strong centreback 157 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 If it aint broke don't fix it, so far robbie is doing a great job he has the older players back on side and is getting a performance out of them when it matters, he's got torres scoring, he showed tactical nouse in beating barcelona over two legs and he will be given the slack from the fans when/if results hit a lull due to his stature from he's playing days (not to mention if he were to win that final on the 19th).If we were to get guardiola can anyone say in all certainty that he could do for us what he done at barca? same as jose potentially coming back who's to say he could do what he done here originally? there are no guarantees that either would work so for me it seems stupid to get rid of somebody who is working, whether he can build a new team or do it for a whole season who knows but there is only one way to find out.

Joker10 946 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I firmly believe RDM will get the job, but if Pep Guardiola is available then is there no chance Roman pass up the opportunity to sign him. Roman loves Barca football way too much, he will sign him if Pep wants to continue managing.\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rambo 1,729 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 One thing's for sure, if we win the CL and he doesn't get the job it would be an absolute travesty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Would RDM consider being an assistant again though? After this campaign I'm sure he'll have options of being a manager at other clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superblue 6,372 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I find it interesting that Marin has come out today and talked about his discussions with Robbie prior to making the move. Robbie outlined his vision for the club, both short and long term, and Marin lapped it up. Also with all the talk that Robbie has had input and been told to keep himself available for the club's pre season arrangements, he has to be at the forefront of the minds of the board.I agree with many, the club cannot lose if they give him a year contract to show what he is capable of over the course of a full season. If he proves as successful as he has this season give him an extension further down the line. If he doesn't then we can let him leave at the end of next season for no compensation and Roman can bring in Guardiola, fresh from a break, again for no compensation.Another thing to consider with the FFP rules is that Robbie is apparently only on £1.2m pa. If we were to increase it to even £2-2.5m, his wages would still be massively lower than the big names out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why shouldn't he get the job full time? And you think he should be Guardoila's assistant? He just bet Guardolia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laylabelle 9,535 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 And I defended him and yep still here....Di Matteo has turned things around,moral is there,results coming in...question in mind how long will it last espically with the players we have but he deserves a chance to prove himself and be given a whole season.He can see from working with AVB and then taking over what works,what doesnt who needs to go etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we are in a UCL final, in a FA Cup final and we still can fix the damage he did and get at least a 4th place in Premier League.It was so pathetic that people in this forum were saying bad things about guys like Lampard, Drogba and Terry. Thats was just crazy. I did not know that the obsession with "keeping the current manager at any cost" would go that far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVB is a talented, yet inexperienced Manager. This was part of his downfall at Chelsea, but the other part was the Players. AVB had the job of transforming Chelsea for the future, but the Old Guard didn't like that idea. Yes, they are legends but they treated AVB poorly and not for the first time, gave up on the Manager and waited for Roman to swing his Managerial Axe.

Changingman_2000 876 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 In hindsight, the appointment of AVB was an utter disaster. He alienated half the team to what benefit? one or two early season results (5-0 away to Bolton) looked decent enough but he was naive against Liverpool, Man Ure, Arsenal, etc. Looking back, we were lucky to beat the likes of Norwich and West Brom at home, very poor season indeed. The press started to bang on about the likes of Lampard (33) and Terry 31!) being over the hill but little said about Ferdinand, Scholes and Giggs.AVB let things fester and ultimately paid for it. Robbie has been like a breath of fresh air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
