The Roberto Di Matteo Thread

[YouNameIt 1,511]

The most logic choice, and what I think will happen, is giving RDM a 1 year contract and with additions to the team if he can achieve something decent like say PL title (or 2nd place with FA cup) and a decent result in the CL (semi finals) he will surely be the natural choice for a long-term coach.

The thing that is so logical to chose RDM is firstly that he as "reunited" the team, he won the bloody CL with THAT team and THOSE players injured/ineligable to play plus he clearly has HUGE passion for Chelsea. We need a manager who loves the club, not one who is just interested in doing a decent job and earn shitloads of cash.

I think RDM can be our "special one"

Yeah does seem a good idea and to be honest there is no point giving anyone who comes in a lengthy contract because its never seen out and just ends up costing more and more

I hope Robbie will stay at Chelsea because i everybody in the club likes him an he give the players a good spirit.

And i don´t want to see Guardiola at Chelsea

Ffs if Liverpool can offer someone a manager position now, why the fuck can't we!

[Laylabelle 9,357]

Because it seems we like to make everything as complicated as possible and draggg the situation out.And then annouce it at the most random times.Like Scolari half way through the Euros ...Surprise!

Liverpool moved really quick! Random choice but still theyve had a few weeks and got something sorted...we've had several months and still nothing at the moment for definate.

[Kezza 1,965]

RDM does not deserve being left in the lerch while RA and gourly wait for 'something better(worse)' to come round. He could easily get another job and leave this one with his head held high.

[Laylabelle 9,357]

Agree its not right and here is the problem with Chelsea and the way Managers are treated.fair enough there are things that need to be addressed and discussed but have had time to do it now.They've had since February to consider their options.And not fair to leave him hanging espically if the outcome is he doesnt get the job..and with possible transfers wouldnt imagin a Mangerless club be all that appealing.

With what he's done in a short amount of time could easily walk into any club at the moment.

It's obvious we're tracking Guardiola, if Di Matteo was going to get the job he would of already. But if Guardiola doesn't accept the next offer, apparently 15 mill a year, than they'll keep Di Matteo for a year. Either way we need our manager sorted ASAP.

I second that!

It might sound weird, but i don't want to see him implementing his kind soft and silky style of play to Chelsea! with all that possession crap! It's looks like kinda fragile to me! I rather like solid and rigid style of ours to stay the same way!

[Kieran. 6,317]

The club are doing the right thing...we've got to analyze all of our options. Di Matteo doesn't mind waiting a little ffs.

Good Ole Chopper giving some love for RDM:

"Di Matteo transformed what had become a very, very ordinary side into European champions and would be a worthy long-term manager at Stamford Bridge."

If Chopper supports RDM, then I support RDM. Chopper is what Chelsea Football Club is all about.

Newton, who helped Di Matteo deliver the FA Cup as well this season, said in the Mail on Sunday: "Nothing has changed. The situation is that we're contracted to the end of the season, June 30. We're still digesting what we've done. But nobody at the club is telling us anything. We all want what's best for Chelsea but we have absolutely no idea what the club thinks that is."

Hmmm............

I wouldn't bet against something similar happening now.

Winning over the fans is going to be harder for the potential new manager than for anyone we've had in our recent history bar Grant. Releasing the news during a busy period with many distractions will help the fans forget (about how much they liked RDM) and get them ready to embrace the new manager.

One thing is for sure if robbie doesn't get the job and Chelsea start poor next season there will be a riot at the bridge and the fans will seriously turn on the board for such a stupid decision!
