Just without the three around Mourinho.

I always liked AVB, but he was a shit tactician and too rigid to adapt. He should have played boring, boring old Chelsea this season and then played his football the season after. He dug his grave now he rests in it. He should look at Antonio Conte's tactical flexibility and Massimiliano Allegri's handling of older stars if he wants to manage another big club. Because god knows he will need it at Inter.

While Henrique makes some harsh points and I hate to agree, most of them are true. We need someone who understands England and the English Media. AVB was P/R nightmare.

I actually think by the end of it AVB would have wanted out too. Perhaps it was more mutual then we are told.

Chelsea: Mata, David Luiz, John Terry Carvalho, Shevchenko (AC Milan), Alexandre Pato, Kaka, Ibrahimovic, Xavi, Messi, Iniesta, Pedro, Higuian, Aguero, Lahm, Muller, Lloris, Benzema, Zanetti, Pazzini, Millito, Ballack. I could go on.

He will be welcome at many other clubs. He should coach a team in Italy for a few years that isn't Inter. I could feel he was going to be great next season.

Is this news or is this rubbish? http://www.dailystar.co.uk/football/view/238923/Fernando-Torres-bust-up/

Di Matteo should just play himself and only himself against Birmingham in the FA Cup. He will show these wankers how it is done in the FA Cup.

I have never been more anxious about the club than now. Carlo's sacking wasn't as bad as this, even though I prefered him as a manager at least he was sacked on the last day of the season. Anyway Carlo played too 'Italian' and AVB too 'Spanish', if you know what I mean. I think we need someone who understands England. And whoever is the next manager needs an unbreakable clause that states that he can not be fired till he has been in controll for two seasons. I'd rather win ugly than lose beautifully.

Well, at least I can get my Football fix watching well run clubs like AC Milan, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Olympique Lyon and Barcelona.

I remember hearing about this young Portuguese man who did really well at his club in Portugal. Top bloke, sign him up Roman.

Only if he can stay fit.

All supporters all over the world are like that. Hence the reason idiots sing "You will get sacked in the morning" to AVB. I don't think so. Carlo Ancelotti is very fond of Pato and was a somewhat of a father figure for him when he joined AC Milan. PSG will buy him like it is nothing.

Ibracadabra! Now that is a Striker.

These are the same AC Milans supporters that were wanking over Pato saying he was going to be better than Messi. He played well last year under Allegri, so he is just having a bad season. If continues to underperform next season then sell him as there is nothing to be gained by pulling the trigger early.

No, but he should be better. He probably will never be now, but he should have been if he wasn't injured half a season every season. They are both very different players too, I think that Aguero is the perfect player for the Secondary Striker position like Baggio (Italian), Del Piero (Italian) and Totti (Italian) while Pato is a pure Striker like Ronaldo (El Fenomeno), Fernando Torres (Pre-2010 World Cup) and Ibrahimovic (Swedish Arsehole/Genius).

Unlike BLionheart, you can call me overly optimistic. If AVB keeps his job [he will] and Chelsea finishes outside the top 4 [we will] an exodus will occur exspelling the underperformers [whoever they are]. Some people would like the Higuians, the Hazards and the Hulks of the world to be signed to the club for astronomical fees, but I would like AVB to scout around and find players [unknown or famous is up to him] that add to the teams overall play and not just bring statistics to the club. And when I say statistics I mean players like Cavani. On paper [Wikipedia] they can look fantastic [56 Goals in 78 appearances of Edison Cavani] but given our system of play, how can statistics justify a signing? Players like Cavani need constant feeding of the ball or in other words to be the vangaurd of the attack. At Napoli a very quick counter-attack system is used with every player looking to support Cavani or failing that they will look for Lavezzi or Hamsik who either attempt to score or continue the process of looking for Cavani. So what I'm trying to say is: we need players that fit our 4-3-3 philosophy of possessive and attacking football not players that make Torres, Lampard or Terry look good. I'm not saying players like Cavani won't fit but we must be cautious around players who exceed is very different environments. The amazing rebuild is more likely to be extreme if we fail our attempt for 4th place.

Doubtful, he has stated that the stress of managing Barca is too much for him. Chelsea would only be more stressful, new country, new language etc.

I think I would vomit at the sight of Robben in a Tottenham shirt.

AC Milan are playing very attractive Football this year. Allegri's quality is extrememly evident with Robinho. Robinho is playing like everyone wanted him to at Real Madrid and Manchester City. Last night Robinho assisted 2 of Ibra's 3 goals, he is becoming a CAM and not a CF. If I do have one fault with Allegri is that he has neglected Pato, who in my mind without injuries should be the third best Foward in the world only behind CR7 and LM10. Also what is decadent about AC Milan?

And as it turns out he is one of the best Defensive Midfielders in the world. And he is still a lot quicker than a lot of people give him credit for.

Wrong side of 30, eh? Not everyone gets worse.

Anybody who wants AVB sacked midseason should jump off the Cliffs of Dover.

I still like Lampard. I'm not going to turn on him in an instant.
