Villas Boas Sacked

[sunilvk7]

I would usually agree but he got rid of none?? One he did get rid of was Anelka who out of the older players was looking like Messi compared to them. The Galaxy directer or whatever has already said Lamps is on their radar.

Lampard, Terry and Cole were needed imo. Should have sold Malouda. The problem was players were not backing AVB or that they were against him, there has to be only one winner between old guard and AVB, Roman decided it was the former.

Roman shouldn't have sacked Carlo, once he did he should have given AVB full backing and at least 1 or 2 seasons to build his project. Not half season where you can't change anything.

Wonder if Chelsea will become the first club to start a you loose you leave rule lol <)

It's tough though, losing Lampard, Drogba and Malouda in one go is pretty rough in terms of experience, and Lampard has scored lots of important goals already this season. You'll get Benayoun back in the summer which leaves the first 11 looking pretty solid. Romeu and Lukaku are the two "top tier" prospects coming through, but I definitely think the core of the side is on paper good. I think that's why AVB had to go, as on paper the money spent recently has been very high and sitting in this position with AVB's response as "I don't need the support of the owner" rather dug his own grave.

I agree Lamps, Cole and Terry were all needed but the likes of Malouda, Bosingwa, Kalou and even Drogba and Anelka at the time all needed to go. He didn't act quickly enough to try and start changing this squad, he has lost 2 transfer windows basicly changing nothing at all. I agree he should have never sacked Ancelotti but once Wilkins went things were never the same. AVB didn't do enough in this short time to convince me he was the right man to change this squad and i don't think Mourinho is nessecairy the right man either.

Was a matter of when. Bad move in the first place, I understand moving to the PL is tempting but he should've stayed with Porto for at leat another year. His tactics didn't suit Chelsea's players, his substitutions were dodgy, he lost the dressing room by alienating the older players... Could've handled the situation a lot better, but IMO the problem was the move to Chelsea in the first place. After a single year managing a decent club, he moved to one of the biggest clubs in the biggest league in the world. Odds were definitely against him.

 

[Jadax]

Shame AVB got sacked, he is a good manager....team is back to square1 yet again!

 

[Ben]

No surprises there then, wouldn't surprise me if Di Matteo went before the end of the season.

 

[PZW]

What and the fans deserve that??



By all accounts he wasen't strong enough to be manager and a lot was left to the bigger players i.e Drogba, Terry and Lampard.

To be honest, you can't really judge him on what other people have said about him being a manager, unless you were in his dressing room when he gave team talks. It could all be sour grapes from players who were not getting into the team, or just general rubbish from the media!

La Galaxy were willing to take Lampard in the summer nothing happend. Anji were willing to take Malouda and/or Drogba nothing happened. A couple of Chinease clubs were willing to take Drogba in January yet again nothing happend. All these clubs could afford these players wages without a doubt.

I don't think that's completely André Villas-Boas' fault! I doubt the players would be willing to move to obscure clubs from such a successful one, and I also doubt Roman Abramovich would be willing for them to move. He seems fairly obsessive and stubborn (he insisted that Fernando Torres should start, for most of last season) and probably wouldn't be willing for them to leave.

Also, some of those moves probably wouldn't be very concrete, and Villas-Boas was just giving them a chance to prove their worth before offloading them. Selling players who were so established is not an easy thing to do, and it would probably mean that he would have to overspend on a replacement quick!

Until Abramovich realizes that sacking managers after a poor run of results, and giving them little time to put their mark on the squad, is bad, Chelsea fans probably wouldn't be seeing much silverware!

He can waste his money all he likes, but this could have more long term problems for Chelsea: maybe managers will be reluctant to move there in the future, fearing their reputation would be ruined or maybe this is just the start of a downward slide for Chelsea.

Again and again, he is wasting his money, and threatening the stability within in the club, by appointing new managers and then sacking them as soon as things turn sour.

This is expected, of course, but I don't believe Villas-Boas should be sacked right now, especially with the Birmingham game so soon! This is going to heap a load of pressure on Roberto Di Matteo, who may even be sacked before the end of the season!

Chelsea your a joke.

i was expecting AVB to rebuild the club filled with old hands. SMH roman abramovic.

 

[puzzled]

In my opinion he shouldn't of been sacked. Abramovic has gone through way to many managers making the team unstable this has lead to a Chelsea team that looks as weak as ever. Stability is key and Abramovic is expecting results to quickly. He should of kept AVB until the start of next to strengthen up the squad, how else is he gonna get results and silverware?

 

[Lol_101]

maybe will see the special one back in chelsea this summer

The club is so unstable now. How are the team supposed to perform if a manager is getting sacked every season? Ibramovic is to impatient

 

[Chokopop]

Alright, I might hate Chelsea... But I feel sorry for AvB. He was never given the chance really. working under immense pressure, due to the Russian **** that is Abramovic. He's a decent manager, and deserves to be at a better club than Chelsea.​

 

[Gazza56]

This is not the first time the likes of Lampard, Terry, Drogba, Cech and Malouda have got the manager the sack!.......they did the same with Big Phil..........i think its time that the players should start playing for the club and the supporters rather than themselves and massaging their huge ego's........i guess Roman should get them all together and ask who they want as manager, afterall, its the players that run the club!!

 

[Aannddyy]

Wow, a lot of sympathy for AVB here, not entirely sure why. Roman's the bad guy again, lol. I feel for the little Russian, invested another £100m - £150m this year in players and what does he get in return? The race to 4th place. Woo! Obviously the players have aged dramatically since they were challenging for first less than 12 months ago.

I suppose I should also mention, you don't have a divine right to be a top four club, the way you are playing you don't deserve it, the way you are ran you don't deserve it, and it's not like you have the most vocal fans in the country, so I am unsure how not finishing in the top four is 'undeserving for the fans', you didn't see Newcastle fans turn against the club when we got relegated, we still got nearly 50k a week turn up when we were in the championship, we kept on to our best players and we worked back to where we are now. Maybe a few seasons of not playing champions league football might be the reality check your team, owner and fans need.

LOL, yeah, take a leaf out of Newcastle's book. How many protests have Newcastle held in the last 2 years? Like 10?

Pretty sure you guys even protested over the appointment of Pardew, too.

Also, you averaged about 40,000- still impressive, but not massively. (;

It's probably just a typo by you, but it's Abramovich, not Ibrahimovic! Is it Roman Abramovich, the Russian tycoon, you are talking about? Sorry, I'm not trying to pick problems but I just thought I'd just tell you.

Just because he's spent money doesn't mean he deserves reward or sympathy with his incompetent control of the club.
