Starman60

He didn't........And I know you know that .........And he didn't want to lose Zola either. He was unaware that when he was buying the club that Zola had already committed to signing for Cagliari. He then tried to buy him back AT ANY COST. But Zola was a man of his word and wouldn't change his mind. Roman was not a happy camper!!!!!! (The Zola bit is for the attention of curlyhairlikeluiz)

Zolayes banned !!!!!! I have seen others on here actively inciting people and they haven't been banned. A true "Talk Chelsea" legend gone A bit over the top guys I feel

As Zolayes says. "give Remy a start ,, and give Cesc 60 mins and RLC 30" PS Sorry for the cock-up in my last post

I think Fabregas should be given another chance. Some people were blinded by unfounded comments regarding him. (For which Pat Nevin has since apologised for!!) and granted, he was playing shite. But, he has it in him, and I feel he has something to prove to the new gaffer.

Let's see who wears the trousers in that house

Please do.....You have provoked a lot of debate with this one....... which I agree with by the way Very good article Nice one :blue scalf:

Nice piece........And all very true

It also helped that Sunderland were pure shite !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good honest and factual post. And true.....Nice one.

Great post Barbara.......Essentially Jose's time span at any club should be, and has been with us, three years and no more.

Yea I agree.....But Iazzard and Cecl don't play for us, unless Gus signs them in the January window

Well I'm wondering why they turned on him? Did he shackle them too much with defensive duties and stifle their natural ability? Was he too much of a disiplinarian? Did they feel the tactics were all wrong for the team? Or perhaps all three!! For me,when players are not happy, it is impossible for them to give 100%. But then, what the f@ck do I know :blue scalf:

Yes I agree with you.....But perhaps they were allowed to play with a little more freedom, with less defensive duties to carry out? I did see a lot more Chelsea players getting into the box and shooting more frequently too, although our defensive frailities are still there for all to see also At the end of the day it'd not about Jose or the players. It's about Chelsea..It's the club we all support. :blue scalf:

And leaving the club in January or May 2016

No need for that mate......Way over the top.......Would you rather the players went out and lost, just to prove that Jose wasn't one of the reasons we are in our present situation?

Good performance, great result, and nice to see us finally get more than one player into the box when we are attacking. Lets hope we can build on this.

Totally agree with you Cosmin. But can I add that it's now time to draw a line under this farce. Jose'e gone, A new Chelsea dawn is about to begin, so lets all get behind the team, and can we all stop please turning this into a witchunt. Why do we feel the need to throw someone else under the bus? As you said mate, the manager had lost the dressing room and he, untimately had to shoulder the blame.

Mr Guardiola (as I agree with Rhino Skin for once ) would be nice, but that is only a short term fix for 3 years...Mr Simieone for me........He'd boot out the primadonna's and put some steel into our side, plus play some good football while introducing our youth.

Team selection should be very interesting this weekend........I wont even attempt to pick it

I was one who has been calling for Jose to go. But yes. it's a bit sad and the end of an era. I just want to see us gain some stability, start playing decent football, and see some of our splendid youth getting into the team instead of some of our present primadonna's. I now await the arrival of our new manager......and I really hope it's not that oaf Ramos, as has been mooted by some members of the media. As I started supporting the blues this will be the 26th managerial change..........God I feel old.... :blue scalf:

Is there anyone out there that still thinks that he is going to bring Chelsea out of this and lead us on to greater things?

ZOLA on Sky Sports 1.........AAAHHH the good times....

Even that's debatable

6) I would still give Jose one more year, I still believe in him and he can turn it around next year. !!!!!!!! In the words of John Mc Enroe..... "YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS"!!!!!!! I will be really pissed if he is still our manager in the morning
