Mourinho The Final Goodbye

Well in true Chelsea soap opera style, the latest episode of the soap opera that is often Chelsea provided a storyline to grip the nation.

After some extensive negotiations Chelsea reached an agreement with Jose Mourinho regarding his compensation package, it read,

"Chelsea FC has reached agreement on all contractual arrangements with Jose Mourinho."

It`s a cold clinical parting of the ways and before heading off in search of another job, Jose Mourinho issued a statement that read,

"I am very proud of my work in Chelsea Football Club and I think my decision in May 2004 to come to England was an excellent one."

"It was a beautiful and rich period of my career. I want to thank all Chelsea FC supporters for what I believe is a never ending love story."

"I wish great success to the club, a club that will be forever connected to me for some historical moments."

The current situation reminds me of the old saying,

"It`s better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all"

What they neglect to mention are the feelings of despair, the emptiness and the dramatic realisation that there is every chance life will never be the same again.

Perhaps we should all heed some former words our ex-manager offered during another time of crisis,
