Cronky Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I'm not convinced about this at all. Abramovich seems to be suffering from Shepherditis. He's getting more and more involved, and the decisions are getting worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 the age thing is bollocks, if he's top class he'll command respect from any player Exactly. At 19 years old he had an argument with Bobby Robson and the end result was Bobby giving him a job, Jose Mourinho classed him as his 'eyes and ears' when referring to match and opponent preparation. If he can command respect of people like that then footballers will understand he has something from the off. With him being there before he'd have interacted with senior players preparing them for opponents, his knowledge won't be in question by them, he's already been telling them what to do for years. IIRC there was a dossier floating about on us when Jose was manager, it was probably AVB who prepared it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Should have been Villa manager TBH. Why when he could have either just stayed at Porto or can get the Chelsea gig? Think he was referring to his name.... Ah right, whooosh!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's getting more and more involved, and the decisions are getting worse. That's nothing new He could've still had Jose in charge if he hadn't spunked 30 million on a 31 year old Shevchenko and hired Avram Grant (lulz) to be DOF behind his back.

Mikky Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I never realised he had worked in England or with Sir Bob until reading the papers/internet etc in the last few days: he is very similar to Mourinho in his preparation and man management: seems a lot less volatile in press conferences: speaks perfect English Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikky Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Chelsea have paid Porto £13.3 million in compensation for Villas-Boas! f***ing embarrassing. Disgraceful in fact. In the context Chelsea have a rich owner etc ala Man City or that teams should never pay that much for a manager/coach? I think its a sign of the times: many clubs in Europe will now insert these types of clauses (if they haven't done so already) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 On Chelsea's part. It's becoming a joke how the likes of them and City will just throw any amount of money at anyone to bribe them into working (or playing) for them. I mean the money around the Premier League has been a farce for ages but this is just getting daft now. The guy's managed Porto for one season and is barely older than Frank Lampard or Didier Drogba.

Agree: money has ruined the game (I would say the same if someone rich took us over): you almost feel cheated when the likes of Chelsea and City enjoy success, as essentially its been bought: The really silly thing is that if it doesnt work in 1 season they'll just get rid of him and pay him off like £10m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Sick of the constant Mourinho comparisons/references. Doing my head in. ---- On another note... Ferreira ... €20m Carvalho ... €30m Vilas Boas ... €15m + Mourinho and associated backroom staff. Porto must love it when Chelsea ring up. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jLlqDrcSYeQ/TP9z0R2p5hI/AAAAAAAACoI/3z7ycl-0O-w/s400/3%2BPorto%2BProfit.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Snrub Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 They'll throw money at Porto for Falcao and/or Hulk aswell which won't get them any closer to winning the CL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Ash- Chelsea are a side in need of a massive overhaul if they are to win the CL. The crux of their side has all peaked and last year looked very jaded for the most part. Huge ask, asking this bloke to come in and succeed straight away and as soon as he hits a rough patch, Abromovich has showed be isnt shy pulling the trigger. He'll last longer than Scolari, but I can't envisage him being a success straight away which is basically what Roman demands. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
