RDM Sacked. Who's next?

[edetarod 2,155]

oh god why, seriously why????

what's the fucking point in firing RDM now????

[OneMoSalah 8,810]

4-2-3-1 at Liverpool

Also a 4231 at Inter.

[Hutcho 8,443]

Did any of the players have a problem with RDM?

Maybe players should go on strike for once, as a protest against the management. Never seen that before, but why not.

Oh no lets not make this a farce even more so than it is.

Roberto Di Matteo's dismissal as coach of Chelsea and rumours of his possible replacement have provoked an immediate reaction from supporters of the Champions League holders, with leading figures urging the club to reject one of the main candidates for the empty vacancy, none other than Spaniard Rafa Benitez.

Barely minutes after it had been announced that Di Matteo had been sacked, the chair of the Chelsea Supporters Group, Trizia Fiorellina, told the BBC of her concerns about the former Liverpool, Valencia and Inter Milan coach.

"(Rafael) Benitez will just not be accepted by Chelsea supporters, neither will Avram Grant or Harry Redknapp," she said.

"I simply don't think Benitez is a good manager. He's been out of work for two years now, if he was any good why hasn't any club snapped him up?"

It is not the first time Chelsea supporters have expressed their anger at the thought of Benitez managing their club. When Andre Villas-Boas was fired as Chelsea coach last season and Benitez's name had been linked with the job, Blues fans at Stamford Bridge made it clear they did not want the Spaniard at their club by singing "F*** off Benitez, you're not welcome here."

Oh no Rafa no...Please Pep must come !! Btw Roberto should get more time!! awkward decision !!

[Milan 17,878]

looks like the Man United league game was a big turning point because until then, we had been so brilliant (just remember the game at Spurs). After that, Clattenburg fucked it up and that was it. So thank you Clattenburg, I hope you will never be refereeing again!

[Milan 17,878]

This really hurts

[edetarod 2,155]

Roman, you can suck my El Nino

[TheCount 146]

Were becoming a joke fucking club,

Maybe its time for the fans to call the board or even the big boss to go,

For every good thing they have done, they have fucked something up to.

I for one am sick of romans and the boards shit,

Fucking spineless cunts.

[Sheva. 5,373]

Give Rafa a break, no one else would take the job at this moment lol.

And why are people calling for Mourinho? like he'll just leave freaking Real Madrid in November to come back to Chelsea where he can get fired before January?!

RDM's last words:

"While there is hope you still try and who says Juventus are not going to lose to Shakhtar Donetsk. We just have to make sure we win our last game and 10 points is usually enough. Sometimes it is not but many times it is enough to qualify."

[Rmpr 8,977]

ALRIGHT, ENOUGH WITH THE ROMAN INSULTS!

I know he made some shit moves regarding our coaching staff in the past years, but many of us wouldnt even be fans if it wasnt for him. He has brought us so much...

[Jack Uzzi 54]

Oh no lets not make this a farce even more so than it is.

Somebody just gotta stand up against a crazy man like Abramovich. Sacking your manager just before another important game, while there are no signs of any problems in the squad, etc, it defies all logic. As a CEO or no matter what position in the club you hold, one can only protest against such a ludicrous decision.

[Chelsea? 892]

we fired RDM too quickly if we still had to convince Pep

[chelseathebest 150]

Fuck you Roman.

[DH1988 1,331]

Benitez :-D

[EskWeston 696]

For all the people slating Roman and saying he should go. If you would pick RDM over Roman then you are bonkers.

Yes it is surprising that the club have moved so quickly, but things were looking very difficult for Robbie to turn it around. I guess they did not want to let things get any worse like what happened under AVB.

Bottom line is i can accept the regular changes as long as we stay in the hunt for the titles. People say we are made to look a joke, so what, it's not as if keeping the same manager for 10 years will make the media or anyone other than Chelsea fans like us.

The debatable thing with Ancelotti is he let's teams stagnate, he did it with Milan and was doing the same with us. The best time to appoint Carlo is when your team has the average age of about 25-26 but he will always leave you with a massive rebuilding job afterwards.

Based on what? The rebuilding job is the task of the board. They generally decide who to buy and who not to at Chelsea. Ancelotti didn't waste 75M pounds or so on Torres and Luiz. Managers at Chelsea have much less input in decision making that they do on other clubs and THAT is one of the big problems. As for letting teams stagnate? What the hell does that even mean? It means his teams had success and then didn't have success? His teams didn't get better? That's the same with every manager. You could say that Guardiola let his team stagnate. Barcelona got worse last year. They didn't develop. Ancelotti won the CL with Milan in 03 and 07. He won Seria A in 04. That's a pretty nice period of sustained success. And the 25-26 ages? That's nonsense and it's baffling... and I don't know where it comes from. Ancelotti worked wonders with Rui Costa, Maldini, Inzaghi with Rivaldo and all sorts of other older players. He helped develop Kaka into one of the best players in the world. Pato played brilliantly under him when he was very young. He's a very good manager. I'm amazed at some of the criticisms mangers get leveled at them.
