The Next Manager?

[Rmpr 8,977]

People feel free to re-vote by the way. I've removed the Guardiola option because he's gone and I've added Wenger because someone asked for him. If anyone wants anymore options added, feel free to ask.

I've also removed the Benitez option because you're not allowed to vote for him.

You could add Blanc (not that I will vote for him, but some might). Also, there are members who would honestly want Benitez, *chough* Sheva. *cough*.

At the end of the day I want to watch Chelsea win. I couldn't care less how they do it.

It's not about you though (not in a harsh way), it's about Roman. Over the past two years he's invested in a specific type of player so that we can play the expansive brand of football he craves. The final piece of the jigsaw (for Roman), was Guardiola. It makes zero sense for Jose to return. Does Jose care about style? No, he's a winner. Would Jose come back only to be told what to do again? No. He believed in Pep's philosophy to the point where he was the ONLY option.

At the end of the day, Roman put all his eggs in one basket hoping (relying) on Pep coming to us. Those eggs have cracked open and slapped him in the face.

oh come on dude... thats not fair. one copa del ray, one la liga and 2 semi finals in 2 seasons is definitely success. RM might be having a bad season right now but its still not over (they are in copa del ray, they are still in CL) and i dont think we need to go very far back in history to see a club winning CL who dint have a good season in their league...

I think Henrique is kind of right. I mean, it is not failure, but is definetly is not success. In 3 years he will finish twice behind Barcelona (in a two horse race) and he might even finish behind Atletico (which is unthinkable for Madrid fans). Also, I can not imagine how Real fans felt when losing that semi-final against Pep.

Eihter way, if he wins La Decima, everything will be fine. His job depends solely on UCL!

he learned from his mistake. 5-0 was a tactical disaster trying to defend against barca with the team RM has. i do remember benzema scoring off valdes mistake in one of the many el classicos last year which goes on to show that the idea of parking the bus was totally dropped (i think the goal was in the first 10 minutes with the score being 0-0 and no reason for desperation)..

we are not as good as RM RIGHT NOW but with the likes of mata, hazard, oscar, kdb, coming to the fray and becoming the players every1 tips them to become we can be awesome. even right now if we had a striker like BA upfront instead of the blonde whore from the start of the season (i dont like to think what we would have been with some1 like falcao) we would have been in CL, probably pretty much in the title race if not the leaders. (so i think u r underestimating the team a little)

bayern was a given... that was just sane and good management.i think most managers would have done that. plus RM almost pulled it off in the allianz arena if not for the coentrao error.

Actually forget what i said lol, there's no need to worry about being defensive in this league because i don't believe Man city and Man utd are far better than us. We're just lacking in maybe 2-3 positions to have a really good team. If Mourinho comes here he has to address that and we will be good to go.

Very good point

we should've never sacked AVB

We should never sacked José, Carlo and Robbie (and Ray Wilkins), but AVB is a cunt...

but thats the point of it. this is season is not over yet (and we as chelsea fans should definitely understand this thing. at this point last year we were crying over CL football with the CL trophy nothing more than a dream and a fantasy and in my opinion RM are in a much better position to pull off a CL win than we were at any point of time last year)

. we should judge him on his last 2 seasons which have been really good for RM considering some of the hammerings they were getting in el classicos, their trophy draught (i m not sure about this but i think they dint win anythin for some seasons) and most importantly their CL form before jose came in.

this season has been an utter disaster for RM but i hope that they do win the CL (i cant stand the idea of any other big team winning team given that the other biggest contenders are barca, united, bayern and juve)

Tried to filter out the (presumably media-fed) assumptions and all I see is rhetorical questions and a couple of instances where you state the obvious.

Who is FWS?

FSW = Fat Spanish Waiter = Rafa

I dont hope Abramovich decides to think about Mancini, would he leave City in the summer

[didierforever 7,349]

all this aside, who here thinks that pep will be successful at bayern?

One thing that Pep has proven himself good at is building a strong team. But I'm unsure whether he'll be able to recruit enough young talent like he could from La Masia. He's going to need to work with a team filled with experienced legends. To make that team work to his liking is going to be a tough job.

in my opinion bayern is going to have a hard time.

on the lighter side to things - now we can actually see robben passing the ball or will we??

LOL no way

Never - I will eat my hat - if that happens

Ha Guradriola signing once again for a team that guarantees domestic titles cos 80% of the opposite teams are simply shit. One might have thought Guardiola would have wanted to prove himself in the best league of the world, where every game is a challenge instead of the least competitive league in the world Blindeliga.

No idea who is RAs primary option now. I'll check the odds.

[YouNameIt 1,511]

I was telling people Pep wont join us, but noooo, OF COURSE he would join Chelsea and Im stuipid.

Anyways, awesome news. Never wanted him to come.
