Here are some possible designs: The most ignorant of their fans will go on about how this is a no-profit Foundation without mentioning that it's just another company owned by the family that owns Qatar.

Absolutely superb deal for them, it will probably help them stay on top for the next decade. For the rest of the world hopefully it'll reduce the amount of the self-loving Mes que un club bullshit. I'm sure they'll find a way to keep part of their Unisef deal to avoid a PR disaster.

CA: McEachran won't start.

Carlo also said he won't change our shape (=formation) Carlo spoke with Abramovich after the Marseille game, he confirmed the he has Roman's total support . Ferreira will play at RB :unsure:

Rafael van der Vaart will not be fit to return for Spurs against Chelsea on Sunday due to hamstring problem

There's no way a PL club would want him if he's as shit as Ancelotti's choices have suggested.

Don't you realize similar belittling arguments could be made about every single successful manager ? If Ancelotti was lucky to find a Chelsea team "built by Mourinho" what exactly was Guardiola who inherited a team with Xavi, Messi and co. ?

Personal insults? Oh please.. I merely admitted that my ignore list grew bigger

Point taken.I insist however that all things considered this is as bad as our on-pitch performances and results will get. Lampard has already missed almost half of the season. With Alex out for 4 weeks and knowing Terry's injury recond I think another CB mini-crisis will happen, then again even with Ferreira at CB our attack for the last few matches has been worse. Yesterday's infuriating line-up may still cloud my thoughts but I would consider us losing our CL spot as bad as sacking yet another manager.

If this isn't a full-blown crisis I wonder what has to happed for us to be in one ?

For what it's worth I think Sturridge and Malouda are our best attacking options if used right.

And you are a troll and shall be treated as one.

Doubt our Board or Roman actually wanted a "quiet" season, they took a naive gamble with the squad but combined with what looks like Ancelotti's inability to turn things around made the threat of losing our top 3 status (or even the CL spot for the cynics) more real than ever.

Hit the nail right on the head.But I can't see how he's trying to make a profit yet, he (and therefore our Board) wants us to run like a normal football club and keep the losses at minimum, this will only benefit Chelsea in the long run.

Overreacting too much? Didn't watch the game but I can hardly imagine Cech JT and Bran being worse than 6/10.

Harsh but we've definitely been below our last years standards since October kicked in. That of course rubbishes any connection between Wilkins' sacking and our bad form.

Can anyone bother constructing a logical argument about why one would want Roman Abramovic out ?

Hey at least we're STILL top of the lea.. oh snap! Nevermind...

If Ancelotti gets sacked within the next 3 weeks, who's willing to bet people will make up stories about Emenalo being behind this ?

I understand our players weren't really trying tonight? Not surprised as it was a dead rubber.

I'll skip this just like I skipped the Marseille game if the line-up is as unimaginative as those we've been witnessing since November.

Well that worked like a charm didn't it. An injury, yet another blow to our confidence, and an under-used 17year old allegedly being our best player. Good job Mr Ancelotti.

Hope you have a theory about him not picking our starting XI

I take it confidence isn't exactly flowing ?

Good luck to our "boys". I'm off.
