From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

Posters of sacked former manager Jose Mourinho are still on sale at Stamford Bridge... at the discount price of £1.

The Portuguese was sacked on 17 December, just six months after leading the Blues to their first Premier League title in five years, with the club sitting just a point above the relegation zone.

Chelsea fans were rightly furious at the board's decision to sack the Special One but it seems the club are still happy to use Mourinho's image to put a bit of extra money into the club's coffers.

In fact, not only are posters still for sale, there are books, socks, t-shirts, mugs and more still for sale at the Chelsea megastore website.

During an interview on Chelsea TV explaining the decision to sack the 52-year-old, technical director Michael Emenalo even refused to use Jose Mourinho's name.

The picture, snapped by Bleacher Report journalist Garry Hayes, shows Mourinho mocked up in the famous Barack Obama 'Hope' from his 2008 Presidential campaign - sadly the price of the posters has been slashed. the posters are £1 and £2.25 online.

They'll be giving them away soon...

Mourinho's replacement, Guus Hiddink, is unbeaten in seven games since taking over, but he has only won two of his six Premier League games and needed a last-minute (offside) John Terry goal to draw at home to Everton on Saturday.

The Blues remain in 14th, four points above the relegation zone and 14 points away from fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur.
