I am looking for an honest discussion on this. I know I will get a lot of stock for saying all this...but ah well..
To be honest, I dont want Jose back.
Not convinced by his football style, nor his supposed transfer plans, particularly concerning Luiz.
I dont think he can work long term anywhere, I feel he will divide the club when he does go, I am scared he will allow the old guard to linger and fester in our first XI.
I dont want player power to return after we have slowly been dismantling the worst of it.
And I actually find his ego rather insufferable.
In addition, I am not sure he has the same drive. He looks to have aged terribly, he's probably exhausted by the sound of things.
And I genuinely think football and tactics are moving on without him.
I know I will get slated for saying all this. I agree Jose was a great manager and did good things for us, but its time to move on from these indulgent fantasies.
I doubt everyone will be saying the same thing when we sell Luiz, shackle Mata and Hazard, condemn Oscar to the bench, stall our youth development, and reinstate Essien, Lampard, Terry and Mikel to permanent places in the first XI. The football is gonig to be terrrible.
I would honestly prefer Rafa. I understand Klopp and Pep aren't interested, but am gutted we arent the ones looking for Pellegrini.
No to Jose! Move on people!

Liverpool I guess is play very exciting football at the moment but definitely love to be winning trophies like chelsea even if its means playing crapping footie like chelsea

I think he has to come back. There has been a Jose shadow hanging over every manager since he was here, until he comes back it will always be there.
Personally I don't think we can lose (medium to long term), if he does well then brilliant but if doesn't then maybe we can finally break that bond
I'm taking all the transfer rumours with a pinch of salt seen so many fail to materialise I don't believe any of them (except the one about Jose coming back )

Not saying Conte is not a good manager but right now he is the flavour of the month, We took on a flavour of the month and his inexperience managing a big team nearly destroyed us. Not saying Juve is not a big club but right now the Chelsea post is an elite (if for anything for its difficulty) post and only the best can survive.

Jose will be in...he is the best available
Luiz will not be leaving to go anywhere
The old guard (Lamps Terry) still have a place in the squad...for now...Cech is still very much No1 for me...despite Courtois coming through well
Jose will buy well in summer...i'm looking forward to the season already
Paulo...get used to the above mate...it's happening

Jose is old and past it, so what if some of the best managers in the world are older then him.
He went trophy-less for the first time this season which means he's past it.
