Chelsea Sack Andre Villas-Boas

[TacticalBlues 2,817]

His poor man management skills cost him. His treatment of certain players has lead to a large percentage of the team not playing for him.

104 shorts Days 18 Hours 17 Minutes 16 Seconds at the job and AVB has ruthlessly faced the axe.His 39-game reign cost over £1m a match.

Their disgraceful reactions came from being dropped initially. The media constantly backed Lampard saying "I can't understand why he isn't playing", Lampard saw that and just believed their farcical arse-lickery. The media fed a lot of their egos and the players blindly accepted. The AVB witch-hunt was enduring, but he didn't back down for a long time. I commend him whole heatedly here, the egos can't play forever - they need a dose of reality and AVB instilled that.

But now, the board have f****d it all up. The players have beaten a good man while he was down and the board have given these aging, uncreative players an upper hand yet again. When will the players take responsibility for their mistakes? how can AVB manage a team which virtually coerce him into the starting them? How can AVB help Torres score a goal when Xavi and Iniesta couldn't? I've been behind Torres for a long time but I don't know why, we don't want to see anyone fail and I still don't - but if we look at the logistics, we'll see that Torres's acquisition effectively ended our interest in buying Aguero. Infact if Benitiz does join I'll be angry beyond words, the only reason for Abramovich to appoint him is to get the 50 million man scoring. At least AVB had his connections with Porto, where Hulk seemed to be eager to join. Where does that leave the Hulk proposition. Moreover, will we still be going for Lucas and Hazard? Or are we going to get a manager who'll settle for second tier? This cycle is ruthless and by no means beneficial to Chelsea football club.

I want to say "Thank you, AVB!" You were the first coach since Mou who had the guts to say what you thought. You were the first one to resist the players. You were the first one who was thinking about a long-term project. You were our hope! I wish you all the best, hope you'll find a club that stands truly behind you and respects you whenever it can!

THANK yOU!

I want to fly to London right now, and slide in on Lampard 2 footed from behind with 12 inch long steel studs. Fuck off you cunt, you are no longer a Chelsea legend, in my eyes, you're just a piece of shit who's outlived his usefulness.

[capriccioso 2,545]

While I'm there I could do the same to the Board.

[Kojo 4,676]

How do you know it was AVB who instructed the club not to sign anyone? I can imagine him already "please Mr. Roman don't sign any new hungry players, I like those old rebelling pieces of shits and I believe we will win all the trophies with their tired legs." I can't repeat this enough - we had good and correct targets, it's just that our tie-wearing dinosaur-resembling geniuses couldn't pull any of them off (except for Mata and the revolutionary deals of Meireles and Cahill).

The reality is that it's ALL a consequence of stupid club policy. The things AVB had to deal with and his sacking was a symptom, and he needed more time to cure it... and most importantly - the fucking board need to get their heads checked first.

Good point!, but we don't even know that, but i didn't hear of anything by AVB, fighting for it, if your a manger in there you should easily convince the board to get new players, I MEAN LOOK AT THE FUCKIN PLAYERS FOR CHRISTS SAKE!, i don't think we can keep holding excuses of this, if it's true then Ron Gourlay can fuck off.

I am truly sorry for AVB. He had players who didn't give a damn about winning games, the club nor the manager. This player power bullshit is pissing me off, enough is enough. I'll be honest, I'd be glad to see the likes of Lampard, Drogba, Bosingwa, Kalou, Mikel, Meireles, Malouda, Torres etc go, get new, fresh, hungry players in who are picked by the new manager. This decision is even more baffling than sacking of Ancelotti who won us the double. We're dealing with a case of bunch of players who don't care and can't play football at the Chelsea level anymore and board who has a quick trigger finger and blind-folds on. How come they can't see its the players who are underperforming. Sad, we need major changes now.. can't imagine if we'll miss out of Champions League places.. Keep the blue flag flying high

[Slam Dunk 1,442]

I despise our club at times. I really do.

[Liquidator 5,176]

This really is depressing. People as genuine and friendly as Carlo Ancelotti and Andre Villas Boas are horribly mistreated and arrogant, self-centred wankers like Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole are allowed to do what they want.

Why should I go to support the team on Saturday? They show us fans no respect or the club or the manager.

[capriccioso 2,545]

Roman is living in some kind of fantasy world, he must think footballers are like property, that they appreciate and are worth more as they age. He can't figure out that thats not the case, as far as he's concerned, he's invested 400 million and the players cannot be declining.

[Chels 238]

We've also had more Managers then trophies since Jose got the sack...

Unfortunately that is the way football is nowadays, money orientated, results based whether we like it or not.

I don't think we will see the days of a Alex ferguson or Arsene again if we do it will be a 1 off.

[Liquidator 5,176]

The fuck off list:

• Dinosaur Gourlay
  
• Bruce Fuck
  
• Fat Frank
  
• A$hley Cole
  
• Mikel
  
• Florent Malouda
  
• Jose Shitswinga
  
• Raul wannabe Modric Meireiles

I'm burning my Lampard shirt, right now as we speak.

He could have tried, but he recently stated that the club is far away from City's ability to catch top players. He hinted that we don't have the financial muscle anymore. The summer was dealt with all wrong, January is the wrong time to start making big changes. The summer, whoever fault it was, was a suicide for this club's season.

[Laylabelle 9,534]

Thats the annoying thing we could've done...if we hadnt stupidly sacked Jose we could've had those days providied he stayed and all...except that was fucked that up

[Tomo 21,751]

Mourinho is the only person that can get us back now, i am usually against return's but we have been left with precious little choice.

Trust the board to wait until Hiddink is not avalible aswell.
