  1. That forum is full of plastic trolls. Konakai, Kiwi, RIP etc would be stars over there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Be careful with words like that, because jokers like kiwi and konokai blue will tell you that when judging Jose, you must look at his last 3 months at the club ONLY. But at the same time, you also need to forget that we topped the CL group under him during those 3 months.
  3. @ kiwi1691 First you defend Emenalo with saying that nobody on here knows what's actually going on behind the scenes and that we are only blaming him for that interview (which is false). But at the same time you claim to know Falcao was a Mourinho signing, and that Mourinho only wanted to strengthen the squad with Stones and Pogba. Pato is a same type of signing as Falcao, so is he also a Mourinho signing? So what is it, do you work for Chelsea? You also only blame Mourinho 100% for the season's failure like he's playing on the pitch, but let's talk about facts and no speculation. - It was already clear that our squad needed strengthening back in January, do you remember the 5-2 thrashing at the Lane on Jan 1 ? Yet we did nothing in January to strengthen, and in the summer we only lost quality instead of gaining quality to push further in the CL and try to defend the title. Is it Jose's mistake that the club lack ambition to improve further? - We lost massive experience and leadership in Cech, Drogba and Luis and only improved with a panic buy in Pedro, a player that comes that late always need time to adapt to a new league. The same goes for Baba. Was it Abramovic who let Cech go to Arsenal to strengthen a direct rival or was it Jose's decision? - Pat Nevin, a person that actually has a connection with the club, claimed that Jose wanted to strengthen the squad and had 6 targets on mind but got none of his targets. We know 3 of them: Marquinhos, Stones and Pogba. 3 are unnamed. Is it also Jose's mistake that he got 0 of his 6 targets ? - The players came back overweight, Diego admitted this himself and we also saw the pictures on Dailymail. Cesc, Hazard (as always), Ivanovic, Diego Costa were clearly not in shape while being paid millions a year. Is this also the fault of Mourinho? - Our best defender in JT is simply aging. Is it also Jose's mistake that JT is aging and that he got Djilobodji to succeed our captain? - The club planned a post season tour for commercial reasons knowing that the season starts 1 week earlier than normal, that makes 2 weeks lesser training and getting fit for the players. Is this is also Jose's mistake? This season's start was a collective failure from the club, manager and players, not only 100% Jose's fault.
  4. I don't have the same feeling for the current group of players, especially after this season. Some examples: Hazard - comes back overweight, already with his head at Madrid or even PSG. Costa - comes back overweight, throws bib at the manager while he was the latest player to be benched. Oscar - saved himself for the worldcup. He never cares when it matters. Many of the players are just mentally weak or simply don't care, no matter who your manager is, how can Chelsea be 16th? You should be fighting for the fans and club. The only players I have a connection with are Willian, Azpi, JT, Cahill and Zouma. Pedro and Cesc still have a Barca/gunners taste on them. The current of crop of players just don't feel like real Chelsea players, a little bit like ManCity. We will find out who asks for a transfer coming summer if we don't have CL football next season.
  5. Dude you talk so much nonsense, please go back to your beloved TalkChelsea forum and stay there with other trolls.
  6. skip to 20:30 and listen to what Jose said about transfers and new players. He said the team needed new fresh blood, to give the current players competition, to put them under pressure. He didn't want the current stars to be complacent because what they did last year (champions), nobody should be an automatic starter. And later in another interview he said: “We have to improve. If we have the same team the other teams will be better than us,” Mourinho said on BT Sport. “If I keep Eden Hazard, Nemanja Matic, Branislav Ivanovic, Diego Costa and Cesc Fabregas - for us that’s the first target. “I think we need three (new) players. A striker because we lost our legend (Didier Drogba), a defender and a midfield player. “(It will) give a little bit more competitiveness to the squad, bring some new blood in, put some players a little bit under pressure. “They know they have someone waiting, I need that to support my way of working. “Now they’re the champions I need that but basically the same squad, the same team, the same manager and stability in the club.” http://www.london24.com/sport/football/clubs/chelsea/jose_mourinho_reveals_chelsea_summer_transfer_plans_and_fires_warning_to_arsenal_manchester_city_and_manchester_united_1_4105454 So was Jose backed at all? The answer is clearly no, we don't even have to argue about it. 33 reports of loaned players, the departure of Cech, Hector and Djilbodji summed up the ambitions and the backing the club gave to Jose. But is it an excuse for sitting at 16th? Also no, but you must also look at these players. They played without pride, without the intention to fight for the club. No matter who the manager is, what tactics we use, how bad the atmosphere is, there is absolutely no excuse for the players to perform this bad. Have you ever seen Lampard, DD, Essien, Ballack, Maka, Cole, Ricky etc. sitting at 16th? No.
  7. Cesc ill (has not traveled) Hazard, Remy, Falcao not fully fit Diego suspended
  8. It doesn't sound stupid, actually the complete opposite and I fully agree with you. With the current bunch of players, I only have that connection with JT, Ivanovic, Ramires, Cahill(obv), Azpilicueta, Willian and the feelings are growing for young Zouma. And Ramires + Cahill are not even starters. Azpi - a warrior and already feels like a future captain and legend. Willian - what a player, liked him from the beginning, he always give you at least a 7 no matter who we play, when we play and how the others play. Zouma - short time here but gives you a feeling he always tries hard and wants to fight. We are really lucky to have witnessed Cech, Terry, Ashley Cole, Joe Cole, Lampard, Drogba, Gudjohnsen, Essien, Ballack etc at the same and for so long.
  9. everything is OK now.
  10. Chelsea target Diego Simeone would demand control of transfer policy to take charge at Stamford Bridge Exclusive: Atletico Madrid manager feels final say on purchases is non-negotiable condition of becoming long-term successor to Jose Mourinho A source close to Simeone told The Telegraph that he is extremely happy at Atlético and will only consider quitting Spain for Chelsea if all of his conditions are met. The final say over all incoming transfers would be a “non-negotiable”.Emenalo plays a big role in Chelsea’s transfer business and Mourinho even admitted he had nothing to do with the summer signing of central defender Papy Djilobodji. Abramovich essentially backed Emenalo over Mourinho by not signing any of the big-name outfield stars the Portuguese wanted in the summer, other than Radamel Falcao on loan, and then holding the 52-year-old to account for the abysmal Premier League title defence. With no permanent manager at Chelsea, Emenalo will take sole charge of the club’s January transfer window plans and chase targets such as Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy and Shakhtar Donetsk attacking midfielder Alex Teixeira.But Simeone would not stand for any Emenalo signings in the mould of Djilobodji or Michael Hector, who was immediately loaned back to Championship club Reading. Simeone works closely with Atlético sporting director José Luis Caminero but retains the final say and right of veto over any incoming signings and the 45-year-old would not be prepared to give that up. That would put Abramovich in the tricky position of either having to choose between Emenalo and Simeone, or attempting to negotiate some sort of compromise that suits both parties http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/chelsea/12065449/Chelsea-target-Diego-Simeone-would-demand-control-of-transfer-policy-to-take-charge-at-Stamford-Bridge.html Who ever comes in will demand to have the last word on the transfers like Klopp did with Liverpool, if Roman can't give him that, don't expect you can hire a world class manager like Pep or Simeone. Imagine Simeone demands a Godin or Thiago Silva and Emenalo give them Djilbodji 2.0, Simeone and his assistant will kick his ass.
  11. Jose is just 52 years old, he has a long career in front of him, he can/will even improve after this bad spell.The thing with him is, he should realize he is no super man. He's had no rest since taking over Madrid and then Chelsea for 5,5 years. And these jobs are the worlds most stressful jobs as the expectations are sky high and you can be sacked any day, even as a Chelsea legend. He should rest now like what he did after he left us in 2007. Take some time for his ill father and family. Recover and re-analyze the things he could've done differently and improve. After that rest period in 2007-2008 he came back better than before and won the treble with Inter The danger with highly successful people is the pressure they put on themselves after failure, he could be desperate to prove he's still the best and that could work against him. So if he takes a job right now, I am afraid he will continue the downward line because of a bad mindset. But if he rest properly and takes a job in the summer - we should prepare to see the best Jose ever. But Jose is Jose, maybe he doesn't need 6 months. Maybe a few weeks are already enough for him to clear his mind, to recover and to improve.
  12. Michael Emenalo pushes Chelsea to sack Mourinho, sets up Pellegrini as successor. http://www.foxsports.com/soccer/story/chelsea-line-up-manuel-pellegrini-as-mourinho-s-replacement-122015
  13. Mourinho is angry at a remark made by Michael Emenalo that there was “palpable discord” between Mourinho and the players. (Times) #CFC
  14. motm: the Chelsea fans
  15. painful to read that Roman ignored Jose's plead. He could've helped him in the summer, didn't do that. Could've helped him with the coming January window, didn't do that. Could've helped him with that pep-talk Jose wanted, but even didn't do that. All he did was giving him ''more time'' than other previous sacked managers, thanks for giving him 1 month extra in exchange for the 6 beautiful years he gave us.
  16. his agent said he doesn't need a sabbatical, but I think he should take it, looks like a sad man
  17. "José Mourinho is pleased that he returned to Chelsea football club because he was able to give the fans another Premier League title, which they had not won for many years. He is immensely proud of his eight trophies at Chelsea, and thanks the fans for all their support throughout his two spells at the club." "During his career, José has sometimes chosen to leave a club, but only at Chelsea has the club decided that he should leave." "Each time represents for him the end of a cycle, and the opportunity to start a new one. José hopes that his future after Chelsea this time will be as successful as when he left the club in 2007. "He will not be taking a sabbatical, he isn't tired, he doesn't need it, he is very positive, and is already looking forward." "Because of his love of football, you will see José at football grounds working and supporting friends. He will not be attending any high-profile games because he wants to discourage any speculation about his future. "José will remain living in London and hopes he and his family will be given the opportunity to do this privately." "José will not speak about his current situation for the foreseeable future. He asks the media to respect this decision." http://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com/2015/12/19/10625822/mourinho-statement-chelsea-sacking-manchester-united-rumors Only thanked the fans.
  18. This is a complete different situation. Lamps was already at the end of his career, he could've easily avoided that City spell and ending up as a "clean" Chelsea legend. Cech was already a different situation, he was forced out but still in the prime of his career. But Jose is 52, he has like 20 years left in his managerial career. He was sacked in 2007, but came back because he loves this club, and now after winning the title + league cup and committing his future to Chelsea, he got sacked AGAIN. I lost the count how many times he said things like:" I want to stay forever" or "I stay as long as the owner and board wants me to". His family and him love England, so If he wants to stay in England, Chelsea is not an option anymore. What do you expect him to do? Reject offers from big clubs and coach in the championship? We just wasted the chance to create a dynasty with a fully committed world class manager who loves us. You can't blame him to go for his professional career when he already gave us a second chance.
  19. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2zZS3U2zHBk&feature=youtu.be Great video
  20. Would be a bad moment to take any job, he needs a break to recover from this.
  21. Not at Chelsea no, but I think his next EPL club will be Man United if City gets Pep.
  22. Thanks Jose, forever one of us!
  23. 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. http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2015/12/club-statement.html?extcmp=SOCIA_TW_ENG_NEWS_STATEMENT
  24. Hiddink to replace him according to Sam Wallace from Telegraph
  25. sad day for us, I am speechless, he will always be a CFC legend:
