Just last year he was the best manager in Chelsea history. It's all cheap talk and business - there's loyalty. #Mourinho #Soccer #Chelsea #business #loyalty

I can imagine Eva Carneiro dedicating 'Rolling in the Deep' to Jose Mourinho! Never ever scorn a woman! Jose learns about 'karma' the hard way! #MourinhoSacked

Despite sort of blaming the disaster that the last season was for Chelsea on Mourinho, the club called the manager who won three league titles, FA Cup, Community Shield and three League Cups over two spells, the most successful one in the 110-year history of Chelsea who "will always be warmly welcomed back to Stamford Bridge."
