The fallout is well underway.

You'll have heard by now that Chelsea have parted company with Jose Mourinho for the second time after a dismal start to the season, with the champions just a point above the relegation zone after 16 games. As expected, there has been a lot of reaction to the breaking news on social media. Here are just some of the words...

Mourinho turned mood toxic with "betrayal" comments but #cfc stars underperformed. Fans who backed Mourinho may make that point on Saturday.

Jose Mourinho, Pep Guardiola and Carlo Ancelotti are all available for a job. Three of the greatest managers ever. Do something, United!

60% - Jose Mourinho's second spell in charge of Chelsea yielded a 60% Premier League win rate, compared to 71% during his first spell. Dip.

Jose Mourinho. From the Special One to Specialist In Failure in seven months.

As much as Jose Mourinho is his own worst enemy sometimes, his players hung hin out to dry. They stopped playing fir him a long time ago ?
