Second paragraph is hilarious.

'Mourinho caught Chelsea's hierarchy by surprise after the premiere of the club's documentary Blue Revolution by demanding talks at Stamford Bridge over his future.'





deluded *****. They can't muster more than 25,000 for a home Champions League game what the **** makes them think anyone will give a **** about 'Blue Revolution'

Wish I'd put some money on this.....first prem casualty of the season. Who'd of thought it.

Unbelievable - if true.

But lets be honest a manager of his caliber was too good for a second rate nuevo riche club like Chelsea.

Capello?

Jose: It's all over - Chelsea boss texts players to say he's leaving

Jose Mourinho's turbulent reign at Chelsea is expected to end today after he sent text messages to five senior players last night telling them he was leaving.

Mourinho caught Chelsea's hierarchy by surprise after the premiere of the club's documentary Blue Revolution by demanding talks at Stamford Bridge over his future.

Those talks went on late into last night, but his players are under the impression that the 1-1 draw against Rosenborg on Tuesday night was his last match in charge.

Mourinho, who has been at loggerheads with the Chelsea board for the past 12 months, sent text messages to five players at 6pm.

By midnight, the entire first-team squad were aware that Mourinho, who led the club to two Premiership titles after joining the club in June 2004, will be forced out by their billionaire owner Roman Abramovich.

The Chelsea manager told his players that he will report to the training ground as usual today, but it will be only to say goodbye after just over three years at the club.

Incredibly, Juande Ramos, who was in charge of Sevilla during their 3-0 defeat against Arsenal in the Champions League last night, is being linked with the job.

Ramos turned down Tottenham last month when it emerged that he was waiting for a bigger offer, but he is one of many names on Chelsea's radar after leading Sevilla to two successive UEFA Cup triumphs.

Mourinho still has three years left on a contract worth a staggering £6.5million a year, but Abramovich is prepared to pay up a huge proportion of that.

At the time he signed the deal, Mourinho said: "My heart is with Chelsea and the fantastic group of players that I have but the vision of the owner and the board for the future of Chelsea is also one I want to be a part of it. I cannot imagine another situation or another club where I could be happier. I am totally behind this project."

Chelsea's board have become increasingly restless following the club's disjointed start to the season, which has left the club fifth in the Premier League, two points behind leaders Arsenal after six games, and it manifested itself after the 1-1 draw against Norwegian minnows Rosenborg in their first Champions League group game on Tuesday.

Mourinho complained, as he has complained every week since the start of the season, about injuries to key players, and that has not sat easily with the board.

Incredibly, Mourinho's decision to leave Stamford Bridge after three years at the club comes just two days before they travel to Old Trafford to face Manchester United in the Premier League in one of the biggest games of the season.

It means assistant manager Steve Clarke or director of football Avram Grant will be asked to take the team on Sunday.

AAAAAAAAAnnnnnnnnbelievable

Arsenal shirts will start to sell very well in London.

That abramovich is a right tit, Mourinho was the best thing to happen to that team (appart from money bags himself) think he'll rue the day he let him go, but it can only be good news for us really

Yep.

Unless he brings in Capello, Lippi or Hiddink he's going to look very silly.

But the timing. Loving this.

Capello?

If Romans problem is with the style of football he's probably bottom of the list
