At first glance, I thought how great it would be if the rumours that Jose Mourinho might be fired were true, because I don't think there has been a more annoying little t**t involved with English football. But if you actually sit back and think about this for a minute, Jose has done all the other clubs a huge favour.

He has had endless resources at his fingertips and has spectacularly wasted an incredible amount of money. Just think back through the last three Premiership games, where he complained about the injuries that were causing his team to drop points. Chelsea drew against Reading, Fulham and Aston Villa with a minimum of £60m worth of players sitting on the bench for all these games. That's considerably more money than was spent by their opponents - and in Reading's case, their total squad.

So the question has to be asked: if you lose one defender to injury and have that amount of money sitting on the bench, can you really complain about injuries or should you be questioning the players you have bought? Last summer Mourinho sold William Gallas (a huge mistake by his Russian master) to get Ashley 'I love money' Cole and also cashed in on Robert Huth. And why were Eidur Gudjohnsen and Damien Duff sold because Chelski are surely a lesser team since their departure?

Now ,any manager worth his salt with the money The Special One has had should have been reinforcing his weakest area (defence) even before Gallas was sold. Instead, Mourinho spent his summer romancing Michael Ballack because he saw the German as the final piece in his quest for total world domination. Well, that has worked out pretty well - and the rest of the Premiership are much better off with Jose at the helm.

Consider what would happen if Arsene Wenger or Rafa Benitez had been in charge of Chelski and had that amount of money to spend. The west London club would be miles ahead in the Premiership and Europe.

But also remember this - Roman Abramovich already has Jose's replacement on his payroll. Guus Hiddink is currently manager of the Russian national team but been has been bankrolled by Abramovich, so the new manager is already waiting in the wings, just a plane ride away. So Jose, do us all a big favour and stay just where you are.

Would Chelsea be better off without Mourinho? We'd weclome your comments on this article.
