Could this be a disaster?

Are you asking that because you don't know?, or proving a point?. I would say City.

Even without the fiancial cost there is still now way in hell we can sack AVB.

We have our core of young, hungry players who are a while away from their peak and have everything to prove. DL4, Rami, Romeu, Danny, Mata we could even add Ivanovic and to a lesser extent Cahill and Bertrand add to that list also add the young talent we have out of loan, the only problem is they are being "suffocated" by the players who are either past their peak, lost their hunger or cant be assed, we need to let the well fed "superstars" go to let those guys spread the wings and establish themself.

remember how Ronaldo and Rooney shot to talents to world class players once Keane and Van Nisseroy left United?

Same with Barca, Iniesta and Messi only truly started to show us what they were about once Deco and Ronaldinho departed.

Real is another example with Raul and Guti, club legend's but Real put the good of their progression ahead of sentiment something we need to do this summer.

We let the big ego's leave this summer and getother young, hungry players in then i feel we will start seeing what David Luiz and Juan Mata especially (others aswell) are truly about.

If we don't finish in the top4 it will be a disaster. Why?Finacialy and because we need radical changes. Will Hazard for example come to a team not playing in the Champions League or rather go to City who will probably be the Champions?

As it has been said, we get that top4 finish, AVB survived the season and assesed the players and the PL itself. Hopefully we can do good business in the summer and then see what the young portuguese can do.

This is all I care about this season, top4 finish. Everything above that is a luxury.

Another one of these? I'm more a forum reader than a poster... I just want to say everybody whose got little patience or just want chelsea to win win win win win win buy buy buy to please leave the forum and come back next season.

AVB is building a team you guys know what building means right? The process of creating or developing something, typically a system or situation, over a period of time: the building of a top class Chelsea Football Club is underway. -Apple Dictionary.

Yes we are drawing in games against freaking Swansea and losing against QPR but WHAT? What? I mean I am no going to say that I don't get mad but what can we do? Nothing just trust AVB and Abramovic that's it AVB is a technical genius lets be honest. The only thing he can't fully control is players and their personalities but he is doing a good job so far.

Please stop posting this kind of threads and being pessimistic because what will we achieve if AVB is sacked? We will be taking a step backwards actually.

It's posts like this i despise and i didn't want on my topic, look many on this thread have disagreed with me, but they havent went to the boundries you have just went. Just because i think we need to spend money even if financial fair play is in just to actually get a team because i think what's best, doesn't make me a plastic fan or spoilt as you make me out to be, please if you're going to be like that then don't post on the topic. This is a forum, if we all thought like you there wouldn't be an arguement now would there?, some people have my views some have yours respect other peoples views please.

Great view Tomo, i didn't think about it that way, you could be right. I have faith in David Luiz even if he doesn't come great this season, but i have faith in him to become a good centre back for us, he can learn, he's not the first centre back to make mistakes like that. I also think we will see the best of Ramires if the team start playing well, i've noticed Ramires plays exceptional when everyone else is playing well, i can see him flourishing if others do. I think Ramires is a good player at the moment, might be able to turn world class who knows, but i don't think he's a player who we can rely on, yes we will miss him in midfield obviously, but he doesn't make our midfield super good either, but he would do if we had other good players with him, rather than Raul Meireles and Frank Lampard who lose the ball constantly and put in bad performances.

I would only agree with your view if i knew 100 percent or had huge faith in Abramovich not sacking AVB with a trophyless season and 4th finish, i cannot see it happening. Yes financial fair play is coming in, but i can't see that getting in the way of Roman. Am i being passimist?, probably, but i have my reasons to be also with Abramovich.

You never know with Roman, but I doubt Andre would get an axe.

Why bring an unproven 33 year old manager and expect him to win a trophy in his 1st season with an aging mediocre squad in the toughest league in the world?

If Andre does get a sack, then we will archieve nothing, become clowns of football again and spend money for sacking him rather then bringing someone like Hazard.

[chrismada9 1,948]

That's my point.. not a good sign for Ryan

Good thing we never signed Pereira then.. in all fairness, he was probably going to be Bosingwa-Mark II

[Shane 2,275]

If we take a back seat for a year or two, then become a domiant force in Europe, I can live with that.

Time, my friends.

[eldo 868]

I don't think Ryan has what it takes to replace Ashley.

Who does?

I agree that the team is currently shit, but wats the harm in giving avb a full season to build and experiment to be fully prepared next season?

Carlo prob should have stayed, but thats in the past, so sticking with avb is a practical option.

I mean our threat for fourth is newcastle so we gotta be real shit if we dont make top four... No worries.
