The Next Manager?

[DJames 729]

Seems Pep is off to Bayern....we just may be stuck with Rafa

[dave30 728]

Makes sense - we've already got a Joke for a manager.

Surely Zola and Poyet are in the barrel before we have to go scraping around at the bottom.

As Liquidator has already said no more legends should face humiliation at the hands of the brat and his mob.

[laeth 527]

Rafa will stay on now.

[magicrico 175]

Should I be the first to say this....Unless Roman swallows his pride with Jose....

We're fucked..........

again...

Apparently, Guardiola didn't feel he would be given time to implement his ideas and philosophy at Chelsea.

Well well, Abramovich. Looks like sacking managers constantly really has fucked us over.

Very,Very good.

I would have liked Guardiola, but my first choice has always been Jose anyway. The only problem is that if Jose decides to stay at Real or got to City instead, our Plan B would suck

I'm actually glad, I rate Guardiola highly but I'd rather get Mourinho or stick with Benitez IF Rafa proves himself further in the second half of the season. Let's admit it, he has done great, minus the game against QPR, others have been 90% because players haven't showed up.

Sorry....I've supported Benitez because in the short term we needed to and it was best for the club, but there is no fucking way I can see myself supporting that fat fucking cunt long-term.

I'm sorry, but I've supported this club in it's decisions because I thought there was some grand plan. Well that's fucked now.

Come home, Jose.

For christ sake, come home.

How is hiring the guy we sacked because he couldn't work with the owner a good idea????

[Corner 456]

How funny would it be if Roman tried to sign Tito?

[Milan 17,955]

Good, Guardiola is officially over.

José, you're the only one!

[oxfordblues 299]

just seen.so who we gonna call.GHOSTBUSTERS

[Styles 9,790]

This is a massive slap in the face for the board/Roman and you know what? They deserve it. They've shown a lack of class in dealing with people for so long thinking money fixes everything. I hope this humbles them a lot.

You might be right in that sense. No point appointing a manager, regardless how good or bad he does, to a longer term contract if large porportion of the fans are against him, wouldn't make sense. Let's just look at our home support compared to fantastic away support and results. You've got a fair point...

Who then? Mourinho would be welcome in the eyes of the fans, but Abramovic?

[Azpinator 2,325]

THANK GOD, I hate Guardiola.

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,920]

Benitez has just got himself a long term job then....

[magicrico 175]

best start praying now before we are fucked....

We could struggle here and end up with Torres and Fat Fuck for the forseeable future...GULP

Why dont you guys see this as a good thing? He goes to Bayern to prove he can manage without Iniesta/Xavi/Messi, if he does that successfully then I'd want him, but NOT now, still unproven for me.

I think he'd still be unproven even if he's successful at Bayern, he will inherit a great squad and should easily win the Bundesliga and probably will do well in the Champions League without the expectation to win it every year.

Can't blame him for taking the easy job where he should have instant success. This Chelsea squad has some good young players but Mata and maybe Ramires aside no one really at their peak. Would've taken a couple of years at least I would've thought to get us winning the league.

I'm inclined to call bollocks on that. What's the source?
