RDM Sacked. Who's next?

[Milan 17,854]

Look, I just heard this, coming back from Plsen in Czech...

I know I'm usually first person moaning on match threads, but seriously try some Czech beer - really calms you down

What brought you in here? :-)

[bluephoenix 1,126]

we are making an example out of every manager that fails

i can't believe we are shocked about this? aren't we already used to this ? our board is ready to press the panic button(firing the manager) at the first sight of consecutive defeats

Mourinho rips City a new one tonight, announces that he's stepping down to take over at Chelsea, and smacks City again at the weekend.

[couris 232]

Welcome Pep.

[Strike 7,217]

Rafa Benitez, Avram Grant, Harry Redknapp

where does that leave us in terms of candidates? Pep Guardiola

Say what you like about Roman's manager method's, but it get result's.

If you worship trophys yer, but at what cost.

[Jase 43,479]

I'm surprised that Sven Goran Eriksson hasn't been mentioned at all...

[headhunter23 70]

as one legend would say, this is a fucking disgrace

[DYC. 7,542]

I don't see how you can blame him entirely for what happened at Inter, didn't they also fire their next manager after him? it was more of a problem with the team, the team he had said he needed money to improve.

Also at Chelsea he won't be be main person in charge of transfers, he can say he wants players and Roman + the board will try to make it happen.

I don't know much about his tactics so no comment there, but they seemed to work a lot against Chelsea.

When the players are negative about the coach, I'm always skeptical. You usually get the typical political correct responses but when they're negative, that's not good. And for a club to fire a manager so quickly and him not get a job for almost two years..

And I personally don't like what he did at Liverpool. They weren't fun to watch and they didn't win much. He had enough money and time to build a good team.

If it's purely till the end of the season then I won't complain too much. But I don't see how he could do much better than Di Matteo at all.

We have had stability in other ways in the club, owner and club captain for example, Arsenal and United throw their captain armband around like confetti and have numerous problems upstairs, is that any worse than changing manager all the time?

In Roman as owner and Terry as captain, we have imo had more than enough stability to get us through all the manager changes.

[dave30 728]

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.

If you valued Chelsea over Trophy's/winning you would back RDM over Roman EVERY SINGAL day of the week.

[Leif 6,006]

If we sign Sven to take over I will cry.

I'm also surprised to see that odds of Avram Grant taking over are 40/1!!!!

[nachikethas 1,149]

im scared will he sack us?

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Alright now that we are done with cursing the board, let's try and change the discussion a bit:

Am I the only one who thinks that Pep is a much bigger risk than Rafa?

[TorontoChelsea 4,064]

Agree broadly with this.

http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/tomchiversscience/100190878/it-makes-almost-literally-no-difference-who-replaces-roberto-di-matteo-as-chelseas-manager/

Managers don't make that much of a difference. Talent makes a massive difference. It's for this reason that firing and hiring managers all the time makes no sense. It doesn't actually change the results long-term. One thing managers can do is bring a sense of command to the club. No Chelsea manager can have that right now because their positions are far too tenuous. Mancini could banish Tevez. Ferguson and Wenger can sit anyone they want. Players now that every manager we bring in is just 4 or 5 bad games away from getting fired. Why listen to what he says?

[Leif 6,006]

I hope Robbie gets a nice little job in Italy.

I can see him taking over at a club like Pescara personally.
