| Re: Mourinho leaves Chelsea
I heard Avram Grant is taking over temporarily.
From the outside looking in, it does seem as though Chelsea have imploded since following their consecutive titles. The owner seemed to piss off the manager with heavy influence in the signings of two players (Ballack and Shevchenko) that Mourinho never seemed to want or like and, the inclusion of which forced him to move more away from his favoured tactics and style of play.
I'm sure they will counter these arguements by saying that Mourinho left because of the lack of funds in previous years and try to counter anything he says.
To be honest though, if Ballack and Shevchenko were bought in without Mourinho's say so, thus undermining him to the likes of Arnesen, then Jose should have walked away last summer as soon as that happened. Once the manager has his ultimate say revoked (or he thinks he has) then it's time to go. |
