Official - AVB confirmed as Chelsea boss

[Bluebeard 0]

Mourinho was installed at Porto in 2002, he won the CL in 2004

Ancelotti was installed at Milan in 2001, won the competition in 2003

Every manager needs time, our owner, unfortunately has a dearth of it. I also worry of the fact, whether our players would respect the authority of a 33 year old. The situation could easily become "Mclarenesque". Who's to say, we won't have Vilas Boas, if appointed, addressing players with monikers as JT, Frankie, Ash etc etc.

Obviously, having Wenger as manager is the dream. I just hope the board really gives the manager's position a thought and not appoint the hottest thing in town. We want stability and a manager who can stamp his authority.

I certainly do. Villas-Boas has proven himself to be one of the brightest up-and-coming managers in the world. That's good enough for me.

Mourinho - CL Winner

Scolari - World Cup Winner

Ancelotti - CL Winner

They still weren't good enough to win that big trophy. We simply can't limit ourselves to CL-winning managers when it really doesn't mean anything. Why not have our manager win his first CL WITH US? like Mourinho with Porto, Ancelotti with Milan etc.

The manager that takes the job will know the deal, no trophies = no next season. It is a ridicolous way to run a club but that is Chelsea. We have become a bit of a laughing stock among other clubs, this is not championship manager but real life.......

That said we would be nowhere without Roman and we just have to accept his rules, but 7 managers in 8 years that is embarrasing....

[Blue In Green 86]

Roman should get rid of all pretense and appoint himself manager. He determines the transfer targets, the staff, etc. anyway. Not like it's a big leap for him.

I'm surprised any manager would be willing to work here, seeing as Roman goes through managers more often than most people go through a bog roll/roll of toilet paper.

Most wanted Carlo out.

I like the fact that he plays more youth. Other then that, will see how it goes with him.

I seriously wanted Carlo to stay and didnt think there was a chance on earth that Roman would of sacked such a Brilliant man. Saying that if we replace Carlo with a Manager that has never won anything, I officially think Roman is on Meth lol.

VAN BASTEN NOT A MANAGER!

HE WAS SACKED FROM EVERY PLACE HE BEEN THERE.

MAYBE HE IS A COUNTY MANAGER LIKE SCOLARI.

He has argued and fallen out with nearly every estbalished player he has ever managed. Plus he could not even get Ajax in the top two in the dutch league....

Yeah well but he might be better then Carlo by Roman standards.
