Fulham Broadway

Exactly its all speculation. Next thing people will start making stuff up like journalists, or autobigraphical ghost writers, and where would we be then ?

No one really knows what input Abramovich has in transfers and managers. He has never spoken in public. But the buck stops with him literally, as he has the money and is the owner. Buck says he is a football fan first and foremost, but that doesnt make him an authority on who should come and go. Abramovich and the board should remember they are 'custodians; of the club and the fans were there well before them and will be afterwards

Liquidator has been suspended at the Bridge now. This is the new entrance music...

Th real reason Boas was sacked

So much for UEFA and FIFA.. ''Fit and Proper personage'' My Arse

Nice one AR. Its disgusting Rangers plight at the hands of cunts that have no interest in football just filthy lucre, when its the fans that have made them that money. and I can see other clubs following suit. Prem Clubs as well. Hopefully the Blue knights can pull something out the bag

Someone mention ''its a circus ?'' From the CFC website: Manoel Ribeiro In his third season with Chelsea, Manoel previously worked at West Ham and Fulham, as well as for the Cirque du Soleil

Its a great job, when you get sacked your stock is still high and you move on a far richer man. You have a great training ground and the chance to work with some top players. Plenty of the worlds best managers will fancy the job.....

How come hes sooooo good on FIFA ?

Think even that would be a step too far for the board just to get Torres playing

Also the inevitable second break up when it happened, would leave a lot of fans wanting the boards heads, or even Abramovichs. Maybe he wouldnt want to risk that

Wont happen though. Fans need a reality check that as long as Putin/Abramovich is there with the 'Yes' men, managers are disposable employees

Agree with that UC. Not sure Abramovich would swallow his pride to get him back, though he'd offer him a hell of a lot of dosh,

Well thats 3 of us going from the forum then -might be a late night if theres penalties

Voted for Peace- has a top pic of Hendrix as well

Nope. Its a fall guy position for the boards fuck ups

This is my last word on AVB. Yes he might be a lovely bloke like Blue Lion says, and he is probably nice to his mum and puppies. Fact is he wasnt given the autonomy he needed and he was angling for the sack. Anyone whos been to recent games would pick up on how he has fallen out of grace with the paying fans for weeks now, and his record is the worst for decades. Mancini would have felt the full wrath of Sharia law from Citehs arab owners, as would all managers with that record, the only possible exception would have been Ferguson, but even he could have faced the chop for winning three in twelve matches. So lets stop the sentiment and move on with Putin/Abramovich

Yup at least mourinho was given a chance to pick and choose. But as soon as he wasnt allowed his Waitrose eggs, and the owner bought what he thought was Faberge egg for him, Shevchenko, (which turned out to be a hollow easter egg) Mournho said fuck this. Interference is the disease

Someone who is given a free reign to demolish and rebuild with hungry players please. But...... , even if that happens dont expect him or the next five to ten mangers to be there long people. Theyre like girl friends -Dont get attached to them,

Yeah grant you that some arent pulling their weight, and the youngsters theyve let slip through that are doing blinding -Aanholt , Kakuta, Borini etc. The main fault is with the board -Yes men that Abramovich wont get rid ie Bruce Buck, the chief executive, Ron Gourlay, the director Eugene Tenenbaum and close friend Eugene Shvidler, the chairman of Millhouse, Abramovich's investment company. Its an autocracy run on the lines of Putins Russia, and until that changes expect 10 - 15 managers to come and go. Better get used to it.

Well theres always Cole and his rifle

You have to go with the Roman flow. If he thinks nothing of splashing £64 m on paying off managers, theres no room for sentiment. AVBs record is the worst for 20 years.

No one knows whats gone on in the dressing room -so its all media stuff about 'player power' and people are just spouting the same shit on here. Probably bollocks as usual. Fact is football is now a business. There is no romance in business. Dom Luís André de Pina Cabral e Villas-Boas had the worst record since Glen Hoddle, fucking atrocious, Glad the cunts gone -and as for all the media and people whining '' oh you need continuity, he's been treated sooooo badly'' -yeah right Like Wengers won anything in eight years ,at least the Chelsea way it has brought Three League Titles, Three FA Cups, Two League Cups and Two Charity Shields

One sung already at West Brom and in the pub was ''Roberto Mateo, Roberto Mateo'' to the tune of ''Jose Mourinhio Jose Mourinho''

What the club need to do now is get Fat Ron and Buck to be the dream team mangers. Then they can get the sack in a few weeks. Better still, the board can identify a suitable candidate, and then pay them NOT to come to Chelsea. That way they can continue to pick the team and send the youth out on loan but they wont have to settle any unpaid contracts. Sorted
