Heisenberg 1,824 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 He is not a good coach , he must be more 'lucide' , he never managed to have a team that played football at Chelsea , when Robbie Di Matteo took us we managed to win 5-1 vs spurs 5-2 Leiceter 6-1 QPR 4-2 VIlla , we scored a lot more with Di Matteo , Torres getting the Hat trick agains QPR...

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 He certainly deserves some part for winning CL and Facup, Mata is his buy I guess after all, but should seriously never join Spurs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Fuuuuck off AVB,you ain't got no CL trophy But he does have a CL medal if I'm not mistaken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran. 6,317 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 But he does have a CL medal if I'm not mistaken.Is that true? I've heard that, but I thought it was BS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Is that true? I've heard that, but I thought it was BS.I'm not sure, the rule is very vague (only says that the club receives 30 gold medals). But since Players who were not involved in the final but only in previous rounds got medals and since AVB was our manager for more games in the tournament that RDM, I think it follows that he gets a medal as well, but I'm not sure.

Term-X 7,891 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 The headline Sky Sports went with: "Roman quit on me", seems rather redundant now, considering what followed under RDM. Roman was right, take it on the chin AVB..Naïve Villas-Boas.It was 'Andre Naive-Boas', actually.I was the one who christened him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westcountryblue 25 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Well he did manage us through the group stage which we got through, even though mistakes were made, so he does deserve some credit, how much? I'm not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 After winning both the trophies we won, this shouldn't even be talked about, there's no drama or controversy about him being sacked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peace. 4,352 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 "With André Villas-Boas we wouldn't have gone past Napoli and etc..." -> Had Lampard and co spent more time on trying to play well, instead of bitching like spoilt kids, we wouldn't have been in this kind of position, not at all.

robdog 2,084 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 AVB does deserve credit. It was him that brought RDM back to Stamford Bridge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 This is the type of thread that i can see serving about 3 days and getting locked lol. Fact is, we got better when AVB left just like in 2009 we got better when Scolari left. I do think more is being said about his quotes than needs be. It's not a big deal.

Badboy 1,526 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Why even comment Andre ? He should be embarrassed that RDM got the reaction from the players that he did. Drogba at 34 years of age looked like he was rolling back the years with his dominant performances. He turned Mikel into a midfield dog, RDM turned Mikel into a midfield player that dominated the midfield in the biggest cup final in world football. EVEN FUCKING KALOU GAVE US SOMETHING IN A DEFENSIVE WAY ! The fact is he destroyed his relationship with a lot of the players when he basically shit on both Alex and Anelka !

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Thats totally unfair. Did you even think to consider what the reporters' question was? Maybe they were heckling him to get an answer? And he can't just reject the question can he? Did you read the whole quote? Did he ask for a medal? He did not even take credit for the trophies. All he said was he had some part in it which is true to a certain extent.I'm not trying to change your opinion about the man's personality or whatever, but your reaction is way OTT over what is actually a NOTHING comment blown up by the media.He said he deserved credit. The only credit he deserves is for appointing di Matteo as his assistant.Regardless of what he said, I don't like Villas-Boas and I never will. He was annoying when he was our manager, I had to bite my lip because I wanted to slap him every time I saw him on Sky Sports News. He's a morose idiot who thinks he is the prodigal child of Mourinho. He is not. The fact is, he failed at Chelsea. And he could have saved face by not commenting on the Chelsea situation. He's a bitter man, and he will be even more bitter when he sees Spurs crumble next season.Why even comment Andre ? He should be embarrassed that RDM got the reaction from the players that he did. Drogba at 34 years of age looked like he was rolling back the years with his dominant performances. He turned Mikel into a midfield dog, RDM turned Mikel into a midfield player that dominated the midfield in the biggest cup final in world football. EVEN FUCKING KALOU GAVE US SOMETHING IN A DEFENSIVE WAY ! The fact is he destroyed his relationship with a lot of the players when he basically shit on both Alex and Anelka !This.

Tricky 301 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 AVB biggest problem was that he alienated most of the squad. You dont as a 33 tear old coach go in and make it public knowledge that you want to drop or sell most of the established stars then ask them to go out and give 100% each week. It's called man management and his in this instance was appalling (actually hear he has very good man management skills).His second biggest mistake was trying his revolution rather than evolutionary approach to a change in tactics. To change formation and playing style you need to slowly bring in a different type of player. He failed at this, and we were left scrambling for ppl such as Meireles (he best improve because I for one think he was pants last year) on transfer day. I for one don't believe he had any involvement in the Mata signing, most off our transfers are conducted by the scouting network.Most of this stems from the arrogance he showed when ever he was questioned by the media. But as ppl have pointed out he was largely hung out to dry by the Britiah rag papers.I wish him well (but not at the spuds), and think he was slightly hard done by at Chelsea. Think he could be a wonderful manager... Having said that I'm glad he was asked to shuffle on when he was.Come on RDM!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
