Let's be honest...

I can see how it might be disrespectful to chat about other managers than RdM so again I digress..

The current side is in a transitional phase. You cannot speed up change, Guardiola would have problems too with our team as they are just adjusting as would Mourinho. Basically whoever manages us for the next 2,3 or even 4 years be it Robbie or whoever else will know its going to be a phase were they the teams adjusting to the philosophy that's being instilled in the club. AVB was right with what he said when he was just appointed, the team is a long term project, it will take time.

good point, and most of the players probably need more playing time with each other still. if we dont make too many changes to the squad we should be in a great position ahead of next season

Let's be honest.. There's no need for this thread. Why can't we just get behind the manager 100% for at least a full season why do we need to discuss the possibility of other managers? We're not exactly struggling right now are we?

[Reddish-Blue 2,347]

Not entirely convinced about RDM just yet. If he can get our shaky defence sorted out, then keep him as the manager for the long term.

Would be awesome to see the Special one back at Chelsea at some point in the future.

who's not behind the manager?

results wise we're not struggling. performance wise I would say yes (to a certain extent) right now but it's a transitional period as been pointed out

So what's the need to talk about other managers if everyone's behind him?

I think Robbie is the right man for the job. Jamie Redknapp was spot on when he called RDM a "good manager, but more importantly he is a lucky manager". Being a lucky manager is not a bad thing - Rafa Benitez is a lucky manager, to some extent so are many of the best coaches in European football. RDM is not the most tactically-astute of managers but it is clear he is able to motivate his squad successfully, and in fairness, the changes he has made recently to both the starting elevens and our substitutes have won us games. He is the man to stick by.

>> RdM needs at least 2 full seasons, he will come good

>> he will come good

>> come good

??????????????????

[Strike 7,217]

Judge him after 2 seasons

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Some people thinking if Pep or Mou comes, we will be winning everything from beggining is funny. Every team needs some time.

[Madmax 9,219]

Pep and Mourinho are both welcome here anytime .. to shine Robbie's boots.

Funny thing that 'luck' concept - isn't luck when preparation meets opportunity?

>> RdM needs at least 2 full seasons, he will come good >> he will come good >> come good

Maybe the OP meant something else by "coming good"?

[Fhaarkas 39]

To be honest I like Robbie D better than Mourinho (the guy's a merc.. top class, lovable merc but a merc nonetheless) and I wouldn't want to see Chelsea players get turned into a bunch of divers so yeah.

I already adressed this but it's up to you if you want to read or not before posting

I already gave him credit for playing his part in bringing success

rdm is the man and he deserve boards trust. but i voted for mourinho not because want rdm out of chelsea i like our special one more than anyone...

too bad we cant hire two managers

[Rambo 1,729]

RDM deserves a lot more respect and should be given the opportunity to work with this squad over a 2 year period. He understands the culture of the club and is a great motivator. The way the players fight for him is inspiring and nice to see for a Chelsea fan.
