No shock at the Arsenal score.Could see that happening And us to...but not playing to bad!Least they're running around and looking intrested.Lets hope it lasts and can pick it up 2nd half

Uh oh Lampards been dropped... Read the first line first and for a moment wondered why the hell we've put Hilaro in goal..not that he's realy bad just seemed a weird choice...then realised lol

Exactly!!! Daft really And no surprising how managers have said they wouldnt take the job..Brendan Rogers 'I wana forward my career not damage it...' sums up how we're looked at really at the moment

The way it should be though...manager should control who goes and who comes in.He's gotta play them end of the day and needs a bit of backing.Cant exactly picture Fergie being happy with the board to bring in players/get rid without him having a say

And that was the season where we had Scolari and started mega shite that was just a fluke for them The players lost it with him..Gerrards face when Torres got subbed when they needed him that time said it all.He just stood on the touchline making random gestures half the time that doubt many be able to understand.Won three trophies which not bad but 2 on pens!And he's out the job at the moment and hasnt exactly been in high demand due to being so amazing

I know could do with him!....hahaha I remember when we thought he scored at the Bridge against QPR..then went down as an OG

Haha didnt he say something when he left how he'd love a proper goobye but get crushed with the fans love or something random like that....would expect dramtic things.. The thought of rafa still worries be even more so! He didnt do a lot for Liverpool.They won the Cl yep but also finished what 9th?! And then sturggled season after season really. There is no point doing the ole 'we need a manager who can be long term' causes thats never gana happen way things are run

Its crazy who on that board thought 'hmm world class manager who can take us forward...Rafa!!!!' Surprised with that logic they didnt bring Grant back seeing as he's fucking up some other club..only had them for a game or something and already their lead been cut down

This is getting funnier and funnier...who is bringing up these names?!?!? And whats worse we'll probably end up with Sven,Rafa or Capello... Can see us getting to a stage of picking names out of a hat..

Still feel eeeek like the commentator at the last one said,B'Ham just kinda turned up for a good game and to play decent football under no pressure not expecting so much to get much out of it.... Hopfully we can just go for it!! And play well from the start not half an hour in or when we're a goal down

I hope he does well! And the players can get their act together and play for him!!!

Candiates are getting worse but end of the day we will end up scraping the barrel if we carry on sacking way we have

Whereas we're shit both home and away lol

I cant blame him for fielding young players.When the pressures on to get results you tend to go with the team who should be capeable of getting results...which in a normal world would've been the experinced.And seeing how some of them acted to being benched..doubt been impressed of being benched for someone younger and all....its all about really having the confidence to do that and clearly he didnt

Would hope so but probably not...

Nah they wont which is probably why we're considering the likes of Rafa/Capello....who want to come to a club where your expected to make changes yet not given any time to make them

The thought of Zola being treated like shite nahhhh!Doesnt deserve it..no one does but least of all him.To nice a guy

I'd welcome Jose defintly...but I just can see Roman swollowing his pride,admitting he made a mistake and having him back...that is if he even would wana come back... Wishful thinking...but can see it being Rafa...

Agree!! Needs the support as well having been kinda shoved into the postion I reckon he can do it long as the sodding players perform for him! And seriously hope they do

Yep! Cant see him having the confidence to change it

Wouldnt surprise me...both are shite but the board make stupid decisons...cant decide who is worse!!!

Congrats Francozola!

Everyone else,other fans,us,pundits,other managers can see the main problem is the players!! Shame the board still havent realised that yet!

Exactly there is no point whoever comes in trying build a decent side because they wont get the time....bench the old players who are under performing and thats seals your exit

Chelsea should not have sacked Andre Villas-Boas, says BBC pundit Robbie Savage, who believes the players and board are to blame for their malaise. Chelsea's decision came on the back of a run of just three Premier League wins in their last 12 games. The 34-year-old only took over as manager in June 2011 after Carlo Ancelotti was sacked in May. "I just feel sorry for Villas-Boas. The players and board should be culpable," BBC pundit Savage told Radio 5 live. "Villas-Boas should still be in charge. [Ex-Liverpool manager] Rafa Benitez looks an interesting prospect and he might get the best out of Fernando Torres. I don't think Villas-Boas has helped himself in recent times with some of the things he has been saying, but in his defence, if his brief was to build for the future and move on the old guard, that can't be done in eight months. Abramovich hasn't yet worked out how to build a successful football club, if you have unlimited wealth, you expect immediate dividends. "I'd go for someone like David Moyes, he has over-achieved at Everton and brought a bit of stability to the club." Villas-Boas' tenure was marked by a reported falling out with senior stars such as Frank Lampard. Former England manager Graham Taylor believed the dressing room had undermined the Portuguese's attempts to lead the club. Speaking to BBC Radio 5 live, Taylor said: "As a football manager, you have to be held responsible for results, as a player, you have to be held responsible for performances. "Looking at Chelsea, you have to say the players have won off the pitch. I don't think the players have had the commitment you would expect from any professional sportsmen, and that's difficult for the manager. "At the end of the day the objective is to win matches, but Villas-Boas has not been helped by his players." While Villas-Boas had been on Chelsea's coaching staff during Jose Mourinho's tenure, he came on the club's radar as a successor to Ancelotti after he won the Portuguese League and Cup double, plus the Europa League, last season with Porto. Former Chelsea player and assistant first team coach Ray Wilkins believed despite this success, the Premier League's increased competitiveness had come as a shock to Villas-Boas. "It's been extremely difficult for him, he's been hanging in there," he told Sky Sports News. "Our football is extremely different to Portugal. No disrespect to Porto, but it can be a breeze winning titles with them. It's not as hard. "The Premier League is an extremely hard place to be." Villas-Boas' exit means Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is now searching for his eighth manager in nine years at the helm. One of these former bosses, Avram Grant , led Chelsea to the Champions League final in 2008 when he replaced Jose Mourinho on a temporary basis. Speaking to BBC Radio 5 live, the current Partizan Belgrade manager believed Villas-Boas had fallen victim to the Russian billionaire's desire. He said: "His main ambition was to be the champion of Europe. It's not good enough for a team like Chelsea that they [were] only one time in the Champions League [final]. "He gave you all of the tools you needed to succeed and said do your job. He loves football very, very much and has spent a lot of money to achieve the best. "[Chelsea has] Unbelievable facilities; the best in the world or one of." Newcastle boss Alan Pardew said that he felt sorry for Villas-Boas, who had not had his task made easier by the attitude of some of his senior players. "I have a lot of sympathy for him because that is a really, really talented coach we have lost in this country," said the Magpies boss. "I know he is from Portugal, but he has had to take on a club there with a lot of senior pros and in the background, probably had a very, very difficult job. "When you are in a transition year like that - and I have been in it because I was at West Ham when I inherited a lot of senior pros who had just been relegated, and it was very, very difficult. "They made it difficult for me, and one or two of them have apologised since, and so they should." http://www.bbc.co.uk...otball/17250666
