4 us,brought in so many amazing and talented players and has changed us 4ever in a good way.he will be very much missed and i wish him the best of luck in the future...top man,top manager - LEGEND!!

avram grant will do good.

[Proctor]

Chelsea are not a football club, their an advertisment. Hes better off away from that place.

[monthecaley]

disappointed. showed gordon strachan how to be actually funny in a post-match interview

anyone actually have money on him being the first premiership manager down?

[Kingsmills]

Even with his bank balance the reported twelve million pound pay off must ease the pain a little.

[RiG]

Whichever one of Schuster Rijkaard gets sacked first is where I would expect him to end up. Until the odd announcement this morning of Avram Grant taking up the position as Head Coach I thought someone like Capello might have been in there.

That said, I doubt he would like the interference from higher up at Madrid given what's been going on at Chelski.

[Guest Glen Mhor]

The Match of the Day post-match interviews are going to be all the poorer without the wee guy. He was a one-off but a great manager. Good luck to him wherever he springs up next. :clapping03:

[Guest eliza]

I always thought the "wee guy" was a sulky so-and-so and had a face like a "well skelped *rse". 

But, good luck to him, with his umpteen millions in pay-off!

[Mee]

I'm gutted, his interviews were always entertaining and he took being mean and moody to a whole new level  :003:

What I wouldn't give to have him as our manager instead of our present incumbent  :001:
