Official - AVB confirmed as Chelsea boss

[Sheva. 5,373]

He is all the way in South America for Copa America. How would he know?

Have to question how much a player could know but that's very interesting.

What if, he already called his favourite players, telling them he's leaving?

[Tomo 21,751]

Hopefully this will be for the long haul.

Guardiola went straight to Barca and put Busquets and Pedro in the first team from the youth system, lets hope AVB does the same with Josh and Milan

[Styles 9,790]

wrong.

I created that timeless topic myself: "Official: Carlo Sacked", and announced to everyone the good news on the official website.

[Mário César 1,327]

You tell me. Should I be happy.

All I know about him is his good job with Porto, but its not that difficult to win Portuguese League with Porto, and he also won EL, but many lesser managers also won it.

I don't if he is a master of the game, or if he play defensive or offensive football. What can you tell me about him ?

If he is really a "mini-mourinho" then I'm far from happy.

I think there are reasons for the Chelsea's fans to be happy. He's an excellent coach.

Well, you're right. It's not difficult to become champion with Porto, but it's difficult to to become champion only with 3 draws. And talking about Europa League, he won it, and the team gave a show in the field in all the matches. There are very good results.

The team played, almost everytime, very good. There were a phase were the things weren't very good, but the soccer played, in general, was beautiful. He is very good tacticly. He has an excellent reading of the game, I mean, he knows how to handle with the team, and generally the substitutions are correct.

In EPL, the most important is to have a coach that's very good in the tactic's field. In my point of view, that's the key to become successeful. And he is a a master in that field. So, there are reasons for the fans to be satisfied.

I think the fans can expect a better Chelsea, a much better Chelsea.

I just want him to be announced as our manager now lol, i'm happy that he likes to play good football and put on a show, it should be interesting what he will do in the summer in terms of who's in and who's out. Also the good thing is that he hasn't won the champions league before so he will be as eager as any one to win it.

But does anyone think that he is in on the transfers, like Lukaku, De Bruyne, Modric ?

[magicrico 175]

Understand your concerns.

However such risks could pay massive dividends for us instead of him. He's a very promising young manager & we should take such risks if we do really want to build a long term future. Yes it could go wrong like you're saying but it could go the other way.

Arsene Wenger only spent 1 year at the club he was at before Arsenal when they hired him and look what he's done for them (minus the last 7-8years).

I hear you. BUT i just think IF we are going to stick with him fair enough, chances of that? slim. Noone since JM has lasted more than a couple of seasons, no time to settle. This is Chelsea, bad results = OUT. Arsenal have had patience with Wenger, too much if you ask me. Last 6 years they haven't been near the standard required, they have been around but not really close.

I just can see this being a massive waste of cash AGAIN. There must be more viable options out there. I hope i'm wrong but financially this could be a poor move.

Dont think the transfer targets will change! Maybe he will want one or two other players!

[Tomo 21,751]

His tactics report is insane, ive got a feeling that this guy will be perfect for us, lets just hope we don't pull the trigger finger to early because if we let this guy slip i will feel sick

[Henrique 9,133]

Yeah, the history of this club would work against us hoping he's a long-term solution.

Hopefully Roman's had a change of hear though & decided to stick with this one for the full length of his contract.

[bababoom 4,478]

Apparently best of Poyet is on now.

Its time to stop the long-term talk.

Long term is not the solution for everything.

[termninja 5,290]

People are saying that he is too young. That could be, but being young can also help him to get along with players better, and for them to look at Andre as a friend and not as their boss.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

By long-term I mean allowed the time to achieve the goals laid out for him.

Yeah, it's that ^

[Cosmin 2,484]

This is why being a Chelsea fan is so hard.

[Henrique 9,133]

By long-term I mean allowed the time to achieve the goals laid out for him.

If we have 2 trophyless season he must get the axe. 1 is acceptable. 2 is not.

edit: no 2 trophyless seasons, but 2 pathetic seasons as the last one under Carlo.

He might do a good job and still win no trophy. But if he has the same performance as Carlo, then he must be fired.

That precisely us the problem. You need a manager that the player should fear like Mou and Guus. Carlo was more like a friend. When your subordinates start thinking of you as a friend then there is complacency and it affects the efficiency of the team. That is one of the problem I see with the signing. The other is players like Drogba, Terry, lampard, Cole, cech will still see him as Mourinho's post man and not take him seriously as a Manager. Terry, Drogba, anelka, Torres are the ones I fear who have the player power in the team.
