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 21,733]

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

[Tomo 21,733]

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?

touche....but I was expecting you to curse at me or something!

I guess that will come later.

Possibly because John Cross is a die-hard Arsenal STH

• Mismanagement of some great servants like Anelka and Alex
  

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.

[Chelsea? 892]

if the players know/knew avb was more powerful than them in Chelsea, I think they might realize they need to step up. btw are there any rumors of a lamps exist anywhere?

I think AVB has tried his best to revoloutionise the squad with what he's got. We have to give to him give him credit for doing something, not many managers had the balls too give in and demote Lampard to the bench and stuff. I think you can't really have a revolution without trying to enforce a new style too. But I do agree, we need a plan B until the seasons completion, then we can fully implement AVB's philosophy. Afterall You can't make a Lamborghini with rusty parts. Alex and Anelka were probably two players that should've remained over others. But they wanted out so what can he do? I think he's done well with playing Sturridge, but Mceachran should've been used better. He's still made bigger steps in half a season that most previous managers in the youth department He's shown a lot of guts but dropping Torres would be a difficult task for anybody. The £50 million price tag virtually guarantee's him a spot.

Got a point with the first one, but why bother with player power when you had two transfer window to get rid of some that?

Mourinho has some player power today at Madrid, but that's without Raul and Guti. Two big player power that would fall in the Drogba and Lampard category.

For youth he has done far worse then Carlo, and I remember clearly wanting Carlo out just for that.

Otherwise I would have stick to Carlo.

AVB ain't no better with youth in that department.

[Chelsea? 892]

• Calling for an evolution and not revolution. Agree with this about AVB he should have signed way more players than he did. However, I'm not sure how much power his has on our transfers. what disappointed me about avb/chelsea was thinking Mata and Raul alone would be enough for this year.
  
• Trying to force his style of high line with a team not build for such a style.not necessarily, our team didn't score much last year and his solution to that was a high line. We played well with it to in preseaon and in our first 2-3 games. There was really no way of knowing our team isn't built for a high line. Barca - I know, another barca comparision- play the high line greatly and their defenders are not faster than ours.
  
• Mismanagement of some great servants like Anelka and Alex.. Maybe he was trying to prove a point. i.e player power is done at Cheslea
  
• Lack of youth integration into the team.He tried to integrate youth but: no real youth with real talents to break into first team. he also played Romeu alot this year, and Danny but what other choice he got?
  
• Continued support for Torres.I'm among those that say try danny in the middle but I've recently came to the conclusion that our CF won't score much cause our service is poor.
  
• Arrogant towards the help of others. Interesting point
  
• And stating he needs no support from his team but only the owners.I think he mean't players that don't support his "project"

I see where your coming from but personally i think we need to wait until this time next year to judge AVB's youth policy, he did well with James Rodriques at Porto and plays Romeu a fair bit (not our product but young and inexpierenced none the less).

He tried to demote Lampard, and then got scared and started playing him often till he got injured.....Not so great balls.

I know i got cursed out here for saying Lampard should be bench and playing less during pre-season time.

And Sturridge was just a player that fell in your lap. Cause I remember the club was about to send him out on loan again. The only thing that stop him was that well pre-season that he had.

I guess another sign of poor vision.
