Andre Villas Boas SACKED

[zee24]

sacked as boss Rafa Benitez fav to take over, or Di Matteo could take over for the remainder of the season

[footycard steve]

goodbye and good riddance! he could have set the club back decades.

Is it coincidence that Mourinho was in London this week buying a house?

[zee24]

Player power/ owner pressure, probably one of the worst jobs in football management.

You could be the bees knees as a manager win everything one season and get sacked the next with Roman. Chelsea deserve everything they get, paying 15 odd mill for AVB now having to pay him off. I have no sympathy for either parties, AVB knew exactly what he was getting himself in to.

Rafa would be walking in a lions den at Chavski he doesn't need that headache.

Mourinho ruled out a move back to the Bridge

[aleister crowley]

Reminds me of Woy's days at Liverpool. The guy never stood a chance.

It's really pathetic, really. The player power at Chelsea is a major concern.

[zee24]

Give it a month or two and AVB's name will be linked with Liverpool, Spurs maybe even the England job just for the Euros wouldn't suprise me one bit.

Makes you wonder what kind of manager can feed the egos of the so called superstars at this club and get them to play for you. Looks like its jose comming back then.

[footycard steve]

i bet all you mancs and scouse supporters are terrified of mourinho returning but sadly he's already said he wont. anyone will do a better job than AVB and might be able to shift some of the deadwood like fereira,mikel,malouda,bosingwa and drogba and keep the all time chelsea great lampard at the club.

[smirnoff_rules]

any club will be more than happy to have mourinho and money talks and they have lots of it . u never know

[Bulld0g]

hmmmm Lampard is well finished m8 unless you mean as part of the staff

[zee24]

Di Matteo is in charge now until the end of the season confirmed.

[zee24]

Roman may as well manage the team himself, atleast he won't have to pay himself off after a few months nor will there be player unrest.

[AgentD]

I'm surprised John Terry didn't get the job, with Lampard and Drogba as assistants. That would have kept toys in prams!

[aleister crowley]

Di Matteo is in charge now until the end of the season confirmed.

They'd be better off getting Ray Wilkins back and see how it goes.
