Chelsea Sack Andre Villas-Boas

[LDN Blue 7,903]

You are assuming they are starting a "coup" because they are on the bench. Lampard played the last game, Terry did not played because he is injured, Drogba is not here, neither is Kalou, and the only "old guard" on the bench last game was Malouda.

If Lampard is on the bench some matches, it means Raul Meireles (an almost 29 years old player) is playing. Lampard is playing bad this season, but he is still better than Raul, because the portuguese is almost 100% useless every match.

You should wake up and realize that there is nothing changing in this current season, the papers say about AVB trying to refresh the squad? How? As soon as Essien recovered he put Romeu in the shadows again, the player he using to replace Lampard in some macthes is, as I said before, a 29 years old avarage one.

He buy a new and young CB and what happens? He decided to use Ivanovic and keep insisting with Bosingwa. Why in the hell if there is an old guard unrest, the reason is because "they are on the bench" when all I see every game is the same old guard?

Those are good points, and to a certain extent true. However they are professionals and they shouldn't be crying to Uncle Roman because things aren't going well results wise. That's the problem there is at this club where certain players are allowed to have too much of a relationship with the owner, that it constantly undermines the coach time and time again.

Not saying AVB is totally faultless in what's going on at the moment, of course he has flaws, but the players shouldn't be allowed the level of power that they have in the club.

Again, the reports arent saying such a thing. In fact AVB called an extra meeting where he thought he would stamp his authority and it seems the players just lost their patience and told the manager he also is in an awful form.

There's AVB out thread. You should post there.

[Idiot 71]

The Team isn't in the position to criticize the manager at all. They don't deliver at all so they should focus on their own performance... Even with bad man managment they should be able to do better

pity they didnt show as much fight on Saturday

No, Tomo did worst yesterday and created a topic to share his views, so everyone could see what he things about AVB out, but the topic is still there.

[Lampy 110]

It could be André, Santa Clause or Elizabeth II, it doesn't make a diference to my eyes. The thing which would bother me, is that old average players who would be the "boss" at the club. If it was Messi, Xavi and Puyol who would lead the front anti-AVB, then I wouldn't mind, since they are exceptional players, but no, this is only Lampard, Malouda and co, i.e. mediocre players. And finally, if it was Abramovich himself who was to sack AVB, without being adviced by the players, I would still keep watching Chelsea.

I dunno about you, but the only reason I would stop watching Chelsea is my death.

Mate of mine made this tune:

We'll support you in the premier legue and in the championship too,

But if you fall to league one, I suppose that'll have to do !

[Idiot 71]

I'm totally with peace! If they sack him my passion with chelsea is over. There aren't many reasons to like the club for years.

You have a point but the Romeu situation with Essien was that Essien was far superior to Romeu in his first full game against United.

With the Bosingwa there is no defending. I wanted to bitch slap AVB for that before the game started.

[Yasser 63]

Some fans and I also want to AVB sack because he didn't learn a lot from his mistakes!!!

because everyone sees Bosingwa is the cause of all problems in defense team and spite he starts!!!!!!

and other, we buy Cahill and he stil on the bench Interest WHAT?!

AVB his problem he didn't learn much from his mistakes ..

another thing, how long we still wait for Torres score? although he doesn't help any thing to the team?! WHY is not given chance to Lukaku? I swear he is much better than Torres NOW!

I just want you to read Ruud Gullit talk about Torres:

[eldo 868]

I bet if Torres was performing Lukaku would get more chances.

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

If we continue to play like this, get knocked out of the CL, finish below 4th in the league and don't win the FA cup would you be prepared to give him another season ?

[LDN Blue 7,903]

I present an argument/dilemma for the consequences of keeping André. I don't believe this will happen, but I simply present the idea for views;

What if we let André build a team, but he still can't deliver results. Will we have another situation, with Villas-Boas loyal players commanding too much power because of that team that he's built up, with an eye on long-term measures (on André's part).

This is what Roman & the board have to ask themselves this June-Aug ^.

[Corazón De León 58]

I want him to stay. Let him build his own team. But sometimes he makes me so angry! He had 2 transfer seasons to change the team and kick the crap players out but no, he decided to stick with them. He was extremely happy with the team. I wish he didn't delete his twitter account. I could've warned him, Andre you're making a big mistake!!!!!!!!!! I'm worried we're going to get kicked out of the top 4 and then what top player will want to sign for us?!?!

I just hope he sorts everything out. I trust him and want him to stay at Chelsea! Please AVB dont make such stupid mistakes and punish the players who dont care about Chelsea. Make them play with the reserves or something!
