What the hell? AVB sometimes pisses me of with these line up. Why he keeps putting Bosingwa!!!! And our sub, no creativity change. All defensive minded players, with the exception of Lukaku striker....but he ain't getting a chance!

Maybe next season they will get more chances....one can only hope.

André Villas-Boas’ Philosophy of Composition? http://afootballreport.com/post/17257354166/andre-villas-boas-philosophy-of-composition Interesting article!

That is a big statement! But it is why I said we should still buy a Higuian or Cavani in the summer. I sense that AVB like Higuian style more. Something similar to a Falcao but with more flair..... And maybe you are right with Carlo policy. But if the club is doing all the buying as mention by a lot of people or recentr transfer like Lukaku and De Bruyne, why should that matter?

Torres should at least be giving another year. His first full year it was bad. So was the same for Berba at United. Now I still think AVB should buy someone like Higuian, or Cavani just in case, but we should wait till next year to see if we can get something out of Torres. If he has not done nothing good next year then sell him or loan him. And last I don't think it was that bad with Carlo transfer. Yossi aside a lot of transfer where good. Every manager has made some bad transfer here and there. AVB recently with Meireles...

It's silly because the guy came and said the same stuff AVB has said, that it's not a buy back but first refusal, which Chelsea has to agree. However, if it's next year then I think AVB might agree so as to keep the Barcelona relationship cool cus if AVB ever wanted to buy from Barcelona academy he would be seen with good grace.

So you don't think he will get sack even if he fails to bring Chelsea to a top 4 spot this season? Cause I for one do hope they keep AVB. He might not have been my first choice, but all these firing managers is costing us so much money. We can't keep doing the same stuff over and over again, especially with FFP rule starting to take effect. That money that you pay for sacking and hiring, is more vital to be used in players!

Great read, but this one part should be made big in the face of all Chelsea supporter and Board personal:

Half way through the season, and it looks like a season lost, plus if he gets sack, thats 15 mill you spend to fire Carlo, 13 mill to hire AVB and more to fire AVB and more to hire another coach, and on and on and on. A big circus!

Paris Saint-Germain manager Carlo Ancelotti has no time for bitter regrets over humiliating Chelsea sacking http://www.telegraph...ea-sacking.html I miss Carlo, he should have been giving a second chance to prove himself instead of wasting a season with AVB. Dam you stupid board!

Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas insists referees should pay for errors over 'diving' players in the Premier League http://www.telegraph...ier-League.html

Not just wilking but also Steve Clarke. Again showing we had great men, but we do dumb shit. And I am sounding like a broken record so i will say this for the last time. First fix the root before fixing anything else.

This is the problem!

This says it all! Most managers these days are shit if they don't spend big right? Mourinho is great world class manager for his achievement, but would he achieve anything with this Chelsea if he did not spend? I still remember when AVB said, people think i am special because i have good players. Maybe when I have bad players they will call me the shit one.

Well I watched la liga a lot, and a lot of people are raving how his team is playing. He started bad like Benitez....but men his team is playing great. I hope Bilbao play against United in the Europa League! I would have also chosen Mourinho and Hiddink over AVB because they have the knowledge of the team. But Mourinho was with Madrid, and Hiddink with Turkey..... The smartest choice was to just let Carlo finish his last year, instead of firing Carlo, and spending all this money on AVB. Same shit like Torres! All this points to what I said, bad board management towards Chelsea club!

Yes and who's fault is it to choose? You? Me? The board! So if we fire AVB, what then? Will it be the same stuff again? First to fix the problem, you got to start at the root! And my friend, we ain't never going to improve if we don't first fix our sorry ass board. Firing and hiring manager won't solve the problem.

And Maybe this Justin character was right about Bielsa, cause right now he is doing much better then AVB in term of style. Have you seen the way A. Bilbao plays???? If you only seen one game, you should have watch the Madrid vs A. Bilbao. Bilbao owned them!!!! Till the ref helped Madrid as always and got one player from Bilabo sent of.

So it shows you guys have bad judgement and should be sack!

I just found this thread....and I have to ask myself, why should I waste my time worrying about what Terminator X, Sloth and other people say about AVB when they where the one that wanted him here in the first place..... I have to say I like the choice of Bielsa. I don't know who put that, but he is doing wonder for Bilbao. I think out of all those manager he would be the only one with balls to play a lot of youth. You don't call him "Mad Men" for no reason at all! Other then that Hiddink would have been awesome to have, but his age show he is decline. Look what he did with Russia and Turkey......

If this happens, that we sack AVB just after firing Carlo and spending so much to get AVB, then I don't know what to say. You know it's funny that I critizice and dislike Real Madrid because they are a circus with their merry go around, and Chelsea a team that I support is turning out like that.....

So AVB was talking the truth when he said that. There is no buy back clause for Romeu.

Avram did better then Carlo second season, and AVB first season. Are you going to tell me because of that we should hire him again?

And not to mention the whole Torres fiasco. Burn me once shame on you. Burn me twice shame on me. Burn me a third time.... So I think the club and Roman will not want to spend like before, but tactically and don't get hussle of for players price.

And it's not just that, is also the media and merry go around of managers. Similar to England.

It's not just England nationals me thinks. Even the great Argentina national team has turned nothing but a big fat joke. People like your age say the same thing about the Argentinian team..... But I guess it's mainly due to that point you made, International football is dropping in quality and it's getting less and less attention, while club football like EPL and CL is gaining more popularity.
