Fernando 6,602 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 The decision to replace Carlo Ancelotti with Andre Villas-Boas will be revealed to have cost Chelsea almost £30 million when the club’s annual accounts are filed at Companies House this week.http://www.telegraph...illas-Boas.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

termninja 5,290 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Cool.I still have faith in Andre and a couple of bad results will not stop me from supporting the Boas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZanSnake 1,211 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 AvB is building something out of nothing, to try and create the closesy thing to perfection with what he has at the moment, and build upon during the windows. Maybe most are impatient, but surely even them can see that this has to be the worse team assembled here to start a revolution in the club's future with. Will it really be a tradegy to sacrifice one season to gain an advantage in up-coming seasons?Boas has cearly indicated he has plans for the team for longer then this one season - and is only willing to build them in a window where the club is going to over-pay for players, which seems to be a good indication after some many people complain of that same problem with our transfers. If we have someone who is able to get CL qualification this season and with the future planned, then i would rather have that rather then the same ol', same ol' - but i have the patience to foresee the present in order to finally tarnish the moment when it becomes more of a reality. The man has shown his isn't willing to allow egos before the team, and dropping big players onto the bench if they aren't playing well if there number is up - like he did with Nando earlier this season with Didi getting some playtime, and with Lampard.Bring on the glory, rather then damnation i say, i dunno about others, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I'm more surprised at people being surprised. It would make sense. £15m + Carlo's compensation + André's wages. Simples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this summer will be very interesting regarding transfers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo 21,751 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Look, didn't we know that this was a possibility when the season started?The best case scanereo was AVB's Porto momentum continued and we gave the title one hell off a shot, the worst case scanereo is not short off whats happened so far.Im reserving any negative judgement on AVB until he has been here 2/3 years and the well fed "superstars" have pissed off.If we are still in this situation January 2014 then panic but for now we can either bite the bullet or sack him in turn giving Malouda and co yet another chance this summer.

Fernando 6,602 Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 Well that's another 30 million thrown at coach instead of players.....How much money we wasted on coaches that could have been used on players? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 We should really have appointed Steve Clark as manager when Jose left (lets be honest he was manager in all but name when Avram was "incharge") what's to say he couldn't have done a Guardiola with us?

The Big Drog 1,110 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I have sympathy for AVB. Mourinho once alluded to the fact that the squad he had wasn't as good as it should have been, AVB is working with the remnants of that same squad only now the key players in it have either left (Carvalho, Ballack ect.), retired (Makelele) or are past their best (Drogba, Lampard, Essien) and the replacements still aren't as good as those who are past their best (Torres, Meireles). AVB has been fighting an uphill battle since he arrived. I still think he is the right man for the job in the long term because somebody has to clean out the squad once and for all and AVB looks like the right man to do that. Im willing to write this season off as a necessary evil so that we can flourish in the future, hopefully Roman feels the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would be people who know the club through and through from the academy to first team. Instead we opt for clueless people like Grant and Scolari who have zero knowledge of the club's roots and personnel outside first team.
