Chelsea technical director Michael Emenalo has revealed that the club are sticking by Jose Mourinho, and has explained why.
Mourinho has come under immense fire for the Blues’ poor season so far, and it was feared his second reign at Stamford Bridge was about to come to an end.
However Emenalo is adamant that the Portuguese is the right man for the job.
Ahead of Chelsea’s weekend fixture with Norwich City, he said:  “One of the aspects of the modern game is that there is a real impatience now.
“We are in an age of fast technology, everybody can voice an opinion, and people have a fast-food mentality and want fast-food results.
“Unfortunately it doesn’t always work like that and you have to look at what is happening to English football in particular.
“The TV money means a lot of clubs now have the resources to buy so you are not always going to be able to buy yourself out of trouble.
“I am always impressed by the mentality of the players we have because there is a recognition that they are the same team that clearly were the best team in England last season.
“They understand there must be a reason why things are not going well and I try to articulate that by saying it is the influence of negative momentum, where you start badly and you keep having problems.
“But we believe we are starting to stabilise now and once we start going upwards there will be a positive momentum.
“That’s the way to look at it – we started badly, we suffered a negative momentum and given the level of quality we have in the squad and given the reputation of our manager and the club.
“Everybody thought these results would not last and it is a shock to the system that they have lasted more than we anticipated, but we are working very hard to get back to where we were.
“I think we are good enough and we are confident we can.”
