Holy Cow!! Who would have ever thought that would happen...I watched Sky Sports News this evening, granted only with half attention as I was studying at the same time, but I am sure that I would have heard this. I guess maybe he hadn't done it yet. I wonder where he will go and who will replace him. Any educated guesses from the smarter football brains out there?

Word on the web is Gus Hiddink..... and Jose to go to Spurs....not sure if even he can make your mediocre team play decent footy though Spurfan.

Nothing mediocre about us, that is the frustrating part about it. We are better than we are playing. I am not sure what the problem is. I would like to see Levy give BMJ more of a chance to get this season going. We know he can do it, give him the chance without worrying about his job.

Avram Grant takes over at Chelsea! (huh?!)

https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/footbal ... 004083.stm

but Guus Hiddink, Jurgen Klinsman, Frank Rijkaard, Didier Deschamps, Sevilla's Juande Ramos and Fabio Capello are all been touted as the long term solution.

Martin Jol is no doubt the best trainer Spuds have had in years, but Levy has no patience and has interferred far too much already.

I don't see Mourinho going to White Hart Lane though, and Levy will stick with Jol ntil he finds a replacement, which could take quite some time.

My compliments...

I guess we will see how much of Chelsea's success was Mourinho andhow much of it was the 90 billion pounds he had to play with.

yeah, I'm guessing he got called on his arrogance, and the boss pointed out that he was just an employee too... even if it's not true, I'd like to think it was

I hope old Chelsky fall apart now

I think Mourinho was not credited with enough - I hated his guts but I think he was the reason why Chelsea won the League twice in a row. And there is no way he will be going to Spurs

seems like abramovich has installed a yesboy to run the team. Maybe it'll be abramovich who picks the side now and his mate who figures out tactics, sorta like barcelona or more likely hearts ...
