It's funny, and then some of these people accuse of Liverpool living in the past, when they are the same......

Well that's another 30 million thrown at coach instead of players..... How much money we wasted on coaches that could have been used on players?

Someone must do something. And that someone will not do nothing, unless we stop firing managers!

Roman, nor the technical director is going to do that. So who that leaves? Oh yeah the manager, but no manager for Chelsea can do that, because they have to think short term. So who's fault is it? The managers? The players? The board? As far as i see it it's the clubs fault, because if you want to copy the Madrid model, then you better keep on spending for player as you pay to fire managers!

Ahem cause that's because Real Madrid does a Roman or sheik. After every cycle they spend big, like 400 million and such. Chelsea has not seen so much big spending since Roman came. After that it has been downhill, with the exception of Torres..... The reason???? Because we don't produce enough revenue like Madrid. They can take on all this debt but they still produce profits. Chelsea does not have even debt, but we still produce loss, because of high wages, and not a big club like Madrid to produce enough revenue.

The decision to replace Carlo Ancelotti with Andre Villas-Boas will be revealed to have cost Chelsea almost £30 million when the club’s annual accounts are filed at Companies House this week. http://www.telegraph...illas-Boas.html

So what you want Carlo out after he was sack for similar nonsense, and saying "bad moment" Come on, at this point of stage two managers with the same problem you got to think rationale and realise it's not the manager!

Men got a point. We have been doing better in defense. But still Bosingwa.....

I did not watch the match, but I just want to ask one question. Why did Cahill not start the match? Why he went with Bosingwa-Ivan-David Luiz-Cole? And noticed Cole got red card. I guess now we will see if he gives time to Ryan, or decides to stick someone else.....

Hide the fact we are in a loss again with a little sprinkle of good words, yay......

Can give you the case of Romeu. He is far better then what we got here as first team starters! But that's not Barcelona fault, as they got too many players there already. So another problem Chelsea got besides the constant manager of firing, is this. Lets not forget Barcelona also payed big bucks for Sanchez when they had a great talent like Tello, and he showed what he got in the last game against Villareal. So it's not a Chelsea problem is a problem for big clubs, as mention by Carlo. And lets not even talk about the bigger fools of Madrid that sold a lot of their youngster and now are kicking ass....a certain Mr. Mata. Now to my understanding the best 2 biggest club that have tried to manage this decently have been United and Arsenal...and I wonder why is that....long term manager that can plan for the future, and he call the shots???

Yeah I saw something similar in a transfer gossip: Reports in Brazil claim that Chelsea are readying a late bid for Sao Paolo's Lucas Moura.

I remember Carlo saying it was hard to bring younger players in big clubs..... Maybe the problem is the "big club, big ambition, big deadlines" Wenger has not won jack shit in ages and still get to keep his job....

What we actually doing is a Wenger. Buy young players around 18, and give them that extra push Very hard to bring youth when you keep firing manager After Terry the real product from our academy is Josh FFP will make it worse for England cause most big clubs will continue to do what Chelsea is doing. Buying younger players from 17-20 age bracket. And last it's also about right timing. United had a golden generation, now they are lacking badly....maybe has to do with buying overseas players....

Forgot to add 3 belgians player, he will feel at home. And we can convince him like Torres did with Mata!

It's all about good timing as you stated. With the exception of Porto, I can see how easily this fit. After Chelsea, Inter was already winning serie A with a good squad assemble by Mancini, and then Mounrinho got the couple of players and bang. Now with Madrid, a great squad assemble by Pellegrini, and bang. Not to take anything from Mourinho as he is a great coach, but I can clearly see where you are coming from. If he would take City it would be the same. A good squad built by Mancini and then bam! A real project that will take him 3 season would be Arsenal or Liverpool....3 season, well the same time frame AVB was hired for.

Yeah but at least is something. But then I realize that smaller teams from the premier might not have a bigger reserve team as say a Chelsea, United or City. This is silly thing to say. So a manager is wrong to think long term? Chelsea needs a long term manager, so a manager that wants to have a plan for the future is great!

What I think they should do is scrap the Carling Cup for Premier League teams. More like if you want the premier league team, then put the reserve side/youth do that! England is the only country I see with 4 cups for regular team. If you make the Carling Cup the way it is minus the regular teams from the PL and add the reserves, then that would be a descent step up of competition for the reserves. As regular teams don't care much about Carling cup!

This is great. KDB is a good signing for that price. Not an impact player like Hazard, but def will be kicking some butt in 2 or 3 seasons with our other younger players. Now buy Canales for cheap from Real Madrid!

Well if things keep up, it might come true where Arsenal sack Wenger, Real get their long wanted men, and Mourinho goes to Arsenal!

Interesting draw. If AVB manages to win this trophy I would be preatty impress as I did not expect him to win anything this season.....

City.

Probably get Everton as per the usual....

Interesting read, but this got my attention: That to me seem smore like a Hazard then him....well the tricky part. But KDB would be a good squad player.

Well he would suck if he sticks with players like Kalou, Malouda, Mikel, Ferreira and such. He would need to buy new players like AVB has to do. So because of that, yes I am intruige to see how AVB would do with top players as we already seen it with Mourinho.
