AVB out? seriously?

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Villas-Boas cannot work miracles. This is an old team now. The problem is not Villas-Boas, it's with the team that he has.

[manpe 10,861]

did he say that?

yeah, found it http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Chelsea-Blame-old-players-not-Andre-Villas-Boas-for-bad-results-says-ex-manager-Carlo-Ancelotti-article836801.html

did he say that?

Yes. He is correct.

[ZanSnake 1,211]

Too bad it took him to get sacked to notice it

[zolayes 14,489]

^ interesting to read & reassuring if true.

The bit about players raising concerns & doubting AVB annoyed me. Yet again we have player power trying to take over. No player is bigger than the club & if they don't want to play for AVB it's time for them to leave cause a lot of them are playing like they don't give a shit.

it certainly sounded like that last night ,,,only Ross ,Ryan ,,Romeu and Lukaku trying ....

Thanks Carlo, I hope his comments get put on mainstream.

[Henrique 9,133]

The article in Guardian is pretty confusing: Carlo appointment has to do with Shevchenko, in his first season as a manager Carlo told the ukranian to go...

in the same time it asserts Roman will back VB and will buy some players in January, but it says the club wont spend big again ( we bought Mata for a big price).

and it also says if we have a bad peformance in next games, the VB situation will be precarious, despite Roman's support.

for his situation is simple: is we get a couple of bad results and peformance in next games, he will get the axe.

Miss Carlo. Unfortunately he had exactly the same players without Mata and studge. His only mistake was not playing Studge.

wonder if Carlo would have rectified the situation during summer

[Milan 17,955]

During his press conference, AVB said he is really sure he will still be a Chelsea manager, even if he fails in the league.

Really hope he's had that reassurance from Roman & he hasn't just assumed.

[francozola 2,040]

Was just about to post that. I really do think that Roman has given him time and unless we reach extraordinary lows, he won't get sacked

That Marina woman needs to go back to the kitchen.

The man was hired because he isn't a trouble maker in public of behind the scenes (basically a yes man), because he had previous experience working under a similar owner to ours and because he got the best out of an old Milan side, he was hired to get the best out of an old Chelsea side. The man was the very definition of status quo.

That Marina woman needs to go back to the kitchen.

smiles true but let the doctor get to work on the players...get some hardness back into them
