I think we should bring Hiddink back to assist AVB.

He's just took over at Anzhi so no chance of that one happening.

Hopefully to new players being brought to our club.

That's the best thing that could happen to Chelsea..

This squad have reared this head at scolari ancelotti and now avb, whos to say they wont pull the same trick with who ever comes in if they get rid of avb? id put money on it happening again, this is the consequence of letting a squad get very stale and by not putting the blame equally on the playing squad as well as the management team, the players have been incased in a bubble where it is only the manager taking the rap for poor performances, I believe that the last 4-5 years post jose have actually reinforced that opinion amongst themselves, they are not to blame for under performing its the managers fault for not getting the best out of them, why should we change formation and style of play when what has worked in the past worked so well, these are the signs of players that cant adapt to what the new guy wants and realise that they are not gonna make a move to another club on the same level or wages as they are currently.

Players like that are a cancer killing the club from within, I personally dont want avb to be fired but if he does go I expect the board to clear out all the trouble makers, as it must be blatantly obvious for anybody within the club (quite obvious from a fans point of view as well) who they are and they should be dispensed with no matter who they are.

Now when i look back on the season, it looks as if the manager is not been able dictate his policy rather he has been fighting with the players to show who is the boss. Not that i m happy with the tactics or strategy that the coach has employed but i think we as a club has to have a certain level of stability at the manager level rather than at the players level which is the current case.

Like i mentioned it earlier, the so called players at our club have been spoiled a little too much. They are pretty happy with the money they make and there is really no passion or ambitious to give back. I m all for stability even though it means that we do not playing in the champions league for the next 2 season. Need to give the support to AVB more than anyone else and chuck off the players who arent interested in doing their jobs.

Time for a big clear-out. This summer will see the transition truly start. Time to look towards the future and disregard this bunch of has-beens.

There is plenty of talent out there. There is also plenty of talent in our team.

Would be sad to see Essien, Ash and Didier go. True legends. I hope we can keep Essien though for 3 more seasons. We need someone stable in midfield if this season is the end of Lamps dominiation in midfield.

But hey ho, a lot of talentend players in the last row of your picture there.

Essien can stay. He is clearly not one who disrupts team harmony!

Only if he can stay fit.

Thread is "The Players", but I think this is not quite true blame them. Players should want play every game, and I think they try to perform, but simple they past there best. And of course manager cant handle with the team, because this not his players choice.

The problem, as I see, is our money spending policy in recent years. Just remember how much millions we waste on players we dont need, on young players we dont use, on managers contract that we terminate. Our scout and negotiation systems is a joke. Every season we missed our targets in the market and there backup variant always fail in shot time.

What teambulding we can talk about then we buy players for 10-20mln and our manager talking that they are not his choice. Ridiculous!!!

I pray for this exodus. Even if we replace them with lesser talent, because they'll be André's picks.
