I fact there is no big club in the world that give one tiny fuck about what the fans think. Football is about winning, at the end of the day, when you watch your club playing, you are thinking about winning. The board and the owner should do what they think is right to make the club more succesful, RDM wasnt because of his poor management skills. I used to believe he was going to do a good job, but that was more a wishfull thinking than anything. I fact RDM is far way from being a good manager, some people might say "he gave Chelsea a UCL", well, only I fool would credit last season glory to the italian under those circunstances. I bet you dont believe Grant was the one responsible for the first UCL final in Chelsea's history; RDM was sacked by West Bronwich because the team were in the relegation zone, after he was fired they end up in a 11th position. s said before, RDM was Chelsea's Kenny Dalglish, if you know what I mean. I'm sure the results and the football will improve under Benitez, specially the pathetic defence we had under RDM this season, actually I think it will be interesing to see the fans reactions if Benitez win a double (FA Cup + PL), and Roman decide that he has to leave.

Even in august he wasnt playing that well. He gave some assists, and got some penalties, but in most part of the game he was way too timid, actually I think he is playing the same football he played since he joined us.

Was Didier Drogba sacked?

RDM is a very nice guy, but he still is a poor manager. Avran Grant almost gave Chelsea a UCL, but people dont miss him. The italian was the right man, at the right time. RDM was our own Kenny Dalglish, not our Pep Guardiola.

Sometimes the mistakes made by a player are result of poor management skills. Just saying.

The topic is about the same bullshit about Benitez.

I really dont know why this topic is still opened.

People were asking for a clean sheet, today you had a clean shit. That was a very good result. we started the game with Hazard and Oscar as starting XI. I have to remember that both are "players for the fufure". Not conceding silly goals is a good thing, after all.

Source? You should stop making rumours look like facts.

Guardiola can become brazilian nt head coach. It means Benitez will be here untill 2014. lol

It happens everywhere. In Brazil, in England in USA and in other sports league like NBA. There are people that go to stadium to watch the game, just to enjoy the experience. Many people that travel to USA go to a NBA game as tourists. In Brazil there are people that go to stadium, they support the club, but they really dont care if the manager is John or Paul, and about this woman, come on Kez, its a very good thing to see ladies enjoying football, but asking for them to know Norwich is a little too much.

So sacking RDM means no respect for fans? I thought giving the fans an UCL, and players like Didier is more than respect.

The World Cup was tne reason RDM got the axe right now. I really understand that. Chelsea just won the UCL, its a huge opportunity to improve the brand around the world and to estabilish itself as one of greatest clubs in the world. Many people thought Chelsea did not deserve to win UCL last season. Then against Atlético, we were humiliated. Now, the first european champion to not advance to knockout stage in UCL. Imagine now the club losing the World Cup in Japan next month.

I have to say there is a bad atmosphere. Sacking RDM, and now the racism thing. Its just depressing, months after winning the PL, perhaps the worst week in recent years. Thats chaos. Its really sad when you open the sites and Chelsea is everywhere, but its not about football, its about how the owner is mad, about how the Chelsea almost destroyed a poor referees life. I dont like this, I hope we just win against City and then we stop talking about this kind of thing. I really feel sorry for RDM, but imo he is the reason we have so many problems right now. RDM never had the same power the previous managers had, the board never saw him as the right man. He was given the job because no other top manager would aceept this job when the world knows the club is waiting for Guardiola. Even AVB had more power, lets remember that he told Alex and Anelka to leave during the season. We were left with a small squad, full of weakness, this board is doing a really stupid job when they keep buying players like De Bruyne, Lukaku, Marin and Aziplicueta. A club like Chelsea needs a manager like Guardiola, Mourinho, Hiddink...or Benitez. RDM was not ready yet. Working in a club like Chelsea means the manager has to build a relationship with the people that have the power, you need to be a politician. There is a lot more in RDM sacking than just a couple of bad results.

Thats a good thing.

right.

You must be crazy, I barely post in Oscar topic, and I dont rememer one single time when I defended Hazard.

Everytime someone say one bad word about Hazard, there are reactions from the hysteric belgians fans. Willian and Reus are playing a lot better, yes, but why he have to support Shaktar or Dortmund? He has to say Hazard is better than anyone to support Chelsea? This topic really look like a Hazard fan page.

You also should shut the fuck up, and learn how to write our nationality, its not BraSilian, its BraZilians. I'm far from delusional, I've been here for quite a long time, I'm criticize everyone I believe is not playing well or on pair with the hype. Right now I think that Hazard is not playing that well, and while I like belgian fans I get the feeling many of them joined the forum to support Hazard. When started to follow Chelsea, there was no brazilian playing here, and by the time I joined this forum there were only Alex and Beletti. You should respect a TC Legend, dude.

Giving RDM a full time job was a mistake in my opnion. Though I believe he had a huge part in UCL glory, he did that in a very special situation, so I dont get the argument: "he gave Chelsea a UCL months ago". Yes, it was rash, but just look at the topic about RDM, most people said it was too early to say he was the right man for Chelsea. It means a lot of people had misgivings about him. The board and the owner had too, thats why he got the axe.

This topic got boring after 2 or 3 posts.

Are you supposed to be happy because of a cell phone?

We spent 18m on Lukaku, we spent much more on Wright Philips, we bought an injury-prone Marin. Its easy to forget Benitez got players like Mascherano, Alonso, Agger and Torres. Not saying he is a superb manager, but at least he is decent. Its just ridiculous right now this kind of thing, I just hope we have a nice end of season.

Get the feeling this was the reason why RDM was sacked for Benitez.
