Reasons Chelsea must not sack Jose Mourinho

Chelsea-Jose-Mourinho

After the sackings of Brendan Rodgers and Dick Advocaat, from Liverpool and Sunderland respectively, Mourinho appears to be the next name on the list.
The spat with Eva Carneiro, punishment for criticizing referees and a disastrous start to the season has piled enormous pressure on the world class Chelsea manager. Mourinho has to deliver now, or Chelsea risk missing out on European qualification (let alone a title challenge).
Getting rid of Mourinho seems like an easy fix at this moment, but it would be illogical and poor planning on behalf of the Premier League champions.
Mourinho has not become a bad manager overnight, he is going through a rough patch and he is more than capable of turning it around. Arguably the best manager in the world, Mourinho has the experience and maturity to turn things around with a little support.
