WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 STATEMENT ON ROBERTO DI MATTEO Posted on: Wed 21 Nov 2012 Chelsea Football Club has parted company this morning with Manager Roberto Di Matteo. The team's recent performances and results have not been good enough and the owner and the Board felt that a change was necessary now to keep the club moving in the right direction as we head into a vitally important part of the season. The club faces a difficult task ahead in qualifying for the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League as well as maintaining a strong challenge for the top of the Premier League while competing in three other cup competitions. Our aim is to remain as competitive as possible and challenge strongly on all fronts. The owner and the Board would like to thank Roberto for all he has done for the club since taking over in March. Roberto helped guide us to an historic Champions League victory and a seventh FA Cup. We will never forget the huge contribution he has made to this club's history and he will always be welcome at Stamford Bridge. The club will be making an announcement shortly regarding a new first team manager. http://www.chelseafc.com/news-article/article/2986865/title/statement-on-roberto-di-matteo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 They'll never learn, not that he was ever the right man for the job but he deserved a little more time at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Christ. Detestable club, like. Hated them from the second they sacked Carlo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I'm not quite sure why but I've always disliked Bobby M. Benitez would do a good job there. He's a smarmy looking cunt. Plus my hate for him increased in our Championship season, especially after the Cup game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crumpy Gunt Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Even though they won the CL last season the semi and final where turgid stuff to watch as Chelsea just strangled the play out of the opposition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Felt like Chelsea never wanted to keep RDM on despite his achievements last year. He's an arrogant fuck though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robster Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 He's a smarmy looking cunt. Plus my hate for him increased in our Championship season, especially after the Cup game.

Nobody Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Despite winning the CL, they shouldn't have kept him on. Like I said yesterday, what the hell would be the point in Benitez on a short term contract? If they can't get Guardiola in (who would work wonders with the players they've got), they should have just kept Di Matteo and waited until Pep was ready.

Guest firetotheworks Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I absolutely hate Di Matteo and his stupid lips/eyes combo, but Chelsea are fucking ridiculous like. What a thoroughly detestable club. It must be pretty hard being a decent fan of that club at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Guillem Balague @GuillemBalague Pep has told Roman he will continue his sabbatical and Rafa Benítez has not been approached. Would Avram Grant be a solution for now? Balague is good mates with Benitez isn't he? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuyP Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 it would be surprised if Pep hasnt just said "yeah ill take the job", and Chelsea have just been waiting all this time for him to be available...those quotes do support otherwise but that was just my gut feeling Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
