The Next Manager?

[CHOULO19 24,332]

That's the easiest question i'll ever have to answer. Please come home Jose and give Lampard a new contract. Jose would never let Ash n Lamps go.

Not true. Jose liked them when they were young. But look at what he did to Raul at Madrid.

Unfortunately, Lampard would be off before José was announced I guess. Only if José would be arranged before the season ends to have some say but that does not seem likely.

No idea if he's ready for a step up or not, but I wouldn't mind Poyet. His team play possibly the most attractive football in the country in my opinion.

Zola's doing a good job too.

Not way the way they'll be treated by the board...dont deserve it after what they did for the club as players

Just lol about Pep!You knew it was gana happen though...wonder what plan B is..if even is one!Rafa woooo!Grant woooo!Roman as manager wooo!Random bloke in seat 43!

I get what you're saying. I respect Rafa for what he has done to Chelsea so far and having RESPECT for someone does not make me or you any less fan like some try to indicate. We are playing more tactical football, our defense is better.. now I hope people won't start to draw comparisons that I like Rafa more than RDM because I dont, but I have respect for him regardless of what other people think who usually just want to 'howl with the wolf pack' to fit in so to say. For obvious reason it's easier to bash Rafa for every bad decision he has done and completely ignore times when he should be praised. This is life, people have popular beliefs and unpopular, just stick with your own opinion and dont let some muppet tell what's right whats not. We are all Chelsea fans and digging in old quotes wont make someone more of a fan. In my honest opinion it was wrong to sack Ancelotti, but that's history and a different story. History belongs to the past... onwards and upwards.

As we both know, Chelsea fans should not get on the hatred wagon, just cos some idiot indicated so.

Of course, Chelsea is playing more tactical, thanks to Rafa. Was I happy to see Chelsea winning CL ? Yes, I was in tears, then. I jumped out of my seat I almost fell on my butt, then. Was I happy the way we won it ? No, I was not.

As far as I am concern, RDM does not even come close to Rafa as a coach, I feel.

Whether, someone ridicules me here. I would say, be it. I will stand my ground, no matter what.

Well, he said himself that Lamps was the best professional he has ever worked with so I would say and believe he would surely love to coach him again.

Fucking great, i just read the news about Guardiola. I am not a big fan but i would have liked to see him here. I can't say that i blame him though, i doupt that any top manager wants to join us with the way that Roman and our board run our club. Anyway, Klopp was and still is my number one choice so i can i only hope we can get him.

[communicate 2,703]

I would love Klopp here now that Pep is gone to Bayern.

He's a great guy, very down-to-earth. He's fairly reserved when it comes to the media and wouldn't bring any drama to our club. He gets on extremely well with his players. And he plays attractive attacking football, which would please Roman and the fans.

He is building a very good team. I doubt he want to leave dortmund next season

[gr123 167]

Mourinho? Fuck no. Great memories but best left at just that - memories.

Look at the state of Real at the moment anyway - Mourinho can't be arsed with them anymore so he doesn't give a shit.

[Milan 17,853]

I would kill to see this at the Bridge next season!

[bushman 2,043]

first of all the losses were barely when "he had inherited the team"... i m not talking about the fulham game where this "excuse" might work... secondly, for converting of chances, do u actually believe we dint deserve to win the wba game or the liverpool draw or did we deserve to lose the game to united which started the ""slump"" and what if hazard and mata had taken their one on one chances against the juve... so lets not go into the debate of what might have happened if we had taken our chances. both qpr and swansea games were for a major part his mistake, for uneccesarily resting mata and hazard for the first one when the next match was an fa cup match and not making changes sooner even though we were trailing since 38th minute in the swansea match.

He is the coach, if I may point out. Players are the ones who should score goals.

Idealy we need someone who hasnt got a long term plan and just wants a pay out..sod anyone looking to last longer then 2 years..

Rafa benching Torres I doubt is working in his favour lol if he wants it

Jose tends to say A LOT of stuff. Besides, the Lampard contract is probably the board's decision.

[bluephoenix 1,126]

Guardioala to Bayern Munich !!! Bring the Special One back !

[Ollie 4,400]

He never coached Raul so that doesn't really matter. But actually come to think of it, you may be right. Look at how he has been to Carvalho this season. I still believe he would try n get them to carry on though considering what their relationship was.

Definitely. It would have to be some kind of a condition under which José would agree to go to Chelsea.

I believe early in the season mou said that carvalho is not part of his plan and he should leave

so then dont make him the reason we are winning. what sense does this make? if we lose its because the players screwed up but if we win then it was because of rafa's mind-blowing and out of the world tactics.

[Tomo 21,733]

I laugh when i see comments of no top club would want to work here, just because our owner has a hiring and firing reputation. What the media don't like to cover is that other owners are just as bad if not worse than Roman, Massimo Morratti for example.

Infact Bayern are hardly the most stable club themself's.

Manager's like a challenge and their is no better one than what they will come across here at Kings Road. They get to work with world class players, have practically an unlimited budget to strengthen when and where they see fit. Getting sacked by Roman is hardly a reputation killer anyway, there will always be other owners that will fall for the "hard done by" line the media spin on us every time.

If manager's get the Chelsea job right, they get medal's round their neck reputation enhanced, if it doesn't work out they get a pay off which will practically gain them financial security for life and get another big job with their reputation at worst taking a temporary hit. Chelsea is a dream job for ambitious, confident managers.

Roman wants a long term manager, just not for the sake of it, you only need to look at Newcastle now for the danger of that formula.
