The Roberto Di Matteo Thread

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

RDM deserves the job. If he doesn't get the job I'll be shocked.

I also think weve been playing very boring football since he arrived which suprised me cos i remember watchin wba when he was in charge and they played great football.

that means he can adopt his style depending on the resources available to him. This is bright side of his managerial capability.

Yeah that is what I pointed out before. RDM is a very astute men.

And since Mourinho is not leaving Madrid this summer, I do hope RDM gets a chance, plus I like to see them bring Zola.

Mourinho said he has 'unfinished business' in Real, so probably not coming.

Branislav Ivanovic calls for Roberto Di Matteo to be given Chelsea job

Give Rob the job.

With Zola together, we kill league next season.

Such power. There is just no one else to get this place realy.

Opinions are great, we're a forum and that's what forums are about but anyone who doesn't want Robbie to have at least another season is nuts imo You can get or buy the biggest name in football but you can't buy passion and desire. All will be decided around 10pm on 19th May i think. Unless it's a late one.

Why is everyone wanting Zola to be an assistant and disrespecting our blue Eddie?

Why not have both?

[Manuf 1,448]

Why not have both?

Let's have a whole team..

[Jase 43,479]

After 16 games under Hiddink:

W11 D4 L1

Under RDM:

W11 D4 L1

Interim.

[Ollie 4,400]

We want you to stay, we want you to staaaaaay, Robbie Di Matteo we want you to stay!

[Tomo 21,733]

If you believe in fate, AVB got sacked a week after Guus Hiddink took the Anzhi job, had he been available, Roman would have surely asked him to return, no?

[Ollie 4,400]

Likely yeah and tbh it woulda been even more of a 'revenge' if it had been Hiddink in charge of us in the Camp Nou on Tuesday but i am so pleased that Robbie has done so well. The fact that Robbie has an identical record to Guus after 16 games and didn't win the UCL speaks volumes as Roman wanted to keep Guus. I'm confident that Robbie will get his chance, i genuinely am.

[Cosmin 2,484]

If the Blues don't win the UCL trophy, I bet Roman won't give a crap about Di Matteo's record. I want him to stay as much as anyone else and I think he proved that he deserves to be where he is, but we know Roman...

Let's just hope that the best case scenario will happen.

I love RDM as a player and an interim manager but imo he's not experienced and tatically astute enough to be in charge of a big club plagued by player power and owner's caprice like Chelsea for a whole season. Whatever the results at the end of this season will be I think the best solution to the issue of managers would be making him the 2nd in command of a decorated manager with good vision from the Continent such as B. Dortmund's Klopp; or better yet Pep, but in this case we'll probably have to wait for at least a year.

So when CFC were 2 down & w/ only 10 men on the pitch, RDM didn't do enough for you??? Just providing the motivation & belief in the players was enough to get that draw. Plus he outwitted Pep & Pep couldn't handle it, so he quit. IMHO RDM is DA MAN & we should reward him. Hell I saw Mr. Abramovich in the stands today smiling & giving hi-fives. I have never seen him soo animated. I think he likes RDM too.

RDM is doing a fantastic job. No question about it. But the question is: is RDM good enough to build a new team, to create a new winning philosophy? I'm not sure about it. Only if we cant get a really good manager we should give him the job for one season.
