Stottie Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 It's nice to have clubs in the league that are clearly run worse than us. I'm not sure you could always have said that in the past. Big payday for AVB and he's failed in the face of a dodgy owner and an aging entrenched dressing room with increasingly faltering players like Cech and Terry. If Mourinho is coming back next season, the circus should be fun, even if some of the football won't be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Absolutely daft decision like. You can't apportion half measures in terms of rebuilding a team that was never built to last, whilst still expecting success. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lxsln Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Wonder who they will go for.. Mourinho, Pep or worldbeater Martin O'Neill.. MON must cost around £100m to buy with all the trophies he won.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segun Oluwaniyi Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 To be honest, I don't understand the sympathy for this manager at all. He's been given cheques to write. His mission is to reconfigure the squad while still leaving them viable as a Champions League side and outside title contender. He has failed miserably. It is somewhat early and harsh, but it didn't look like he was improving anything. Results had actually gotten significantly worse. They had a great victory in December against Man City, and they've won three matches out of thirteen since. The squad is not this bad, and that form would have any manager in he league looking over their back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawK Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 The squads' age is close to the Milan's oldies of recent, but without the individual technical ability to compensate for the decreasing athleticism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 13m to get him or something? sacked 3/4 the way through his first season, there must be something in money that when accumulated in certain quantities sends you batshit insane Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stephen927 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Player power? Was in not result power. Dumping AVB is nowhere near as bad as dumping Ancelotti. Chelsea started off the season well, it was only until mid December the wheels started to fall off. There is a core of players at Chelsea that any manager in the world will find incredibly difficult to phase out of the club due to their stature.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Don't understand the thinking at all, Chelsea need that core of old players out the door and replaced, no matter who the manager is. What's the difference if they finish 4th instead of 2nd or 3rd while they do it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stozo Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 They could do a lot worse than bringing their old reserve team manager, Brendan Rodgers, back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sifu Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Sven's at it: Eriksson wants Chelsea job Ex-England boss does not think it is an impossible task at Stamford Bridge Last Updated: March 5, 2012 5:32pm Sven Goran Eriksson has told Sky Sports News he would take the Chelsea manager's job if he was offered the role. The Stamford Bridge club on Sunday parted company with Andre Villas-Boas after just more than eight months and his former assistant, Roberto Di Matteo, has been placed in charge on an interim basis. Former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho and ex-Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez are among the favourites to take the job on a permanent basis in the summer, but Eriksson, who has been out of work since leaving Leicester last October, is also interested. The former England manager was famously linked to Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich during his time in charge of the Three Lions and he continues to admire the Premier League giants. Eriksson insists there has yet to be a new approach, but asked by Sky Sports News if he would be interested in Chelsea, the Swede said: "I would take it, of course. Disaster "They already have a manager for the rest of the season (Di Matteo) and I guess that is a natural solution, because he has been in the club now for the whole season." Villas-Boas was sacked after just one victory in seven matches in all competitions and a failure to win the respect of the dressing room after reports of bust-ups with Frank Lampard, Ashley Cole and Fernando Torres. Chelsea's next permanent manager will therefore be their eighth manager in nine years and it has been suggested the Stamford Bridge hot-seat is an impossible job. However, Eriksson said: "Nothing is impossible. But this time I think it is understandable that something (Villas-Boas' sacking) happened. "I don't defend it. But I can understand it, because with Chelsea if they don't play in Europe next season, that would be a disaster for them." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
