It’s been a bad day, please don’t take a picture.

It was actually a great until I was back from the company outing. I sat down in front of my PC, checked the final score, Mariners 9-5 A’s. I can’t say I was surprised. But then I found out the news about Mourinho’s departure.
Speechless.
I skimmed through all relevant discussions online. I still cannot accept the fact that Jose, the special one, our beloved gaffer was sacked. Well, they said he “part company today by mutual consent”.
I know managers come and go; heck, players come and go. But deep down I always thought that Jose will be with us til the end of time, and after that, JT will be his successor. I just bought Jose Mourinho: Made in Portugal last week. I was gonna learn more about pre-Chelsea era Jose Mourinho and looked forward to more amazing things he’s gonna do with the blues.
And now he’s gone.
I’m still in shock; I’m still in denial. But I wanna thank Mourinho for the heart and soul you put into the blues, for all the quotables, for all the fun and joy you brought us on and off the field. You’re always our special one, a Chelsea legend. Thank you, Jose. We love you, and we’ll miss you.
