Although i don't want him here this summer to say he aint good is ridiculous.

I think Guardiola wouldn't be a good choice for rebuilding is maybe what he meant because half his Barca team were there under Rijkaard anyway. Or maybe I'm wrong haha.

I know that' why i don't want him here this summer, it's more the comment made by bluelyon that he wasn't good when imo he's has been just as important to Barca as Messi these last few years, if not more.

Yeah true and I think Johan Cryuff deserves some credit for Barca's achievements today tbh even though some people will disagree. Guardiola has perfected what he started basically and is reaping the rewards for it.

He is perfect for Barca, but we are not barca. We have no Messi, no Xavi or Iniesta. We dont play tiki-taka. Guardiola is fantastic coach for barca, but shit as coach elsewhere. Just look how weird substitutions he is making on games...because of that he lost to arsenal last year 3:2 just because he went defensive and put Keita in.

His tactics are discovered. In epl, you cant play that offensive and Guardiola cant play different than that. He knows shit about defending.

I hope you get the point, he is good >barca< coach, but bad coach for any other club outside spain.

Guardiola is not suited to anything other than Spain.

ROBERTO DI MATTEO expects to be axed by Roman Abramovich — even if he wins the Champions League.

Chelsea’s FA Cup-winning caretaker boss fears the club’s billionaire owner is ready to dump him and appoint a big-name continental coach in the summer.

But that will not stop the Stamford Bridge favourite going all out for a remarkable Cup double against Bayern Munich in next Saturday’s Champions League final in Germany.

A senior Chelsea source revealed: “Robbie is determined to go for glory against Bayern, even though he’s resigned to leaving regardless of what happens in Munich. He has tried to talk to the club’s hierarchy about pre-season training for next season and been given very short shrift.

“That convinced him he really is just an ‘interim’ manager, filling the post until a full-time appointment can be made.

“He’s hugely disappointed after the miracles he has worked here since taking over from Andre Villas-Boas in March.

“Two Cup finals is an amazing success after inheriting that mess.

“And winning the FA Cup last Saturday was very special. He won it with Chelsea as a player, scoring that amazing goal against Middlesbrough in 1997, and now he has won it as a manager too.

“That guarantees him hero status with the fans but won’t budge the powers-that-be. Everyone knows Villas-Boas was appointed last summer to get rid of the older players. Di Matteo has the full support of all the players but, fundamentally, nothing has changed.”

The Londoners have been linked with departing Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola, France coach Laurent Blanc and ex- England manager Fabio Capello as Abramovich prepares to appoint his SEVENTH full-time boss in eight years.

Just seen it not sure if it is true or not but knowing Roman he likely will go for a big name manager, he always does... Scolari and Ancelotti key examples.

This is Chelsea that we are talking about. Sorry to say that I was expecting this as I don't believe RA trusts RdM with a transfer budget and to move on some of the senior players.

The likes of Romeu, Courtois, Lukaku and Mata where his own signings... De Bruyne could of been but I'm unsure.

Lukaku wasn't AVB's signing, reflected through the minimal times he used him.

If Roman wants Chelsea to be successful,its time he gives his manager full control.Its embarrassing to see the board buy players which managers don't really need.Torres is a perfect example.

Torres was a Carlo signing, don't let the media fool you.

CL is a trophy that prodigies like Mourinho and Ancelotti (and Grant) could never win in the years trusted to them. If Robbie finally does it after only being in charge for 2½ months with the crappiest team in the Roman times and still gets axed, I will declare our board idiots of the decade.

Not even sunglasses help against this sun...amazing how they say that Robbie expects to be axed while talking about a dressing room source ( it could be Martin Lipton's locker). They can fuck of, I like what Gourlay said, let's finish the season and we will see. We have a CL to win

is this the same fish wrap that said the players hated RDM more than they hated AVB??? I lost respect to the fun long time ago...Many here in the US haven't forgotten when they posted EASY on the front page in reference to England's draw for the SA 2010 WC.

EASY was spelled on how the group was supposed to finished & of course The Yanks were on the Bottom...Wondered how that worked out

It's the Sun...they write a lot of bollocks, I stopped reading them a while ago...they even twisted words of Lazar Markovic when he gave an interview. Poor lad said only a couple of things and that his favorite team is Chelsea. Sun made a story out of it that he said that his next club is Chelsea...

Correct, Ray Wilkins said Ancelotti tried to sign him in the summer of 2010 but the move was turned down by the Scum.
