Jose Mourinho to be Sacked

Chelsea are reportedly preparing to sack manager Jose Mourinho following Saturday's 3-1 defeat at home to Liverpool.
The Premier League champions, who had lost five of their first 10 games before kickoff, went into the clash knowing that another poor result could cost the Portuguese his job.

Mourinho, 52, told reporters at full time that he was confident over being given time to turn things around but, according to The Mirror, the Blues' hierarchy have set the wheels in motion for his dismissal.
The decision is expected to be finalised before Chelsea's Champions League clash at home to Dynamo Kiev on Wednesday.

Should the sacking materialise, Mourinho, who only signed a contract extension in August, would reportedly pick up a £9.5m sum in compensation.
They sit 15th in the table, 14 points behind co-leaders Manchester City and Arsenal.

Hull City Manager chides Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen following Spurs' 2-1 win

Following Spurs' 2-1 win over Hull City, City manager Steve Bruce lashed out at Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen for exaggerating to get Hull City's Ramirez Gaston red-carded. Bruce castigated such act as unhealthy for the Premier League. The Uruguayan midfielder Ramirez got the red card for kicking at Belgian Jan Vertonghen. Bruce argued his man only showed "petulance" when he was provoked by Jan. And such behaviour could not be regarded as "violent". The City went down when Tottenham's Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen found the net in the game's second half. Speaking with his news conference, Bruce said, "Ramirez has shown petulance. Vertonghen has had a little go at him, and Ramirez has flicked out. The law says it is a violent conduct. For me, it is an act of petulance -- it is not violent conduct." Via espn

Headmaster Pep Guardiola injects new rules into City camp; bans mobile phones

It's safe to say Pep is a perfectionist and also a headmaster, lol. But seriously, Pep has no intentions to drop his standards after a record-breaking 2017/18 season. He doesn't plan to chart a course like his colleague Ranieri of Leicester City did. Pep recently banned the use of mobile phones, and he also banned lateness to training. Every violation comes with a corresponding fine, ask Benjamin Mendy. Pep plans to repeat his outstanding triumph like he did last season.
