Good or bad for chelsea? I think this might be good for them which means it is not good for us.... unless the new coach gives faith to torres again
Roberto Di Matteo will take over for the rest of the season. Not sure what to make of that. Hopefully he is not up to the job.
He's fired? :O Feel sorry for the guy, hope he is successful somewhere else. Well I guess the cycle will begin once again.
""Andre Villa-Boas has parted company with Chelsea Football Club today. "The board would like to record our gratitude for his work and express our disappointment that the relationship has ended so early. "Unfortunately the results and performances of the team have not been good enough and were showing no signs of improving at a key time in the season. "The club is still competing in the latter stages of the Uefa Champions League and the FA Cup, as well as challenging for a top-four spot in the Premier League, and we aim to remain as competitive as possible on all fronts. "With that in mind we felt our only option was to make a change at this time. "With immediate effect Roberto Di Matteo has been appointed first team coach on an interim basis until the end of the season." "
They should stop going through this charade of having a manager and just let Terry, Lampard and Drogba make all the decisions whilst Cole shoots any player that disobeys.
Apologies to Ben E King.

A HUGE mistake. Chelsea dont seem to get the issue here. Are ALL the managers they get at fault - or is it something else??? The problem at Chelsea is that they have a collection of complete ******s as players - egotistical morons that will stab managers in the back if they dont get their way. Terry Cole Lampard The ring leaders - a cancer within Chelsea and an even bigger cancer within the England dressing room. THEY are responsible for the issues at Chelsea and until they are booted out, NO manager will be able to bring success back to Chelsea.
Abramovich is a total idiot in my opinion. Might as well just appoint Lampard now and get it over with.
I agree. AVB wasn't the problem, it was the selfish players (the minority of them rather) who intentionally didn't give 100%. I have a strange feeling we'll see either a more galvanised Chelsea or a very poor one. It could go either way.
I'm glad we've already played them at Stamford Bridge. Hopefully that 3 point buffer we've got will be enough.
it'll be meltdown Chavs from now on in. Imagine the dressing room - the recriminations, the accusations, the bitter taste - and thats just the tea-ladies.
Thought your reply sounded like you hoped Chelsea would overtake us. You should probably consider the appropriateness of your own remarks before you criticise others.
I hope Boas goes back to Porto, and rebuilds his repuatation. He is another victim of player power (we all know Lampard calls the shots), and the british media, who jump on any manager after 2 consecutive losses. I could see him managing us some day, his youth policy and tactics would be a hit with our board.
