Chelsea Sack Andre Villas-Boas

[pHaRaOn 2,131]

No matter how much I love AVB, he dipped into the transfer market waaaay too late in the summer and didn't do much business in January,

Roman Abramovich had trouble with Berezovsky at the winter so he not allocated big money for transfers

It looks good on paper, but what did it achieve? Knocked out of the Carling Cup at home to the eventual winners Scumpool, 5th and falling in the league, A reply against Div 2 Birmingham, and 2 goals behind elimination from the Champions League.. Lets be honest, he has the talent but needed more time before taking over a club like ours. This isn't his fault, it's the board and owners and they are paying for it. I like AVB but his plan wasn't thought out enough before he executed it.. I have absolutely no doubt he will be a great manager one day, just not at our club unfortunately..

That is a low blow right there and down right hypocritical....Because there was no way you can come out now and say you criticize him for playing the youth?...How do some of you live with yourself, jumping from one bandwagon to the next just to prove a point....All of a sudden you have forgotten "Josh and Ryan needs game time and we are glad that the carling cup is for them win or loose"....Just pathetic....

Hope AVB goes to Inter and wins the UCL.

Laughable. Brilliant.

I doubt Inter are going to qualify for UCL this season.

If this is true, I really hate our squad. I genuinely feel sad for Villas-Boas. Not just sad, but actually upset and angry. I am a very disappointed fan.

If that is true, our squad are unfortunately not only bad footballers, but awful human beings. I hope they leave the club in kind, with not one supporter wishing them good bye, good luck or thanking them for the memories.

I really hope AVB joins either Inter Milan or another English side (so I could follow him more easily) and goes on to great success.

Anyone thought of SAF asking AVB to becoming his own apprentice at Man United? o_o Prepare for the domination of your life times.

Interesting. AVB to Roma, Luis Enrique to Barca (doesn't matter how good or bad a coach he is, he will succeed with that club, in that league) and Pep to Chelsea.

Win, win, win lol.

But I read somewhere that Pep wants 15m a year.Surely that's too much even for Chelsea pay standards.

I was reading a thread on red cafe about AVB being sacked. Many of them would like him to join now and take over from Fergie.

Welp... time to look at it myself and begin to cry. If Man United get AVB, I'll be literally pissing my pants... He's a legend in the making. D:

They won't get him. Maybe in years to come, but definitely not anytime soon.

Didn't Roman pay more than that for AVB? release clause + salary?

AVB's salary was 8m but 15m a year is a lot even though he's regarded as one of the best managers in the world.

I know, it was a moment I wish him the best of luck wherever he goes, though.

[Sheva. 5,373]

So take the release clause 13m + 8m + 9m for firing him, and we have 30m, all that for 5th place

And i agree 15m is a lot, but hard to see any top manager that won't demand a lot to come here.

I think managers will come here only for the severance package.

I don't know if this was posted, but AVB has the worst record as a Chelsea manager in the last 15 years.

Jose Mourinho Win Rate 68% P182 W123 D39 L20 F326 A115

No doubt you guys are going to continue blame Lampard for his sacking.
