Mr Mourinho seems to be digging a very deep hole, & things are worsening by the week.

They now sit 15th in the Premier League, having suffered 5 defeats in 10 games. Prior to this season, they had rarely lost at home for several seasons.

The Lady Doctor controversy is far from over. He was out of order there, undoubtedly, & has not handled it well. More pain awaits, including a messy constructive dismissal situation.

A week ago, he incurred a £50,000 Fine & a (suspended) Stadium ban after some referee nonsense.

Yesterday, he was sent to the stands after an altercation with the referee. So was his long-term assistant.

He refused to speak to the Media after the game, so another fine awaits.

Chelsea face a fine for having 7 players yellow carded yesterday.

Media gossip emerged in the week of dressing room unrest, which stretches back to a 4-2 defeat in as pre-season friendly, after which Mr M accused his players of losing to a "mickey mouse team". 

During the week, he got involved in some argy bargy in the street, after he allegedly "shoved" a teenage girl in the street, & his legal team are said to be on the case.

So, the question is, can he survive?

He's a great headline maker, charismatic, & he'd be a loss to the Premier League, & I'm sure even The Camel would be sad to see the back of him.

I don't think he is charismatic anymore.  Since he came back to the Prem he's been an arse.  He's is good entertainment though.

agree with this apart from the last bit. I don't even find him entertaining anymore. Just boring and classless

I hate to agree with talksport, but he is acting like someone who wants to be sacked and take his payoff.

He can then  find another club for a  (probably successful) 2 year project before the wheels come off again.

Trouble is, his teams play pretty much the same way and get found out after a few years. He is incapable of adjusting so just blames the players/press/fans/authorities/ (delete as appropriate)

Something tells me his obsession with Arsene is partly due to wanting him sacked so he can take over and lead them to a title.

If Jose ever becomes Arsenal's manager I'll defect to the spuds and give up golf.

Ain't EVER gonna happen. Arsenal are way too posh.

Have to say, the Premier League table looks good this morning. Think Arsenal have scored most points, & conceded the least goals, of all EPL teams in the calendar year.

I heard newspaper goss that Pep would like to move to London & start work soon. Now that might work, either at Chelsea or Arsenal.   

Pretty much agree with this.

something is not right behind the scenes.


cant remember who said it recently (a major manager, iirc), but the view was that mourinho works his players very hard. they mostly played in the world cup, had a full season without too much rotation last year. mourinho then gave a few major players pre-season off and apparently they weren't ready when stuck straight into the starting line up this season. others have played solidly for over two years.

Talking of Managers under pressure, this chap, adorned with way too much scarf, must be looking over his shoulder at the moment.

He should never have abandoned his lucky gilet.

Maybe the FA don't want to embarrass themselves further over Carneiro?

Second thoughts, surely there is no way they could embarrass themselves any further?

What a mess.

Nit sure who comes out of this the worst - Mourinho, Chelsea, or the FA.

A bad mistake was made, a quick apology at the very start probably solves everything.

What's gone wrong at Chelsea (and how to fix it)

http://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com/2015/10/16/9549555/whats-gone-wrong-and-how-to-fix-it

sacked today

It's patently obvious to me that Jose has wanted to be sacked since day one this season but the question is why. He's courted controversy at every opportunity and has seemingly set his teams up to lose - stopping only to troll his old mate Arsene with the obligatory Chelsea win over Arsenal.

Conjecture of course, but I think he must have fallen out with Roman again in the Summer - perhaps over signings - and threatened to run the club into the ground. Roman feed him the line about spite making him see out his contract and Jose is pushing him to the limit. Seems the only possible explanation for such a precipitous fall from grace.

I wonder how much selling Cech to Arsenal against his wishes might have affected his relationship with Roman; might it even have been the catalyst?

YBA

He obviously wanted the United job when Fergie retired.

To be honest I have no idea why he didn't get it, how could they give it to Moyes before him?

Because he's a classless git?

+1.

Thought he was a breath of fresh air when he first came to the PL, but that has all changed in recent years. Really can't stand the guy, and it's very pleasing seeing Chelsea struggling. Long may it continue.

Perfect successor then.

Jose is a classic case of a person who shat on all and sundry on the way up providing endless amounts of schadenfreud on his way down.

"Adversity introduces a man to himself" (anon).

Fergie hand picked Moyes, didn't he? Fergie disliked Mourinho so wouldn't have him as the manager.

Why do you think Fergie disliked Mourinho?

I thought they were quite close, with reports that they'd often share a decent bottle of wine after matches.

Sky sports interview with Smoker Tim last night:
Reporter...... You may be getting a phone call from the Hierarchy tonight or in the morning, How will you deal with it?
Sherwood..... My phone will be switched off.

I'm certain they were close friends.

And I read somewhere Jose was incredibly hurt and upset when Fergie annoited Moyes.

yeah exactly why I asked.

They'd always talked highly of one another

.....and he takes his team tomorrow night to the Britannia for a Capital  One Cup tie against the mighty potters.

Can he hold it together on a cold Tuesday night in Stoke?......that IS the question.

Mourinho charged with misconduct over his behaviour during the West Ham game.

Not picking Jose was a huge mistake imo.

His appeal for his previous misconduct affair has not been heard yet, & now he's in line for another.

He is said to have verbally abused the referee on Saturday with an upgraded Wenger jibs - "you are fucking soft" & refused to leave the Referee's room when ordered to.

Precedent suggests a 5 or 6 game touchline ban at the very least. 

The clouds are gathering over Jose-ville.

I genuinely hope he survives all this, it adds a little spice to the back pages. He needs to pull his neck in though, show just a bit of that humility stuff.

He just seems like a complete tosser to me. No time for him at all.

There speaks a Newcastle fan, famous for tolerance. ;)

I had it in my head from somewhere that Fergie & Mourinho weren't that close. Perhaps United shied away from Mourinho because of his disciplinary record. Hadn't he recently been cited for a scuffle back then?

"Jose Mourinho has tried every trick in his book to turn Chelsea around, now he must adapt or die

Beleagured Chelsea manager must try a different approach and cut out the negativity if he is to avoid a predictable fate at Stamford Bridge"

an interesting read

Ferguson said in the recent program he did on BBC that there was no hope of convincing Mourinho to go to Man U instead of back to Chelsea.

Definitely they are friends, pretty close it would seem.

Story I heard was that Bobby Charlton was vehemently opposed to Mourinho going anywhere near OT because of all the baggage that goes with him.

I don't have much time for the Premier League to be honest.....I'm fed up with just about all of it from gate prices to overpaid footballers (including the football league) but I like the fact that the game has it's characters, and I love Mourinho and all that he brings.

The league only has Wenger and Mourinho that I can instantly think of for something different.

Fergie has gone, even Pearson has gone, and he was definitely worth tuning in for.

But I have to say, that some of the stuff Mourinho is coming out with is laughable.

I'm starting to think that maybe Jose's right and there is a campaign.

Stoke were awarded five penalties last night.

For true football fans....

Once upon a time on a cold, wet and windy Tuesday night in Stoke.....

Ten men went to mow, went to mow a meadow. Ten men and their dog, spot (penalty), went to mow a meadow.

My feelings exactly.

Refs never give Chelsea penalties huh Jose?

You got 5 against Stoke and still lost

another home loss

is this it? should it be the end?

No team has conceded more goals in the Premier League this season than Chelsea (22)

what an amazing stat that is. completely unthinkable 3 months ago

Bournemouth are on 22 conceded - I reckon they'll ship a couple tomorrow, but delighted to hear this about Chelski. A horrible owner, d!ck of a manager and a  couple of scumbag players with Costa (on the pitch) and Terry (off the pitch).

I hope Mourinho stays, every loss heaps more humiliation on him and usually leads to another FA charge    rotflmfao

Great article in the racing post today by their stats guru about the relationship between teams points and their wage bill. The two are totally correlated. He said Jose has never over achieved with any club relative to their wage bill, he might be Chelsea's most successful manager but the reasin why he has been successful is the chairmans bank balance not because he is a super human manager.  He hasn't under achieved either. He has just done as a manager what he should be done with the resources he has been given.

He also used the same argument to explain why sherwood shouldn't be sacked because villas points totals over the last fifteen years have totally mirrored their wage bill as well at the other end of the scale.  Their wage bill has never been lower relative to the league and that is the reason why they have been in the mire the last two years.

It would be nice to see gaffers like pulis who do out perform their Wage bill at clubs to get a chance at manage at the real top level.  Football is so short term and results orientated it will never happen.

Amazes me that people think he's a bad manager. There's an awful lot of dross in the premier league; people who are on no one else's hit list in Europe.

If you were Mr Abramovich and money were no object, would you:

a) Offer Jose the chance to clear out his ageing, petulant squad and build a new empire; or

b) Sack him and bring in someone else who has all the same problems to deal with?

Absolute no brainer for me.

If he goes in the next few weeks, he can name his price at a dozen Champions League clubs, while Chelsea are linked with AVB and Hiddink.

I dont disagree he should be kept but isnt he laying the blame on matic/fabregas who arent aging players and who were huge last season but hes wrecking their confidence instead of backing them (yes they have been poor but they need managed and the players in their place wont allow chelsea to dominate the way the above did).

Is he a great manager when things go wrong? His behaviour doesnt suggest so. Hes great when dominating but when things go wrong he tends to make it worse.

Id back him in public and tell him to stfu in private.

There is noone else.

Definitely that.

Guy can't help himself, just has to whinge like a broken record.

Good job he doesn't play PLO.

b)

It's a good job Jose hasn't got the keys..

http://metro.co.uk/2015/10/30/turkish-president-forced-to-intervene-as-trabzonspors-boss-takes-referees-hostage-5471724/

I was talking to a mate of mine whose 8 year old young lad plays and he does a bit of reffing. He says the parents are constantly verbally abusing the referee. For 8 year olds!
I told him he'd want to get out of reffing before the young lad hits 12, as it'll only get worse as the games become 'important'.
It's just ridiculous what refs are putting up with today. And this stuff comes from the top down. If Jose Mourinho can openly criticize refs, then why can't 8 year old Johnnys dad?
And eventually something very serious is going to happen. Someone will be killed or seriously injured.
What about when Mourinho lied and made a world class referee retire due to safety concerns?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anders_Frisk
The man is an utter disgrace. He is bad for football, at all levels.
I take great pleasure in his current predicament.


Football really needs to take a leaf out of rugbys book when it comes to respect for refs.
The more pressure you're putting them under, the worse decisions they are going to make. That's obvious.
Trabzonspors need the book thrown at them. Points deduction, massive fine, whatever. Hurt them in such a way that they never, ever think of doing something like that again.
Mourinho should be getting a 12 match touch line ban for his series of offences. Do it again? 20 matches. What's that? You don't like that? Here's a points deduction. Anything else to say? You do? Here's a ban from from European competition.

Actually now that I think of it and yes, I am quite drunk :), refs should wear googles with cameras in them so that when people say, "oh my God, how did the ref not give that?", they can see that he didn't bloody see it cos he doesn't see 12 different camera angles in slow motion like we armchair fans do.
One advantage of that would be that the guys that judge referees performances that sit in the stands would be able to better analyse and give instruction on where referees should be in certain circumstances. "Your line of sight wasn't good there, you should have been 5 yards to the right. You need to work on that."
Gary Monk was complaining on Match of the Day that Swansea should have had a penalty for a handball for a Sigursson free kick.
Camera slow motion shows it should have been a penalty. Bloody referees! But wait, even Sigursson didn't appeal for it and he took the bloody thing so he didn't see it. But all the same, bloody referees, they are just useless and should all be sacked.
