Chelsea Sack Andre Villas-Boas

[Tomo 21,751]

Do we really want our well fed past it players to win again? they did this under Scolari but at least back then they had something to offer and were at their peak, now there past it and still think their managers? fuck off.

Any player disrespecting AVB can leave, whoever it is, some will say that is "disrespecting" club legend's but acting up and sulking is hardly showing our club any respect is it? and as far as im concerned Chelsea FC > any player.

Exactly,get rid of the manager but if the problem players are still there,there is nothing to stop it happening again and left in same postion!It has happened several times in the past and is crazy! Its not showing anyone respect,manager,club or fans really.

If the board sacks AVB now it would be not only an absoloutly poor decesion but would also send a wrong message, in may aspects. First of all it would show that they are clueless. Everyone knew that AVB is the a young, bright but unexpierienced coach compared to others. Sack him now would mean "ah we didn´t know that there was a risk". Secondly we will never ever build something for the longterm. We will be like Real Madrid just without the trophys, clinging onto powerfull players, a good but short phase in the past. I don´t want that. I´d rather take two shit seasons but increasing process of positives than a new manager, who isn´t a guarantee for success either. Ancelotti all over again, not to mention that i think it is a fucking disgrace how they treated him. Could´ve given him the time of his contract, let AVB gather more experience and then thinking about a shake up. But anyways, coming my most and surely everyone with a clear view´s point: Sacking AVB would make the players getting away with it. Absoloutly underperforming and still be rewarded. "Oh no, it´s the manager´s and not the player´s fault, we did everything we could". Watching Lampard playing yesterday was absoloutly shocking. He had a brilliant carreer, but sadly it isn´t one that is fading out quietly but rather burning out quickly. That is alright, that happens in footall as in life in general sadly, but not being honest about in adapting your game (like Scholes) and trying to find a new position in the team is just a big ego´s way of doing it. Don´t get me wrong, I think Lamps did everything to the club and the fans to satisfy him in the past but times are a-changing, to quote Mr. Bob Dylan. I certainly don´t want to single out Frank for what is going wrong at the moment, it is just a pattern for our situtation.

We spoke a lot about Malouda, Anelka and so on. Their attitude in the games have been shocking on an whole different level but carelessness is the outcome in both cases. Letting the players get away with their behavior would just deepen the rot in our squad and let them get even more lazier. The way AVB treated Alex and Anelka is obviously not good in man to man management. I would be fucking furious if my boss would speak to me like that. But then again the football scenery is different. Anyway, it had him sent out a strong message which seemed to work for while, but then the sloppyness came back. I don´t know how much a manager can do if the players don´t do what they are good at. If they would perfom subsitution logic wouldn´t have such a big impact i think. Not taking anything away from the fact that the right substitions will send out a message and win you games, but when the players on the pitch are not performing they way the did before (Sturridge, Lamps, Malouda, etc) then what will three Subs change if the rest is still as lethargic as before ?

And to a whole different point: Bringing back Mourinho ? Get his signings out and start something new ! New is always more exciting and better, if you ask me.

I am not a traditionalist but certainly a fan of José, but those days are over and there is a chance in every new beginning. But if some fans are not patient enough and expect a total shake up after 7 months of what he been going for almost 6 years, that is just poor judgement and not really good knowledge about the game.

For fucks sake, sometimes I wonder why people support a certain Football Club when all they do is moan and not being very helpful and their analyses. It seems that their lives depend on how the board runs their favourite set of shirts. Don´t get me wrong again, I love Chelsea Football Club and take every defeat on the chin as long as the players do the same and react to what happens. But I don´t let my judgement be fooled by the mist of impatience.

You got some good points. But what i "like" about our current situation is that it so clear shows that we a lead but idiots all over!.

I knew that Boas was Abramovich last move, he is fucked up for good now!. Why do you think he stuck with him, he has no other

choice, idiot. Boas, no he is absolutely no bright talent, and i tell you the future will tell. By the way dont anybody come with build

some new thing Bullshit you dont Abramovich then!.

Didn't Grant get us to the UCL final? He must be an idiot.

AVB?

Think that was more to do with Steve Clarke..in my opion anyway seeing as Grant then went on to manage two premier teams and took them both down

^^

Not to mention that back then we had the best squad in Europe.

Talk sport had John cross and someone else on tonight talking about us and they made some good points that people on here could do with listening to. It was on at half 7 if you can listen again. Very supportive of avb

[Henrique 9,133]

Fully behind him. Sack the players that aren't. Simple. AVB could be our SAF.

Thats why many people here are behind him, because they are obsessed about Manchester, and want Chelsea to become a blue Manchester.

SAF is an unique case, and we will never have a SAF, and no club in the world will have one, including MU when he retires.

[Tomo 21,751]

Time for the players kicking up a fuss to be playing reserve team football or even better have their contracts terminated.

[Tomo 21,751]

Thats why many people here are behind him,

No, many people are behind him because we realize it's the well fed pretty boys that are the problem, not AVB.

• Calling for an evolution and not revolution.
  
• Trying to force his style of high line with a team not build for such a style.
  
• Mismanagement of some great servants like Anelka and Alex.
  
• Lack of youth integration into the team.
  
• Continued support for Torres.
  
• Arrogant towards the help of others.
  
• And stating he needs no support from his team but only the owners.
  

Clearly AVB is guilty as he stands, but The Big Kahuna, Roman, will have the final verdict.

Will he forgive AVB for his sins? Or cast him out of his kingdom?

Possibly because John Cross is a die-hard Arsenal STH

We have been moaning about player power for years, weve now got a manager trying to do something about it and we moan? he may have gone a bit too far but would you rather he sat around and let the players cause havoc?

• Lack of youth integration into the team.
  

Bertrand aside he has got it right, eg with Lukaku, struggled so reserves for a bit, now looks more sharp.
