His jealously guarded aura needs a cornerman to step in and save it, by the time Abramovich pulls the trigger it may well be beyond repair.

I think you're right. Someone needs to throw in the towel on this season but it doesn't look like happening for him! Like most others, I thought that even with an iffy season Mourinho would end up elsewhere, probably PSG. But it is so bad that perhaps potential suitors may have second thoughts about him now.

 

Arguably Europe might save him - not at Chelsea, but for future job prospects. I think the players are playing better in Europe to try to keep their own reputations afloat. They don't come out of this with any credit either. Hazard and Fabregas look shadows of what they were last season, for example.

José Mourinho said his players had betrayed him and can no longer view themselves as superstars after Chelsea suffered a ninth league defeat of the season, at the hands of an excellent Leicester City side, to leave them only one point above the relegation zone and the manager under increasing pressure to hold onto his job.

 

On a night when Leicester regained top spot courtesy of goals from Jamie Vardy and the outstanding Riyad Mahrez in a thoroughly deserved 2-1 victory over the champions, Mourinho also rounded on the ballboys, whom he accused of being a “disgrace to the Premier League” for alleged time-wasting.

Awesome.  There's probably a little old lady in Aberdeen or somewhere living in fear that next week it will be her turn to be blamed for Chelsea's abject season.

 

A week before Christmas and they're in 16th place with 15 points from 16 games, having only won four games this season.

 

How terribly sad.

I keep wanting Leicester to win and keep going but I know the closer they get to actually winning the thing then the more I'll want them to lose.....

In reality I couldn't bear the thought of them winning the league from nowhere when we have been trying for 26 years, I guess that's the bitter football fan in me.
