DI MATTEO SACKED!!!

[donaldo]

Wenger would last 2 months under Abramovich and rightly so

Abramovich is ruthless.Chelsea are where they are because of Abramovich.Unlike our board who will reward our loser with a new contract.

There is not one Gooner if they are honest would not want an owner like him if it meant the success he has brought the club.He spends money and demands success just like nearly everyone on here has been asking our board to do

[augie]

Is this proper confirmed?

If so then it is ridiculous. Sorry, I'm all for not accepting 2nd best and all that, but to sack a manager that has just won the CL? Not even halfway through the following season?

Unless there is a hidden agenda here (Moron-hio returning?) then this is one of the few negatives about having a billionaire pimping your club. There has to be a balance between stupidly brief management tenures (this) and fucking mentally insane long management tenures (Wenger).

I'll grant you all that but it is an overlooked FACT ( ) that avb actually had a better points to games ratio than di Matteo had last season and he was the luckiest manager eve r to win the champs lge ever (although Benitez runs him close ironically enough). There was a load of money spent there in the summer and you would expect them to do better really - some we're creaming themselves early doors but at that time they had beaten nobody of note and the tester was always going to be the winter time and how it would affect the likes of hazard and oscar who would be used to winter breaks

Of course it goes without saying that the usual cuntish players would be causing trouble in the background as the pie eating fat b****rd will not accept a bit part role easily

Put a few bob on the twitcher to get the job though

Disagree totally Don. Would I like an owner who picks the team, buys players I don't want? Nope, definitely not

[topgoon]

God some of us are so desperate for success that we would accept a chairman who sacks a manager 5 months after their 1st european cup win, when HE has bought a shite Torres and got them to send out a much better Lukaku on loan. Even Cech looks shot whilst a brilliant Courtois is helping Atletico split the Barca/Real grip on La Liga

Bad as we may want change it's not a trigger happy chairman we need.

I may have to buck Donaldo's yrend and say no. We don't need an Abramowich just a chairman who will appoint the right manager and spend our money wisely. There are teams in Europe who succeed without a trigger happy russian at the tiller.

I would take Simeone,Klopp or Bielsa(before this season's collapse) over money bags anyday.

Anyway f**k the chavs, classless c**ts.

I don't understand all this hype for Guardiola. The man had one of the best squads to choose from when at whora but when things started to get sticky with Madrid starting to bite back he jumped.

[Bradywasking]

Wasn't there a feeling that Abramovich didn't want to give the job to Di Matteo on a full time basis but winning the Champions League forced his hand ?. This sacking may prove that theory. Have to say I think it is wrong but our board havn't the interest or the balls to act on anything. So which is worse ? Our board are, but Chelsea as usual haven't covered themselves in any glory. Only a Month or so ago the were winning easily at the Lane and they were being spoken of as title Challenger. Two league defeats , one with mitigating circumstances, and a bad European Campaign and look what happens... Arsene you are one lucky man !!!

I agree with E-W

Its one thing rewarding a losing manager and players with bigger and longer contracts and allowing the manager to continue with pretty but mediocre crap but its totally another to buy players above a managers head demand players are played and then sack the manager when it doesnt go right........ There has to be a middle ground somewhere which is what i want.

As i said earlier you take the chavs manager job knowing what will happen if you dont win almost every game so di matteo cant have any complaints really

Pep never had to build a defence in Spain, he would have to in England and that would be his biggest challenge. Still I would take him at Arsenal at this time. What intelligent manager would want to go to Chelsea at this time. ?

[DB10GOONER]

I see both sides of this, but my point is that being at either extreme end of the sacking managers scale is fucking ridiculous.

I don't want an Abramovich trigger happy chairman BUT equally I don't want a shit-scared afraid to act board/chairman like we have. It DOESN'T have to be one extreme or the other. We need something in the middle; a chairman that will give a manager the time to work and succeed but will then make the required decision to sack him if that manager has failed over a reasonable time.. maybe 3 or 5 full seasons.

But not half a season and certainly not 7 years...

copying bastard almost word for word

Arsene for Chelsea

This is fucking ridiculae - abramovich was all over him when they won the CL and now!...Abramovich is all that's evil in the game...money *word censored* may his balls drop off.

Even so, I'd be willing to forgive these little oversights if he took Wenker away from us......But ofg course if THAT happened...Wenker would have zillions to spend - he would buy the best and then win everything for the next 10 seasons - while us and whoever replaced him claimed Fourth spot as our annula trophy... errrrm hold on where have I heard all this before!?

I thought that too till I read and interview recently with Xavi(c**t) and he more or less dealt with that very issue and said how they were always a talented squad but no one gave them more self belief than Pep did and when he spoke to them organised them they felt they could do anything beat anyone ,win anywhere.
Sometimes that's all that you want in a manager.

But only if you are going to give the manager the best tools. Like Mourinho woud do nothing with our squad because he wants the best and our board wouldn't buy the best.

The only way Guardiola would be a success at our place or the chavs is if he transplants La Masia lock stock and barrel to London and brought Iniesta,Xavi and Messi with him.

[Mood1987]

Disgraceful hope they get rafa to sell all there best players and buy aload of mediocre fring players. As for guardiola over hyperd only done it with the best team in the world, would like to see him proven elsewhere
