People keep saying there isn't a manager out there that would be an improvement, this moment in time there is 14 in the Premiership alone with 5 managers already bested him.

 

brenda rogers to me personally is worse than the FSW, given his comment about Chelsea when asked when at Swansea, would he like to manage Chelsea replied " I am just starting my career in Management, do not want to wreck it".

 

If jose goes tomorrow/ whenever would like to see Alan Pardew given a chance as interim, with the resources that Chelsea could place behind him, & what he has achieved at other clubs with lesser back up could surprise

quite a few, why do we have to have a top name when people crying out for youngsters to be giving a

chance to make first team why not a young manager with no baggage..

 

can't imagine it will ever happen but Pardew is an interesting shout. no experience of Europe of course, apart from 2 weeks in the med each summer

Pardew for us can be almost the same as Moyes was for manu

Personally I think Roger Schmidt would be great, huge fan of his football philosophy

 

When you have a problem with everyone and everyone has a problem with you. You are the problem.

I'm just happy that FSW already has a job so he can't take over.

 

If this HAS to happen, I'd really want Carlo back. If Jose gets the boot soon then it wouldn't surprise me if we get Guus back in temporarily or even Capello.

Capello would be horrible.

There isn't a manager out there that would be an improvement, I'd liken getting rid of Jose to having a misfire on your Ferrari trying a set of plugs but still having a misfire so opting to let someone else have it and getting yourself a replica sat on an MR2 thinking it'll be better.

Lol. Genius analogy

Talk about Guus Hiddink in the media again. He would do a great job again i'm sure.

Capello would be horrible.

 

One of the best club managers of all time, don't let his poor international management career cloud your judgement, he would be a great short term appointment.

He's not managed a club in over 8 years.

It's not clouding my judgement at all, I didn't think his last club job was all that great either. He struggled at the start playing woeful football with Madrid and got knocked out the CL...they did win the title on the final day but Madrid were awful to watch that season from what I can remember.

He wouldn't be a good choice IMO.

Gus Hiddink or Carlo Ancelotti is good for me.

And if Di Matteo can still win the Champions League as interim manager, lets take him as soon as possible because we can't get to top 4 by may.

Roberto Di Matteo did not need a tons of experience of managing a team in Europe.

nothing like learning on the job.

We will never know as we seem frighten to try something unimaginable.

Like stick with a manager

That squad could win major trophies without a manager, so good was it.

This squad struggles under one of the best managers alive.

This team is no where near the level of the team that still won things after Mourinho's first spell..... and imagine how much more they would of won had one of our top class managers been given time any other club would have given, perhaps Real Madrid aside.

14 managers in the BPL did better than the manager who won the double? Amazing, could you show me the link?

Or are you selectively using a managers worst 3 months in their career to ignore the fact they have been one of the most successful managers in the world over the last decade and in fact, pretty much since they started managing?

Funny how a man who has brought a league title more than once every other season is given less patience than some players who average a league title with us once every 5 years or so.....

People need to remember only reason Grant and Di Matteo got a chance at Chelsea was because they were already at the club and in for a short term when the team was doing bad. There's no way we'd appoint someone long term who has little to no European experience as a long term potential choice. If Jose is sacked before the seasons out then I fully expect we'd move for someone like Hiddink or (gulp) Capello as an interim choice. If we want a long term successor I imagine we would move for Ancelotti.

Cant imagine carlo would come back, or even be asked to come back as a long term successor. Acrimonious ending and coupled with mourinho's second stint seeming to be ending badly I think the club would be reluctant to "go back" again.

We should be looking at conte, lopetegui or emery for longer term replacements.

I'm not so sure but who knows eh?

Bobby do you seriously think any manager would look at the last 15 or so years and the criteria for staying in the job and imagine he was taking on a long term project?

 

Everyone was looking for stability and when we got Jose back we all feared he didn't want a long term Job, he still says he does even with the ungrateful attitudes and media hysteria about every problem but fans are turning on him a couple of months into a season that up to now has been poor.

 

Any Manager looking at the Job if succeeding Mourinho will be coming in eyes wide open knowing the best they can hope for is a payout like he'll get if Roman really is that stupid.

It's going to cost upwards of 60 million pounds to pay out Mourinho's contract. Things will have to get far worse before the club seriously consider paying out that kind of money (plus recruiting costs and the new manager's wages) to replace him.

Much cheaper just to back Mourinho (with new signings) to turn things around in January.

 

Do you honestly believe that a billionaire businessman like Roman Abramovich would allow a payout of that magnitude written into the contract? You must be stark raving mad if you do. I can guarantee that a payout will be nothing like £60m. He's spent money in getting rid of other managers and he will have had it written into the new contract a settlement package for JM if he leaves the club.

Probably not but that doesn't mean we won't hire someone with that in mind. I think Jose this time out was hired because they wanted him to be a long term option.

There's nothing but speculation to say anything's changed but if it has the next man in can only possibly be in it for the short term payout, I'm pretty sure the sitting down and working out the contract part would be difficult, Roman knowing he's likely to repeat his usual actions and the new man knowing exactly the same thing...that contract will either have a big payout clause to attract some of the better managers closer to the top where Mourinho is or a small pay out clause that will see a less fashionable face in the dugout and the people giving up on the Mourinho very soon complaining about the new man.

 

I'm hoping all the speculation in the press and here is nothing more than that and Roman is oblivious to it all sitting back in the knowledge that he expected a few ups and downs but is happy to see it through with the man he gave a long term contract to.

I haven't read the news sicr we lost to west ham and there is no any except jose mourinho sacking and chelsea crises, i kinda regret it ...damn

I think anyone who wins the league and its classed as a bad season is a pretty good manager.
