Di Matteo sacked

[TheHitman]

Steve Clarke sacked assistant to manager of Chelsea in a few months maybe!.

 

He would be a popular choice with their fanbase.

[Major Tom]

The madness was not sacking him, the madness was hiring him in the first place as he is a pretty shite manager, he is in fact worse than Roy Hodgson who came in and saved West Brom after Di Matteos somewhat naive style and set up.

 

I think Chelsea felt they had to give him the job though after he won the FA Cup and the CL but it was never going to last.

 

Put your name in the hat, Code.

Harry Redknapp's free..

[Section_31]

We all called this ages ago, even if he'd won every trophy this year they'd have been waiting for him to lose one game so they could bin him, he's not showbiz enough - that's what we all have to remember about this club, it's not about winning for sporting sake, not even for the fans, it's only about bragging rights, it's about having the latest pair of trainees, it's about having the right haircut, and Di Matteo was a mullet. Joke of a club, I know the phrase is thrown around a lot but it's true, I'd be embarrassed to support it.

[Lee909]

He also knows what it's like there.

 

He is onto a good with West Brom and should stay where he is.

 

 

[xerxes]

What a fucking joke that club is. An absolute circus, run by a gormless clueless Russian cunt.

 

Eleven trophies since 2004, it's a good job he doesn't know what he is doing.

[BCM]

If Rafa takes over that squad with the talent in it........

[fowler9]

if he hadn't sacked Mourinho which started this lunacy it could've been a hell of a lot more

[s(k)aturation]

... he'll be moved on the second it suits the owner, BCM.

[smilezzz]

Probably Pep up next, though I wouldnt be too surprised if they approached Rafa. It would give him a chance to prove what could have been if he was properly supported, or prove the nay-sayers right about his in-ability regarding transfers.

[MikeC]

Don't think Rafa would be the popular choice...last time he was mentioned as taking over after AvB left it didn't go down too well with the Chelsea geezers.

[Section_31]

I don't follow European football but who's the latest jizzball getting all the plaudits for being the next big thing? Whoever it is, it'll be him in chelsea's sights.

He wouldn't have any say in transfers at that joke shop, the owner delivers his latest play thing and says entertain me. I don't know why he didn't just buy Barca, it would have been cheaper.

[boomer39]

It was but the truth is Chelsea were still in all competitions when they sacked AVB and Di Matteo came in and took them backwards in the league.

you could say the same about Rafa, won the cl but finished lower in the league!!!

[fowler9]

don't know where its come from but just been told Avram Grant is being linked

 

that would be fucking hilarious!

Superb.

[magicrat]

Bookies have Benitez odds on atm

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

@GuillemBalague Rafa Benítez has not been called or approached by Chelsea

 

Bet you it's Pep. Fuck.

[Code]

What would we have lost if we sacked Rafa in 05/06?

 

Not much, but maybe we could have won more.

[fin-bat]

Hopefully it´s Moyes and then gets kicked out before the season ends... I don´t think Guardiola is stupid enough to go there.

You tedious prick.

[TheHitman]

Here is what Rory Smith said in the Times.

 

Abramovich is minded to make one more attempt to coax the former Barcelona coach to Chelsea midseason; if that fails, and Chelsea are eliminated, he will turn to Benítez, the former Liverpool manager, at least until the end of the campaign. At that point, he would return, once again, to Guardiola. The Spaniard was sounded out by Chelsea nine months ago, as Abramovich prepared to sack Villas-Boas, but could not agree terms with the club.

 

Chelsea were prepared to offer only a four-month, temporary deal, but Benítez was determined to hold out for an 18-month contract. Then, though, discussions went through Marina Granovskaia, Abramovich’s trusted personal assistant. This time, the contact has been between the two men direct. Although his Liverpool connections do not make him a natural choice in the eyes of many fans, Benítez is seen by Chelsea’s hierarchy as the one manager capable of eliciting the best from Fernando Torres. So poor has the Spaniard’s form been — he has scored only once in eight games — that Di Matteo, despite an injury to Daniel Sturridge, elected to start with Hazard at the tip of a revamped formation.

[The Golden Eel]

It won't be, but I'd love it to be Moyes. It would make my quarter.

[Faustus]

The maddest Russian since Rasputin.

 

Why doesn't he just give himself the job?

[Unrighteous]

If Rafa takes over that squad with the talent in it........

 

I can see the look on Oscar's and Hazard's faces when Rafa instructs them not to leave their 'box' and make sure they are always in the right position to defend.
