      The only surprise for me was that AVB didn't get the boot last night.  >:D

      :lmao:  :lmao: f***in Chav Kunts, how many gaffers have they had now ?


      It's a cunning plan you see, they release a best of (insert manager's name here) magazine video every two months (available in crap newsagents £7.99 a month, first issue comes with a free John Terry dating advice and good etiquette book) , they find they get a drop after the 3rd or 4th issue, so Abramovich they sack the manage and start again.

      In a way I'm sort of glad to see the big ego players and fucktard fans get their way. It takes time to build a winning dynasty and the more part-time managers they have, the better.

      Macedo_Poo as a number two BRILLIANT but what piss-mire could be his number one? We need someone who's played the game a bit, is a top scout, very astute in the transfer market and is never wrong... Hmm... *scratches his chin like Jimmy Hill.  ;D

       It would be interesting to see how much Chelsea  have paid out to sacked managers in compensation since Ambromovich bought the club.Could that be the reason that managers queue up for the job at Chelsea,knowing they will not see out their contract but be well paid for it.

      Feel sorry for him, Unfortunately that what happens at Chavski.
      Mourinho is going back there.

      Why wouldn't they offer Rafa the job now? he is unemployed.

      Roman's man is not available til the summer = end of.

      Very good point Billy and that could be the reason they've got no enthusiasm for the job - they know they'll get weighed in anyway.

      Mourine to Chavski and Rafa to Spuds.

      Nothing at all to back that up, just my guess.

      (Slightly off topic, I like it how the FA have decided to wait until the end of the season to appoint a new England Manager. They may as well have said, 'until the end of 'Arry's season').

      Chelski state they sacked him because the fans had trouble spelling and pronouncing his name........
      they also stated that AVB was the best they could do but that didnt seem to help the majority :P

      Feel sorry for AVB.

      Young manager who won the Portuguese league undefeated, the Europa League and the Portuguese Cup on his first season.

      Gets 9 months at a Chelsea team who were obviously going to struggle this season unless Torres took a game and started scoring again and Abramovic tosses him after less than a season denting AVBs CV in the process.

      He will go on to be a top boss for years at top clubs anyway.

      Wish the Mancs had punted Fergie in the early days when they were struggling.

      Abramovic is clueless.

      Fair enough he won the Europa (but then Woy and Fulham very nearly managed that). However, managing Porto is a bit like managing Celtic, you're not going to have that many teams to compete with domestically.
      Not saying he's a bad manager and he could yet turn out to be great but he shouldn't really be judged on his record in Portugal.

      Fair play to you Rep and a very reasonable assessment.
      Abramovich has announced that after terminating AVB's contract and begun the quest for a new manager he will have a clearout of the big names at Chelski in the summer.
      He does seem to put things arseways about consistently.

      worst fit for him possibly......we along with Roma wouldve been the best place for him to go to.....a club with owners who arent sack happy, blatantly obvious Chelsea needed to rebuild and start over with their aging midfield and defense

      When has a Celtic manager gone undefeated like AVB did? What he accomplished in Portugal wasn't just good, it was outstanding. He had to beat out Braga in the league, a team so good it met Porto in the Europa final. Benfica was in those semifinals as well (beaten by Braga), and is in the final 8 of the Champions League this season. Portugal isn't England, but it's a far stronger league than Scotland these days.

      He's an excellent manager who will win leagues and/or Champions League for someone.

      Yeah but Porto rarely excited like the media had you believe. They were efficient, not flare. At least what i saw of them. He tried to change too much tactically without bringing in the players to do so.

      Meh he was stupid for going there in the first place only been 34, had he been a man of his word and honour he would have stuck out another season with Porto and given the CL a crack.

      What was his rush anyway, he has years in management ahead of him.

      Agree with crouch too tried to teach too many old dogs new tricks, should have bought players to suit his tactics.

      Braga was a sh*t team performing way above their standard due to an extremely defensive and physical style of play. You'd know that if you watched any of their European games last season, it was awful to watch. And yeah, Benfica still plays in the Champions League this season, Porto regularly gets passed the group stages aswell, so it's not surprising to me that they won the Europa League then because they're above that normally. And with Falcao and Hulk he had a very strong forward line. And he wasn't saying that Scotland is as strong a league, he meant that Porto's dominance in Portugal is similar to Celtic's dominance in Scotland, Porto won the league 7 times in the past 10 seasons.
