Will never happen tho and he may never learn.Not to mention the hardest part - conducting trainings, man management, pre-match and half-time team talks.. and tactics. He wouldn't last a month.

Tomo 21,751 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 To be fair can we blame Roman for not thinking long term when we have a fair chunk of fans that can't think beyond the middle of next week? Genuinly would not suprise me had their been a fickle number calling for his head after Shane Long scored in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he's been ill-advised by the board by the likes of Buck & Gourlay who will say anything to keep their own jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You certainly do have the right to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You certainly do have the right to do that.What the fuck are you talking about?Roman doesn't have the right to do whatever he wants (the latest issue with the stadium can prove that).Chelsea isn't his toy.For all those who have been real supporters (and not just claiming that they were) before Roman arrived,Chelsea is the best club with or without him.Noone is and will never be bigger than the club so don't tell us to go and support another club if we don't agree with all of his choices.Owners come and go,(real) fans don't.

Kostas 1,468 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I'm quite disappointing due to the lack of rotation that has affected Mata and Sturridge (not to mention Cole) and the latest line-up choice but such mistakes are not important enough to not trust his project anymore.On a more general note: We are going through what is the equivalent of last year's "bad moment" as evident by our inability to score from anything but set-pieces, moments of individual greatness and strokes of luck ; there's always more than just the coach to blame for such periods.I'm curious whether he'll manage to get the team to perform in the CL, will be a great sign if he does.

capriccioso 2,545 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Bad moment 2.0, as it were. We really need some squad depth, I expect we will fix that in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuinly would not suprise me had their been a fickle number calling for his head after Shane Long scored in August.The fans have become that way because of what Roman & his board have done with regards to hiring & firing managers. Sure there would be some plastics that would still act the same way but I think the majority that have become "impatient" are only the way they are because of the actions of the board.By the way, I'm curious. I wasn't a part of this forum in the summer of 07 but can anyone remember what the general population of fans was saying after we failed to win the title? Were there calls for Jose to be sacked?

Roman has the right to do whatever the fuck he wants with what he owns - most of Chelsea FC - as long as he's playing under the rules. CFC is very much like his toy although I wouldn't call it exactly that. Latest issue with the stadium doesn't prove anything because the pitch was never in Roman's possession.And the reason for my original post was because someone made it sound like only the fans have the rights to be fickle. Roman and the management team, as devoted fans of the football club themselves, also have the right to be fickle. In fact, everything they've ever done was within their rights. I also didn't tell anyone to quit following the club. I said that they have the right to do so if they didn't like the owner's approach. I just never liked the fans' sense of entitlementBtw, good for you being a real fan. I'm really happy for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Because of my age and my lack of a professional playing background, I could never be dictatorial. I therefore let the players have a certain amount of input into decisions regarding the way we play and how the team is run.Also, when we talk about the well-being of a group, I encourage the players to participate in the decisions affecting their professional life. For example, at Porto I would discuss with the players the starting time of the training or the need for rest days.I try to be an open-minded leader and to respect people. You must build a two-way relationship, even over any decision-making about arrangements or actions in the game. Naturally, as the coach I make the final decisions though and if I have to upset a couple of people, then so be it.The players, of course, are always testing the manager to find out what his weaknesses are. In the first two or three weeks when you implement your ideas, they test your leadership and your competence.It also depends on the way you come across, and if you are able to sustain yourself through this period it can build the basis that can take you forward.The disruption will come and that is a normal part of the game because of the frustrations that players live with. We have to remember that players are often under tremendous pressure. The testing, if you cope, will strengthen your leadership position. The game is so unpredictable, but the variables are influenced by the team that wants it more.You need to have confidence and belief in what you do. The players must be by your side, but ultimately it is the players' talent that solves the match situations.http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/1016951/andre-villas-boas:-chelsea-dressing-room-is-a-democracy?cc=5739 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
