not sure what to think, or how I feel about this. It seems totally mad that a manager who is the current league title holder is sacked halfway through the season. I'd be unhappy if I was. A Chelsea fan
On the plus side, I fucking hate him and Chelsea, so this is amusing, and a lovely way to deflate that monstrous, bullying egomaniac. On the other, if he'd stayed they might have got even worse.
But they might not. He's a great manager, so there's no saying how things might have improved. But it does seem as if they have real problems and issues within that squad, so perhaps a new manager can have a short-term psychological boost.
I can't see how they will get a better manager though, whatever their immediate plans are. It could be an attempt to secure Guardiola, but he's hard to read.
It would be funny if Rodgers went in, but Juande Ramos is also tipped.
Whatever, it does certainly add a lot of credence to all those who said Mourinho was a short-term manager, and his style, tactics, personality and motivational style has a certain shelf-life
