Jose Mourinho leaves Chelsea

[The Man From G.O.P.]

I am sick, truly ill.....


Beside myself really, I know this is Abrom's fault, and I hate him for it, I cant abandon heros like Lampard and Terry, but I seriously don't knwo what to say about this.

A stupid soccer thread.  And here I was hoping for a story about Miss Clinton.

Shut up my life is over and you want to talk about that slut.

Effective immediately? Or just not renewing his contract?

Not entirely clear yet, but apparently the club had a crisis meeting a few days ago over Chelsea's start to the season.

It's the owner's fault, I hope the locals turn out and hang him in the street, I hope no one comes to upcoming matches.



This is quite terrible.

The new manager's Avram Grant.

Never heard of him.

I have, he's a fatass, "got Isreal close to the World Cup" congratuf**kinglations on that pal.

At this point if Terry and Lampard were to leave (and hopefully a few others) I'd have no second thoughts about finding a new team.

Locals? What locals? This is Chelsea we're talking about... though Stamford Bridge is actually in one of the less gentrified parts of Fulham (a statement comparable to "the least belligerent man in Serbia").

Even if no Chelsea supporters turned up, would Abramovich care? He can afford it if he is the only Chelsea fan at games. (Not that I think that this event will noticably dent Chelsea attendances.)

He owns the club, he can do what he likes.
He obviously didn't like Mourinho or his style of play - so out goes Mourinho.

Much as you may disagree, he got that team which has no evident star players to the verge of qualification. In fact, they didn't lose a game in that qualification group which included Ireland; Switzerland; and most impressively France.

Very defensively minded, but that may be because of the players he had to work with. Given the apparant importance of the style of play to Abramovich, this would probably not go down well.

At any rate, I suspect that Chelsea may well be ooking out for someone else. It looks like Grant will be managing just because he's a friend of Abramovich.

At this point if Terry and Lampard were to leave (and hopefully a few others) I'd have no second thoughts about finding a new team.

Terry signed a 5-year contract in July. Lampard though could very well leave.

Jas, I know all of these things you're not giving me any new news, the fact is Abramovich fired one of the world's best managers, and I personally (and I hope Chelsea fans) will never forgive him for it.

Gays and snotty rich people can get upset too, just you watch.

When I heard the news this morning I was very surprised, however quite excited at the same time, because I knew this would be the beginning of the downfall of Chelsea. Glory, Glory, Man United, Glory, Glory, Man United...

Is that Russian Millionaire still the boss (of course I don't mean manager) of Chelsea? Because as soon as he goes so will Chelsea, all there good players like Drogba and stuff will go and they'll be left with their new manager.

Roman Abramovich still owns the club.

[Robespierre's Jaw]

I was watching CNN earlier this morning and they were suggesting that Mourinho left the club because there were tensions between him and the Board. CNN also said that that Mourinho's replacement (what ever his name is) is a close friend of Roman Abramovich.
