The poor English press, now they won't be able to make up imaginary spats between Mourinho and Benitez. No more trying to convince everyone that Jose is alluding to Liverpool when he opens his mouth to breathe. It's truly a sad day for all the losers in the world who eat up that crap like it's gospel.
I actually feel sorry for Jose. He was in a no-win situation with Abramovich and the board at Chelsea. He shows he knows how to put a winning side together and all the Russian billionaire wanted to do was interfere. Mourinho made it clear that he didn't want either Ballack or Shevchenko, but listening to a guy who had won four league titles in four years in two different countries was seemingly below Roman.
Mourinho needs and deserves full power over a squad for them to prosper. He's shown more than enough that he's capable of winning trophies for a club that allows him such power. Chelsea fans just sat around and watched as cracks in the relationship between owner and coach began to show.
Will there be a mass protest of Mourinho leaving? Probably not, because ultimately they think their Russian billionaire will be able to use his oil money to buy a great coach. Though I doubt the result will be the same. There went your history, Blues fans, try to remember it while you can.
