Thanks for the insightful explanation.

You wrongly corrected someone else so your pout right and then act like that? Do yourself a favour and stop been so condescending

How do two opposing forces reconcile for a third time, Roman won't admit he was wrong three times, and frankly imho it will be horrendous a third time around, the club has moved on hopefullly...

Hmm, maybe if lots of players leave (who may or may not have had probs with Jose) then he could come back to rebuild us?

I believe he'll never come back no matter what though.

Sigh. You got this all wrong mate. Take a breather and see the difference between g3.7 and dkw's explanation.

What was the difference? I gave you an explanation, which as it turned you didn't even deserve.

Sigh indeed. Before another potentially interesting thread is going to derail with gossip and quibbling, how about getting back on topic?

No, as others have mentioned, I don't miss the the Mourinho phase 2, but I do feel melancholy thinking about Mourinho phase 1. But it's done, and I support Chelsea FC, not a person, whatever he has done for the club.

"I'd say 'title' only refers to the league. I'm

guessing from your name / comments that

you're not british which is probably why

there's confusion. over here I don't think

cups are referred to as titles usually."

"We haven't won 5 premier league titles. We

have won 5 titles."

Not the brightest bloke but surely there's a difference btw these two.

Well said V.

There wasn't one you were been condescending for no reason

Oh f**k off you tedious dipsh*t.

I agree with Shedpensioner. The old Jose I will miss for ever....... The dick he became never. He forgot that the post interviews were for us and the world, not about him and how everyone was against us. Guess what! when your the best everyone is!!!

He started treating everyone really badly starting as we know, with Eva. I was like that once. I became so arrogant I thought the world revolved around me and I treated people in a real bad way. I got my just reward because everyone just got sick of it. Looking back OMG... what a Dick I was. "if only" someone had strapped me down and given me a few shorts shocks to have woken me up! SOMEONE at the club could have done that I'm sure. I know Jose will look back on this and regret who he became for the rest of his life; He loved Chelsea. Take him to the tower for a week and bring him back :)

Anything you say mate.

Well, that's my attempt to get back on topic doomed.

Sorry Val but I think he needs telling, he's constantly condescending towards people and it's just rude

It will be interesting to see Jose's take on what went wrong, whether he accepts he made mistakes and if he has reasons behind it. I expect it will be a few years before we get to know, it may be personal or it might just be that he had never been in the situation where he lost control before and had no way if correcting it. I was one who was very wary of his return, but at the time was more than happy to see him return hoping beyond hope that all would go well and his legacy wouldn't be tainted.

Mate now don't falsely accuse me, you don't like me, that's fine by me. I recall when I joined, the amount of sticks you gave me, I didn't recall calling you condescending then. We don't agree on opinions ( mostly on Jose, which in the end you agreed with) doesn't mean you should state what it isn't about me.

Doesn't sound like Roman wanted to sack him at all, and the parting was amicable.

 

Hmm, maybe if lots of players leave (who may or may not have had probs with Jose) then he could come back to rebuild us?

I believe he'll never come back no matter what though.

Would they necessarily have to leave though? They sure got on last season and time heals all wounds.

I wouldn't go been condescending when someone corrects me, honestly no I don't really like you because you wind me up with the way you respond to people.

Well if those people are Dkw, Yourself, Youlots then I won't lose sleep because I can say with conviction that I never insulted any of you first. And I was being sarcastic with my response to dkw.

there is an old adage in life that says never ever go back...and time and time again its proved right....

Yeah, that was my worry.

Personally I don't think it will happen at least not so soon as there will be too many question marks about resigning Jose a third time, whether these questions are tactical, man management related or just public image as his resigning would no doubt turn us back into the media's go to villain. Yes he is still a great manager and I will hate seeing him elsewhere and wanted him to be the future at the club but I just don't think its possible.
Admittedly you have quite rightly pointed out there isn't many top tier managers that would be available as options, so I wouldn;t rule it out completely, but there is one (and in my eyes is top tier) manager I can think of who has done it here before and who is in charge now and probably deserves at least the option of signing on, Guus Hiddink. I certainly wouldn't mind seeing him signing a 2 or 3 year contract, even better if we are following along the lines of Man U and are preparing a Terry, Lampard or Drogba to take over long term. This is what I'd currently like to see and I hope it comes to fruition.   

but he came back, in his first season got us to challenge for the first time since ancelotti's second season and then he won it for the first time since ancelotti's first season. 

 

I think he proved that old adage wrong. he moved the squad on a lot and made them champions ultimately so even taking this season into account I don't view this spell as a failure.

Maybe in 10 years time as his last job, but definitely not the next couple of years. Everyone just forget about what happened in 2015 ? I can't see it happen, don't think Jose will swallow his pride to come back either.

deary me....you wade into this thread in an attempt to correct g4 when, first, no correction was required and, secondly, by doing so you only show your ignorance (there being no EPL in '55). Moreover, in so doing you not only derail the thread but when brought to account you don't admit you were wrong in the first place and, after which, you add more sterile posts and then remark on some sort of agenda against you. And, of course, you do it repeatedly & this is what makes you so tiresome - do you not realize any of this?
