Throb · Fri Apr 20, 2007 4:15 pm Kenyon rules out Mourinho sacking

From BBC Sport

Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon has revealed the club have no plans to sack boss Jose Mourinho in the summer.
Speculation over the Portuguese coach's future at Stamford Bridge - and his relationship with owner Roman Abramovich - has been rife all season.

But Kenyon has denied the club have been looking at potential replacements.

"Jose's got a contract until 2010 and we're not going to sack him. He's got the full support of the board, that's really important," he told Chelsea TV.

"We've been linked with something like 14 managers now I think, but we've not got a list and we're not looking."

Does that sound like the dreaded "vote of confidence" to anyone ?

They have not played the best fluent beautiful football to watch like Arsenal and Manchester United but he certainly has done the business with that Chelsea side. I reckon it would be folly on Chelsea's part to axe him.

Yeah, seem to remember Eggy Magnuson saying the same thing about Pardew, 2 days before he sacked him and suspiciously, very quickly, replaced him with Curbs! :?
