    Graeme Sounness for Chelsea. Imagining the Hilarity of what he'd do with all that money is almost too much for me to handle

    According to BBC it is now confirmed, left by "mutual consent" apparently Ramos is favourite

    Wow, I can't say it was completely out of the blue (no pun intended), but the timing does seem random. Do you think it's because Shevchenko saved his bacon and he just couldn't bare it anymore?


    Take care all.

    I reckon Chelsea just shot their chance of winning the Premiership, personally.

    Which is fine by me. New question though: Does that mean a new team will crack the top four in their stead or will they still stay Champions league bound next year? And can they still put together a solid campaign in this years go-around?



    Take care all.

    I doubt that this will de-stabilise Chelsea to the extent that they don't finish in the top four now. Who knows whether it'll seriously affect their title challenge though in the long run.

    That git's gone and stolen our thunder from beating Sevilla last night now

    At the minute it looks like Liverpool are in there for the best chance but United have came up the table quickly.

    Even though City are second at the minute, we'll not win the league this time around its going to take a long time to get to that standard

    Mourinho was 50/1 to win the sack race at the start of the season. Whoever made that bet is waking up to a wonderful, wonderful morning.

    This shouldn't hurt Chelsea too badly, to be honest. Abramovich won't waste time in bringing in a quality replacement for Mourinho, and the squad's already there to allow them to challenge for the title. Their position will be weakened, sure, but they're not going to slip out of the top four any time soon.

    Another one of those moments when I wish I were a betting man.

    It makes me laugh sometimes to see the quality managers that Chelsea have gotten rid of since Abramovich took over in Ranieri and Mourinho. As much as he annoyed me, I secretly like Mourinho if only because made the Premiership more interesting. I've read that Hiddink and Klinnsman are among the favourites to take over in the long term.

    If Sounness or David O'Leary took over at Chelsea it would make my day. I was trying to think of more Premiership managers who were awful and the first name I thought of was Les Reed (remember him?). He just scared me more than anything though. Creepiest guy ever.

    I'm sad to see Jose gone, honestly. He certainly won't take over another Premiership team (Not Spurs). As for the new manager, the only reason he got in is because he's personal friends with Abramovich! Chelsea are a team in decline.

    Jose I expect will take over the Portugese national team.

    You're the fellow City fan then! Good man.

    Clearly, Chelsea will fall from grace and the mighty City will take their place in the big 4.

    Okay so I still think we're only going to achieve a top 10 finish but it's nice to dream rite

    I think Avram Grant will do a very good job as Chelsea manager.

    Now then, where's Heath when you need to show some smug red superiority?

    I didn't think we played that badly in all honesty. 4-3-3 seemed the best formation and I was fairly pleased with the line-up to begin with. Wessels and the defence played well. What the hell happened with the rest of the players and indeed the rest of the match is utterly beyond me.
