Tea Bar Boy

Gullit was the one for me. Probably the sacking that made the least sense to me in all my time.
Similar to @just though regarding Neal, that was some fun times albeit without silverware. 

Indeed. Great cross from Charlie Cooke and what a header.
 

Spurs at home league cup quarter final 0-0, 1991, le saux played out wide and ripped them apart, but we couldn't score, remember getting back from game and the first Gulf war had started! Went to second leg as well at white Hart lane, we totally out played them and won comfortably, only to f**k up v sheff Wednesday in semi final

^^ Saying what he thought we wanted to hear...
He's joining the rotation list of managers. I suppose Allerdyce and Pardew have already thrown him a welcome party 😁

How does that work then? Sorry, it can't be done!

He would not have taken the job unless he is going to be backed heavily in the transfer market , look at his contract $15 mil a year ?? Never has and never will take a job without a big transfer budget available
With the NFL contract and increased revenue from the new stadium there will be a lot of money available to him I think this is the first of a number of big deals for Rottenham.
His backroom staff appointments are more interesting  some very highly rated coaches joining from Lille , he will obviously take the credit but lets see how they are playing in 6 weeks 
 

Never ceases to amaze me how many people don’t understand that Abramovich is free to come and go in this country , it’s the working bit he’s not allowed to do ( hence why he doesn’t attend matches - because as an owner it’s immediately viewed as work).
Anyway, I’ve never had a love-in with Mourinho. He won us the league when we were spending so much money pretty much anyone could have done the same. I’ll give him 2015 though but I won’t forgive the way he turned the club toxic and his despicable public treatment of Eva.
His slide downhill continued with ManU and will continue with Spurs. He’ll be happy for all of two weeks then we’ll be forced to endure his moody press conferences. Couldn’t happen to a nicer club than Tottenham - they are welcome to him.

Still find it hard to believe how quick this has unfolded from Poch's sacking to Mourinho's appointment.
I hope Spurs crash and burn under him.
Going to Spurs is unforgivable in my book.

Harry Winks Tottenham career over in the space of 24 hours.
Someone wondered what reception Moansay Mourinho will get back at the Bridge? His car set on fire hopefully. 
That first game, how good would it be to do them on a dodgy VAR decision. Moansay would explode.

Final straw as far as i'm concerned. Could stomach him at United but my respect for him as gone now he's at that lot. I would go as far as saying he has destroyed his legacy with Chelsea now.
He might win a cup or two with them but it won't be sustainable long term. 
Also it's inevitable that when we play them in December he will remind us that he won 3 titles with us as if that's an insult. Chelsea has 2 premier league titles without Mourinho. Mourinho has 0 premier league titles without Chelsea. 

just when you think he couldn't raise the bar even higher for the most hated man in football role he does this .............. at least they are getting the 2019 version of JM not the 2004 version starting to look more more like Gloria Swanson ....  " I am big ..........it's the clubs that got smaller "

Glad we can finally put this ‘Chelsea man’ bollocks to rest. I can’t believe he had the audacity to talk about the academy in his statement 😂

I'll say again. I'm delighted he has gone to Le Arse. I think he'll add considerably to their problems.
As another poster has already said you can be sure he will turn up at the Bridge and give 200% against us. Pretty sure our fans will give 300% against him.

I'm okay with it. He had to go in all probability, for the sake of morale, in order for Frank to maintain authority. Luiz is very close to Willian and Kenedy so that's another one to keep an eye on. They both appear to be moody players, so if they're not playing, they'll be sharing stories with Luiz. Frank will have to be on his toes. He needs total commitment.
 
We've got two powerful rugged defenders in Zouma and Rudiger, and two more refined defenders in Christensen and Tomori, so my guess is that we'll have one of each as our CB pair, and we'll see a bit of rotation, particularly in the cup games. This is a very big chance for our young CBs to cement a spot. They'll be pleased to see the back of Luiz.
 
With Luiz there I always felt it would be hard for Frank to drop him as it would cause problems, and therefore it was hard to see how any of the younger defenders could cement that first team spot. I think this is a smart move by Frank.
 
Interestingly, we resisted selling Zouma to Everton, for big money, and we've also kept Tomori, so Frank may have had a hunch all along about Luiz. I'm very excited about this season, particularly with so many academy graduates. I don't hold out high hopes for silverware or a great PL campaign, but it's the start of a very exciting journey hopefully. So many youngsters in the squad who can build a bond with the club and the fans. Reece James, Tomori, Christensen, Mount, RLC, CHO and Abraham. That's 7 academy graduates who could all get significant game-time. It also sends a great message to our current academy crop, as they can finally see a pathway to the first team. I don't think there's any reason to be upset about this. Luiz was a character but he was high maintenance. I think it's the best thing we could have done.
 
Do I think less of Luiz? Yes I do. He could have stayed, he could have supported the manager, he could have tried to impress, he could have fought for his place, he could have mentored the younger players, he could have been a good example, but it was all about him. Going to one of our rivals in these circumstances tells us a lot. I liked Luiz, I thought the positives outweighed the negatives, he's a big personality he's talented and he's a winner. Furthermore, I'm unconvinced by Christensen and the jury is very much out on Zouma and Tomori, but we'll never know if they don't get games, and at least now they're going to play, and that has me very excited.
 
Frank will build a special atmosphere. With Luiz around that was impossible, so all in all this was the right decsion. He's well past his peak, he's never been a great defender and he's joining a group with a weaker mentality. We really needn't be too worried. It's not like we've sold them peak John Terry.

Totally disagree. He is not a good defender and always has a mistake in him. I would be very happy to see him in the Arsenal back line.
Not at all surprised at this news. There have always been rumours that Frank and Luiz don't get on.

To be fair we have no idea wheter Lamps have stamped his authority or not. This is just speculation. Who knows how this have boiled down.

Goal.com and the daily mail...... No. 

Very Happy to see Frank back home and of course Jody .
  It's Chelsea , we all know it's going to be a rollercoaster ride of highs and lows lets hope there are more highs than lows .   Fingers crossed the internet "fans ? " allow a team and ethos to be built and mature .   If Roman gets to fulfill his aim of creating a dynasty and legacy at Chelsea where we have past present and future full of Chelsea blood at the heart and every level of the club now is the time.   Does he have enough experience ? have a look at the managers at club and international level he has played under ....I don't think for one second he hasn't studied and worked out the best and worst of each manager and used these times to bring together his own methods . He knows how important the DNA of a dressing room is and how to create a winning team.   Exciting times , I can't wait for the journey to begin  

Soon...

Wouldn't touch him with a barge pole. Has won nothing.

Cech is here now, waiting for Frank now and about Michy I think Abraham is better option for Chelsea

My joy overfloweth!! Better than an orgasm! (If I could remember what that was like!)

This thread is akin to a Chelsea Supporter not bothering to support the team when things go downhill (next season?) and then turning up at Wembley when they somehow happen to make the Cup Final.
You should all be ashamed of yourselves you glory hunters - where were you when the forum was sh*te?!!!
