Chelsea Sack Andre Villas-Boas

[Changingman_2000 876]

I really hope now we completly flunk the rest of the season and end up 10th.

Shut Up you muppet. Why would you want your own team you claim to love to finish so badly.

Get a life.

He was miles out of his depth, Robbie will get the respect of the players a lot more. Boas was angling for the sack for fucking weeks now. His comments in the Portuguese press were aimed at his own dismissal. He certainly wasn't going to do the honourable thing and resign as he would have lost all that lovely wonga, like he fucking needs it.

I'm glad he's off.

Dennis Wise anyone?

well you can blame him for the revolving door but we're 5th in our worst year since he's been here, with a chance to finish 4.

Agree with the first part, although i don't like the decision, it's stupid to 'hope' we do badly. I hope we go on to finish 4th and win the Fa cup

2nd part: "Robbie will get respect of the players" it really depends. If he decides to bench Lampard and Drogba he will get the same treatment as AVB, simple.

How?.....The only thing i blame Roman for is not sacking those fuckheads called the board.....Some people keep forgetting Roman had a busy life before Chelsea which made him the billions, he bought chelsea with...The board on the order hand are responsible for the day to day running of the club...

Whatever Abramovich has done, has always been in the best interests of Chelsea FC as far as he is concerned. He has got many things wrong, Avram Grant, Ray Wilkins, AVB, etc. But to be critical of him is harsh.

I suppose if you own something then you can do what the fuck you want with it, Thats the way it is. The Avram Grant appointment gave me the right hump. I think Roman must have indulged in hoovering some Bolivian Marching gear up his bugle before coming up with that coking idea.

Hardly any surprise after seeing those vultures looming around in the background during the past few games. This was clearly the reason why the players were lacking any sort of spirit recently. They knew it was going to happen. The only way this season could get worse is if that fat waiter comes over here.

I think the Manager is 100% responsible for the players, their tactics and motivation and the style of play a team produces. Look at what Martin O’Neil achieved with the same players as Steve Bruce within a week of becoming Manager at Sunderland! Look at what the Manager/Coach of Appoah Nicosia has achieved with the greatly unknown players of the Cypriot club. They have gone further in the CL this season than United or City for godsakes.

The reason I think this is because think back to when Greece won the Euros...No major stars or high profile European players, just an extermely well drilled group who were all very highly motivated, fit and determined to succeed for the cause. These players had been bought together, trained, coached and selected by one man. Not an ‘owner’, not ‘the media’, not ‘the fans’, not ‘the board’ or a’director of football’. All of the aforementioned can be blamed when things go wrong but when it comes down to pure success or failure the buck stops with the Manager.

AVB said last summer that he wasn’t going to into the transfer market before the Asian summer tour as he wanted to ‘get to know his squad better’. That was the first and biggest mistake of his Chelsea career. He already knew the majority of the players and had every piece of video and medical information on every individual player from the previous seasons since Jose and his team including AVB left.

With that said he still didn't decide to buy a CF like Aguero, or realise the teams weaknesses. He stated he would play youth but he's done nothing of the sort. While people blame the players, they are not robots or machines. If they are demotivated because of the mangers poor system, or style of play, or treated of other team mates like Alex and anelka (referring to parking elsewhere and training separately), I don't even think our players look fit or look as I'd they can press another team.

I think dismantling the old guard was too big a job for AVB. You can't go about it the way he has and it clearly backfired as he lost the dressing room. Without him we can do no worse than we were doing.

I also think Abromavich cares about this club, whilst I think he wanted AVB to stay he knew the players wern't interested in the style of play or the way he has gone about his job. This has been reflected in results and I think RA sees that and acted to suit.

Becuae it might put rationality back into the squad. It may be the only way that we stop this circus from going on and on. And the biggest clowns of this circus are the players. The way we are going these players will never leave and with a cabal of the old guard who have big egos that makes them think they run the club and can do what they want. We will continue this route of short instant gratification that will be a disaster (if its not already a disaster). The likes of Lampard and Cole are destroying the club with in. And if we don't get rid of them and continue to let it have there way we may never be able to recover to be a top club anymore.

The ship was sinking and the crew decided to throw the captain overboard... this can just happen here at Stamford Bridge.

A cock up of "Titanic " proportions.

I agree with every word. The most sensible post so far.....................................including my own

Ferguson, Moyes, O Neill even Sam ''lovely own goal when we were 3 down to win 4-3'' Allardyce -could get a CL and title winning squad out of the players we have by bollocking them.

The crouching twat in the inspector gadget mac just didnt command respect

[eldo 868]

@magrico are you seriously comparing a joke of a tournament with club?

[Henri 115]

Finally it came to the end one has wished for the last 4 month, happy?- NO!, necessary - Yes.

What have we or our owner learn? - absolutely nothing!, because if AVB would never had been hired. We on

the run, somebody with success, lets buy it!, and it often dont work.I hear people wants board head, you clueless little fools!.

Who do you think choose them?, YES! - Abramovich. What we gotta realise that its gonna continuous endless. The one big

change we need is a owner with football knowlegde, and people around him who doesnt are afraid to talk against him or who

can speak up if they disagree. Are we the devils advocate?.

I would have taken O'Neill and/or Moyes before Carlo if I'm honest. Given the finances, Moyes has done a blinding job at Everton and O'Neill has shown Steve Bruce to be the cunt I always thought he was.

It's an example of how a manager can drill a team, motivate and make them want to succeed by employing the correct tactics. Clearly AVB done none of the above otherwise minimum would be good performances. I don't think Euro's is a joke of a tournament to win either. And you can't really compare a club to a tournament. If you read my post again it should become a little clearer to you what I was getting at.

[Clevemayer 764]

this is ridiciuless.... its the first time i feel like i could go out and burn my shirt without any regret... this is a absolute joke...

[Aesthetic Relic 301]

He should have been binned months ago. I remember one game at home against a diddy side he played 2 defensive midfielders and we created the squared root of hee haw.

His decisions baffled me at times. I wish him all the best in whatever he does next.

6 games vs 40+. You can basicly use the same 11 for whole tournament.

He's the sole reason why we are a club at the moment, without Roman Chelsea football club would of gone into administration and the club could of possibly ceased to exist, we were in so much trouble financially like Portsmouth. The club had spent wayyy beyond its means for soooo long and that's how we got players like Jimmy Hasselbaink for 11 million BACK THEN.

"It hasn't been an easy day for those who, like me, are part of Chelsea. I would like to thank the manager and wish him luck. We have to keep working hard and better days will come. Thanks for your support!"
