What's the difference between the vilified Florentino Perez and this club's Roman Abramovich? The negative? The same, both are harming their clubs with short term madness and regretting their decisions a few months later when they realize the damage they caused with their impulsiveness. When they know it's irreversible, they throw money at it or doing more damage to the system with desperate attempts to solve the issue. Apparently both are also stupid enough to repeat their worst mistakes and now, after years of being in the game, it's never going to change. In moments like this? I wish I could, but unfortunately I can't control it.

Still can't digest the absurdity of what happened yesterday. I feel like the game is ruined. With one suicidal move they took the passion out of it, threw it away for nothing. Disgusting, I will probably never see the club in the same way ever again. As for Abramovich, he's nothing more than a piece of paper, tell me now that he is replaced with someone with the same amount and he can f**k off and take his board of groupies along with him.

He's your typical yes man puppet, a disease in the corporate system that needs to be removed. Unqualified leech who's embarrassing the club with every day he's coming to work. But honestly, all I have now is apathy, the worst has already happened.

Which again is complete bullsh*t because they're not doing it even close to his instructions, or at best half-assing sh*t with no real desire or passion besides a few players. That interview was embarrassing to watch and they couldn't find a bigger clown delivering that pathetic message.

Also saying that the same group of players won the league last season, while ignoring the fact that they only did it under Mourinho. Then basically saying that we're in a position we're in because the players aren't following instructions from him like they did last season when we dominated. So who is the problem here? The one with the proven winning formula or the spineless, unprofessional cowards who are disgracing the shirt? Emenalo is a useless leech that's embarrassing the club with every day he is in the position he's in. Get this f**king disease out of the system as fast as possible, although now it's too late. We already lost. This day has been disastrous for the club, from the announcement to this pathetic interview, permanent damage.

Don't believe a word this useless leech is saying, a yes man puppet who would tell his boss that the sun is blue if he wanted to hear that. A person with absolutely no qualification to do his job is a major part of this club, don't need to know more to realize why this board is a complete joke and the sad state of it.

This is a fantastic article. Sad thing about this, it's true. Chelsea FC just ripped apart its soul, the sheer stupidity, the pure insanity of this decision is unforgivable. Roman and his board deflated its entire fanbase. I will never support any decision they make again knowing that they're capable of such a disastrous scenario. Remember this day because we will talk about it for many years, they just ruined everything with no way back.

True, keep her and this bullsh*t out. She should never work here again. Not like it matters now with the sad state the club and people making the decisions here are in.

Can't describe it better. A lifetime of support just feels empty right now, the love for the game just feel pointless. We lost something that we're probably never getting back. This type of connection, the special bond is never happening again. Owner, board, staff, players, simply unforgivable.

The second worst decision in club history after 2007. This time is second worst for me because we currently have a group of mostly spineless cowards with very few leaders and winners and in 2007 we had the club's greatest ever squad. In some aspects, that's a reason why this time is worse because this group were only league competitive under the best manager in the world and don't have the mental strength to work through it. It's a terrible feel of emptiness, we lost a huge piece of identity and passion, I look at the working process at the joke of a board, soulless, Roman, soulless, most of the players, soulless. Emptiness. I have no doubt that anyone who had a part in this absurd decision will live to regret it. But on second thought? Who are these people? Board puppets? They don't care. Players? As they proved in the last few months, most of them don't even have pride in their profession, let alone this football club. The one who cares? Yeah, he will continue to do what he does best.

I like Guus, but I can't support any decision. Most of the current group of players don't deserve to play another football match for Chelsea, if they start winning now? Even more than when they were putting on pathetic performances. This disgusting attitude should only emphasize how brutal this mistake was. Now the damage is irreplaceable.

I think that's in the past, they just let the biggest winner of them all go, why? Because we have a bunch of choking losers on the pitch. Anything can happen now.

No. Jose has managed to turn a squad who couldn't even compete for years, to the most dominant PL champions in history while making a profit in two seasons. We basically have TWO proven winners on the pitch. The rest are mentally weak personalities or players who are content with a decent season and don't have that ruthless mentality to do it again and again. You know who has that? The greatest manager we have ever had. The one who wins the PL every other season, the most successful manager of his generation. This Chelsea FC board are no indication for anything, as we learned, Roman basically surrounds himself with puppets who are there to agree with everything. That's why we have mediocre businessmen and average ex footballers in top positions We had an elite professional with Chelsea in his heart, who really cared. We gave that away for nothing. Absolutely nothing. We're still stuck with the same spineless group and we lost the identity and passion. Now there's no way back, live to regret Roman, and trust me, he will regret, hopefully there's someone with enough personality to remind him who that manager on the away bench is.

I hope the Bridge gives him the ovation he deserves on Saturday, chant his name for 90 minutes. Let him know that he's got full support and admiration for everything he did for this club. Let some of the cowards on the pitch know that they don't deserve to represent this club. Let Roman and his board of puppets know that they just repeated the biggest mistake in club history. Something for Roman Abramovich, please, don't give us that look of disappointment and frustration and then go to the dressing room and pretend to be angry at the players the next time a Jose Mourinho team beats us like you did in 2010. The price you pay for stupidity and impulsiveness, you live to experience your mistakes again and again. If Jose stays in England? I hope you're there every time he comes back, hopefully with Emenalo alongside you, telling you everything you want hear while we're falling to mediocrity.

Thank you Roman for proving you're still a clueless, impulsive owner that would never sustain stability in any level. Done for me at this point, he's nothing more than a dollar sign now, him and his pathetic board. A complete disgrace of a decision, we lost our greatest ever, this time? Forever. And no, no mentally strong unit to carry us through it. We lost Mourinho because of a bunch of spineless cowards who couldn't cope with any sort of pressure. You know what happens now right? We're going to go through mediocrity with occasional greatness while Jose Mourinho continues to win at the highest level. Even better, you know what happens if he stays in the PL? He comes back and beats us, again and again and win titles. Remember this is a manager with 50% success at winning PL titles, what we have is a group who never won without him. Thank you Jose, for every time you were happy like us, for every time you were sad like us, for every time you cared like us, unlike them. The best.

Jose had to sell big just to buy. Nothing he got was additional quality, almost everything was a direct replacement. Madness? In today's market, what Mourinho got since he came back is extremely underwhelming. Last year we won the title making a PROFIT. Besides that, it's clear that we have problems with the board hierarchy on who makes professional decisions, too many clueless people like Emenalo and Granovskaia getting involved in that aspect of the game instead of giving the best manager in the world full control which results in "high cost duds" that the manager doesn't trust. Give Mourinho full control, the actual financial support he deserves and we will be back to the top by next season.

6 PL seasons, 3 PL titles, 3 PL manager of the year awards - Mourinho. Some players in January, some high quality starters in the summer and we start again next year with him leading the club back to the top. No doubt about it. Top 4 looks like a dream now but with a run of games, who knows. We still have the CL and as we know anything can happen, especially as the players look like the real version of this team in that competition. Jose is not going anywhere.

I'm not giving up on top 4 yet, it's basically 10 points with one side that's 100% not going to be there. The mid table quality is probably stronger than ever, top teams aren't going to get the long winning runs anymore. We might even see a champion with 80 points. I admit that it would be hard to take watching the CL with Chelsea not competing there, money, prestige etc aside, you watch football for some of the moments that competition can bring. But, it's only November, we're not that far and our opponents are nothing special, plenty of time and points along with a transfer window. Let's see if Mourinho needs to give away key players to get new ones, replace squad members with lesser quality and default choices or he actually gets full support from the club. Maybe an irresistible bid for one of Reus or Aubameyang? Leave the more important CM position for the summer but there are still plenty of options that can help up in the league and CL.

I would like to see Ruud get 2-3 straight red cards for offences that just went unpunished in front of his eyes of an opposition player, confront the referee about his bullsh*t and then go on his TV interview, apologize and say he was wrong, yeah right. The chairs of the BBC and Sky studios must be extremely comfortable for people to forget, and that's not talking about clueless morons like a Redknapp, more of the Souness/Gullit type who have been there in most situations. There's no comparison between Mourinho and RDM btw, yes both get support from the crowd but one is the world's best, the other was sadly not good enough yet to manage a club of this status as much as I like the guy.

When was that? History shows a different picture. We were building an unbalanced side that was never going to compete at the highest level. We won the CL, but not because of any members of the so called "great team" that we were building. We won it because we got one more world class performance from the core of the original team. The trio of Mata, Oscar and Hazard playing together carelessly was never going to win the league, that season we completely collapsed the moment Lampard was injured. If I'm not mistaken, at the same time Terry was suspended/injured and just a few months after seeing this team fight as a mentally invincible unit, we saw a team that lost its identity, culminating in that horrendous Juve game. It was a terrible period to watch, not even mentioning the FSW.....Until Jose came back and restored some key elements that led us to dominating the league last season. KDB and Lukaku were available to managers years before Mourinho and they chose not to use them.

We completely dominated and should have scored at least two, the attacking players besides Willian are all in probably the worst form of their careers. The short passes in front of 9 defenders are pointless every time when no one makes a proper run behind them. Arnautovic is a coward useless piece of sh*t fits perfectly in this nothing club. Referee did a fantastic job as usual, disgraceful, inept moron just like he should be in Chelsea matches. If you needed any more evidence to what a bunch of 'f**king weak' walking corruption they are. We're playing better, one day very soon we're going to kill a game in the first half and get some confidence from there.

One of the most pathetic performances I've seen from him. You can be in terrible form like Costa and Hazard, or just try to attack the same impossible space over and over again aimlessly to the same results but to play with this attitude...I don't care if it was his last game in a Chelsea shirt, never was a Chelsea player, never will be.

Any suggestion of selling any first team player for financial reasons is completely stupid unless we can get an equal quality alternative with that money and even then you're ruining chemistry for nothing. We signed the second biggest sponsorship deal in history, TV and prize money is bigger than ever and we didn't spend any significant amount in years with the most obvious example being this summer. The next two windows should be the time Jose finally gets a proper support from the club with ambition to win everything every season.

Great support from the crowd, a real statement, let the world know that we have the best there is and he's not going anywhere, let the manager know that he will always have the loyalty and appreciation in this place.

Fantastic player, the type that can inspire his teammates with his attitude. His ceiling is even higher than that so I hope we see more progress in some aspects of his game, he has everything in this form but what impresses me the most is how he responds to competition, the moment a player threatens his place, he just plays them out of the team.
