Guest justin_3d Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Make that 3. I aint gonna jizz my pants just yet. When Mou joined it was thought to be a new revolution and that Chelsea by next decade will be the biggest club and will paint the world blue and will be the biggest brand, etc etc. What happened? Mou got fired, we hired and fired 4 managers in 5 seasons after that. Won only 3 titles while Manchester united won 4 and a champions league.Untill Roman and his chums learn from their mistakes I don't see a new revolution. If the board keeps interfering after every successful season like they have in past then it will be more of the same.Our squad under mourinho was built to dominate the next decade and it all went tits up when we fired the best manager on the planet.He was fired because of his negative football. AVB is being hired because he is a better tactician then Carlo, and plays better football then Mourinho.Any more simpler then that it can't get. We won thanks to Mourinho, but the club, and the owner want to see a great spectacle a la Barcelona, and Mourinho will never give that. It is why AVB is the only man for Roman after Guus.

Tomo 21,751 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I really do not think this guy is that much of a risk to be honest, the records he broke was just ridicolous and the year before he took Portugal's version of Derby 07/08 to mid table safety, how much would this country have raved about a manager if they did the same with that Derby team? (took them to 11th when they looked doomed).Then he went to Porto and the records he broke were just ridiculous, unbeaten season, only 3 draws to boot, only lost twice in all comps and they were in 2 legged ties they went through in anyway so if you class a 2 leg tie as one match he didn't really lose at-all, broke all of Jose's records and he did not do to bad here did he?Also it was apparently him that saw Rjkard enter Frisk's dressing room and also in another Barca game had a altercation with the same man, he is pretty volitale when he wants to be and will not hesitate to have a go at the players if need be aswelll as be a "freind" to them.The perfect appointment i think.

termninja 5,290 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I must wait now 17 days for his first match and new Chelsea with new formation.I'm pretty sure we'll stick with 4-3-3. Andre played it with Porto pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warnie_666 1,081 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I'm pretty sure we'll stick with 4-3-3. Andre played it with Porto pretty well.It pretty lopsided with your RCF playing close to the centre and LCF hugging the touchline while bothe the fullbacks bombing forward. I just hope He has a plan B and C up his sleeves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warnie_666 1,081 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Those of you who don't know, it was AVB who almost got involved in a brawl with Rijkaard during the height of our rivalry with Barca. Apparently it was AVB who noticed Rijkaard approaching Frisk and told Jose about itWe are sure to see some fireworks from this guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomCFC 357 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Yeah, he looks quite animated on the sidelines - we haven't had someone like that since Jose. A journalist tweeted (@honigstein) today that at the final whistle in the first Barca Champions League game, AVB threw his chewing gum at Henk ten Cate - a future Chelsea assistant - at the final whistle!

Tomo 21,751 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 while in the dressing room a number of players - notably Petr Cech, John Terry, Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba - are entering the twilight of their careers.This makes me laugh, Cech is a goalkeeper who hasn't hit 30 yet for fuck sake.

Petr Cech has just turned 29 which is very young for a goalkeeper and Terry is 30 which isn't exactly the twilight years of his career.What is with this thing in the media where they want to paint the whole Chelsea squad as old? They're even calling late 20s old now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChelseaFanMKD 41 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I am just hoping Roman won't sack him if we didn't win anything in the first year. That would be very stupid.Revolution - yes, but i think we can't expect that he will win anything in 1st season. Like someone said, Rome wasn't built in a day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane 2,275 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 He was fired because of his negative football. AVB is being hired because he is a better tactician then Carlo, and plays better football then Mourinho.Any more simpler then that it can't get. We won thanks to Mourinho, but the club, and the owner want to see a great spectacle a la Barcelona, and Mourinho will never give that. It is why AVB is the only man for Roman after Guus.No he didn't, Mourinho got sacked because of a disagreement with Roman about playing players such as Shevchenko, and because results weren't going our way and we were playing poorly.
