Summary and Comparison Skills Possible Sentence Starters

Both sources use the same headline to discuss Chelsea football club’s manager Jose Mourinho’s situation as to whether or not he will get sacked. The telegraph talks about how Jose Mourinho is to be given his final chance by Chelsea football club owner Roman Abramovich to improve the clubs current situation and hopeful move out of the relegation zone and to the top half of the table.The article also talks about how the manager is required to improve Chelsea poor run of six games lost. On the other hand the Guardian source discusses the fact that Jose Mourinho is 100% backed by the board but needs to improve, this articles points differ from the other article as Jose Mourinho is backed by the board but on the Guardian he is only given one more chance.

In an other article, due to a 1 game stadium ban Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is banned to travel with the 1st team and to be in the same stadium during the game against Stoke. After the match Chelsea lost 1-0 against Stoke city where once again many Chelsea fans were angered with Jose Mourinho and his teams poor run of form. This is similar in the telegraph where it also talks about how Jose Mourinho has had enough and it is either time for him to leave the club or get the sacking.

Clearly through the way the article has been structured in the Guardian you can tell that the editor doesn’t like Jose Mourinho and doesn’t like Chelsea football club. The editor is tying to make the reader informed about the current situation in the BPL.
