Ooh nice, apart from Manchester of course  

The most notable move I made for work was from the Amsterdam city centre to a no-hope suburb, and I didn't even have a choice

Sounds like he should of been head of a mega high end Fashion outlet..

 

Incredible 4D if not 5D chess from Mourinho. Joined Spuds to get Bale to join and in turn saving us from EL football!

I'm someone that has a lot of mixed feelings about Jose but I watched this whole thing, Jimmy Floyd to his right.

Yes, the showdown between the two would have been so intense to watch but sadly Conte looks like he hates to work in his own country... I never forgot when we won against Man United and Jose went to Conte and told him to stop with the celebration and then someone was called a clown and the other a senile...

Oh dear...

Busted flush. When others were developing the game, especially Guardiola was on the rise, he chose to be the antagonist. This and his ego which is bigger than his heart and spirit, have ruined him as a manager. He could live and manage for another 200 years and this cycle which, to be fair, has become a Mourinho trademark, would repeat over and over again. Usually it would occur after three seasons, now it is happening even earlier. Whereas managers such as Guardiola, Klopp, Tuchel etc. could manage for another 200 years and they would keep the pace with all the changes and would develop both this sport and as managers. Unfortunately for Mourinho he is stuck somewhere in between 2002 and 2010 and his big ego keeps him prisoner there, probably hoping football would revert back to when his guerrilla combat tactics were successful.

He is done as a manager and what is even funnier is that his next move will be in the punditry world where he will be payed millions to comment on Guardiola, Klopp and Tuchel, managers who are decades ahead of him in terms of tactics, yet he won't miss the chance to have a dig at them every time they draw or lose a game.

Perhaps in a few years someone like Tuchel won't be able to adapt his style either. In fact, in the match chat I've read a few complaints about it now.

Also, the couple of times I've watched Mourinho as a pundit, I felt he wasn't unreasonable, certainly no slagging off or polishing his own ego.

But it's safe to say: unless he totally re-invents himself, his glory days are over. When he leaves Roma, only truly desperate clubs will hire him if they can meet his (financial) demands.

He might become an international manager after Roma, you can see it now.

Manager of Ivory Coast with Drogba on the coaching staff. 

Guaranteed a QF placing for me.

Many won't share this opinion, but I do hope Jose re-invents himself and does well at Roma. I just couldn't stomach him doing well at United and Spurs so I'm glad he failed at those two clubs.

He's done a lot to cause angst among the fanbase in the last few years, but some of my greatest Chelsea memories were under his coaching leadership so I'll always have a soft spot for him.

Tomorrow is 6 years since the club sacked him for a second time.

Following on from his ‘My Chelsea’ comments the other week, more positive things to say about us. Are we allowed to like him again now?

Are the rumours of him coming back to Real Madrid true?

they'll probably go for Tuchel

Jose Mourinho has been sacked by Roma.

Wow !

I know they aren't having a good year ... and he's been very feisty recently ... but surprised nonetheless !

Probably time to look at international management and media work. He appears to be a busted flush in club football.

Indeed. But that won't stop some misguided CFC fans wanting him back for a third time!

I could see a queue forming of deluded Chelsea, Manchester United and Newcastle fans ... think Everton have ruled themselves out though LOL
