StevieH Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 It looks like Benitez will be accepting the cudgel not if,but when Villas Boas goes. benitez was offered it and turned it down last week OG. I missed that bombshell.dam_n! didn't get much press coverage, strangely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithsimmonds Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 That was awful and it was the first time I've seen Villas Boas,at an after match interview,looking extremely fed up with the whole business.I think there is a concerted effort now,from within the playing staff,to see the back of him.The biggest shame is that this 'battle of minds' between Villas Boas and the 'old guard' is effecting the younger players in the team.Mata is steadily deteriorating and Ramires had probably one of his quietest games and looked a shadow of the talent we saw at the start of the season.The worrying thing is they both looked off the pace.Gary Cahill must be wondering what he's walked into here.It's like a Thai soap opera.Luiz is chancing his arm too many times with his forays upfield, probably because he can see nothing happening in front of him.I don't buy this lack of confidence <deleted> as we had a good win against Bolton the previous weekend.No,there's a conspiracy between the old stagers (and maybe Abramovich as he seems to listen to them more than the succession of managers he's employed) to topple this young upstart and I think now,for the first time,it will happen.Mind you,Villas Boas didn't help himself by substituting the teams two best players on the day,Essien and Ivanovic. There are plenty of possibles waiting in the wings to take over but most of them will want Champions League football.I don't think Mourinho is one of them as he's too 'pally' with Terry,Drogba,Cole,Lampard etc. who are exactly the people who should be kicked out.I can't see Capello accepting the poison chalice as he seemingly thinks John Terry walks on water.Guardiola hasn't signed a new contract at Barcelona but he would need a kings ransom to fashion a team to play his brand of football.It looks like Benitez will be accepting the cudgel not if,but when Villas Boas goes. I agree with most of what you have said Oldgit,Mouriniho would be offered the job but over Abrahomvich,s dead body,he won,t admit he has interfered with his buying of certain players and his backing of Mouriniho,s so called untouchables,which has brought us to where we are today.Up shit creek without a paddle. If Mouriniho was too come back i don,t he would have any problems in sorting Terry out, being as it was Terry who was the main instigator in him going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gogobar8 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Positive editing appreciated mrbojangles A list Mr Abramovich needs to be thinking about. No way to run a business. Easy making money.. or losing money.. when you made it the easy way in the first place. Mr A's interest in Chelsea is ego. Man City owners see a real business opportunity. If they enjoy the football at the same time, good on 'em. Mourhino did the football. Abramovich was a punter in an expensive seat. Ask his girlfriend.

The annoying thing is that as long as he plays stooge to those overpaid underperforming spoilt blabbermouths they Chelsea has a good chance of snatching back a CL spot from a team that is not overpaid. not spoilt, mostly loyal to their manager and discrete to a fault with the media.

But can he kick out the lunatics who are running the asylum? not if you believe some of the stuff in here: http://www.dailymail...es-players.html that car park 'game' sounds like the sort of crap the spice boys used to pull at liverpool. Villas Boas will look back on this particular episode in his career and should be relieved that he's well out of it.He's obviously a coach that believes that,in order to improve,you need to work that little bit harder and be more disciplined.Unfortunately,he was up against a group of experienced, past it players who already think that they are the donkey's <deleted> and don't need any of that stuff,thankyou very much,instead preferring to take the piss out of him and his efforts. Villas Boas's criticism of the reserve team's manager inability to produce young talent to be good enough for first team duty is valid.Chelsea's youth system is a joke and has been for ages.

Don,t know if they do humble in Russia. To be honest with all my fellow Chelsea fans,i don,t like arrogant cocky people,but if mouriniho puts us back on top of the pile,then he,ll do for me.
