Chelsea Finally Sends Jose Mourinho Packing!

Just few days ago an Uyo, Akwa Ibom- Nigeria based sports analyst Mr. Iniobong Monday posted on his Facebook wall that Chelsea football club went to relegation the last time they lost eight consecutive league matches and that that was in 1978/79 season. It seems however that the club got fever of this post and to avoid such déjàvu sacked its manager Jose Mourinho. This is following the disorienting monday's 2-1 defeat at leaders Leicester City seven months after he led them to the Premier League title. Unfortunately for the 52-year-old Portuguese who is on his second missionary journey at the club, taking charge in June 2013 he has lost 9 out of 16 league matches in the table despite the fact that Chelsea finished eight points clear last season and won the League Cup. Today they are barely one point above the relegation places.
Meanwhile Pep Guardiola, Guus Hiddink, Juande Ramos and Brendan Rodgers have all been touted as possible successors as Blues owner Roman Abramovich begins to scout for a credible manager to replace Mourinho whose three league titles, FA Cup, Community Shield and three League Cup wins over two spells make him the most successful manager in the club's 110-year history. But Sunderland boss Sam Allardyce expressing his "shocked to say the least", is of the opinion that "They must already have somebody lined up to have done it now." And while a few pundits sympathize with the "Special One" they admit like Alan Shearer that his second spell has been dreadful. So while some admit that his sack is a loss to the premiership it is also generally conceded as the best thing for the club. In fact, in the words of former England and Arsenal defender Martin Keown Mourinho had "lost the players... It has imploded in front of our eyes," he said. "It is astonishing. I saw players who were not giving everything.There is no trust there, respect is gone. Ultimately it is easier to change a manager than 22 players."
Thus while some jeer the "Special One" now as th

e "Unhappy One" it is a universal wonder what will be the fate of the club without Mourinho and that of Mourinho without Chelsea FC.
