The Roberto Di Matteo Thread

[Caeruleus 1,148]

Will CFC fans from London give a support to RDM and Eddie? Will they? Or will they agree with Abramovich's stupid decisions?

[Kostas 1,468]

Be that as it may, the treatment of Di Matteo is shocking.

Only if you define anything except giving him the job as shocking treatment. I reckon RdM is well informed of what's going to happen and that is exactly what makes the journos mad.

Agree.One moment it seemed a case of 'win the CL...get the job....then seemed set to get it when Pep said was taking a year out.Now he aint..who knows whats going on'

But if he doesnt get it best of luck wherever he goes.Defintly a lot of oppounties out there for him now...

Just watched an interview w/ Eddie Newton about the situation on SSN. Freakin' ridiculous. The club has always had bad public relation gaffs, but this takes the cake

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

A stand needs to be named after him.

[Shane 2,275]

Give him the job already!

Gah!

I was trying to figure out Roman's logic for this stalling and this is all I can come up with.

• Roman wants to give Bobby the job
  
• He wants to have Pep in line just in case Bobby screws up
  
• Bobby won't take kindly to another 'test' season with a 12-month contract
  
• Roman can give Bobby the contract he deserves, but he runs the risk of Pep running away
  
• If Pep runs away and Bobby turns out flop Chelsea is royally screwed
  

In this particular case, I say fuck logic. Just give him the job and ride the wave. Plus when Mourinho wins the CL with Madrid in all probability he'll be available.

Will be absolutely gutted for Robbie if he doesn't get the job, just keep thinking about him climbing the steps and shouting "I won it!" to Roman. WTF do you have to do to have a totally secure job as manager of Chelsea... apparently even now the Champions league isn't enough.

One thing that is probably counting against Robbie now was his playing style when managing us. Obviously, he did the right thing by implementing the style that suits the team to get those results, unlike AVB but that is what Roman probably not conviced with right now.

Robbie did the best with what we had & strolled off with 2 cups. If he was given the job & time to create his own team then we wouldn't be playing how we did against Barca & Bayern.
