It looks like if players can change their manager by being **** if they don't want him. Not the first time the Chelsea players have got rid of a manager. See also Leicester.
Well my thoughts there was largely influenced by a radio interview I listened to last week with some Spanish football person who openly declared that the Spanish giants would have no interest in him whatsoever as the general feeling there is one of utter amazement that he is still in his position after a decade of failure.

Mourinho had won a league title just 6 months or whatever before being sacked and let’s remember had also won 2 Champions Leagues, in essence one season of falling below standards was not enough to really damage his legacy.

I am not convinced AW, a deeply respected man of course, is still on that very top shelf as he heads towards retirement.
