Chelsea Sack Andre Villas-Boas

[Fulham Broadway 17,306]

Very impressive press conference, with him coming across as articulate, shrewd and intelligent. He controlled the room by remembers all the journalists' names and questions, addressing them by first names. He said "we" even when referring to Chelsea's past and is saying all the right things. Carlo used to focus on Torres' "bad moment", but AVB said it's a team effort and mentioned Falcao as an example of improvement. His attacking and inclusive mentality will be interesting to see.

Articulate, clever, (dont you just hate intelligent young people ?) speaks 5 languages -and English better than most English people.

Quite telling how he let slip ''Porto is a strong brand..er club.. '' shame that clubs have become brands now, but its a financial consideration first and foremost.

I'm really pleased that Di Matteo is assistant manager! He has managerial experience, and he knows the club so well, so this is a VERY good move!

Has AVB said anything about new signings?

He'll be looking at the current squad first when they return from holiday and start pre-season on the 6th. He said he will look into the market afterwards and therefore wont be speculating on players that are not currently playing for Chelsea (he was asked about Modric and mentioned Falcao/Coentrao.)

I watched the whole press conference and this was the most important thing he said:

We are restructuring the club.

Change has arrived. AVB

Thanks for all the links connecting us to the video of the conference. I couldn't watch it as I was at work but having already watched it, I have to say - he fucking knows what he's talking about and that's something. Brilliant. Having here Roberto back again, even more brilliant. So far so good.
