ed,
IF Jose was to return, would we have to pay Real Madrid compensation? Heard talk that we would but Madrid want rid, so why would chelsea have to pay compensation to buy him out?

just for the record, I don't want him back at the bridge. I think its short term and a step backwards. di you have any opinions of your own on the next manager and if Jose was to return.

Thanks for the continued hard work.
Russ {Ed002's Note - There is a clause that allows JM to be released from his contract for a fixed sum of money on a sliding scale year-on-year. As such, him leaving this summer will mean that a sum needs to be paid by either him or ny another club that he might be joining.}

Whilst I understand that not everything read in newspapers/online is factual or even slightly so, I recall reading/hearing that compensation had been agreed between Madrid and Mourinho. I had assumed at the time that it was compensation paid to Mourinho for being dismissed, however it could simply have been an agreement to what amount would need to be paid by him/another club to be released by Real. Could you possibly clarify as to which may be correct?
In my personal opinion I thought that both Real and Mourinho wanted out and that they would come to some sort of mutual consent. {Ed002's Note - There is a known amount that needs to be paid when he leaves, as I said, I am not sure what the concern is.}

Agree0 Disagree0

But if madrid want to bring in someone new, surely they cannot command a compensation payment. {Ed002's Note - He has a contract and everyone is bound by that.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Isnt Madrid bound to the contract to pay him though as well Ed? Or is that only the case if they fire him, like we have with AVB and others before him. {Ed002's Note - Not if he wants to leave.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed to the best of your knowledge, which side is pushing this to happen because for us on the outside it seems all the talk is coming from José's side and not the club, please? {Ed002's Note - I really don't want to go down this route after already explaining the situation.}

Agree0 Disagree0

I really hope Jose goes to psg, he dosnt fit the new theme defo a step backwards if you ask me. We will loose isco for a 6feet+ player to start with then he will get sacked in a couple years after he has dismantled our young tiki taka squad for 6feet+ average team

I heard a rumour about Chelsea extending Lampards contract, is that likely to happen Ed? {Ed002's Note - Nothing has changed at this time as far as I am aware. He has offers from elsewhere and is considering those. There is no offer from Chelsea but remains a slim chance they will make one.}

Believable5 Unbelievable2

Which clubs have made offers ed? {Ed002's Note - Most notably there have been discussions with LA Galaxy, but there are offers from China, Italy and the Middle East.}

ED002 Have chelsea rekindled interest in neymar? has Emalano been to Brazil to personally see him play in the last few weeks? {Ed002's Note - The club has people regularly in Brazil. Nothing has changed with respect to the situation with Neymar and I expect him to move after the world cup.}
