Official - Carlo sacked

[Term-X 7,891]

Sure is a nice guy.

The antithesis of Mourinho or Ferguson however. Never challenges the footballing authorities, or referees decisions, Never plays any mind games.

I'm thinking winning managers need a ruthless, almost nasty streak, and vehement defence of their players and last season as with Grant he inherited the Rolls Royce......

Good point.

I remember Ferguson describing Mourinho. When he first arrived here, as the young gunslinger who has come into town to challenge the sheriff.

True he is a nice guy but i don't think he has it tactically. Look at last season in the champs league at the Bridge against Inter, when we were crying out for something different. He and Wilkins looked confused and clueless on the bench. Yes getting rid of Wilkins has hurt us and it was not Carlo's decision but he should be doing better. Losing 7 league games already this season(the same number as Birmingham) is just not acceptable.

He turned it round last year but I think his luck has ran out. If you consider what previous managers have been sacked for surely he is on borrowed time.

The difference between Carlo and Jose is that when things are going shit, Jose knows why it's going shit and what to do about it. Carlo's Chelsea team looks resigned to losing or not winning if things aint going so well at the start/middle of the match.

Should I wait until the CL game?

[HRiver 1,512]

Wait until we lose to Kopenhagen? There is no way we can beat them, and with this sort of performance, luck, or whatever it may be, we can never ever win the Champions League. We've been better but we haven't managed to win it, we're not going to win it now.

[Styles 9,790]

Time to go Ancelotti. Thanks for the memories.

[Kostas 1,468]

Oh and to get bs out of the way: Cup manager my arse.

[Term-X 7,891]

Carlo's 51 years old. Must be an unlucky number for him.

Area 51 and all that

[We Hate Scouse 10,326]

We've changed managers enough, we find a manager that wins us the double and you want to change him? The fickleness of some of our fans is embarrassing.

Time for me to start getting fickle and embarrassing I think. His tactics are beyond me, woeful!

[Kez 2,727]

It's a shame the lack of respect Carlo is getting after bringing us the double last season.

He has a chance to rebuild the squad in the summer and reform the team. Granted i've disagreed with some of his tactics and dodgy substitions but he's still a great manager and deserves respect from the fans.

Oh and to get bs out of the way: Cup manager my arse.

The fanboys will now tell you it's not every cup just the Champions League.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Talk about inconsistent.

2007/08: No trophies, 2nd place, new manager.

2008/09: FA Cup, 3rd place, 2 new managers

2009/10: Premier League, FA Cup, new manager

2010/11: No trophies, 4th/5th place.

Common trait? New manager. We must secure a long-term manager!!

[eldo 868]

Perfect time for comedians Styles and Kostas.

If you say that they are underperforming is lack of respect. That they are oon their last legs?

You like to twist the tings just to make you look smart.

Oh how stupid am I. I forgot that Kostas, who can't deal with some points, put me on his ignore list.

It looks better when you realise that 2 of them were simple caretakers.
