    He kind of shat on them publicly but I guess he thought the position was irreversible.

    It was the same whenever some of the "English players" at Liverpool were agitating for an "English manager" when Lord Benitez was here. Then they got Hodgson.

    Mourinho won three of the five titles Chelsea have won in their history. I think it's fair that fans feel a certain attachment to him over some mercenary like Cesc "Barca, mate" Fabregas.

    Fabregas IS clearly much more of a mercenary than Mourinho.

    Edit- sorry, no need for sarcasm.

    Chelsea have sacked Mourinho twice. As far as Chelsea fans are concerned, he hasn't been a "mercenary" with their club. And this discussion is very much in the context of the views of Chelsea fans.

    Neither are mercenaries.

    Anyway, it just seems like they've either accepted Mourinho's "betrayed" line without having any evidence to back it up, or they're just that much in love with him to accept he could have made mistakes.

    In the paper this morning it says that Mourinho asked for a centre back, a left back and a striker in the summer and the club refused to sign any of them. Meanwhile he also asked for Eva to be got rid of ages back, which was also denied, and Abramovich made the decision on selling Cech to Arsenal, against Mourinho's wishes. Meanwhile they were all over Baba Rahman and Papy Djilobodji like a cheap suit, before panic-buying Pedro after we lost a couple of games in August.

    What on earth are they doing?

    Didn't think he was the type of person to put up with that sort of shit.

    Why did he want rid of Eva ages ago?

    Probably because she was banging Hazard and disrupting the team?

    It is, as was touched upon above, yet another redrafting of work he's done before (parts of it polished from the article I already posted) but this is a good read from Jonathan WIlson: http://www.theguardian.com/football/...-jose-mourinho

    (And if you fancy a laugh at just how much he gets away with rehashing his own writing, have a look at this from April: http://www.theguardian.com/football/...-pep-guardiola)

    I was with him right up until the line about Milton preferring Satan to the denizens of God.

    The other Guardian story about United insisting that he winds his neck in is good. 'Corporate Jose'.

    That would be beyond amazing, although I've seen Pellegrini linked as well so you'd imagine they're just making it up at this stage.

    He should move between those two jobs every two years indefinitely.

    Half of me thinks that's ridiculous, half of me thinks it makes perfect sense.

    United must want Guardiola. If they wanted Mourinho they'd probably have sacked Van Gaal by now.

    I've been seeing a lot of talk about Guardiola here. Why would he leave Bayern? Isn't he donning it left and right over there?

    He has already announced he's leaving at the end of the season.

    Most reports have him taking the Man City job but apparently his personal preference is United. He should turn up at Real Madrid.

    I will laugh so hard if he goes back to Madrid (and also collect some much needed 'proved right' points).

    Apparently Carneiro settled minutes before she was due to give her testimony today. She previously rejected £1.2m. I wonder how much they gave her in the end.

    And isn't this basically an admission that Mourinho is a very bad man?

    She must have had some serious dirt if they didn't want her testifying.

    I doubt it. It sounded like her case was mostly BS so she was probably just going to slander a whole bunch of people in testimony, which was probably best avoided for all concerned.

    Especially considering he's now with a major rival. Or is it a cartel these days? Hard to know.

    He wasn't even meant to be at the court today, so put her down as another MINDGAMES victim.

    It's John Obi Mikel all over again, except this time United are doing the paying.
