Looks like he wants a bigger club now that he has the kudos of saving Palace.
Or maybe he wants to take a big payday in the Middle East? Infact I'm surprised that isn't what he did after losing the England job in humiliating circumstances. Can't see any clubs in this country needing a manager who are far superior to Palace in any way.

Sounds like he's jacking it all in and spending time with his family doing things a football manager doesn't have time for.
Wonder how long before he gets the itch again?

Still hope Ajax win against FUP FC tomorrow night. Like someone said on Blue Moon (on europa final thread there before it was deleted for no apparent reason) knowing United they will probably be milking what's happened for sympathy.

I'm hoping against hope that Ajax win. Next season without United getting a place in any European competition would please me no end. Can't stand their glory hunting, arrogant supporters.

Only until the next desperate club sack their Manager mid season and offer him a massive 'survival bonus' for just 3 months work.

Mourinho claiming Ajax shouldn't have been allowed in the Europa league. Guess the irony of United qualifying for CL if they win tonight isn't apparent to egomaniacs.

Speaking of egomaniacs (and one who knows Mourinho very well for that matter) see Terry has been getting some criticism for his "sendoff" this past weekend. Think anyone besides ignorant Chelsea fans know the type of person he is.

I think it was an awful Europa Final. I say 'think' as I was bored so went to bed at halftime 3 am ish here. Man U playing hoofball to a lone striker. Crap.

I think he'll turn up in China and soon. The 'retirement' being a way to exit Palace 'nicely'. Expect news after Palace make their new manager announcement.

Bloody ridiculous. Chelsea should be severely reprimanded.... and fined! Once this sort of stuff is started it becomes an epidemic. I can only assume this will replace a meaningless Testimonial match designed to make the cockanees cough up even more of their hard earned.
What will happen when for example the next Gerrard or Giggs play their final match and the result is important? They can't piss about playing an old war horse through sentimentality can they? Does that mean they would be held in any less esteem? Of course not.

It's like all this minutes silence every other trip to Ewood these days. A minute's clapping is even worse.

Pissed off about this. It means that the Scum now undeservedly qualify for the CL after finishing a poor 6th in the Premiership.

So should Sunderland for deliberately kicking the ball out. As if they haven't insulted their fans enough with displays this past season. It will be hard to fine them though when the bloody referee even partook in the whole thing! Should start by severely reprimanding him should be demoted as referee for the Championship playoff final too.

Chelsea cancelled their victory parade. Apart from Terry he's still going.

I'd allow sunderland a little latitude as they wouldn't want to be seen to spoil the party.

They have just been relegated. Should think about their own fans first and foremost not being Chelsea's whore.

Not to mention the thrashing they got. Even Rovers under Kean managed not to get hammered there on final day in 2012.

About time they changed the name of the Champions League to the "anybody finishing near the top league".
How long is it since only the Champions qualified?
And it was a knock out competition. The CL format is just designed to get the big clubs through to the final stages.
