ruggedknot 105 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 André Villas-Boas comments leave Chelsea officials unimpressed http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/feb/28/andre-villas-boas-chelsea-unhappy...as reports emerged from Spain, with excruciating timing, that the former Chelsea manager José Mourinho was in London looking at properties. Adding fuel to the fire of the Jose rumours .That being said , the main article however is something that I feared would happen . Saying things like its ' culturally present' to have coaches being striked off when things aren't going well , as much as they're lost in translation, does sound bad for the suits and knowing Roman's advisors, they've got his ears tuned to every little tidbit .

bababoom 4,478 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 A player wont be unhappy if he realizes he is on the bench because there is a so much better guy on the pitch, what make a player really unhappy (dont know if you play real football) is when you realize there is a useless player on the pitch while you are watching the game. Lampard is pissed not because he is on the bench, but because Meireles is playing while he is not, despite being our league top scorer.I'm sure Lampard would be ok if he was not playing so many matches while our midfielder was on fire, playing a really good football. But seriously @Terry07, Lampard is a smart 33 years old player used to big matches, AVB is a 33 years old guy that never played professional football in his third year as "manager". I'm not sure AVB knows more about football than Lampard, are you sure about that?The thing is, it's not like Lampard's playing great either, he's just marginally playing better than Raul (in my opinion).Also why should Lampard dictate or argue with the manager because he 'thinks' he's better than another player, that is not only disrespectful to the manager but also to the other player.All im trying to say is that no player is bigger than the manger, and certainly not the club... if they want to play more than they can leave. Simple as that.'Lampard is a smart 33 years old player'He is, you're quite right. But sometimes your pride gets in the way, looking in from the outside is simple, we know Lampard is declining in form (mostly because of his age) but he may not think that, it doesn't matter how 'smart' you are, or in this case 'educated' most people are oblivious to their own faults.It's hard to judge who knows more about Football, maybe Lampard knows more about the physical side, and AVB knows more about the managerial side.But obviously you and i don't know that for sure, how could we? it's not like we know them personally.

Henrique 9,133 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Will a manager like Guardiola accept this job if we sack AVB?Guardiola is the kind of guy that deserves all time in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badboy 1,526 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I think AVB is still a very young unpolished manager and I think he needs to go to a mid sized team where he'll gain experience. He's not good enough yet to manage a big side, his man management skills are school boy at best. His management skills are that terrible he has managed to create a clear divide in our squad between the Portuguese speaking contingent and a few of the rest, I think the Africans are generally neutral. I know he's got terrible players at his disposal but his tactics have cost us so many points, the high line has costs us a lot of goals where players have just made a forward run and caught us napping.

Bosnian Blue 2,471 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Will a manager like Guardiola accept this job if we sack AVB?Guardiola is the kind of guy that deserves all time in the world.He'd be a risk just like AVB was. Managing this Barca squad and any other squad in the world are two very different things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francozola 2,040 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I'm genuinely worried about AVB now. The Jose news doesn't mean jack squat but there are a lot of reports saying the same thing - that AVB is fighting a losing battle and that he's going to get the sack in the next few weeks. Been trying not to take it seriously but can't help it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin_3d 1,140 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 He wants to do what they were doing early in the season again. Finally, he mentioned the importance of selling his idea to the players and how managers are sellers of ideas (he quoted Bielsa and praised Guardiola for that).Even AVB recognizes the greatness of Bielsa!

Blue Armour 4,438 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Like I said earlier, I wish AVB had kept his mouth shut regarding the management...Saying things like "the management has culture of sacking coaches" (still true btw) won't go down well. He should refrain from commenting on aspects like these in public. Its all too similar to Carlo's situation last season..I really hope this month can work wonders with our form, and help usurp Napoli. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin_3d 1,140 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Well it looks like Mourinho is coming back to Chelsea.I am not a big fan of the man, but if sacking AVB to get Mourinho for a decade I am down!I am tired of all this managerial merry go around, so Roman must have done some major confession of his sin to ask Mourinho to come back. With Mourinho back, Roman will not object to give him all the power to do whatever he wants.So with Mourinho back in the team, all I can say is that I pray that Mourinho uses more youth, and spend wisely cause we can't do what he did when he first came to Chelsea. A blank check is no longer available under the new financial rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin_3d 1,140 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Same here.It will be just too much for me. I know its sounds over dramatic, but if i know myself im pretty much sure that the club will beslightly less important for me in the near future after Boas will get sacked (if he will). And i know its only Abramovich's decision,but he's running the club right now so you cant separate the two...This is why if AVB gets sack Roman has no one else to turn to but Mourinho.If Roman is going to do this, it should be already done. Mourinho to take over in the summer.AVB was the last candidate Roman had to rebuild his team, but if he can't take such a gamble then he will have to get Mourinho.And all fans in the world that have felt like Chelsea is a big circus will love the team again, and top players would want to come to Chelsea because of a great manager building a new project.So those are the 2 choice. Keep AVB or sack AVB to get Mourinho. I don't see no other scenario unless Roman is more foolish then I think he is..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
