Milan 17,957 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 We have offices in Vimperk and Plsen + StenoviceAbsolutely love Plsen since the Skoda factory stopped polluting it, has an amazing Town Sq and great Church.Plus, Czech people are really nice, women are gorgeous - but approachable and the blokes are friendly - e.g not looking for trouble....So hopefully back again in Jan and quite a bit more in the future Driving via Munich is also 1 hour quicker, even tho 100km longer!!!! Crazy So after all that, needed my dose of TalkChelsea Lovely to see you enjoy staying in the country! Plsen really is a beautiful city, and the beer, right!

Hamilton 2,120 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Panic reaction from RA, so sad.. If he bought RDM a decent striker last summer, this never happend..I think it will go between Benitez and Pep.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karaclouds 47 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Great to wake up on your birthday and find out that this happens, thanks Chelsea! Anyway, although I thought that Roman and the board only gave RDM the job due to the THAT victory and Pep's refusal, I didn't think he would be out. Aren't they forgetting our great run of form? But only way Roman can do if we are on the slippery slope of exiting the Champion's League is too fire the manager. Oh well, another bites the dust eh? I don't get why Benitez is linked to the job, liverpool blood...I'm sure blondie is happy! KTBFFH, but maybe not quite - today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rmpr 8,977 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 In a way, yes because I think expectations for Guardiola would be insane. No new manager would be able to come in and suddenly turn Chelsea into the Premier League champions or something.I don't think who the manager is matters much, Chelsea just need to find someone, let that person have a greater say in transfer policy, and actually stick with him for at least a few years even if that means accepting disappointing results.Pep will only come by these terms, I am sure. Roman must give it to someone he trusts, I dont care if it is right or wrong anymore, just dont want us to fire a manager per year.I disagree a good manager does not make an impact. The players are the most important aspect of the game, but the coach has some very important jobs. A great coach does not win titles, but a bad one certainly loses them.

xPetrCechx 13,571 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Isn't Avram manager of Partizan? If so i don't see anyone leaving a full time role for an interim role, neither do i see us paying compensation to break a contract.Avram Left Partizan after he won the Title...

Blue Gino 377 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Thank you Robbie. Thank you for the amazing comeback vs Napoli, the victory over Barcelona heard around the world and bringing tears of joy to my eyes on that historic night in Munich. Oh and the look on that scumbag Platini's face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorontoChelsea 4,064 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I disagree a good manager does not make an impact. The players are the most important aspect of the game, but the coach has some very important jobs. A great coach does not win titles, but a bad one certainly loses them.I agree somewhat with this. I think most managers can win with good teams. Nobody thinks Grant was a particularly good manager, but Chelsea were fantastic under him and we were unlucky not to win the CL. RDM was not regarded particularly highly as a manager, but we won the CL with him. Where managers can make a big difference is negatively. If a manager can't communicate with players either personally or with his tactics, the team will suffer. Overall though, if you get a manager who can communicate properly and knows his football, I don't think it matters all that much which manager you choose. Any manager would do well at Barca and every manager will do poorly with Reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo 21,751 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 We really need to stop slagging Roman off. He is an ambitious owner who loves the club he may make decision's we don't agree with but at the end of the day he wants the same thing for this club, success.He changes manager more than the norm yes but as Terminator_X said Arsenal are rich in managerial stability and look where that's got them.

Styles 9,790 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I don't believe they would sack Di Matteo and get an interim manager again to keep things ready for Guardiola next summer. I think Guardiola has come to a decision and told the club whether he's taking the job or not.Here's my theory; Guardiola has told them he is not interested now and won't be interested next summer. Benitez is the new long-term (if such a thing exists at Chelsea) manager methinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barcelona will still win and Reading will still lose, but you can make Barça win by 4-0 (Pep) or by 3-2 (Tito). You can see the difference in Barcelona`s tactics...

Kieran. 6,317 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Although, I didn't think we could become world-beaters under DiMatteo. We would have had to cut ties sooner or later, but to give him such little time is criminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
