Anyway, I'm off to watch a bit of the Real game if it hasn't finished yet. I'll leave you girls to argue over whether Rafa should be the next manager of Chelsea.

Tell that to Woy.Back on topic, players with an ego create a clicky dressing room, it's like a poison, that will eventually destroy the club. Time to give the boot to the likes of Cole, Terry, Lampard, Drogba, Cech etc. Bunch of big time Charlie's - Thanks for all you have done, cheerio. New manager, new players.
That's my view on it anyway, without team sprit, you have nothing, thankfully my team has it in abundance.

I rate him as a competent manager and think he's at the right club at the minute. I met him soon after he took over at Fulham and he somehow kept them in the Premier League. I was astonished about how non-plussed he was about football ("I can take it or leave it") and his lack of confidence in Fulham staying up despite their seemingly hopeless position ("I can't see it happening") but he was also a decent man and his time at Liverpool was a shambles. He had no money to spend and no support from the management or players and was ultimately hung out to dry. Dalglish has spent a stupid amount of money on crap players and, understandably, is being given a lot more leeway than Hodgson ever was. Ultimately though I think everyone has got what they wanted. Hodgson is back to doing what he does best ie taking teams like West Brom up to levels that they appreciate and Liverpool are about to turn a corner (whilst looking over their shoulder at West Brom).You rate Hodgson very highly.
I bet that would change in the blink of an eye if he was named as Fergie's successor.
Apparently Cech has a large influence in the dressing room which I find off.
He doesn't come across as a strong character.

Hes a big ****er though and probably a knockout merchant![]()
I wrote an article way back when AVB started as Chelsea manager suggesting that Torres was the key to AVB's career at Chelsea and IMO it has worked out that way.

A fully fit and confident Torres would have made all the difference to results.
What next is the big question, will Abramovich look to throw money at the problem again or bring in a young manager with a long term plan (Again)?
