Chelsea Sack Andre Villas-Boas

[Henrique 9,133]

The team need changes. It seems Red Rom knows AVB is not the only to blame, the players are also guilty, but the portuguese was a pathetic manager.

If we want next season to be different, it wanst just like giving AVB another season and letting him buy and sell who he wanted. He is a joke.

"Chelsea it is not about training and playing games and then going home, it is about so much more than that.

"Abramovich does not like sacking managers. But he is passionate about football and as much as he wants stability, if he can see the club is not going in the direction he wants he will act."

Thats it.

This guy agrees with you:

Jacobs: Abramovich doesn't know what he's doing

He also gives a shout for Moyes. How he would wish Moyes would be giving a try.

[Chelsea? 892]

[Justin_3d 1,140]

All you say is you don't want him, but you never give any good excuse!

Stop messing around and tell me! :blue scalf:

Mourinho has a big mouth, asks for players, want to spend big, create a bad atmosphere where he goes. This is not what we need.

Those are no good excuses! lol.

The excuse you give against Carlo and AVB are far better then that!

[Chelsea? 892]

actually like those reasons expect the spends big part. That's what we need here. But I prefer Pep cause he doesn't seem as 'angry'? lol

but do we have more player reactions? And I really hope AVB wasn't crying when he left, Almost brought tears to my eyes reading that.

Great interview from Grant and an eye opener for all of you slanting our board.

Improving on the dismal reign of sacked Andre Villas Boas will not exactly be tough, claims the former Blues boss.

Grant also suffered at the impatience of owner Roman Abramovich when he was sacked after leading Chelsea to a first Champions League final and losing out on the Premier League title in the final game four years ago.

Ruthless Rom is now looking for his eighth new coach in eight years after axing AVB on Sunday, leaving the season in a mess.

Grant said: "Whoever takes over from Alex Ferguson at Manchester United, now that will be a tough job, almost impossible. But it will be much easier to take over Chelsea now than when I did.

"I had to replace Jose Mourinho. He was and still is a massive name at Chelsea — that was tough.

"The writing was on the wall for Villas Boas. Football is a game of results and I like to see managers given at least a year. But even after three or four months you can sense the direction in which the team is going.

"When you sign a coach you sign a philosophy. Under Mourinho the team got results. This time results were not good neither was the football and when they happen like that together there is only one outcome."

Elusive Russian Abramovich is widely criticised for his itchy trigger finger which has left a string of top managers on the dole for failing to deliver on the billionaire's ambitious demands.

Chelsea did not lose a single home game under Grant, who said: "Abramovich is a manager's dream.

"When he takes you on he gives you everything you want. He will spend whatever it takes on the facilities you require, he will sign whatever players he can for you.

"We went after Kaka when I was manager but it was impossible. The price was £80 million. He does not say it in words but when you work for him he will do everything for you.

"Everyone was surprised when Villas Boas got the job.I like him and worked with him when he was a scout at Chelsea with good ideas and methods.

"Chelsea it is not about training and playing games and then going home, it is about so much more than that.

"Abramovich does not like sacking managers. But he is passionate about football and as much as he wants stability, if he can see the club is not going in the direction he wants he will act.

"Even though Arsenal are not getting the best results the club is going in the right direction under Arsene Wenger. Game after game it was not good at Chelsea.

"But is Chelsea so much different to any other club? Look at Mick McCarthy at Wolves. He had proved himself there but still got sacked.

"All the other Chelsea managers have been sacked when results are on the way down. I was the only one who got sacked when results were improving and that made me very angry with Abramovich.

"But you could not ask for more support when you are the Chelsea manager. He is a positive person.

"I don't know what he will be deciding now. But every big name in football is possible to manage Chelsea - even Mourinho again."

Grant says two players went behind his back to put the boot into him when he was boss. Villas Boas had problems keeping the entire squad onside during his turbulent eight months in charge.

Grant, now coach at Partisan Belgrade, added: "It is dangerous for the owners to listen to the players. They talk when they are angry and there are always a couple of players who are not happy with the coach.

"At a club like Chelsea with 27 full internationals how do you keep everyone happy? I know of two players who criticised me, not because they were right but because they were angry with me. The owners should not listen to them.

"You have to respect the players but also know how to manage them - it's the same with my wife. It's not what you ask her but when you ask her that's important."

Of course Wanker liked AVB "as a manager", we did give them an easy 5-3 victory and gift them the 4th place (for now).
