I hear he could have gone on Sunday - but, like previous sackings, Chelsea are choosing their moment. They want an opportunity that minimises the damage caused to the club. That means balancing the risk that a Mourinho side increasingly riven with divisions continues to lose games, with a moment to give his replacement the longest possible run-up at a debut match.
Sense says, discounting a complete disaster against Dynamo Kiev on Wednesday, that the axe will fall after Stoke on Saturday evening.
No ´emergency press conferences´ (as some social media trolls have alluded to), just a simple statement put out via the official club website thanking him for his efforts, but talking about the ´regrettable´ nature of recent results. Lunchtime on Sunday, given previous conduct.

Personlig ønskeliste såfremt dette bliver tilfældet:
1 - Guus H overtager frem til sommerferien, hvorefter Simeone tager over.
2 - Guus H overtager frem til sommerferien, hvorefter Pep tager over
3 - Ancelotti overtager nu og får lov at arbejde med holdet i en længere årrække - han er 56 år gammel og burde have 5-10 mere i sig
Jeg ville foretrække sidstnævnte løsning såfremt den pæne mand ikke havde haft en lorte oplevelse i klubben tidligere - jeg fornemmer at han ikke er stærk nok overfor ledelsen eks. Mr. A.
