Mourinho

There are a lot of untruths in the media, but it appears that the split between Abramovich and Mourinho was one that was reported accurately. The immediate replacement of Mourinho with Avram Grant shows that this has been a work-in-progress from Abramovich, even if they have claimed that Mourinho left by mutual consent. Interestingly, Pat Nevin has said "Avram Grant is going to be as welcome as Camilla at Diana's memorial"!

I work with a number of young women who are all very upset that Mourinho has gone. He was apparently "decent totty" and he "always had something interesting and funny to say" it seems. I have no comment on the first, but I do think that the Premier League will be weaker for the loss of Mourinho. It will be interesting to see where he ends up managing next, although from the size of his payoff, he certainly doesn't need to work again...
