DiMatteo has been sacked

Sounds like they've got someone lined up already and that's why. What an ungracious bunch of dickheads.
 
I don't think it is a disgraceful decision to be honest.

I've never seen a team get more luck on their way to a CL win (and I include us in this) and I don't think he's a very good manager. If you want to stay at the top you have to be ruthless - they owe Di Matteo no loyalty.

They were lucky as fucky in the first Barca game. In the second Barca game they made Barca poor, which is fair and square... The final, yes they were lucky, but not as lucky as us, or as unlucky as they were to loose it against Man U.

And as much as I agree that they don't owe Di Matteo, they owe themselves some integrity..
 
To be fair, at that club, it was to be expected wasn't it? He embarrassed them in the last 3 games of the champions league, and won it by accident, their form has been on and off this season, they're pretty much straight out of the champs league at the first hurdle, he's not got a clue tactically, and he was only given a one year contract after 'winning' the champions league. If all that wasn't a sign a sign that he was going to get the push at the earliest opportunity then I don't know what is.
With a decent manager (like one of the ones they've had in the past) and the russian crook's unlimited chequebook, they really should be dominant in this league, and the champions league.
I hate to think where they would be now, with the money they've spent, if they'd have kept mourinho. Thank god they didn't.

Yeah it was quite embarrassing for the club winning the CL without playing very well....
 
I hate this, "he won it by accident" thing. They got there and played a shit load of games to get there. They might not have performed in a few matches, but they rode their luck and got some good results too.

We should know about that better than anyone.
 
Indeed. A Champions League and FA cup double is still a great achievement in one's first season in charge.
 
I would say it was a much bigger embarrasment to the club loosing the way they did to Barca, than winning the way they did.
 
Holt in the Mirror is waffling on about Guardiola as if the guy has magical powers, saying he can make everyone 'love' a club. Apart from the fact he's only managed the one club, it's an amazing leap of faith to think that he could take a plastic, greed-driven club like Chelski and turn it into a loveable institituion. The madness has begun even before he turns up.


Mourinho can turn a club into a pariah. In fact, he seems to seek to bathe himself and his club in trouble.
There is none of that with Guardiola. He nurtured Barcelona’s reputation and its history.
So it is of little surprise that as Guardiola approaches the half way point of his sabbatical from the game, everybody wants him. He is the king across the water.
The perception, at least, is that Guardiola can bring more than mere success.
He can bring beauty, too. He can make a club not just respected but admired. He can make a club loved.
 
I still don't get the hype with guadiola

He won stuff with some of the best performers of this generation. He then started buying players and they went a little iffy.
 
it will be interesting to see guardiola manage . Ok he obviously did good things at barca but with the team they had and messi it's not a major surprise . Wherever he goes will be a completely different ball game to what he had before .
 
I'm happy. I hate Chelsea and all it stands for.

As I've said before, I much preferred them when they were the bovver boy club of West London and you got chased down Fulham Broadway.

Plus my old skool Chelsea mates are easy to wind up on modern football.

I think for the money he's spent, their owner was expecting a little bit of a better performance. Most teams that win the champions league, usually have played quite well during the final stages to win it. They did not, the owner was not happy, now the gaffer got the sack. Simples.

The money who's spent though? I'd be a bit dubious about whether many transfers there are fully attributable to the manager.

I think he'll struggle if he goes there. You can't implement a 'mini barca' overnight, and I think that's what the russian crook is after.
And like you said, pep wasn't really even responsible for creating it, he inherited messi and the whole playing style.

Sorry, yes, I meant the russian crook when I said money he's spent. I wonder what % of players they've bought under his ownership have actually been a request from the manager and not just a present for them.

Yup, this is it. I'd wager Torres was one of those too.

Yes, we should. The idea that we were "lucky" in 2005 is a complete pile of @rse.
 
So Rafa waits and waits and waits for the perfect long-term project and then goes for a job that has 'short-term' stamped through it like a stick of Blackpool rock. It's nuts on top of nuts. It's nuts on fucking stilts.
 
It's a fucking shame to think if we'd only kept hold of Kuyt, Maxi and Aurelio for just one more year we'd have been able to cash in now.
 
no chance will rafa take it

Ballbag said as of 3 hours ago Rafa hadn't been contacted (if you believe him).

At this stage of the season chelsea KNOW they need to bring in someone quick who can get the most out of their team

Now who's available and is very good at making mediocre players to play t'riffic......


I'm waiting for the inevitable car door interview

Nope.

It's pretty much guaranteed that he'll get a two or three deal on about 5m quid a year and only have to work until May when he gets fucked off to pick up the whole amount.

I'd like 6 months at 10m quid to be honest. There isn't much self humiliation I wouldn't put myself through. I'd let Roman bum me every day on youtube for that.
 
You're right FFF

but i don't think he'd be offered it. 3 years unemployed, history of obvious clashes with owners and if he comes then torres stays.

They will get rid of torres, buy falcao and the rest will be history
 
Chesea said in their statement that they'd be making announcement shortly about their new manager. That Sounds to me like they already have someone lined up.
