Official - Carlo sacked

[zolayes 14,489]

It's disgusting the way that the club I've been supporting for as long as I can remember is being treated like a toy. No wonder other fans hate us so much.

and now they can mock us again as the club without class

[MetsajCFC 1,255]

The odds:

Andre Villas-Boas 2/1

Jose Mourinho 7/2

Guus Hiddink 7/2

Harry Redknapp 4/1

Pep Guardiola 7/1

Marco van Basten 10/1

Didier Deschamps 12/1

Frank Rijkaard 14/1

Rafa Benitez 16/1

Martin O'Neill 16/1

Sven-Goran Erikkson 33/1

I remember when Carlo joined, he was hailed as the long term manager we had been waiting for.

So much for that.

Yeah, and most will do the very same upon the appointment of the next manager.. Sad state of affairs that we now have to wait a minimum 2 seasons to make a claim like that now.

I suppose this forum will lose a lot of members now. There's alot of Carlo FC supporters on here,I'll say bye to you all and good luck supporting Roma,West ham or wherever Carlo ends up.

IQ48?

[Laylabelle 9,534]

But what is the alternative?. Do you wanna have a club fighting for survival every season and have no name players with no future and only dream about Champions League?.

My points is that Abramovich intentions has been clear since day one, he will buy succes til he succeeded, at all coasts!.

I want to see stablity basically,knowing come the end of the season if a Manager hasnt got 1st place of whatever then they'll get to stay on.No get the sack and be on the look out for another one.Wont feel confident with who we get cause you know we wont be seeing them for longer then least 2 seasons. Heck Jose was succesful,won something every year and even he got the sack so not much hope for anyone really.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

You just don't get it. This is not about Roman, this is not about Carlo........This is about Chelsea FC.

Carlo deserves a hell of a lot of respect from the fans for what he managed to do not only this season, but the season before. This was imo a bigger achievement than winning the double considering the amount of constrictions that were forced upon him. He inherited a very good squad in his double winning season, so to have a good chunk of that squad ripped away from him and then attempt to bring...sorry....force youngsters through to plug the gaps and still manage to finish second and come within touching distance of another title. I think that deserves more than a kick up the hole and a get the fuck out.

He had the experience and ability to be Chelsea manager for many years and create a legacy at the club. If we continue to panic and get shafted of anyone who doesn't win the CL within Romans desired expiry date, then we'll continue to be fans who've been cheated out of long term success. dont get me wrong, I'm greatful for Romans impact on the club, but he seriously needs to sit down and rethink his actions if he wants Chelsea to be a real force in World Football.

We deserve better......

How can we win the double then have the board want stability by selling the sub bench that was key to that success and bring no one in and expect Ancelotti to do better? This is disgraceful, Man Utd didn't do it when Ferguson won nothing a few years back and we shouldn't have as if we invested in the squad like we are rumoured to Carlo could have done the same as he did last season and I am sure whoever we bring in won't be used to the English game or not of as high calibre as Carlo.

Spot on.

[kongdaniel 34]

This was very disappointing... It seems that a lot of people forget about the great attacking football Chelsea played last season and the double.....

How is Chelsea going to build a winning squad? Chelsea need stability, like any other club...

Very sad to hear about this.

Thanks for everything, Carlo, you were great!

[MetsajCFC 1,255]

I'm not even convinced of Villas-Boas, a big hype from the British meida, rubbish as always.

Thats right, but he questioned Abramovich. I would focus on the people around Abramovich if i should change anything in this club. But dont get me wrong i agree totally with your statements,

this is not the right way to lead a club.

[Peace. 4,352]

I think you're probably right. Basically, the board never think long-term till Chelsea are crowned European Champions.

I wouldn't say "never think", but "never thought". I mean, it seems to be clear that Roman wants to bring stability to Chelsea, his investments in the academy just prove that. So maybe right now he really wants to apply a long term plan and he believes Carlo Ancelotti isn't the right man to bring us stability... If that so, then he has made the right choice.

And before say we don't think about "long term" and "stability", I believe we should wait and see who is the coach appointed, and what kind of players are bought. Afterward, we will be able to say "damn, Roman is still desesperate to win the Champions League" or "Cool, it seems we have a real lon-term plan".

I want to know why was fired. If it's because we didn't win anything this season, it's a stupid decision.

If it's because Roman doesn't think he fits the club's future plans, fair enough. But he better stick with the new manager then.

Yep, I'm also curious to know the reason(s). I hope it is because he (Abramovitch) doesn't think Ancelotti is a long-term manager.

This guy it the wisest one in this forum, his Jimi Hendrix avatar just reinforces it!!!

Ahah, thanks ^^

I cant believe how everyone is so upset with Roman Abramovich over this...I for one im thrilled that we have such a generous owner who does not tolerate failure. I see loads of comments from Arsenal fans on various sites saying how disgusting this is and how can Chelsea ever expect to do well if they keep changing managers, well they have stuck with theirs and its worked out wonderfully for them in recent years!

The bottom line is that this season is just not good enough by Chelsea standards, and I hope we never drop those standards!

He's younger then Mourinho was and he is beating his records already.
