Chelsea Sack Andre Villas-Boas

yep, but the source is the "sun", so I'll take it with a pinch of salt.

Actually I believe the original interview is with the daily telegraph. Anyway, its much more reliable when it has actual quotes rather than "anonymous information from insiders".

lol, "anonymous information from insiders" probably means "the journalist wrote tons of bullshit"

If AVB properly disciplines them (not in Mancini style, by letting a player return home on full wages for five months) and sticks the trouble-makers in the transfer market AND the reserve team, I'll fully support him. Time for the egos to fuck off.

If he is saying he has the support of Roman, it must be true. I don't think you can tell bullshit about Roman without being punished. So Roman support must be genuine.

This support is genuine until we grind out minimal expectations. If we were to lose every single game from now on, the support would fade away in next 2-3 games imo.

If you're right, then Roman learned nothing from the past years.

I was kinda hoping he would stay free in order to save our season if Roman changes his mind

Good news though, I couldn't stand to watch him at Spuds...

Great, £20m for Kalouda please!

Great, £20m for Kalouda please!

Would be great. So the players who rate managers of the club can choose between Russia, Paris and Madrid and we should be able to sell everyone

[kiaretta985 131]

it would be a dream come true!

I really hope so mate. t would be a refreshing change to have the club's long time interests prioritized.

Torres will once again feel the heat of the bench... mmm so warm.

AVB finally showing some authority.

I thought these words where very interesting of what is going on behind the scenes:

"Players compete, in the end, for their place and for their place towards the future in the team. So if you want to be in the team in the future, you are competing to win something against your colleague. I would put it exactly like that: performance to have reward ... reward in terms of results and reward in terms of future continuity.

"My authority is total because it's the owner's authority. I have told you that we set out this team to try to win four trophies, believing in this team. Next year it's another one because there are different ongoing situations regarding contracts which will have to be addressed so that means different changes. Two players have already departed and further will depart in the future and won't make part of the project, which more or less they expect but this is the reality of any football team. We prepare to be more competent in the present and we have to prepare the future as well.

"They know there is a manager in position holding on for a project of three years so, if they want to be part of that project, [it is about] performance level, or continuity of performance level and display. I think that's pretty basic of any football team. You don't contemplate with a reward people who underperform in any football team."

"I am completely happy [with Abramovich] ... I have no problem with him at all," Villas-Boas said. "It is a relationship that is perfect at the moment. We have discussed how we can correct what's going wrong. I don't feel I am under pressure for my job, although I know I am under pressure for results."
