Mourinho’s Sack Letter Ready?
Boss Jose Mourinho says he “cannot promise” that Chelsea will qualify for the Champions League next season.
The defending Premier League champions sit 15th in the table after winning three league games this season.
Reports have suggested the 52-year-old could lose his job if the Blues are beaten by Liverpool today.
But Mourinho refused to comment on whether he has received reassurances from Chelsea’s board and owner Roman Abramovich about his future.
Asked if he had been given a guarantee, Mourinho replied: “I don’t have to tell you.”
In August, Mourinho signed a four-year contract extension until June 2019, but Chelsea have suffered the worst title defence since the Premier League began and have lost half of their 10 league games this season.
Abramovich has previously axed managers when Chelsea’s place in the Premier League’s top four and qualification for the Champions League the following season had been in doubt.
But Mourinho pointed to the failure of Manchester United and Liverpool to qualify for the Champions League in recent seasons.
The Portuguese added: “Chelsea is a big club. It’s the club that I choose to come to. It’s a club I live in a very specific way every day.
“Liverpool is a big club, Manchester United is a super big club. Last season Liverpool win nothing and didn’t qualify for the Champions League.
“Two years ago Man United didn’t qualify for the Champions League – not even Europa League – and won nothing.
“They are still a monster club, but that’s football.”
Mourinho also declined to comment on two disciplinary matters hanging over him.
The former Real Madrid and Inter Milan boss had until Thursday evening to respond to a misconduct charge relating to his half-time dismissal by referee Jonathan Moss at West Ham.
Meet the little girl born with her heart outside her chest 😮😮😮
Virsaviya Borun, a native of Russia who moved to South Florida with her mother, suffered from a rare condition – called Pantalogy of Cantrell- that caused her heart and intestines to form outside of her body. Her heart is protected only by a thin layer of skin.
“When I was pregnant, the doctor said she will not survive, that she is going to die,” Dari Borun, the girl’s mother, said.
The remarkable girl defied the odds set against her and lives, for the most part, like any other girl.
“I like to draw Jesus, ponies and angels,” Virsaviya said. “I don’t go to the school and I don’t go to the ballet but I want to do it at home.”
Borun said she found a surgeon in Boston able to treat her daughter, but the cost prevents her from pursuing it.
“It’s gonna be expensive for sure and I tried to work with social worker and she said we don’t have opportunity to apply for insurance,” she said.
An NBC 6 story on Borun and her inspiring little girl was shared millions of times following its intial airing, prompting many throughout their community to reach out and help.
An anonymous donor even reached out to the station and offered to cover the remainder of Virsaviya’s fundraising goal.
“I don’t have a family here. It’s just me and Virsaviya, but now I feel like I have a family because a lot of people just caring about us. They love us. They want to help,” Borun said.
Though funds are being raised to help the girl receive treatment, she is currently unable to undergo surgery.
“She can’t get it because of her high blood pressure and pulmonary arteries. So if it goes down, if she will feel better, they’re going to check her in two years,” Borun explained.
At the moment, the mother is concerned with covering basic treatment as well as living expenses for herself and her daughter.
Despite the challenges, Virsaviya said it’s the heart that keeps her and her mother going.
“My mom always told me that she loves my heart and I really like it,” she said.

John Fashanu reveals how he paid his late brother £75k to stop him from coming out as gay
Ex-England footballer, John Fashanu has revealed the extents he went to prevent his elder brother, Justin Fashanu from coming out as gay. He said he paid him £75K to keep quiet about it.
The former Wimbledon striker made the shock admission a week after it emerged two top footballers – including an England star – plan to come out. In his first in-depth interview about brother Justin since his tragic suicide in 1998, he said:
“I begged him, I threatened him, I did everything I could possibly do to try and stop him coming out. I gave him the money because I didn’t want the embarrassment for me or my family. Had he come out now, it would be a different ball game. There wouldn’t be an issue, but there was then. Things are different now. Now he’d be hailed a hero.”
Justin Fashanu shot himself into the limelight with a stunning goal against Liverpool in 1980, Nottingham Forest subsequently shelled out a record £1million for him but he failed to hit the heights expected.
In a newspaper interview in 1990, he claimed to have had an affair with a married Tory MP he met in a gay bar. John, 53, said:
“I’ll never forget when Justin first told me. He called me in the evening time and said to me: ‘I’m gay’. Then he said to me: ‘I’m planning to go to a newspaper’. I said to him: ‘Oh heavens forbid... oh my God. We don’t need that. You’re mad’. He promised when I gave him the money he would not go out and say that. Two days later... bang... headlines in a newspaper. I looked like a sucker. For me and my family it was like Hiroshima or Nagasaki on our lives. It knocked us dead, it was a total shock.
“People might not like it, but I was trying to protect my family. You’ve got to remember the public’s perception of homosexuality at that time was that it was an abomination . It was taboo. Street boys were beating up gays in nightclubs. I give him credit for having the courage to come out and say it. But it caused a lot of confusion and animosity towards him, me, and my family.
“During matches, 30, 40, sometimes 45,000 supporters sang at me: ‘You’re big... you’re black... your a*** is up for grabs... Fashanu... Fashanu’. As a result of him saying what he said, my mother died because of the stress. She actually died a year later on the day of his birthday.
"She was already old, very fragile and suffering cancer. Then to be told her second eldest son was a homosexual was too much.”
John condemned Justin, then at Leyton Orient, soon after he came out and infamously said he would “not want to play or even get changed” in the same dressing room.
But last week John said:
“I’ve never spoken about these things before because I was stamped a homophobe. But things have changed and I make it very clear: I was wrong. It was ignorance on my behalf. I didn’t understand him. I was trying to protect my family and I was worried about the effect on my career. In the process I lost my brother and I am very sad about that.
“He committed suicide because he was so distraught the world would not accept a black man who was homosexual. I couldn’t understand it and I couldn’t accept it and so whatever relationship we had before was killed .
“Previous to that, we had been very close, but it just shattered everything. I didn’t speak to him again. There’s a lot of sadness and regrets.”
Two premier league stars including an England international are about to come out as gay and Fashanu says :
“If these young men feel it is the right time to come out and announce they are homosexual, please don’t anybody victimise them. Please be careful with words, don’t let it lead to the destruction of two men in their prime. I didn’t have that wisdom 20 years ago and it led to the destruction of my late brother Justin.
“We must accept them. I beg everybody not to make the same mistakes I made. Give them as much understanding as possible.”
John is a practising christian and he believes his brother was not actually gay, he credits his TV presenter daughter, Amal, 27 for helping him change his attitude.
“My daughter Amal is a very strong activist for gay rights,” said John, who now lives in Nigeria, where homosexuality is still illegal. She has helped me a lot to understand a lot more about another way of life, which homosexuality is. I love her and I am very proud of the way she speaks about her uncle.”
Cross River Govt suspend Perm. Secs. over suspension of morning devotion in schools
The Cross River Government has suspended indefinitely, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education, Anne Odey, for “flouting civil service rules”, amid a controversy over ban of morning and afternoon prayer sessions in schools.
Jude Ngaji, the State Security Adviser to Governor Ben Ayade, disclosed this on Friday in Calabar while speaking to journalists.
Mrs. Odey in a statement had directed all private and public primary and secondary schools in the state to stop morning and afternoon devotion forthwith.
According to her, the directives came from the Commissioner of Police, Henry Fadairo, in view of the security challenges facing the nation.
On Wednesday, the state Chairman of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) Archbishop Joseph Ukpo, in a statement, called on the state government to immediately withdraw such directive.
The CAN leader said that such directive negated freedom of worship.
“This directive to suspend morning devotion will negatively affect the moral upbringing of our children who are the future leaders of this country,’’ the statement stated.
Mr. Ngaji said the governor was not aware of such directive, neither did the permanent secretary pass such information through the governor or through his office for approval.
“The governor has directed that the permanent secretary be suspended indefinitely while the ban on suspension of devotion has been lifted immediately.
“It is true that police got intelligence information that Boko Haram is planning to bomb schools during morning devotion and therefore directed authorities in the ministry of education to act fast.
“But the permanent secretary did not bother to refer to the governor or call for stakeholders’ meeting to that effect.
“So, the governor feels pained that the permanent secretary got such sensitive information without seeking for his advice and went ahead to issue directive suspending morning devotions in schools,” he said.
According to him, it would be contradictory to say that the governor who not only believes in God, but a strong catholic, would turn around to do otherwise.
He appealed to religious leaders to discountenance such instructions as the state government was committed to inculcating good moral lessons in pupils and students in schools.
Reacting, John Eluu, the state police public relations officer, said that the commissioner had approved a “10 minute” time duration for morning and afternoon devotions.
“The commissioner of police told us during our briefing today that he has approved 10 minutes each for morning and afternoon devotion in both public and private schools in the state,” he said.

Russian airliner with 224 aboard crashes in Egypt’s Sinai, all killed: So sad!!! :'(:'(:'(
A Russian airliner carrying 224 passengers crashed into a mountainous area of Egypt’s Sinai peninsula on Saturday shortly after losing radar contact near cruising altitude, killing all aboard.
The Airbus A321, operated by Russian airline Kogalymavia under the brand name Metrojet, was flying from the Sinai Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh to St Petersburg in Russia when it went down in central Sinai soon after daybreak, the aviation ministry said.
A north Sinai security source said initial examination suggested the crash could have been caused by a technical fault; but it was too early to draw any firm conclusions. The plane, he said, had landed in a “vertical fashion”, contributing to the scale of devastation and burning.
“I now see a tragic scene,” an Egyptian security officer at the site told Reuters by telephone. “A lot of dead on the ground and many who died whilst strapped to their seats.
“The plane split into two, a small part on the tail end that burned and a larger part that crashed into a rockface. We have extracted at least 100 bodies and the rest are still inside,” the officer, who requested anonymity, said.
A militant group affiliated to Islamic State in Egypt, Sinai Province, said in a statement carried by the Aamaq website, which acts as a semi-official news agency for Islamic State, that it had brought down the plane “in response to Russian airstrikes that killed hundreds of Muslims on Syrian land”.
Russia’s Transport Minister told Interfax news agency said the Islamic State claim “can’t be considered accurate”.
Russia, an ally of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, launched air raids against opposition groups in Syria including Islamic State on Sept. 30. Security sources said there was no indication the Airbus had been shot down or blown up.
Sinai is the scene of an insurgency by militants close to Islamic State, who have killed hundreds of Egyptian soldiers and police and have also attacked Western targets in recent months.
Islamic State websites have in the past claimed responsibility for actions that have not been conclusively attributed to them.
