Not so special

After that lacklustre draw with Rosenborg and the inevitable egg on Jose’s face, the writing was on the wall. Him and Roman of course fell out of love quite sometime ago and reports of the Russian bizarrely grinning ear to ear after Rosenborg took the lead on Tuesday night clearly indicates where his thoughts lay.
Mourinho had to go.
Two league titles in three years, one FA Cup and two Carling Cups is anything but failure. So why is Jose leaving? Of course Chelsea have missed out on the Champions League so far but that’s just an excuse. When you don’t play the striker the boss bent over backwards to bring over and are pretty strong headed in not giving way to the new manager in waiting masquerading as Director of Football who also happens to be the boss’s mate then that’s a problem apparently.
Undermining such a strong character as the Special One was also going to end up like this but maybe Mr. Abramovich need only look at another aspiring giant who having spent obscene amounts on both super star players and high profile managers expected instant success of the invicible kind. Money just can’t buy that kind of success.
Los Galacticos know that first hand. This could be bigger and more unsettling than Thierry leaving.

Alas a fish cake.
Yet more fish cakes
Guess what ... yeah ... fish cakes.
