Nope it was Chelsea that cost them the title.. The Palace result occurred as they decided to just improve their goal difference, since that was the only way they could win the title if City didn't slip up..
Mourinho sacked
- Thread starter SilentWitness
- Start date
That's not accurate, I reckon. If player power was an issue here then Jose should have acted and benched them. Yet he opted for playing always the same players no matter what. The players can't have acted that badly then, I guess.
Some reactions from 100 percent Chelsea
First off Chelsea have built up a dressing room culture where whenever the players have a problem and don't get their own way they throw their toys out of the pram, down tools and wait a few months knowing the manager will be sacked. This will happen to every manager they hire until they back one 100%, i thought that would have been Mourinho but i guess not.
Secondly this is Mouinho, one of the most successful managers in history who is still relatively young. We're not talking about some useless dickhead like Moyes that you could easily replace with any one of 50 coaches. Make no mistake Mourinho like the first time around will be almost impossible to replace. They would have been better off backing Jose and clearing out a load of the trouble makers and letting him rebuild the squad.
But to be honest i'm delighted they haven't because they will be much weaker without Mourinho in the long run, as no other top coach would stay potentially as long as he might have.
I accept that Mourinho has had it cushy but then so has van Gaal. Ajax, Barcelona, Man United, Bayern Munich etc. He has trophies from 3 countries (I think) but is that any kind of achievement when it's Ajax then Barca and Bayern. I don't include AZ because I refuse to acknowledge any achievement as anything other than ordinary given Steve McLaren also won that league a season later.
Irish news sites are saying Hiddink has quit his role with Australia, any other rumours like that?

He's in a London hotel holding talks with Chelsea as we speak according to the BBC.
Hiddink hasn't managed Australia since 2006. It was his former bosses congratulating him. Hiddink is a footballing deity in Australia.
Jamie Redknapp is about to appear on Sky. Watch him vent all his pent-up hatred of Mourinho in his small-time victory. Bet he even brings Klopp into it.
He is totally incapable of disguising his bias.
Post Edit:
Actually he was quite restrained from yesterday.

Yeesh, I'd totally forgotten about the Scolari era...
Ah I see..
Really? In between his two stints they won 1 PL title, 3 FA Cups, the UCL and the UEL. He was looking likely to win absolutely nothing this season so it would've been 1 PL title and 1 League Cup in 3 seasons - not much better than what they'd done without him, really.
Second one's hilarious: "I was at uni! I'm in a lecture for God's sake! I can't believe this! I can't believe this!"
Mindset is pure ISIS material.
Yep that's something that's easily missed by a lot if people. Chelsea's success post-Abramovic takeover isn't really that much better with Mourinho. 3 league titles, 1 FA cup and 2 league cups in 6 seasons with him I believe, which is a very good return. 1 league title, 1 Champions League, 3 FA cups and a Europa League without him in 6 (or maybe 7?) seasons post-Abramovic isn't too shabby either. Any fans saying Mourinho is the best thing to happen to the club are crazy. Abramovic is the only reason Chelsea aren't still blue Tottenham.
Jose's best work has been was at Porto and Inter.

This picture went round the world.Don't make us click on Telegraph articles...who was the man?
The man was a decoy.
Deflecting attention. Such genius.The man was a decoy.
I think most Chelsea fans would disagree with you.
Chelsea fans tomorrow. "angry, angry, angry, angry, angry, angry, angry, angry, angry, angry"
Was the supposed 'bust-up' at the Chelsea ground discussed on here anywhere?
fecking hilarious, the second one is pure gold
And rightfully so. He's won them three of their 4 PL titles and that's the bread and butter of any of the big sides.
Is it true that he refused the £40m severance package ?
feck that second video is legendary, same league as leave Britney alone
What bust up?
It was never going to be Wenger, he's never won a single league game against Mourinho. Even managed to lose one this season, when everyone's beating them.
Obviously there were/are big problems at Chelsea but I can't help but think that if Mourinho had just sussed out how good De Bruyne is on the counter as a 10 this all could have been avoided. In retrospect, they'd have been better off selling Fabregas, buying a real CM and throwing out something like this:
-----------Costa------
Hazard--DeBruyne-Pedro/Cuadrado
-----Matic------CM------------
wouldn't be Pep's Barca or anything but coupled with a deep line to suit Terry and Ivanovic and others and you're looking at a lot of wins on the counter.

Reading Chelsea's forums and reddit (slow day at work, sue me)
Many fans are livid at the players. As they should be.

That has to burn.
He was also the only one who couldn't beat us under Moyes. He knows that feeling.
I read it referenced to somewhere else but sounds like it wasn't much - Cesc and a couple of the youth players shoving each other around after a "strong but fair*" tackle from Cesc.
*Would probably be his first of the season though.
It wasn't fair knowing Fabregas. Probably went in nasty with studs showing but got the ball too. A tackle which a player on the receiving end would rightly be pissed about in training.I read it referenced to somewhere else but sounds like it wasn't much - Cesc and a couple of the youth players shoving each other around after a "strong but fair*" tackle from Cesc.
