You are a very shortsighted individual and all you have said today has proven that.

What has Leicester won?

Home work for you. Submit tomorrow.

lalaboi:
You see, this is the part i dont like about arguing with you and Dayo. You conveniently mention i said they won 8 straight games from the get go for a record.

I also mentioned they won the league in record time in April. .

I also mentioned that they won it with 25points from the closest rival.

Lets just say pep was announced by end of January. . . As at that time, they were 12points ahead. you mean to tell me that they were not considered favorites to win the league and cup.? They never thought to themselves that they were in good form to maybe get a treble. A team in such a good form is to be written off as 'potential' winners of a treble?

go to bed A40.

Woo, God will too bless you Airmark, you have said it all, this is all I've been trying to pass across since wey make Bigkesh and Nihilist insult me taya....oma se o, iya ma je mi gan o

airmark:

You no well ooo. Untop wetin? Though i was n't following you guys' posts. Later in the afternoon i would read up. For now what i am concerned about is who will rescue our sinking ship, it seems hiddink is undecided on taking the job. The challenge is huge for any coach contacted.

Chelseafan1:
Lol...actually, I think it depends on these players, we are not close to them, we ain't 100% sure whether they are happy with the sacking or not, Fab and Terry have both paid tributes to him, I read that when the news of his sacking broke out at Cobham, Hazard had his hand on his mouth expressing shock, Terry and Costa apparently left Cobham sad.

If this is actually true, wahala dey be that, we are playing Sunderland tomorrow, that match na must-watch.

airmark:
Fab and terry i can tell, hazard and costa should shut up. A coach like hiddink may be solution to their nonsense attitudes and performances. I remember when hiddink came we were surprised seeing a dead player like malouda pulling stunts up and down and doing well. I just hope he brings the magic wand this second time if appointed.

Pep Guardiola is a fraud. Bayern would be mad to give him a third season. That's two years in a row that his team get their rear ends handed to them in the semifinal, 3-10 on aggregate, are you kidding me?

Who cares if he won the Bundesliga? It's kinda hard not to win the Bundesliga, to be honest, when you manage Bayern. Every single guy who has managed the club in the past 19 years has won the title, except for Jurgen Klinsmann. This is a league where the second-place club is freaking Wolfsburg, a team with Bas Dost and Nicklas Bendtner sharing time up front.

It's a one-team league, especially now that Borussia Dortmund have imploded, and the only team is the one Pep is lucky enough to coach.

And guess what? It's getting worse. Bayern won the Treble before Pep's arrival. In his first season, they got the Double. This year it's just that measly German championship. Next season? Logical progression suggests it will be a big fat zero if they stick with Pep and his nonsense.

High line? Pressing? Weirdo formations with a jockey-sized fullback like Rafinha at center-half? Come on now. How about working on some defending so two otherwise fine centre-backs like Jerome Boateng and Mehdi Benatia aren't made to look like statues frozen in time?

Don't be fooled by this guy. Sure, Pep won some domestic and European silverware at Barcelona, but that was because he inherited a great team. After all, Frank Rijkaard won plenty at Barca as well, with some of the same players. What happened to him? His last gig was managing Saudi Arabia, who sacked him in 2013.

Ultimately, Pep is exposed because, simply put, he can beat up bad teams but struggles against good ones. Want proof? Witness his record against the teams currently in second to sixth place right now in the Bundesliga: Wolfsburg, Borussia Monchengladbach, Bayer Leverkusen, Augsburg and Schalke. Played 10, won 3, drew 3, lost 4, scored 10, conceded 12. A losing record.

Enough of the hype. Enough of the outdated tiki-taka. This emperor has no clothes.

That's fine. Defeat has consequences and they range from criticism to a boot to the backside.

Except once the air clears, you need to take a step back and ask yourself on what basis you should judge a manager.

The cliché that "results are everything" is downright foolish. Results, particularly in a low-scoring game such as football, are a function of many things, including chance and probability. This is especially true in knockout competitions.

Chelseafan1:
I prefer Di Matteo though, he's cool headed and respects those players, I think he can bring out the best in them.

Chelseafan1:
Wherever he likes, he can go, that's the least of my worries as a Chelsea fan, he is a god? no.

bigkesh:
First of all,I don't insult CFC fans even if its the Fan1 in stupidity...... But you are crossing a line ......

Mata,Schrulle,Luiz and Cech.....all justified sales
Mata for 39, Schrulle isn't even on Spurs level,can't make Wolfsburg XI,Luiz for 50m?? Go reject am na,Cech? Good decision for me,even though Cech is currently better....

U are shouting about KDB,Mata and co,if he had Sold Courtois who is far better than the sold names,this same moniker would still wail about it.....

When did Mourinho take Credit for the league? Stop yarning dust,you saying loads of rubbish at the same time,Your phone no dey crash?
Give me 2 interviews to suggest he did such


Mourinho supported every player from October till last week,Everyone of them....Tell me one that he blamed,15 players came out to take responsibility for our poor season and excuse the boss yet jimmy jimmy thinks Mourinho criticized them

Maybe you think the players are mentally weak people like you for a beef that has nothing to do with them affect them in the long run....
So your Teacher's beef affects or stop you from passing?
We trashed Arsenal 6-0 weeks after the specialist in failure remark, y didn't it affect?
Ferguson had a beef with Benitez for over 6 years why didn't it affect?

I don't know why hazard will stop scoring because Mourinho has a beef with someone in the opposing team....Mumu
If you say Eva's whatever affected them? No p....But Wenger and Referees??
Just stick to supporting barca,we have enough problems to deal with than adding 2 faced plastic jerk with multiple holes for Hazard's dick.....



Finally.....I don't work for my Boss, M trained to save lives same way footballers are paid to win....
Winning should be their aim,the same way saving lives is mine.....
If a boss takes Glory,he can't take it all...The fans aren't blind same way my patients aren't....
Jose name is not on the list for the highest assist last seaon
Jose wasn't named the 6th best in Europe
Jose didn't collect Hazard or Fabregas' medal
Jose didn't steal their wages

To top it all,he stayed loyal to them because of last season heroics...That's a payback
Or you think Hazard's performance will make Watford XI? Talkless of Chelsea.....
He made all Chelsea players at the dinner rise on their feet before naming hazard our player of the year

He was the one who said EPL XI should be all CFC,he didn't say all Jose
He was the one who said he would win the UCL with 11 Azpi,not 11 Jose.....

He never for once took the glory....So next time you wanna analyze soccer,Jog from Oau gate to the library 3x and let blood flow through your brain ,maybe then you can finally make sense

As caretaker abi full time manager ?

Chei! I haff die oh!

Cc: Raumdeuter und Alinco-40 Food don done oh!

A40:
So why were you so vehemently against him going to City and adamant on seeing what he can do with Arsenal, Tottenham and even your club Chelsea

Chelseafan1:
That yeye Guardiola will never come, he only goes to top club where life is easy, Man city will become too strong for all EPL teams, I wish he can just come to Chelsea, wanna see what he's gonna do with this team.

Pataki:
Are you OK at all?

Eruditor:
Ok @ bigkesh. I Keep conflating the names.

Yes he Inherited the best team at the time that he did. Best team because of their achievements the season before. Did virtually almost the same thing with Jupp except win the UCL.

Chelseafan1:
vehemently ke?? how does my initial post about him suggests this? in case you missed it, here is it, help yourself.

A40:
You are only buttressing my point with this post. On one hand you are openly wishing he comes to Chelsea but you are pissed because you think he would rather choose City instead.

Chelseafan1:
Ogbeni...if u do not understand me, do not quote me again, u are obviously here to compare both managers which is not what I'm on about, why did Guardiola chose Barca and Bayern, why didn't he chose Dortmund or Atletico or Bayer Leverkusen, now that he wants to come to England, why is he going to Citee, let him choose a team like Spurs or even Arsenal and turn them to a consistent title winning team.

Barca has always been one of the best 2 in Spain.

Bayern has always been the best in Germany, no other Buli team comes close.

Man city is like the best in England right now with a very good spending power.

Raineri, who could go to a championship team Leicester without so much spending power and could manage to stay top of the table for over 5 months should be hailed and respected than both Mou and Pep put together.

Chelseafan1:
Everyone of you shouting player power should let it rest already abeg.

Mourinho is his own worst enemy, he's too arrogant, proud and stubborn.

Was it players power that made him fight with the Doctor??

Was it players power that made him insult Wenger and tagged the man, specialist in failure.??

At his press conferences, they will ask him, what is your name, he'll be answering with, Wenger cannot win the league.

Was it players power that got him fined several times and suffered plenty bans??

Must he keep fighting everyone where he goes to? like he's the only Coach in the league?

In life, you succeed not by creating enemies for yourself, no employer would make it treating his staff and subordinates like thrash all the time, it doesn't work that way, you need to keep them happy so they can work with you.

As a manager, you are responsible for your player's and staff's happiness, you are a failure if you can't keep them happy, isn't that why you are entrusted with the job in the first place??

raumdeuter:
And he asked you why Mourinho didnt choose Guimares in Portugal, Swansea in EPL, Torina in Italy and Deportivo in Spain

raumdeuter:
So you get sense like this

Oya 3 bottles of alomo for you

Jose Mourinho joined his Chelsea players for their annual Christmas lunch at the club's Cobham training ground just hours before he was sacked, but there was little festive spirit to go around.

Rather than pulling crackers and telling bad jokes over their Christmas turkey, the Chelsea players sensed something was up from Mourinho's sombre mood after he had taken a downbeat Thursday training session in which he sported a newly shaved head and stubble.

But it was not until just before 2pm when a Chelsea player, who had stayed behind later than many of his team-mates, spotted members of the club's hierarchy and rumours started circulating that Mourinho's time as manager was up.

At the same time players were exchanging text messages speculating on what might be going on, Mourinho was informed of his sacking by chairman Bruce Buck and director Eugene Tenenbaum in a meeting that lasted only 10 minutes.

Virtually all of the players had left Cobham by then and they did not receive any official announcement from the club before word spread between team-mates and staff members via telephone, text message and over WhatsApp. Some former Chelsea players got wind of Mourinho's dismissal before the current squad.

Mourinho stayed at Cobham to clear his office desk for around two hours after getting the news before being driven off the premises in his Jaguar, presumably never to return. His second coming was over in the most dramatic circumstances.

The Leicester City defeat proved to be the tipping point and Telegraph Sport can reveal Mourinho accused his players of betrayal three times around that game.

Mourinho shocked reporters by claiming his players had "betrayed" his work after the 2-1 loss, but the attack did not come as a surprise to the squad. The Portuguese also warned his team against "betrayal" in the tactical meeting ahead of the Leicester game and used the word again during the half-time team talk at the King Power Stadium.

He had become obsessed with the fact an old Porto contact told him that his former club knew of his plans to drop Cesc Fabregas before last week's vital Champions League match at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea won the game, but Mourinho was convinced he had at least one player in his squad working against him and it was not the first time this season the 52-year-old felt information was being leaked, whether on purpose or by accident.

A few months earlier, Mourinho had spoken to players of the need to be careful about what they told their agents and fixers after numerous stories had appeared alleging he had fallen out with various members of his squad.

Mourinho believed pieces of training ground gossip were being twisted against him and was also worried that players were innocently talking to outsiders about selection issues that were then getting out.

It was in October, when the former Real Madrid manager hit out at the "rats" around the Blues camp as he refused to give out any team news ahead of the Southampton defeat. He also became more guarded over how he set his team up during training, so that players were not so sure over who would be starting games.

In truth, however, Mourinho's problems started a long time before October when a total of 10 players decided they wanted to leave Chelsea immediately after the club had won the Premier League title so convincingly.

On the outside Chelsea looked destined to enjoy years of success under Mourinho, but there were sources around the club predicting a meltdown.

While it was no great surprise that fringe players such as Petr Cech, Didier Drogba, Filipe Luis, Juan Cuadrado, Mohamed Salah, Victor Moses and Nathan Ake wanted to play first-team football elsewhere, it was concerning that Diego Costa, Willian and Oscar fancied moves away.

Chelsea did not let Costa, Willian or Oscar go, but Mourinho felt he needed to secure some major summer signings to be confident of making a successful title defence. The fact only Radamel Falcao and deputy goalkeeper Asmir Begovic arrived before the first day of the Premier League season was a source of great frustration and contributed to his dark mood from the off.

Mourinho was also concerned by what he had seen on Chelsea's post-season and pre-season tours, despite the fact he had given his squad an extra week off during the summer as reward for their title success.

Teenage midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek was not the only Chelsea player to miss the team bus or turn up late for a meeting during the end-of-season trip to Thailand and Australia.

Relaxed attitudes were evident in America during pre-season, when Mourinho was so disgusted at a training game in which one of his group of players fell three goals behind that he called off the practice match entirely. It was also evident that Costa had not reported in an acceptable physical state after a summer of excess.

Some members of the Chelsea squad complained of still suffering the effects of jet-lag from the tour of America by the time they lost the Community Shield to Arsenal and there was a feeling of chaos inside the dressing-room ahead of the first Premier League game of the season against Swansea City.

Players had been left confused by Mourinho's decision to start with what was considered a reserve team in the final pre-season game against Fiorentina, only to throw all of the big guns on before the hour. Captain John Terry had been among the starters and feared he would be left out of the Swansea opener.

All the frustration and anger of poor pre-season performances and failed summer transfer bids for Everton defender John Stones manifested itself in Mourinho lashing out at club doctor Eva Carneiro for running on to the pitch to treat Eden Hazard against Swansea.

Carneiro was subsequently relieved of her first-team duties and privileges by Mourinho in a move that sparked a seemingly never-ending wave of criticism and negative publicity, and eventually led to the doctor's departure from Stamford Bridge that is still not settled.

It is too easy to point at the fall-out over Carneiro as the beginning of the end for Mourinho, but there is no doubt that his actions shocked Chelsea players and members of the board.

Fears over his behaviour grew as, having effectively got rid of Carneiro, Mourinho turned his attention towards the officials and the Football Association as he lashed out over bad results and questionable decisions.

Mourinho was hit with a £50,000 fine and a suspended stadium ban for claiming referees were "afraid" to give Chelsea decisions after the defeat to Southampton. He later branded the decision a "disgrace."

Worse was to follow, however, as Mourinho was hit with a one-game stadium suspension for his extraordinary reaction to Nemanja Matic's red card in the defeat to West Ham United. He twice refused to leave referee Jon Moss's dressing-room at Upton Park and accused the official of being "f***ing weak" during the half-time interval before being sent to the stands.

Serving his ban, Mourinho watched the defeat to Stoke City at the beginning of November from the Crewe Hall Hotel, where the team had stayed the previous night.

That proved to be a small moment of enlightenment, as Mourinho accepted appeals from Chelsea staff to stop the attacks on officials and the FA, and keep the focus on his team and the need to improve performances.

But Mourinho could simply not inspire any consistent form out of his players, despite trying both the carrot and the stick approach with Hazard and Diego Costa.

Having dropped and criticised Hazard earlier in the season, Mourinho held a heart-to-heart with the Belgian the day after the West Ham defeat and agreed to play him in his favoured number 10 role.

Hazard's performances improved, but he has now gone 27 games without a goal and Mourinho very much left it to interpretation whether or not the forward had been sufficiently injured to substitute himself against Leicester.

Costa had escaped punishment for returning for pre-season training overweight and had been the one player to avoid the axe up until the trip to Tottenham Hotspur. His reaction was to toss a bib in the direction of his manager and retreat to the team bus minutes after the final whistle.

He won his place back in the team after having a one-on-one chat with Mourinho, but Costa was still a shadow of his former self in front of goal against Porto and Leicester, and has netted just seven times since January.

Costa's drought has coincided with former Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku passing the 50 goals mark for Everton. With Chelsea desperately needing goals and looking for a striker in January, Lukaku's form has caused frustration that he was not given more of a chance by Mourinho.

The feeling inside Stamford Bridge was that Moruinho could have done more to encourage Lukaku and Kevin De Bruyne, who is currently outperforming Belgium team-mate Hazard, that they could eventually become first-team regulars at Chelsea.

Similarly, Mourinho showed little patience with Cuadrado and Salah, who have impressed in Italy, and, contrary to his promises, never made a convincing attempt to properly integrate 19-year-old Loftus-Cheek into his team.

Loftus-Cheek only has 18 months to run on his contract and Chelsea chiefs had been concerned that Mourinho's treatment of the highly-rated midfielder threatened to make negotiations over a new deal particularly difficult.

Ultimately, though, it was quite simply results that did for Mourinho. When owner Roman Abramovich backed him in the form of a club statement that also made it clear there must be an improvement, Chelsea were in 16th place in the table. Two months on and the Blues are in exactly the same position, just one point above the relegation zone.

Mourinho is understood to have confided in friends that nothing he tried was working and that was clearly a view shared by Abramovich and the Chelsea board. Christmas dinner probably never tasted quite so sour.

This is an insult to my personality, I hope you know that

besides I don't take alomo, buy me Maltina

The school where I currently serve in the north, my boss is far too kind, my fellow corpers and I always do all we can to make him happy and give our best to the students, other schools where the bosses choose to act silly to their corpers, na dem dey suffer am.

In Mou's case, if his players aren't happy, who go suffer am?? the worst that can happen to the players is for them to get sold off to other clubs

lalaboi:
Na you smoke the Igbo.

That season, they broke records by being the first team in bundesliga to win the first 8matches of the season. Did they win their first 8 games the previous season? They won the league in record time as at that time in April. A team high in form and confidence, Are you saying they could not have won the the double at least or Treble for that matter after beasting the whole of Germany?

lalaboi:
Jose cannot win the league without spending they said. Just that everyone saying this decided to turn a blind eye to the fact that we sold wisely to be able to spend that much and that in fact the buying did not affect the club in any way.

Net spend of first season in his second coming
- £49M (13/14)

Net Spend of Second season(which he won the league.
- £5M (14/15)
Total=£54m


Within the same time frame. Lets compare to net spend of others

Manutd Net spend
£67m (13/14)

£104m(14/15) .
Total= £171m
The same person who spent this went on to net another £40M this season and fans dont even like what hes doing.


Arsenal
£33m (13/14)

£65m (14/15)
Total = £98m
This team totaled more than Chelsea and didn't win the league. heck they struggles for 4th at first and then came 3rd the next season.

Man City

£90M (13/14)
£60M (15/16)
To win the league once during his time


Too much hate!
Its no secret he had loads of enemies within and outside. . That is the Jose way.
Like someone said earlier, he is the best coach Chelsea ever had and its just bullocks the way peeps here try to downplay his achievement.
Abeg make una go siddon

Mr, you quoted the wrong person cos I wasn't the one who stated that Bayern were the best 2 seasons b4 Pep came, Bayern is the league's all time best team....I didn't limit it to just 2 years abeg.

Nihilist:
It sounds like this Diego Costa is just an absolute dickhead sha....

Signing him and selling Lukaku continues to look more and more like one of the biggest managerial mistakes of the last 10 years...
