gogobar8 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 You score 9 we score 10. Brazilian concept. Still the country that has won the world cup more times than any other. Holland. Still a major player in a world football stadium despite the dykes etc. It's not rocket science. German efficiency. OK fine, but it doesn't move me.

Think you are harking back to the old Germany there gogo. I know which players I would rather have playing for England. I rather liked watching the defensive skills of the old Germany too - there's just as much art at the back as up front. Most PL managers seem to have forgotten where to buy it and how to coach it - so many examples of infantile defending these days even at the top. Too many teams choose both wing backs on their attacking strengths. Must make Mackay, Keane, Pallister and Adams and Keogh's toes curl to watch it - wonder how many telly sets they have broken. It's no surprise to me that Man City are at the top and have the best defense by miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carmine Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 First and foremost Villas-Boas was a fool to take the job. After all, he could have joined a big club, rather than a wannabe Real Madrid with an owner that has seemingly little or no knowledge of football. Secondly its a team run by Terry, Lampard Cole and Drogba, the old guard, and any director of football or owner should know that no manager could hope to make a transition unless they are axed.. How many managers has terry seen the back of now. Despite my profound loathing for Chelsea i almost feel sorry for the supporters to have their club run by such a load of clueless kiss <deleted> and a cosack with a retarded footballing brain. To qoute Danny Baker once more; "Chelsea, the ever exploding clown car of football" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So which job would you want chaps...Chelsea or England? Perhaps I should have said which is the more poisoned chalice? A further couple of questions to ponder now that horrid Mr.Villas Boas has gone: 1) Will the players absolutely pull their <deleted> out tonight,to prove to the footballing world how horrible and nasty Villas Boas was to them and made them cry? 2) Will De Matteo bring a god like transition to the team (and Torres),between now and the end of the season,so making it impossible for Abramovich not to give him the post permanently?

Good to see Bertrand being given a start and Ramires returning to near his best,It's probably that new 5 year contract he's just penned.

Obi Mikel was a totally different player in this replay,as in the 1st he just couldn,t be bothered. Just goes to show that some of the players are a complete bunch of. .unts. I hope kalou has played his last game,cos i,ve seen the same display from him for the last 5 years.Saturdays game will be interesting,who does he play,more of the old guard or not?

carmine Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I think the problem that Abramovich has created is that he's little or no chance of getting a manager that would view Chelsea as a longterm proposition. They'll just take the job in the knowledge that a huge severence package awaits in the not too distant future because they won't be given any sensible amount of time to create transition within a longer term strategy. I hope the next chelsea manager enjoys his six month tenure and milks Ambramovich for all he can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If his apparent obsession with the CL is true i also wonder if its all about getting that one under the belt and then he'll find a new play thing. Whatever he does, he's turned Chelsea into a laughing stock. I'm probably not alone in believing that if he had left Mourinho to his own devices and kept his beak out of things they probably would have already won the CL.

Haven't they settled out of court? Pretty sure thats the case. I read somewhere he's currently more inbterested in the schedule of works for his new super yacht. Quite funny on talksport today suggesting that the only appointed manager he wouldn't dare sack would be Paulo Di Canio through fear of a torrent of verbal abuse to the media or physical attack!!!

And if they are not in the CL? Owning a club that loses a ton of money and doesnt win anything is just a financial nightmare. Just look at Aston Villa.

I do love the way all you guys go on about how many millions we have lost during the financial years...are you all forgetting Abramovich is a multi-billionaire so a few million to him is just interest from his vast some, he is obviously a very good businessman and would know to stop ploughing money into us if it was seriously effecting his wedge.

Sorry Seapok, but to me he is obviously a very bad businessman. Can't choose and keep good people to work for him, which is probably the number one requirement for any good businessman. He must be a laughing stock amongst his his Russian business peers. Those who got wealthy coming out of Glasnost and the collapse of the Soviet empire were often the ones with the most connections and/or the most guns.

I was not in any way questioning whether Abromavich could afford to keep ploughing millions into Chelsea. The total cost is not alot more than his largest yacht. I was merely suggesting that if he did decide to sell he would in fact find that he currently has nothing to sell but a financial black hole.
