i dunno what all you think but i am hugely disapointed at the exit of mourinho. as much as im a united fan i enjoyed this man being within the english game and thought he was good for ferguson. he gave fergie competition like no manager has ever done. and his arrogance will be missed by me.....but then again i feel sorry for martin jol atm

Great news, we'll batter them now on the weekend. Jose is a quitter, this proves it.
He doesn't even come close to Ferguson. Much better manager always will be.
Why do you feel sorry for Jol?

Former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is in line to receive up to £25m in compensation after his departure from Stamford Bridge, BBC Sport understands.
The Portuguese was swiftly replaced on Thursday by former director of football Avram Grant after three years in charge.

But he still has another three years to run on his reputed £5.2m-a-year deal.

Lawyers for both sides are still working on the severance package that will include confidentiality clauses.

According to BBC football correspondent Jonathan Legard, discussions are said to be well advanced as the split was seen coming.

Legard has also been told Mourinho was feeling a sense of relief since the departure.

"He's felt boxed-in from demands on high, he's felt boxed-in from the boardroom in terms of boardroom dealings," Legard said.

"And he's felt under pressure from those alongside him in the dugout, namely the man who has succeeded him, Avram Grant."
