Lucky guy. Only recently signed a new four year contract. Worth about £40 million quid.

Not totally unexpected but still, I thought they might stick with him and let him rebuild for next season. A costly exercise for Chelski.

It's been more than a bad season, it's been catastrophic. If there had been improvement then fair enough but even with a first class squad they've been abysmal.

Think some of the players have to take some of the blame for him losing the job, clearly didn't want to make an effort for him.

While yes they do the question must be asked: "Why are they not?"

He clearly upset too many people and in football the manager is not as protected as he used to be.

Suspect his bust up with the Doctor led to all this, and he's never been able to get the squad back on side again.

Chances of Chelsea's form and performance changing massively over night, as they did after the players got rid of AVB? We shall see...

They should've sacked a few of the players while they were at it, their "performances" (if you can even call them that) this year have been nothing short of an utter disgrace, I can only assume he's lost the dressing room and once that happens there's no way back. I actually feel sorry for him, knowing how much work goes into match preparation at Chelsea under his management (various players are on record regarding this aspect of his management) and how easy it is to play in a Mourinho team (instructions for individual players are quite in depth it would seem but always presented in a clear manner as to have no miscommunication or excuses). I can only assume the players have stopped playing for him. I'm a Spurs fan so no loyalties towards him but feel he was indeed betrayed by some of his players.

:agree: It's no coincidence that it all started after this incident and it shows you even the best can lose a dressing room. From the outside it looked like he was acting like a twat so there must have been too many at the club who thought the same and lost belief and respect for him.

Still, he's still one of the best and a new slate at a new club will probably bring more success. Manchester United is definitely a shout.

This is probably on the money. Doesn't matter who you are, acting like a sulky, petty fool will always lose you respect of others. Also -and excuse the overt sexism here- nobody likes to see a very popular and beautiful woman humiliated in that way.

I can't help thinking John Terry's got a lot to do with all this. Mourinho sidelined him early in the season and he's a surly sod.

He seemed to panic at the start of the season when they had their first few poor results. All of those ridiculous press conferences and, most of all, the doctor incident seemed to cost him his players faith. I don't think he could ever come back from that.

I'm not sure him and Man Utd are a good fit.

They want another long term manager like Fergie to succeed Van Gaal, hence Ryan Giggs being where he is and Gary Neville being watched closely, Mourhino seems to build one good side then move on. He doesn't seem the type to be able, or have the desire to, dismantle and rebuild a team.

True, but I doubt Giggs or Neville will be ready for that gig in the short term, 2 or 3 years of Mourinho while they develop wouldn't be a bad shout, can't see them being willing to stick with LVG till the end of his contract unless performances / tactics improve...

He'd lost the respect of the players after a huge bust up after he fired the club physio. Behind closed doors there were huge issues and he had to go it was just a matter of time!

Maybe a case of waiting until things were bad enough outwardly for the fans to accept his sacking? Since I imagine it wouldn't have gone down well if they'd bulletted him soon after the physio bust up...

I agree that this all stems from the physio fiasco and he clearly lost the dressing room, so in that regard I'm not shocked at all that he's been sacked. I just find the whole sacking culture frustrating, because the man turned Chelsea took Chelsea from a good team into the elite. He deserved 1 awful season after all he's given that club IMO.

Reading the comments of one of the Chelsea scouts today it suggests Mourhino had lost more than just the players.

For a member of his own backroom team to come out and state it wasn't the players fault suggests a major rift. If he'd lost his own staff then there really was no way back for him. Given his actions at the start of the season he really only has himself to blame.

You are either ignoring or not hearing the stories about serious problems behind the scenes.

Besides which, who is to say Abramovich's strategy has not been successful? He's sacked loads of managers and won loads of trophies. In the silly money era, it seems to work.

It's fair to consider he's been dealing with his father being seriously ill since the summer, perhaps that explains his (even for him) irrational behaviour.

If so, you'd have to think Chelsea should have sent him off on compassionate leave than let things get to this point, but then it's probably a combination of issues.

Mourinho's relationship with his players had clearly broken down and they were not performing for him, overpaid prima donnas or not.

After he turned on his players, publicly, after the loss to Leicester City claiming "betrayal" there was no way back for Mourinho. That was the final straw in a long line of questionable actions and judgement on Mourinho's part.

I wonder what Arsene Wenger's thoughts are today when he recall's "The Special One's" description of him as a "specialist in failure"?

I have never had a problem with Mourinho, to me he's a wind-up merchant and always has been. Ferguson was just as much a wind-up merchant and I liked him even less, but obviously that's just a personal opinion. Can't think of many managers in the modern game capable of taking Porto to the CL final and actually winning it. That said, I've never liked Chelsea and never will. It'll interesting to see who they get in for the start of next season, assuming Hiddinck's just doing his caretaking gig till the end of the season.

Utter nonsense. Jose let himself down with his bully boy, arrogant antics and it's no wonder players lost respect for him.

You wouldn't get one of these "supporters", who don't deserve decent team, calling Costa a rat to his face. Well maybe they would if they were mob handed and on a train.
