Chelsea Sack Andre Villas-Boas

[LDN Blue 7,903]

If you need a cricketer as a Chelsea fan ,,look no further than Alex Stewart great Test player and a true Chelsea fan from the days long before Roman

One of my heroes. I'll never forget the day I met him. One of the most graceful players England ever had.

Graham Thorpe is a Chelsea Fan too I beleive.

KP just likes to be cricket's controversial bad-boy, I suppose he's sad that the Pakistani cricketers have been found guilty because it has put a large shadow on his reputation as the outspoken sort.

Kevin Pietersen is no longer my favourite England cricket player anymore anyway.... now it's all about Kiesey!!!

He has denied the FA charge:

The club has today (Tuesday) released the following statement.

With regards to the FA charge against Andre Villas-Boas for remarks he made after the QPR game, the manager is denying the charge against him and has submitted his response to the Football Association.

Think he'll get a touchline ban now. I support his decision because he did nothing wrong and our players didn't either. The FA are just being a bunch of muppets as usual.

Interesting.

Good on him & the club for standing up for André. However, this will backfire.

I think he had every right to criticise the referee. They get paid to do a job, and like in any field of work, if you are poor at the job you do, you will get criticised, and when results on the pitch are getting disrupted by poor officiating then what do they expect him to do ?

Ideally he has every right to deny the charges because his accusations were built on facts from the match. However, realistically, I know that this will just lead to Andre and the club being punished even more. Maybe even a side-line ban for our AVB. I think the club should've just payed the fine and moved on.

Gana lead to worse but end of the day if the ref had acted properly he wouldnt have had to question their actions....but what can you do...FA are messed up

Prematch conference against Liverpool:

No big changes in January

Good. Making huge signings in Jan seldom work. Last year's big signing's Torres & Dzeko failed to make an impression when bought in Jan. Any "big" changes should be done in summer.

If we're 4-5 or worse come january there will be signings, whether Naive-Boas likes it or not.

If we're 4-5 or worse come january there will be signings, whether Naive-Boas likes it or not.

Depends on the type of players he'd bring in.

The most popular rumours suggest Cahill & Hazard.

[Term-X 7,891]

I still think Modric would have been the most important signing of the AVB era, even more so than Mata.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Let's hope the chase isn't over.. Though essentially, if you assume they'd beat Everton, Tottenham lie in a higher position than us.

Sack him, bring Hiddink!

[Henrique 9,133]

Villas Boas was a gamble.

Now we know he is a disaster. Our defensive system is a total chaos, defeats for Liverpool and Arsenal at home.

Call me glory hunter, dickhead or whatever you want...axe on Villas Boas.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Happy with Villas-Boas leaving out Torres and Meireles for so long.

Because Torres would've taken the spotlight and the football would've been forgotten. Which actually happened when they came on. Good call by him.

Two mangers who have won things sacked in two seasons, cost 40m €.
