AVB will be a new man come next season. Witha group of lads that will respect him and young in age, he would be able to carry out his barcelona 2.0 plan. but lets face it, you cant teach an old dog new tricks, and it was imposible from the start to try and get these guys to number one 'respect you when your practically thier age.' i dont like that one bit but come on we're just stating the obvious. next thing you know nico and alex are like lepers and casted away which i believe rocked the dressing room. so thats it, do the job listen through one ear and out the other and they would do what they want to do and make life a living hell for AVB. then add that he gives the players alot of power cuz he cant enforce things like other manger only grows their influence even more.

second, since when was drogba, lampard, jt malouda and mikel going to be able to play that high tempo runiin all day and all night and become technical specialists in a matter of months. like i said 'cant teach new dog old tricks' and it was a disaster from the begining. these guys all relied on brute strength to get them through the cream of the crop, and low of the lows. and it worked and brought titles. no complaining from us, but this new system is the polar opposite of what their used to. HOWEVER! avb should have noticed this and changed to what would work for them instead he hasnt and continued plugin away at his vision of next years team instead of this years. so player power wich was already high, (dangerous for any club) was also angry and retaliated.

i personally love avb and what he's trying to do this club and i know and believe he will be successful. all i ask for him is to work with whats at his disposal!! dont talk about next year this next year that! ride the ship and get us to a final in one of the cups. all managers before failed at managing their 'current squad' not on what they were planning for next season!? so what makes avb think that he can THROW AWAY this year? idk, maybe he needs two years to establish his philosophy, or he's being cocky that he has two years booked as apposed to other CFC managers. all i know is that he better save this sinking ship and fast because next year can wait!! andi think we all would agree with that. I dont want to become another liverpool where not being in UCL could be looked at as good thing, we're better than that and we couldnt possibly survive without UCL.

BLUE IS THE COLOR, FOOTBALL IS THE GAME.......

Pinto: Villas-Boas has been a little arrogant at Chelsea

http://www.talksport...rrogant-chelsea

I thought it was a good listen.

AVB is a new young manager, and has made some mistake. But he still has great potential, and if AVB can correct some of that by next season (if he still is here) then it will be a great step up.

Did he actually say those words ?

Not a good moment to say such things though I agree with you all that this had to be done. Roman stands behind his manager, that's something new.

Hopefully Bosingwa doesn't trust his project. Nah, who am I kidding.. He adores AVB. :Goober:

Roman put his faith in Grant a couple of years back and the players never bought into the idea. Stories of Grant sitting in the corner of the dressing room at Craven Cottage mumbling while Lampard, Terry and Ballack dug the players out.

I don't think this is all that different. Some of his team selections, and substitutions have been baffling, to put it mildly. Malouda isn't interested anymore yet he is back in the team. The treatment of Cahill is nothing sort of strange. I don't think AVB is the man for the job, I never did, and its clear that Hiddink doesnt want the day to day running of the club. What more does the like's of Moyes have to do?? and O'Neill would have been an outstanding choice.

I'm glad to see that the majority of fans are really turning on the players rather than AVB. These players really have been a disgrace and I can't believe that the same guys who won us league titles a few years ago have now started acting this way.

I have a feeling that if he was to be sacked, Roman would have done so already. At least he's showing more patience than before.

I agree! Surely, if Roman had doubts about whether sticking with AVB was the right idea, he would have sacked him already. And as we can now see, the situation with the players has been escalating and I'm sure a few 'Model Professionals' have been to see Roman to give 'feedback' on our new manager. If Roman was on the players side, he would have listened and taken action.

Also, the things AVB has been saying since his very first interview, has given the impression that he has the full backing of Roman. He has always responded confidently whenever asked about whether he can last at the club, etc etc which I don't think he would do unless Roman had told him that he would be given time.

These comments in the latest press conference are strange - for a manager to come out and admit that there is player power, that not everyone backs him, and didn't he also admit that the story about some of them texting Mourinho was true? (didn't get to watch the press conference but saw a quote about that on twitter). While it may not be the best strategy to admit that to the media who must have started rubbing their hands with glee the moment he said those words, what he also did was send out the warning to his players that he has the support of Roman and crying to him will be no use.

Disgraceful, disgraceful attitude from the players. I just want to fast-forward to August when hopefully most of the trouble-makers will be gone, AVB will still be here and there'll be some fresh new blood that's hungry for success and respects the manager 100%.

I love all these guys and its hard to imagine my club without them. ( I guess these players are Lampard, Drogba, Malouda ...)

But c´mon the club is bigger than every player and in this case we have to shw the world that wre not a exception!

Otherwise I hope guys like DD and Frank will come back one day to work here because they are real Chelsea legends and we need them.

Roman`s backing is impressive imo I never thought that we will see something like that, but I like it!

In AVB I trust
