The Chelsea manager, Jose Mourinho will be
smiling to the bank if he's eventually shown
the exit door as widely speculated.
This follows reports on Daily Mirror that the
Portuguese is in line for a pay-out of over
£30million should the EPL champions stage
a U-turn and sack him.
The Chelsea Board had earlier released a
statement indicating to stick with Mourinho
despite the Champions slow start to the
season.
But despite the club board's support for the
beleaguered Mourinho, the Portuguese has
come under severe attack from fans, players
and followers of the EPL.
One of these is the former England manager
Fabio Capello, who in a recent chat with Fox
Sports linked Chelsea's disappointing start to
the season to Mourinho burning out his
players.
Mourinho signed a mouth-watering new deal
worth around £8.5million-a-year two months
ago after winning the Barclays Premier
League in May and the Capital One Cup
three months earlier.
The deal will see him remain at the rein of
affairs at the club until 2019.
But if the 52-year-old is sack, Chelsea will
have to cough out mega-money to pay him off.
Chelsea have been poor so far in this
campaign and sit 16th, having lost more top-
flight matches already this term than they
did in the whole of 2014-15.
The most recent defeat came over the
weekend when his team fell 3-1 at home to
Southampton.
After last Saturday's shock defeat at home
to Southampton, the club is in danger of not
making the Champions League.
No team in Premier League history has ever
made it into the top four after picking up just
eight points, as Chelsea have, from their first
eight games.
