Fabregas & Costa BOOED For Chelsea Mourinho Sack

The Portuguese manager was hailed by fans at
Stamford Bridge with cheers and banners as two of
the players most widely linked to dressing room
discontent were jeeredWith Guus Hiddink present in
Roman Abramovich's box at Stamford Bridge,
Chelsea fans took exception to the Russian's decision
to sack Jose Mourinho, launching into chants in
support of their former manager and roundly booing

the names of Diego Costa and Cesc Fabregas as they
were announced in the starting line-up.
Mourinho was sacked on Thursday following a
disastrous start to the club's Premier League title
defence, suggesting that his players had "betrayed
him" following the 2-1 defeat to Leicester City on
Monday.
But while Abramovich moved to dismiss the
Portuguese manager, the feeling around Stamford
Bridge prior to kick-off with Sunderland was that the
decision was incorrect.
Fans were late to fill the stadium, but once they did,
the shows of support for the 52-year-old began.
Two banners heralded Mourinho as "simply the best"
and "one of us", while chants of 'Jose Mourinho'
followed each goal, supporters defiantly sticking by
the club's most successful manager of the Premier
League era.
That atmosphere in support of Mourinho, however,
contrastly fiercely with the reaction to Cesc Fabregas
and Diego Costa, two of the players rumoured to
have had major issues with their manager this
season.
The fans did not hold back their anger with the two
Spain internationals, loudly sounding their
disapproval as the stadium announcer twice ran
through the starting line-up.
In his statement following his appointment on
Saturday, Guus Hiddink talked of his determination to
turn things around but the fans' reaction during the
match with Sunderland suggests the scars of this
season will not fade quickly.
