Good decision by the board to not renew for Terry , he's a legend , a good defender but not a real captain because he was absulotely negetive in the dressing room when most players betrayed Jose Mourinho. It's obviously what was happening by playing 9 games without lose with Gess .

Being a Chelsea fan started when I watched the match of either FA cup or Community Shield against Manchester United about 10 years ago from now. Chelsea lost that match by penalties, but I was totally excited by the game of Frank Lampard, a fantastic move of Didier Drogba and brilliant defensive skills of John Terry. That's the main reason of supporting this club even if it falls into the downfall of Premier league. I've become a very loyal fan when Chelsea became champions of Europe in 2012, and will still support until retire))

You shouldn't take it personally , why don't you like Jose ? If it's because his style of play , I think you are wrong , because when he had got the quality of players he needs , you would see him play a beautiful offensive play . Like in his first term in Chelsea in 2007 -2008 he won man utd at old traffold 3-0 and won Barcelona 4-2 . He had the players he chose , but now it can't be compared between these players and the squid at that time , can t compare cesc with Lampard , hazard with Robbin , Willian with duff , Costa with drogba , Ramires with makalele , matic with essien .

My opinion is that both players and coaches/managers should act in the best interests of the club. If one of the components of this equation is underperforming, you should fix or replace it. Obviously, something went wrong between Jose and some of the Blues' key players. And it is extremely challenging to 'fix or replace' a number of players at once, that's why the club owner went for the other option and parted company with the Special One.

And the owner is wrong , because Jose intended to stay for a along time at Chelsea , and can build team for decades and be the strongest team in the world but now whoever be the manager won't stay as long as Jose wanted .

He should have replacedthe key players to keep Jose whatever it takes even if the bad results lead to relegation , we don't care about Cesc , Oscar ,Terry , Costa and hazard , they aren't the best in the world we can find better than them but we can't find better than Jose .

I do agree with you about the Blues' owner - he is fond of hot fixes and likes quick wins with poor strategic thinking, but I really doubt that fans would accept Chelsea's relegation.Just remember all the excuses for those defeats Jose was talking about: Chelsea physio Eva, lack of luck,conspiracy, referees, mass media etc. but he has never admitted his fault, and he always wanted it to be his way without deferring to the opinions of the players that ultimately led to the 'palpable discord' in the dressing room. It's interesting how quickly the fans mood changes: last season you praised for those players (Hazard, Cesc, Costa and Terry) & now you are blaming them.

It's almost done , Gus is going to take it over till the end of the season , he and the board have started the negotiation in London today .
An interview with a board influencing member in Chelsea tv channel hinted the reason of the sack is the issues and bad relation between Jose and the players . It's easy to change one man despite changing 11 players , that's what led to sacked Jose . I think fans love towards Jose wouldn't let them accept his departure , unless those players win the champions league cup .

For me I think the right man for Chelsea is guardiola , because he and Jose are the best coaches in the world .

They deservedly called Jose the most successful manager in Chelsea's 110-year history. This decision was coming to a head: low commitment and poor performance of key players, absence of tactical tricks, porous defence, lack of creativity upfront, disrespectful behaviour, devastating defeats by underdogs, pressure from mass media and the board (as they are the defending champions), to say the least. When you weight those arguments in and put Chelsea fans' love on the other side of the scale, I think the decision for the club is quite obvious even though he is the Special One.

Who took this decision whoever the board or the chairmen , should know all the fans support and love Chelsea , it's not his mistake , bad results aren't caused by him , they have to punish the players for their bad performance . Terry disliked his taking off in man city match and told Gerard about what was happening in the dressing room . Hazard , Oscar , cesc , Costa and matic are they going to do their best next matches ?!!!!!!

It's Really auwaful to sack him , what new manager can do Now ? I don't think he can do better .

I believe the right man for this job is guardiola. Hope the board and the chairman don't regret this decision .

What news !!!! Who took this decision whoever the board or the chairmen , should know all the fans support and love Chelsea , it's not his mistake , bad results aren't caused by him , they have to punish the players for their bad performance . Terry disliked his taking off in man city match and told Gerard about what was happening in the dressing room . Hazard , Oscar , cesc , Costa and matic are they going to do their best next matches ?!!!!!!

It's Really auwaful to sack him , what new manager can do Now ? I don't think he can do better .

I believe the right man for this job is guardiola. Hope the board and the chairman don't regret this decision .
