Jose Mourinho has left Chelsea.

Breaking news on SSN!!!

I love it.

[Lineker]

Fuck yes.

[FLiam]

Apparently, The Daily Mail are reporting he has texted the first team to let them know he is leaving.

Ramos has been linked with the job as well.

I really hope this is true.

[Summers]

Whaaat?

Wikipedia works quick.

It has recently been reported that Mourinho may have left or been fired from his post at Chelsea. [1]

Teehee, I got £50 on it about 35 minutes from Betfair at 1.35. Not much, but piss easy money.

So soon before the United game as well, I love it!

EDIT: The rumour was first doing the rounds at 11:40, appearing on Eurosport, spreading like wild fire til it got to SSN.

Holy shit, this is a huge story if its confirmed. Any rumors on a destination for Jose?

[gnfnrhead]

A link would be helpful. Its not on SkySports.com

[GA!]

It's the main news story on BBC News' website. Seriously? Is it that important?

[Johnny Latino Heat]

Good riddance. Maybe this way he'll stop being worshiped around here that much.

[Baddar]

Wow.

Only just heard, and was gonna C+P this.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has sensationally left Stamford Bridge, according to BBC Radio 5live football correspondent Jonathan Legard.

There has been no official confirmation so far from the Premiership club.

More to follow.

As good as this is, to be fair, how hard arsed are Chelsea? A draw in the CL and 15,000 or so fans dressed as blue seats and you're out. They won't find anyone better.

[gnfnrhead]

I wonder if its true. I hope it is but im not believeing it just yet.

It's on the BBC homepage. I don't have access to SkySports News (Shitty Virgin Media) but a mate is saying it's breaking news on there too.

[Lineker]

I wonder what the 'as a life long Chelsea fan' Chelski fans think?

[Jonny D]

SSN now saying they have heard from a senior Chelsea player in the last few minutes that Mourinho has gone.

No word who the player is but it seems a certainty.

[Guest Ringmaster]

Ramos as Chelsea boss is just silly, sure he plays yummy stuff but the Sevilla defense made the Spurs defense look godly in comparison throughout most of 2007.

[destroyed]

I'm quite shocked at this news lol. Perhaps he's agreed to join another club or something? Jose for England Manager?

[Lineker]

My bet: Capello.

Although he's even more defensive....

[Baddar]

Yeah, seems it is 100% that he has left now. Apparently (and I use that word again) it said on SSN that he sent texts to the players earlier tonight saying he was leaving.

[Guest Ringmaster]

Capello for Jose is even more silly, they're like identical in all their tactics. If Abramovich wasn't up Putin's ass he should get Hiddink. In the meantime I'd say Lippi is Chelsea's best option, he's got the total package they'd want.
