Good bye Mourinho, Good bye Mourinho.

A lot has happened this week, but the biggie must certainly be the
‘sacking/quitting/departing by mutual consent’ of Mourinho. Has he suffered the same fate as some of the players he has brought into the club. Either that or has he told Roman where he can go shove one of his expensive oil rigs.

If Roman was not impressed by last season’s results, or Chelsea’s last two performances, it must be a warning to future Managers of the Club. Roman wanted Sheva because he was his son’s favorite player apparently, and who ultimately ended up bearing that cross? Jose’s replacement Avram was the Director of football, and was involved down on the touch line. I’m sure Jose didn’t take to this well. You don’t pay a man Six Million Pounds per annum, and after missing the bull’s eye on one season give him a lashing and undermine his authority. The team hasn’t played well this season yet, but every team goes through that. Chelsea have lost one of the greatest Managers out there and he will be hard to replace. Ladbrokes have dropped Chelsea to fourth favorites to win the FAPL which isn’t much of a shock to me.

Future players of the club - be warned, this regime is ruthless and if Mourinho was sacked, he has followed suit to a couple of players Chelsea have had. If you don’t perform, there’s no second chance, you are booted out the door with your tail between your legs.

Chelsea fans be very weary of the dark future ahead. This is the first sign that this is no more than a game to Roman. There can’t be ONE Chelsea fan out there that thinks that this hasty move could be a good thing for the club. If by any chance there may a delusional die had Chelsea fan out there currently reading this blog with pie in the sky dreams, you deserve the Muppet of the Month award. Any team, fan and owner would bend over backwards for Jose (Unless you support the great United)

I’m grateful now, and so should all United fans be. We may have sold the club, but we sold it to a man who means business and ultimately has the same vision as us, and that is winning. Fergie has had a couple of bad runs since Glazer took over but he wasn’t sent packing was he? Glazer’s sons sit on the board of United, but they don’t get involved down on the pitch do they?

I would like to wish Mourinho the best for the future. He would have given SAF a run for the title for many years to come. But now he will be welcome at Old Trafford when the time comes for the greatest Manager of all time to hang up his tracksuit.

Saying all that, how fortunate are we that this happened 5 days before Chelsea come to Old Trafford? We were comfortable 1-0 victors before all this, and now we are going to destroy a one eyed, three legged and demodulated Chelsea squad.

Score prediction, 3-0.
