CHELSEA STATEMENT

20.09.2007

Chelsea Football Club and Jos? Mourinho have agreed to part company today (Thursday) by mutual consent

I'm sad that this has had to happened. Occasionally, he will say words that are not meant to be said and try to do things that is really perplexing, but he was a brilliant tactician. I'm not a supporter for Chelsea but I do feel that maybe the Premier League have just lost a good coach, unless of course he moves to another Premier League club. Before he came, it was only about Sir Alex Ferguson against Arsene Wenger but he added a bit more to the mix when he joined. Now, I wonder who will Chelsea select for manager as they aren't that many that's going to take the job with an owner who likes to run things in the background.

But everybody knows people from Manchester only support Man City, whereas Man Utd has a following from glory hunting supporters all over the world;))

You know, I'm a bit peeved at this statement. You can still support a club even though you've never visited them or never live in the town itself. Sure, some of them may have loyalties that will instantly change to a much more successful club when called but there are those who still passionately support their club without ever setting foot into their grounds. I just find the statement ignorant and insulting to these supporters, some of them in which case are supporting your club but if you feel otherwise then I apologise, but what I've said has not changed.

As for me, I've supported Manchester United since I was very young though in my case I did get the chance to stay in Manchester for two years when I was little. I supported the red half of the city but lived in the blue half as the houses were in much better condition :laugh:: ! All in all, they were two years of wonderful memories and I hope I get to go again in the near future. Here's to hoping Air Asia X starts offering their services at the turn of the year :DD !

I honestly did not mean what I have said in the way you have taken it. People can support Liverpool, Arsenal or Man Utd from all around the world, I have nothing against that. What I am not a fan of though is glory hunters who are just following the crowd, and it seemed to happen an awful lot with Man Utd over the last ten years. I remember when Chelsea won the league...a lot of Man Utd "fans" started to "support" Chelsea, that is what I dislike. A lot of people have gone off Chelsea now, and I that was definitely evident in Mourinho's last match against Rosenberg, when only 26,000 people turned up to see Chelsea play in a Champions League match. That would never happen at Anfield, every match is a sell out within minutes and it is almost impossible to get tickets.

You say you have been to Manchester and like it, and I respect that. I obviously cannot stand Man Utd or Manchester in general because I am a Scouser and I have been brought up that way, although I imagine it is difficult for many people to understand that who are not from Manchester or Liverpool. Mancunians hate Scousers, and Scousers hate Mancunians. Of course, that is largely brought on by the two great football clubs but there is also a lot of other history behind the two city's.

Anyway my original point was that every Man Utd fan who posted in this thread is not from Manchester, I suppose my point was less clear than I could of made it and was obviously interpreted the wrong way because this is largely a international forum! You see it a lot though, most of Manchester supports Man City, the rest of the world supports Man Utd...

I heard he is already in talks with the Portuguese FA!

Probably not to replace Scolari, but he will still play some role.

FALSE!!

Good, I hated that arrogant prick.

Yeah, but one of the most ever best coaches, winning almost everything a coach can win.. And he is still young..

He brought 2 championship victory's on a club who didn't win over 50 years!!

Now why could he be arrogant?? :rolleyes:

Sky Sports News understands departed Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is to take up a position with the Portuguese FA.

Mourinho has left Stamford Bridge by mutual consent, with Chelsea confirming the decision in the early hours of Thursday morning.

There has already been speculation as to his next post, with the role of Portugal national team coach chalked up as the favourite.

According to a family friend, Mourinho has confirmed he is heading back to his homeland for a role with his country's football federation.

Mourinho will reportedly assume a job within the national setup, with the view to eventually becoming coach of the Portugal team.

Scolari ban

The source also claims that Mourinho told the Chelsea players at the club's training ground on Thursday morning that he would be working with the national side within the next 48 hours.

Luiz Felipe Scolari is currently coach of Portugal and reports have suggested he is wanted in the role until the 2010 World Cup finals.

However, Scolari's future in the post has recently come under scrutiny following his altercation with Ivica Dragutinovic during Portugal's 1-1 draw with Serbia.

Scolari has been given a four-match ban by Uefa, and been fined 12,000 euros (?8,400), for the assault on Dragutinovic.

Martyn that is not going to happen, since Scolari will remain, no newspaper Portuguese has talk about that, only speculation from English newspapers has always, since England has a lot of newspapers who live from sensationalism and not from real news..

I doubt Scolari will be replaced, he is a top, top manager.

I think Mourinho will work for the Portuguese FA though, if only in an advisory role for now. That was all I was saying!!

He was a great tactician, but I wont say he was great for the premiership. I would only call a manager "great for the EPL" if he actually manages to help a team play exciting, entertaining football instead of 1-0 wins. :whistle:

he was very quotable though. I like his and wenger's quotes.

Oh yes the classic 0-0 for 89 minutes then all of a sudden they would score.

I know a lot of people hated Jose but he bought a lot to the premiership and has a lot of stats behind him to back up the way he is. With his track record i guess you are allowed to be a little arrogant. but his methods and tactics worked a treat for the time that he was there

Shame that he is gone, he was a great manager to chelsea and i think that now he is gone it will be all downhill for chelsea, then you lot will see the real difference.

this is all coming from a guy who doesnt support a football team, more of a rugby guy myself. ;)

    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.

      I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
    • Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52

      Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52 by Razvan Serea Microsoft Edge is a super fast and secure web browser from Microsoft. It works on almost any device, including PCs, iPhones and Androids. It keeps you safe online, protects your privacy, and lets you browse the web quickly. You can even use it on all your devices and keep your browsing history and favorites synced up. Built on the same technology as Chrome, Microsoft Edge has additional built-in features like Startup boost and Sleeping tabs, which boost your browsing experience with world class performance and speed that are optimized to work best with Windows. Microsoft Edge security and privacy features such as Microsoft Defender SmartScreen, Password Monitor, InPrivate search, and Kids Mode help keep you and your loved ones protected and secure online. Microsoft Edge has features to keep both you and your family protected. Enable content filters and access activity reports with your Microsoft Family Safety account and experience a kid-friendly web with Kids Mode. The new Microsoft Edge is now compatible with your favorite extensions, so it’s easy to personalize your browsing experience. Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52 changelog: Migration to improved V2 architecture for Workspaces. Workspaces, introduced in Edge in 2022, allows users to create durable sets of tabs that can be saved and shared with others. In order to improve reliability and performance of this feature, the following changes are being made: Migrating data for saved Workspaces from OneDrive/SharePoint to Edge Sync service Removing the collaboration/share functionality of this feature For organizations who have disabled Sync through policy, the existing v1 Workspace data will still be migrated to the new architecture. New v2 Workspaces created after migration won't sync across devices and will remain local to each device. This update occurs on a progressive rollout beginning in Edge Stable v145 and will continue rolling out in Edge v149. For more information, see Getting started with Microsoft Edge Workspaces. Feature Updates Passkey Sync for Enterprise Users. Microsoft Edge is introducing support for passkey synchronization for enterprise users, enabling secure, passwordless authentication across devices. Passkeys created in Edge can now be synced seamlessly, improving sign-in experience while maintaining strong security standards. Note: This is a controlled feature rollout. If you don't see this change, check back as we continue the rollout. Enterprise WebView2 runtime downgrade via DowngradeVersion policy. Administrators can temporarily roll back specific applications to a previous WebView2 Evergreen Runtime version (N-1 or N-2) using the new DowngradeVersion policy in msedgewebview2.admx. The Downgrade Version policy allows enterprises to mitigate critical regressions by specifying per-application exe-to-version mappings. The Edge Updater installs the target version side-by-side, and the WebView2 Loader redirects targeted apps accordingly. Downgrades auto-expire with each new WebView2 release: apps pinned to N-1 remain on the same version (now becoming N-2) and will auto-update in the next release, while apps pinned to N-2 will revert to the current Evergreen version. The policy applies only to enterprise-managed devices (domain-joined or MDM-enrolled). For more information, see Microsoft Edge WebView2 Policy Documentation | Microsoft Learn. Collections retirement. Collections has been removed in this update. Users can no longer access or use the feature. To keep saved content, users can export it, or move all pages to Favorites before updating to Microsoft Edge Stable 149. For more information, see Organize your ideas with Collections in Microsoft Edge - Microsoft Support. Modern, unified, and updated Look and Feel. Microsoft Edge has updated the Look and Feel to give customers a unified experience across all of Microsoft AI surfaces including Copilot and Bing. This changes multiple elements of the UX such as spacing, corners, fonts, default colors, etc. Clarify choices surrounding third-party cookie settings. Language under Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Cookies are clarified to better describe the choices users have in managing third-party cookies. Custom primary password retirement. Users are no longer able to create a new custom primary password in Edge Settings edge://settings/autofill/passwords/settings. Any users who are still using a custom primary password will be automatically migrated to device authentication. Additionally, the PrimaryPasswordSetting policy will no longer support the WithCustomPrimaryPassword option. For more information, see Keep your saved passwords private in Microsoft Edge | Microsoft Support. Unifying Copilot Chat policy controls. The Microsoft365CopilotChatIconEnabled policy is the standard for configuring Copilot Chat. Previously, this behavior was controlled by blocking the Copilot extension, either explicitly or by using the * wildcard via the ExtensionSettings or ExtensionInstallBlockList policies. Extension and sidebar policies no longer affect the appearance or functionality of Copilot Chat. Copilot address bar suggestions were also tied to extension policy settings. Starting in Microsoft Edge version 149, admins can use the CopilotAddressBarSuggestionsEnabled policy to manage this behavior. Intune MAM Protected Downloads. The protected downloads feature for Intune MAM is now available for BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) devices, which aren't managed by a tenant. Policy Updates / New policies CopilotAddressBarSuggestionsEnabled - Enable Copilot address bar suggestions CpuPerformanceTierOverride - Override for the CPU performance tier DataUrlInWebWorkerOpaqueOriginEnabled - Enable opaque origins for data URLs in Web Workers DefaultLocalFontsSetting - Default Local Fonts permission setting ForceForegroundPriorityForUrls - Force foreground priority for specific URLs LocalFontsAllowedForUrls - Allow Local Fonts permission on these sites LocalFontsBlockedForUrls - Block Local Fonts permission on these sites Deprecated policies WalletDonationEnabled - Wallet Donation Enabled (deprecated) EdgeWalletEtreeEnabled - Edge Wallet E-Tree Enabled (deprecated) Additional policy changes ForceForegroundPriorityForUrls - ForceForegroundPriorityForOrigins is renamed to ForceForegroundPriorityForUrls OnSecurityEventEnterpriseConnector - Add macOS platform support ProtectedContentIdentifiersAllowed - Remove macOS platform support Download: Microsoft Edge (64-bit) | 193.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Microsoft Edge (32-bit) | 170.0 MB Download: Microsoft Edge (ARM64) | 188.0 MB View: Microsoft Edge Website | Release History Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
