We Lost the Special One



Its true.



The man I have jokingly referred to as wanting to be like, when "I grow up" has left Chelsea Football Club!



The self-styled "Special One", who truly made my claims of Chelsea Football the best club in the world as true as they have ever been in our history has finally had enough of the interference, meddling and constant looking-over-shoulder from the owners of the club.



No not the fans, who I believe really "own" the club but the wealthy Russian Oligarch who had the financial muscle to match the dreams and aspirations of Jose Mourinho. No doubt, without the influx of hard cash we would probably still be an 'almost there' club in the English Premiership. But more than money can buy... the winning mentality and moulding of a conquer-all side was ALL Mourinho's doing.



And now we have lost him.



We didnt let him go... we lost him. And it puts a sinking feeling in my stomach.



Jose Mourinho, I do you no justice when I put the moniker of "self-styled" next to your description. No matter what happens after this. You are already one of the greats of the game and you can only better your previous achievements. Too bad those achievements will not be tied to those of Chelsea's



You really are the Special One!
(I dont feel like working today!)

Star quality is in the person not the environment/circumstance.

Jose is a star.

I am not a football fan.
I am a fan of the fanatism exhibited by football fans.

I am gloating with Chelsea haters while commiserating with Chelsea fans.

I don't suppose that the special one would like to fill the might as well be unoccupied position at WHL? I mean he wouldn't even have to leave London!

Heart felt commiserations my friend
