New Chelsea Manager

[Kojo 4,676]

Di Matteo has been with the team for whole season and if he was that good, it would already have prooven, therefore I highly doubt he will change anything. On the other hand I will be very pleased if I am wrong and after all he is the best option for rest of the season.

Not really, think about it, assistant managers have stepped up many times when managers have been sacked then been offered the job at the end of the season. You need to remember Di Matteo didn't have full control of the squad, it's AVB's squad at the end of the day, he has the choice to do anything, now Di Matteo will so it's completely different.

Gary Neville suggested David Moyes. I'm with him, big fan of Moyes! If he had a big budget, he may do wonders.

If Moyes get's a big job he will fare exactly the same way Allardyce and Roy did. Every one said they would do well at a big club and both made a pig's ear of it.

I think that's a bit harsh. Moyes has been consistent in getting the best out of the smallest squad in the league, his man management is good as well. He deserves the chance. He knows the English game, better than most, Ferguson once touted him as a person to replace him at United.

Does anyone think we're going to have a massive clear out in the summer? i think it depends on the manager we bring in... but hopefully we will go through the transition we need.

[Laylabelle 9,534]

Would hope so but probably not...

[bluephoenix 1,131]

So much for all the articles and press conferences where AVB said Roman and the board are behind him !

[YouNameIt 1,511]

I think that Di matteo is an option if Chelsea does well from here on. Anything else but Mourinho is basically shite.

But in all honesty this is getting pathetic and embarrasing. Get rid of the bloody board, they are driving Chelsea FC down a hell hole and it will be bloody difficult for anyone to dig us out of there eventually. First of all, having a new manager every year offers no stability what so ever, the team cannot adapt and change their playstyle just like that, and also depending on what type of gamestyle will be played, there are different choices of signings to do.

Right now I am so embarrased for being a Chelsea fan.

Come on, just because one manager fails at a big club doesn't mean all of them will.

Look at Redknapp for example, he's done wonders at Spurs.

Not in full control of the team, i'm not talking about full control of the club.

Like I said I hope I am wrong, but the biggest problem as I see it is that our players think they are untachable and they're not motivated enough. Well, if we'll wait till the end of the game on St Andrew's, we hopefuly get answer if he can change anything or not. Untill that we are only speculating on what will happen and once again I really hope you're right but I am afraind you're not.

Okay, well i am up for Di matteo trying his hand at this, he did well with west brom so let's see what he can do with this squad

Remember well, though maybe it was in a smaller guise i remember Di matteo did a astonishing job getting west brom outta the championship while as a inexperienced manager and into the prem

but sounds all too like AVB so lets not be certain

but i am always up for experimenting

and i did see a mention of the front page of us taking a look at AC milan, and yes they had their own mini turmoil as well, but i like to think of another team we should look at for maybe inspiration

and

(they had a managerial merry go round themselfs

deschamps,Raneri,Ferrara,Del neri,Conte) and during the 09-10 10-11 they struggled bad, team was changing (Exiting the JUVE5 era) and well into a new one

having got rid of AVB they might feel like putting in a decent EFFORT for a few games as long as the team selection and tactics are to their

liking... tail wags the dog again.

Nope. Because the board still believe the players are more than capable of being title contenders.

So he was sitting there and doing nothing for past 8 months?
