Champions League - Villas-Boas still defiant

AVB said he has lost the dressing room........what­ magic can he perform outside the room.....how can a­ 33yrs old be telling his elder brothers what to­ do...its ridicullous.

Tezza 89 I agree

Chelsea owner,Abramovich,is the problem.Until he­ changes his sack mentality,he should not expect a­ better result.The result clubs like Baca are producing­ today,is something they started long ago.The man­ Abramovich has what it takes to run a club in terms of­ finance,but he lacks vision. Things do not happen in a­ twinkle of an eye.In his own case,he should be patient­ to have expected result.And as such,hes got the right­ person now,AVB,because hes a young man that needs time­ to revamp the team.So,sacking AVB now will not solve­ the problem.

To be frank, this guy can't manage Chelsea.

Chelsea will never be a consist power-house because­ they sack their managers after the first sign of­ trouble. They need to hang onto managers (who are­ proven) and make things work.

When Fergie first took­ over at United it took a 1n or 2 seasons to become­ cohesive

I feel for the guy because this is now a witch hunt by­ the press to make it into a reality that he does get­ sacked. But you can't feel that sorry for the guy­ because he's not doing what he was brought in to­ do. If he had sacked the old gaurd and built a team­ around getting the best out of Mata, Stouridge and­ Torres; then the Chelsea fans might have accepted that­ there is a rebuilding process going on for this season­ ready for a tilt at the title next season. But it's­ uncle Woy at Liverpool all over again. He's not­ taking ownership of the team. He doesn't know how­ to handle the British press (which is a­ damage-limitation exercise for all managers) and­ he's out of his league.

Here we go again " no history and bought­ silverwere" It has to be from united fans (and­ let me remind you that YOU got knocked out of champs­ league by a swiss team that nobody has ever heard of) ­ Do you lot think that all uniteds players are home­ grown ? Do you honestly belive that ferguson did not­ have to spend big to win 19 titles? Open your­ eyes! How many times in the last 25 years have united­ broke transfer records to get players into united ? ­ RIO and BERBA are 2 recent massive spends and how many­ times have we all heard that united have sighned­ someone for a undissclosed sum . Why undissclossed­ sum ? For years united have been spending big to get­ the best available to old trafford and other clubs have­ not said a word but as soon as uniteds pot runs out and­ they are struggling to pay off the debt that the club­ and owners have mounted up they are complaining about­ the the money getting spent by other prem clubs. Yes­ chelsea bought the prem titles and yes city will have­ bought their prem titles but like all sport is now, it­ is the money that counts and without it you will not­ win anything.

AVB is a dead man walking.

I dont know what these coaches/managers are paid for.­ This guy is simply the poorest coach i hve a ever ­ seen. He simply lacks change management skill. These­ managers should go for a cause in "Change­ Management". How to introduce and Implement a­ change.Nobody is saying that old legs shouldnt be­ replaced but at what pace.Dont forget that the ultimate­ Goal is still Trophies.This guy has turned a good squad­ to a goon squad simply because he wants a change.How­ can he be that daft to make Meireless parmanent,and­ lampard seating on the bench.Even now he just realised­ Torres will destroy chelsea fortune.This mess has­ killed the morale of key players. Change is gradual mr­ AVRA.Players like Malouda,Kalou,Sturridge are trick­ players. Dont permant them.He doesnt even use kalou at­ all, that guy can score important goals at times.Drogba­ and Lampard have made chelsea in the last 4 yrs so dont­ undermine them. The moment i realise Sturridge is the­ main score , u know theres trouble.Any way, enuf word­ for the wise.

Super Dan is the answer

Super Dan for coach!!!
He made wonders where he coached­ and he's a Chelsea legend

60.....you've bought your history, you've­ bought your history,you've bought your­ history.....as so on.

Sacking Anceloti was a big mistake. Now the question is­ whos next? If they need players they should get the get­ from Napoli.

Im a United fan but yet, I think AVB is a goner!­ Chelsea havent had the best of seasons with him in­ charge!

what could "any" manager do with this bunch­ of over-the-hill yuppies and mercinaries?

All you Chelsea haters talking about successive­ failures and not winning titles for another 50 years­ have no clue. The fact is, in the last 7-10 years­ only one team has rivalled Chelsea for cups and honours­ and that's Manchester united. Spurs and­ Manchester city have only really done something with­ themselves this year. So, before you Chelsea haters­ all start on each others band wagons, remember that­ the owner loves the club, has 20 billion big ones on­ last count, and we'll be back a lot sooner than­ later. This ain't 1997 haters!!!

We win the league twice in a row not good enough.
We­ had the best coach in the world not good enough­ fooball.
Roman your a k..b and this current situation­ is all down to you.

How can AVB manage? The owner wants win, win, win all­ the time and the players want money, money, money­ without any change in tactics. If owner/players are so­ smart, let them sort out teams and tactics. It would­ save the cost of a manager. However, if a manager is­ required then let him manage. Chelsea had a winning­ team that was getting long in the tooth. Changes are­ needed. Younger players are needed but not overpriced­ prima-donnas. Until Chelsea settle on a manager and let­ him manage, the team will remain what they are now -­ expensive ageing arrogant football players who wallow­ in self belief.

AVB is an AVG manager. Special 5 would do better.

If he can find a way to croak Lampard, Cole, Terry and­ Drogs he'd be okay. Slip in in their drinks or­ something
