It's official. I'm surprised, even with their current form.

Hopefully he never comes back to England.
I'd have given him another season myself. If anybody has earned that it's him.
The Metro have Ranieri as a candidate. Seems extremely unlikely to me. Still, fuck off.
I think it had to happen really, although who they replace him with is as much a mystery.

Absolute morons. Just sack the single biggest asset the club has. Wankers.
Long period in the wilderness coming up.
Claudio's revenge though
Perfect for United, now they can sack Van Gaal and get Mourinho in.
Terrible decision.
Hark at the BBC beating Sky to this.
Have to say I found the geezer a complete shambles from the moment he came back for this second stint. Properly unhinged.
United will never touch him. City might if Project Pep fails, which hopefully it will for the lulz.
He should go to Leicester and win them the league.
Rodgers Rodgers Rodgers Rodgers Rodgers Rodgers Rodgers Rodgers Rodgers Rodgers.
They should just appoint a caretaker / Terry player-manager for a bit.
Why did this have to happen before Watford played them!?
I wasn't being serious.
I'm fully behind this. What this squad really needs is to be a group.
Get him to united immediately.
Get Eva back.
According to Sam Wallace of the Telegraph it'll be Hiddink on another half a season job.
I did think that was the best (least worst) option of the names touted but didn't expect it would actually happen.
Hiddink? How old and fat must he be by now?
The worst part about Chelsea sacking managers is that it prompts a load of tedious gimps to come up and talk to me about football.
Hasn't Hiddink recently stunk it up in any jobs he's had since his last Chelsea stint?
If anyone is due a return though....
Test.
Can't believe they didn't consider that, Jim
Surely the Koreans talking is a good thing?
However,

Makes sense that they're getting in there nice and quick so that Utd/City/whoever can't get to Guardiola first. I'm trying to be optimistic, but we'll end up with some complete chancer, won't we.
Guardiola at Chelsea would be great. Also a big test for him, as this will be the first team he'll manage without having clearly the best team in the league.
If not Guardiola, then Conte.
Thank fuck, boring cunt. Hopefully they have a series of shite appointments like the other scummers.
At least we won't appoint Steve Evans.
They must have someone good lined up to replace him.
Toggle Spoiler
Guardiola's not coming to Chelsea. I bet Abramovich daydreams about it though. Ten seconds of the magic man's magic dust/syringe and Matic will have a first touch like Casanova.
He better fucking come.
Otherwise it's going to be a Diego Simeone or someone. Which I know would go down like a sack of steaming shit with you.
Diego Simeone can get back on his caravan and fuck off.
My Chelsea managers:
Hoddle: seemed good at the time, then started listening to Eileen Dover or whatever her name was and turned into an idiot.
Gullit: seemed good at the time with his dreads and his sexy football, later turned out to be a terrible coach and person who even now goes to Richard Keys's parties. Daft little suit, silly bloke, fuck off.
Vialli: bald, cool dude but then spent the next fifteen years drinking coffee, so clearly a waste of time.
Ranieri: the best man in football, which isn't hard, but still.
Mourinho I: hard as nails, boring football, success we'd never dreamed of.
Grant: the sort of bloke Mossad would have sent to assassinate your hamster.
Scolari: started off with this big dominant enforcer reputation, by the end it was like him and Ray Wilkins were a pair of ageing gay bears.
Hiddink: turned around our fortunes that season but there was something not quite right about it, like his wages were being paid with the blood of Russian orphans.
Ancelotti: The 2009-10 season was our greatest ever side and I'll always remember him for that.
Villas Boas: younger than half the players and spent most of his six months acting out a flaccid penis on the touchline. Total idiot.
Di Matteo: should serve as the guiding light for the club because he had absolutely no idea where he was or what he was doing, and yet won us the Champions League.
Benitez: just a complete pus-ridden vapid cunt of a man who is on a mission to ruin your enjoyment of football. Hint: Liverpool fans think he's great. Just think about that.
Mourinho II: Had gone slightly mental in the interim but won us the title again ffs.
There's roughly a good-shit-good-shit sequence there. Time for a shit.
If Hiddink comes back to guide them through to the giddy heights of midtable come the end of the season, who can you realistically see then coming in? There's not exactly a hoard of star names available for Abramovich to woo.
Wouldn't be surprised to see Vilas Boas going back. He seems to have sorted himself out a bit in Russia.
Moyes.
Takes something special to be sacked twice.
Pep would prefer London really.
Jose to wait for the Portugal or England job
I would go for that. Give him a six year deal as well just to annoy Ryan Giggs.
Guardiola and Crystal Palace would be quite a good fit. Right colour scheme, in London (sort of), skilful players and the club's name sounds like a codename for a banned substance.
Graham Hunter sez 'Pep' prefers United, and doesn't he basically live in his arse? I know he's a football tragic, so what would be the attraction of City over them (other than 'LvG' taking people hostage if they tried to bin him)?
LvG to Chelsea?
I'm a twit
Won the title last season mind but currently sitting in 6th, though he did cruise them through to the last 16.
Test.
What's Capello up to these days?
Conte or Simeone would be just right. Tough bastards to get the fight back, the kind that would make players love them and restore the "us against the world" feeling that they've lost.
Also great coaches.
But neither will happen, so hopefully they won't nick Hughton.
I agree, hopefully they don't nick Hughton.
Assume you know I was kidding.
Obviously.
This is a decent summary from Jonathan Wilson, albeit one that has clearly been rushed out for maximum exposure: http://www.si.com/planet-futbol/2015...-fired-chelsea
I'd have probably given him TIME, but then I'm increasingly of the opinion that football's absolutely pointless (who really cares what Chelsea or any team win), so meh.
He's good, but he gets away with writing extremely similar articles for multiple sites, so probably will have written much the same thing a couple days ago.
The really strange thing was the lack of summer transfers. I think Mourinho had spoken when he returned of building a dynasty or whatever, and must have thought about improving the squad every year. It's an unusually thin squad and there were clearly issues during the second half of the season, but he didn't bring many in (and Falcao doesn't count) and he let talented players go.
Kenny Jackett is available if we are chucking names into the ring.
