Chelsea Sack Andre Villas-Boas

[Chelsea? 892]

I always wanted Carlo to be given 1 more year, but now we got AVB so I'm behind him. I just don't understand why we spent so much money on players that couldn't help us this year or next year. We aren't in the position to do that, teams like United, Barca and city are more keen to do that cause they are in great form.

Yeah I can't get my head around that.

The club does its own business. They spend a lot of money on players for future, that give nothing to work for the current manager.

AVB said Roman support was unconditional instead of short term support....

Well the only way to find that out is if Chelsea finish outside of top 4, lose the replay against Birmingham and lose against Napoli!

Do all that stuff and we will see how unconditional Roman support is for AVB....

My dad earns about 2000€/month and he motivates himself every morning to go to work. If the players can't motivate themselves to play one match a week and earn about 100.000€ for that game they can fuck off too. If all the fans would stand behind AVB, there would be no chance the board or Roman would even consider sacking him.

I understand you but...What if they are just not good enough? What if expectations are too high for them to fullfill? Unlike your dad they haven't been able to do what is expected of them, which led to massive frustrations week in week out, which ultimately led to disinterest and loss of motivation?

This is extremely unbalanced and not good enough squad, and yet we expect them to win most of the time, make the top four, win FA cup and go to semis in CL. Who cares if they can make wonderfull pass forward or decent cross once in a blue moon. Who cares if our leaders and the most influental players are, unfortunately, 'has beens'. If they played for Newcastle they would be awesome. But since they play for Chelsea they need to be twice better, even though our squad isn't twice as good.

It's convinient to blame individual players, coach or even squad, but the real blame and responsability lies within board for living in the past and expecting contemporary results.

And for being opsessed with strikers while ignoring creative midfielders and wingers.

He needs to freaking start with 4-2-3-1 instead of changing to it every time we're losing.

Club needs to admit they fucked up...again

18 wins from 37 games with a full squad of internationals.

No where near good enough

i have not been on here for ages so this may have been mentioned before. The fact is whether you back AVB or not there is a factor that will get him the sack 100%. We saw the start of it today, its when the fans vote with thier feet and we do not sell out our home games. Even if Roman is adament he will not be sacked, he will have no choice if there are empty seats.

The next home league game is sold out so he may be ok for now....

[Fulham Broadway 16,862]

I keep hearing that we should stick with him because he is young

Surely there should be a footballing reason to keep him?

Tactics - No

Team harmony - No

Substitutions - No

Motivation - No

Selection - No

Bringing through youth - No

Players respect -No

Well Roman has to understand that he has to comply with the new financial rules.He spent 28m so that AVB could be our manager and he is not going to spend another 20m on another manager.AVB is young,talented and has unique vision.We all want longevity and AVB is the only one who stay for long considering he is only 34 years old.

If we can still support Torres then why cant we support our manager?

Not good at all, but i still think AVB is the right man for this job.

Avb deserves some of the flak, but the squad should take a good hard look at themselves...mostly the one's who are against AVBs philosophy or tactics.

No one's bigger than the squad, including Terry or Lampard... if their disrupting the dressing room than they should be sold.

i'm sick and tried of hearing about disruptions in the dressing room.

Out of how many fucks up?

They did not learned before, not learn today, and most likely won't learn tomorrow!

A billion pound empire build by Roman about to crash just because of the board stupidity.

Pretty soon it will be Chelsea in administration cause this type of stupid money won't last forever!

If it was a one off..maybe understable but the fact is it does seem to keep happen player protest or just general lack of respect or whatever and will take a lot to change that!Probably players going offskis!

Tactics - No

Team harmony - No

Substitutions - No

Motivation - No

Selection - No

Bringing through youth - No

Players respect -No

Tactics - Well he had good tactics against Valencia, and Man city.

Team harmony - I think it's more of the players who are disrupting that.

Substitutions - Some weird ones, yes... but it's not like he's blessed with world class in form players.

Motivation - Again, we had motivation against Valencia and man city. Also it's hard to motivate players when some of the players are disrupting the squad.

Selection - What do you mean? he likes to rotate.

Bringing through youth - Pretty risky in my view, we are having such a bad season, we need to try and win every game.

Players respect - Player power...as soon as this goes the players will start to respect the manager.

[Laylabelle 9,359]

God Man City and Valencia...seems a long time ago and we played bloody good those games!

I know, so much has gone on since then.. specifically some of the players starting to disrupt.

But all i'm saying is when all of the players try and are on his side look how we perform... his tactics were spot on.
