For me he had to go. His arrogance knew no bounds and what was endearing to media and Chelski fans 6 or 7 years ago became tiresome and distastelful. The players obviously had had enough as the results have dictated. When you buy big players, pay big salaries, you get big problems. In the past Jose' had the players buying into his message but it was possibly easier with players like Lampard, Cech & to a lesser degree, Drogba. When you have the tempermental players of Fabregas & Costa in your squad it's suddenly not so easy to pull the I am Jose', best manager ever crap.
Personally I hope he leaves the Premiership as I'm tired of Narcissistic Portuguese managers....

Couldn't resist putting cyber pen to blog paper on this one:
https://forensiconions.wordpress.com/2015/12/18/mourinho-sparks-game-of-top-table-musical-chairs/
First paragraph:
So, after submitting 16 resignation drafts, José Mourinho finally got Roman Abramovich to accept one.
You can just feel the panic ripple this must be spreading amongst Fleet Street’s Sports Editors, I would imagine their offices are reminiscent of the scene fromArthur where Liza Minnelli breaks the news to her father that multi millionaire Dudley Moore’s jilted her. Harry Redknapp’s been unemployable since most top flight football chairmen finally realised that Kevin Bond’s mastery of the training cone was not quite at the forefront of tactical innovation, Tim Sherwood was last seen disappearing up his own rectum and now christmas has been utterly ruined for English football journalists everywhere by the removal of the undisputed heavyweight champion of the soundbite. 22 weeks of LVG matter-of-factly explaining the meaning of existential football realism beckons….

Funny thing is manure fans want mourinho yet complain about van gaal's boring tactics.Have they not seen how his teams play.He is no more the Utd way whatever that is than van gaal is.If i was him i would take 6 months off and then take Portugal to the world cup and then come back club management.Given the resources he had at Chelsea,inter and Real i give him very little credit for what he achieved.Most competent managers could have won.He started to believe the hype and it all became about him.I don't think he liked Hazard from the start as he wasn't his signing so any success he had wouldn't come back on Mourinho .Its a shame because now they will probably be stronger.

I never thought it was a good idea him going back.
There's a reason you broke up with your girlfriend and that will still be there if you get back together.
Losing Lampard and Drogba didn't help as I'm sure they would have dominated the dressing room for him.

To be fair they had Bosingwa doing the tactics back then and they haven't anymore

Like it BC. Always a good read. I have to be honest not sure what the draw of PSG is other than the obvious financial ones.
The league in France is so one sided. They are 17 points ahead of their nearest rivals after 18 games. They have a plus 36 goal difference so the league is a given. If it is as you say more about Europe I don't think they will ever win the champions league, however it does feed Mourinho and his ego.
For me it's got to be United in the summer.
The one thing I would say is that if he does leave England, the premiership will be poorer for it. One of the world's best managers even if he is a dick at times is still a massive draw and still entertaining.

It is an interesting question. I think Mourinho to PSG is a great shout.
Chelsea have tried many different types of managers and given none of them time to really implement a long-term style. Mourinho the first time was the closest they came to doing this and this was their most successful period.
Hiddink is another short-term option which for the rest of the season is probably the best they can do.
I genuinely think Chelsea could start to slip to being contenders for top 4 rather than title contenders in future seasons.
The way Abramovich runs the club means they can't form any identity, other than being a bunch of twats.

I see the obvious appeal of PSG for Jose
The relative weakness of their league with the financial power they offer for him to bring in star players means he could have a real crack at winning the CL with them
He could win the league while making the CL their main focus and not have the fatigue factors that come with a grueling domestic campaign effecting the CL challenge
Being such a self promoting man I'm sure he'd love nothing more than to be a manager who has won the CL with 3 different clubs

Interesting post.
I think the difference between now and ten years ago is that Chelsea no longer have a monopoly on finances. City can top anyone, Arsenal, ManU, Liverpool, Spurs of course and many others have wealthy owners, big revenues and can bring in decent players if not the top ten or so in the world. So I think Chelsea have peaked, sure they might stay in contention but Abramovich will get fed up I am sure

Surely the Leicester defeat wasn't the final nail in the coffin for him. What shame is there in loosing to Leicester this season?

I'm not convinced Hiddink is the man to turn things around for them. Let's hope he isn't.

People have to understand that it is not all about well known managers. The make mistakes all the time. They are changing clubs all the time for a reason. It is all about the players you as a manager gel together. Most managers do not have a good sense for what the best team is, and do not have a clue about how to build a team. Scouting and talent development is where the focus should be. Not a big name manager.

I feel its more of a media whirlwind of wishful thinking wanting Maureen to stay in the PL rather than clubs wanting him.
Personally I think Maureen going to Man U would be fantastic as I think it would be a total disaster and set them back even more.
As Spursking said its not all about just getting a big name.
That said these days its a catch 22 because these multi millionaire big time Charlie players won't even turn up for you unless they see you as a big name. Even then unless you have more man management skill than a dead fox you'll lose the dressing room regardless of how good a manager you may be.
All of these big hitters are always successful, for the most part, because of the huge amounts they spend on top notch players more than the coach being a footballing genius.
Inter, RM, Barca, City, Chelski, PSG, Bayern, etc, etc, they all win silverware on a regular basis regardless of who's at the helm and that position at the helm is changed regularly. Can it really be they're all fantastic at bringing in the right man everytime? Why is a position available then? Or is because when you spend £250m on players every season frankly a fkin chimp could make a good go of it.
Which is why it's becoming a bit of a roundabout. They all change clubs so often that they've run out of real big spenders to go to so unless Maureen wants a real challenge to show the world just how special he is at a club that doesn't have unlimited resources (like Man U lol) then he'll probably end up going abroad.
I wouldn't want him. No way.
I think he's viewed as toxic at the moment.
Maybe the kicking his ego has just taken will change him for the better but I doubt it.
