Erm... I think it was a joke.

The google translation was terrible.

Reading just the translation makes it look bad , in a way that the report has an agenda to belittle AVB . Watching the interview - even those who don't speak English would think the guys are goofing on him . Silly article .

A good , long , well-researched read on the new guy :

He has informed Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich that he will make decisions that are likely to upset some of the established stars.

Thats what near enough every Chelsea fan has been crying out for ever since middle of last season, i don't think he will go as far as chucking DD, JT and FL and one go tho.

I'm loving this crazy Boas stuff I just hope some of it is true. He is exactly what this clubs needs, we've become so stale and so many people, not just players, have become far too comfortable with their positions.

Crazy Andre :champions:

I will support every decision AVB makes, even if he decides to let go of Terry and Lampard, He is the best young manager in the world at the moment and he didn't get that title from being stupid. He reminds me of Brian Clough.

Exactly this for me too. I'll be blindly and hopefully looking forward for a bright beginning going forward from this season . Every thing he'll do has the credibility of years of meticulous planning from doing a job behind the scenes without any compromise with detailed due diligence . As a young manager in the best league in the world at a club with the demand for silverware , he'll be doing everything he can to get things right to put his name down in the record books . I've got complete confidence in Villas-Boas , naive as that sounds .

I think were get a "feeling" so to speak about our season come September time.

Last season despite our flying start i could feel something was not quite, right the double season i had a great feeling at that time and in the first 2 Jose years at September i felt we were seriously going places.

Im glad AVB is having a complete overhaul as much as i loved Carlo my one worry about him staying (and i wanted him too) is that he would have kept the same squad and "added to experience" with AVB we won't have that worry as he plans a complete overhaul which in all honesty has been long overdue.

[Term-X 7,891]

With AVB able to stamp his authority on the squad (with Romans permission). It may be enough to keep the players on their toes throughout the season, which can only be a good thing.

[Shane 2,275]

If he does give the squad a overhaul, we must give him time, We can't expect for players to leave that were in the first team, young replacements bought and for them to do a better job right away, If he does conduct it, Judge him on his first season ok, But the jury musn't come out until he's finished the second, which I'd be willing to back we'll have the European Cup and the Premiership in the trophey cabinet.

Finally a manager who has some balls. if the story is indeed true, it would definitely be a welcome development.
