Chelsea Sack Andre Villas-Boas

[Henrique 9,133]

Attempt at logic (please dispute it if you think something is wrong) :

We should not support the manager because he makes mistakes.

All humans make mistakes and all managers are human. ===> We should not have any manager? No, that can't be right..

I guess the point that most the members are trying to make is that we still have faith Andre because:

1) He is bright and young and has the potential to become one of the best managers in the world.

2) His working conditions have been far from perfect with our current squad. So he has been unable to put his philosophy in parctice and show his managerial qualities. To quote Zolayes: " Andre is expected to make omelettes with no eggs."

3)His signings and his tactics at the start of the season have proved, imo, that there are very few managers who are more fit to lead the club through this overhaul.

4)He has been at the heart of the current "revolution" at the club, even if it is still at the beginning. Sackng him now and bringing a manager who knows nothing about the players and the clubs problems whould be throwing 7 months down the drain.

1- being young is not a good reason to support a manager.

2- our squad is not as bad as some of you try to picture.

3- his signings were Meirelres, a stupid one, and Mata, a player that the manager still doesnt know whats his position on the pitch. The rest, like Lukaku, were club signings.

4- he is not the heart of any kind of revolution, its a club revolution and it will happen regardles the managers.

- You are behind him because you are the kind of guy that thinks asking for a managers head is a ugly thing.

I admit, even I'm disillusioned by this season, but I'm not writing him off in his first season. It would be just like when we were all blinded by Carlo's début season and chanted "King Carlo", ignoring problems that were going unnoticed because of the winnings of that season.

If we want we can see the difference between Carlo and Andre. It's mainly how they think.

Andre is what TX is trying to be...

Did he really say that? If so then brilliant, let's hope the penny has finally dropped now on certain aspects, like what you just mentioned.

[Henrique 9,133]

A certain risk has to be taken with Villas-Boas. The final product of his management style could be sensational next season, or the one after.

Oh, so one full season where he is proving to be a pathetic manager is not enough to realize he is not the right man? You should at least say you are not sure about his future, but insisting he must be given another season is not a wise thing.

[manpe 10,861]

Against Birmingham he needs to show some intention. His words make me hopeful, although I realize it won't probably make a difference - Bosingwa and Cole to start, Torres to flop, Mata on the wing, midfield without a clue. Will be glad to be proved wrong. I will be happier if there'll be significant changes and we lose with pride and intention to change things than play zombies yet again and lose with shame.

I really hope they have some people keeping an eye on fan forums and general opinions. All of them should know what we think. Booing and being silent in stadiums isn't good enough.

1. No, but it is a good reason to understand that maybe he makes inexperienced mistakes, and we should support him since because of his young age, he should be more willing to change his ways than older, more experienced managers.

3. Meireles is a squad player, and it's unfair to call him a stupid signing, for 13m he's a pretty good player on form. Mata plays on the left wing because we have NO ONE else to play there, the only time AVB plays Mata behind the striker is when Malouda is on the left wing, and when that happens you all cry over the fact that Malouda is on the pitch! And Romeu was a good signing.

4. Yes, it's a club revolution, but he was brought here for the revolution, hence, he's the heart of it.

1)I did not say I support him because he is young. I said him being young means that he can still learn a lot and gain valuable experience, coupled with his great potential that he proved at porto could turn him into one of the best managers in the world.

2)That is matter of opinion and thus is relative to how you see it, but most members seem to agree that this is the worst squad we've had since the late 90s.

3)You left out Romeu who is an excellent talent and Curtois who is currently breaking every goalkeeping record at athletico. Mata's position is irrelevant to the fact that Andre had the vision and eye for talent to bring here one of our best signings in along while, though I could argue that mata's position "crisis" is due to our thin squad.

4)I did not say he is the heart of the revolution but rather at the heart of it. Diference: He is not the one that started it and leading it through, but rather a person who has been here from the start working to understand our problems in order to help plan the best way to see it through. Which led me to the claim that bringing a new manager would be wasting another 7 months because he would have to go through what Andre had since he came here.

I do want him to have another season, for sure. Come on, he's not that bad that he shouldn't be given a second chance, he's not some idiot that was taken off the street and done no research on (United singing Bebé analogy ). He did brilliant with Porto, not just in their league but in the Europa League too, remember he did win that tournament. He's had faults, but what's not to suggest he won't learn from them? I hold a hope of him correcting the flaws of this season, next.

I try to stay in touch with the potential transfer targets that CFC's scouts are following in Europe. Often this season its been an exciting diversion between watching Chelsea's erratic performances. Two examples: Have any of you seen Joe Cole working on loan at Lille this season? It's the Joe of five years ago - speeding around the pitch with Edin Hazard, bubbling with confidence, taking the ball through tackles, firing in crosses and grabbing as many shots at goal as Hazard himself. The other champagne brand I've become hooked on is Borussia Dortmund. Chelsea took a long look at their centre back Neven Subotic two seasons ago, when Dortmund won the Bundesliga with a team in which the oldest player was 25. Watching them thump Bayern in Munich earlier this season, all I could see was a young coach Jurgen Klopp, two centre backs Subotic and Mats Hummels, and a team that attacked non-stop with the verve of underdogs proving to the German World Cup veterans in the Directors boxes that a new era had arrived. They're doing it again this season. Do yourselves a favour and check out Lille and Dortmund. This is what we'd love to be seeing at the Bridge right now.

I have to disagree, because he looks like one. I was excited about him in the beginning but I realized he is a fraud.

[Henrique 9,133]

I think you wont be unhappy if we sack him and bring Mourinho, Hiddink, Joachin Lown, but you wont say so, otherwise you could sound plastic or glory hunter.

Lmao! Okay I do understand your frustrations, but I do want him to have another season to turn things around. He's on a 3-year contract, and I'm sure sacking him will cost us sums we couldn't begin to fathom for a case like this. Not saying that's a a factor in why I want him to stay, but it's a valid point.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Wow, that's actually pretty accurate. Of course I have doubts about andre, I think it's only normal. And although I would probably wet my pants with joy if Low came, I firmly believe that right now, sticking with andre is the right choice for the long run ( I think )

[Rubber bullets 1,183]

I'm going to be straight, brining back Jose or even Hiddink would be a disaster for us in the long term. We must move on from the old guard and the old image otherwise we will just go down and down. Brining back Jose or Hiddink will just fill the big egos of the old guard.

[eldo 868]

Hahah Styles was right last night.

"Sack Andre, bring Hiddink or Mou, they will take us to glory..."

[Santiago. 1,500]

Like i said, give him till the end of the season, he's got a real shit stain to clean up

[zolayes 14,489]

bullshit, when the fuck did he play them ? Most of those guys, save romeu, were club buys or already here. He's no different than anyone else and we're giving him too much credit. I fully believe Mourinho would play them just as much if not more than AVB. He's after success not sentiment, if you dont perform you are benched, that simple. He gests the best out of people and that will be the case with our youth.

what is bullshit ,,,and you need not underline everything ,,,
