Mourinho Wins Sack Race

This is incredibly bad news for Chelsea fans (although, let's face it, as a group of individuals, they're hard to empathize with).

Mourinho was the difference between Chelsea being a band of high-price mercenaries (think Lazio in their heyday) and being a well-oiled team. This man understood the chemistry and psychology of teams, and he succeeded brilliantly, as he had (with far less money) at Porto.
