Jose Mourinho stunned the assembled packed press conference by announcing that on more than one occasion he had thought about quitting Chelsea at the end of the season.

Because everybody seems to be more concerned with the 'money' and not about the achievements of the club during his tenure, JM said "During the season, I thought a couple of times of close the door and say goodbye at the end of the season. This is the worst club in the world to manage but I am very, very happy to stay because this club is a special club."

Remember a couple of years ago when 'The Special One' walked off the winners podium when Porto won the Champions League and a few days later joined Chelsea? Well yesterday 'The Special One' not only threw his suit jacket into the packed Matthew Harding Stand but his Premiership winners medal went in there too. Some lucky so and so had a real good day. The first thought that went through my head was that he is going to leave, but to every Chelsea fan's relief JM explained that this was not his intention.

He said "One of the reasons we are champions again is we have an incredible record of one single draw at home. I have my medal from last season and I believe the people in the Matthew Harding Stand are the best supporters we have. One lucky guy will have a fantastic memory - unless he goes to eBay and makes a fortune!

"Earlier this season, I won nine consecutive matches, then went on a run winning a lot of matches but I never, never, never won Manager of the Month. At Chelsea, you are not recognised.

"I give you another example: Chelsea was fined because against West Bromwich the players surrounded the referee. But did you see the same thing when Fulham players pressed the referee to disallow the goal? Chelsea is treated always in a negative way.

"I am happy to stay because it is a pleasure to work with this club and with these people. This is the fourth time in a row that I have won the Championship and I should be the happiest manager in the world at this moment and I am not. But don’t interpret this is a doubt I want to stay."

COME ON JOSE, CHILL OUT.
