Football The 2015/2016 Season Thread

I for one hope nothing changes in January and he carries on this way. Long live Jose.

 

[Scouse]

Worst season since last time they were relegated

 

[Embattle]

The only player who I can think has truly given everything in nearly every game this season is Willian.

 

[Bodhi]

There are 4 or 5 players I'd be shipping out in January to be honest, clearly love their paychecks more than the club itself.

 

[Raven]

4 or 5 is a bit generous tbh.

Keep Zouma, Courtois and Willian...bin the rest. Terry and Ivan seem to be showing a bit of passion at least but they are beyond past it.

 

[Calaen]

I don't rate Hazard as a world class player to be honest, he had an alright season last year, but look at him now. Real world class players rarely have a dip in form for a few matches let alone 5 months. Hazard looks like he's been found out, I think he's a good player, but he's some way off proving to me that he's an elite level player.

 

[Embattle]

I do find it funny that you would still have to payoff Jose if he was sacked.

Maureen gone.

That's a shame.

 

[Moriath]

Aye. Not a shame tho imo

[Scouse]

Oh Lol!

Pep Guardiola, Guus Hiddink, Brendan Rodgers and Juande Ramos have all been touted as possible successors.

Pleeeeeeease!

 

[Gwadien]

So does this show how much of a genius manager Ranieri was?

It's argued that he built Maureens successful team, but he didn't stay long enough to capitalise on it, whereas Maureen did? When Maureen was given a blank page, he did nothing?

 

[Embattle]

I'm rather ambivalent about Jose going.

 

[caLLous]

I'm not. You might start climbing the table now.

 

[Bodhi]

I'm rather ambivalent about Jose going.

I'm not. I think it was a fucking ridiculous decision - that we appear to have made twice now.

 

[Raven]

Don't they have to pay him crazy money now they have sacked him? Nearly a Benteke isn't it?

 

[caLLous]

It would've been more than a Carroll but I think they're paying him until the end of the season.

 

[caLLous]

He apparently turned down a € 50m payout but this could be so that he can't be stopped from getting another Prem job.

 

[soze]

I read if he does not work for the next two seasons they will pay him nearly £38m in wages. If he takes another job they stop paying him.

Chelsea fans if your team puts in a performance this weekend and wins comfortably will you be happy or pissed off that they have obviously sabotaged Chelsea FC just to get a new manager again.

 

[CorNokZ]

 

[Lethul]

I for one will miss the useless cunt, will be painful to watch them climb the table this spring

 

[Lakih]

I don't care much that he got sacked, I just hope Chelsea drops two or three positions over the next... 4-5 months or so
THAT would be hilarious.

 

[Calaen]

Player power wins again, and to think Villas Boas and Benitez were ridiculed for trying to kick the old guard to the kerb.

 

[Bodhi]

Um the only one of the old guard left was JT, the rest had all moved on...

 

[Scouse]

I reckon that the physio episode was the start of the downfall. He was such a monumental fucktard to have a beef with someone who's only job is to act in the best interests of the players. It'll have started there and then snowballed...

 

[Hawkwind]

Shame he's gone, for pure comedy reasons I would have loved him to stay the rest of the season.

 

[DaGaffer]

It was actually before that; their pre-season tour was a mess as well. Something started as far back as then and I think the medical thing came out of whatever happened on that tour.

 

[Embattle]

I can't help but feel the very thing that makes him so successful is the very thing that eventually causes his downfall.

 

[soze]

They were saying in work Hazard told Chelsea he would not play again under Jose.
