The Football.....

Wonder if there is a must play Torres clause..

 

[dan_bo]

Torres played his best footy under Benitez.

James Beattie scored for Stanley at Fleetwood last night. On Stanley On!

I read that, 'Teef, and put it down as one of your jolly japes. But then I thought.....check the paper.

WHAT ON EARTH IS ABRAMOVICH ON??????????????????????????????????????????????????

"Always trust User10571"...I'm taking lessons from the master.
The Benitez story is just waffle though...I heard that Sparky Hughes is a dead cert. ('dead' being the emotive word...)

Abramovich has now sacked winners of the Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup, Champions League and World Cup.

 

[dellzeqq]

not to mention Serie A, the UEFA Supercup, the Coppa del Rey and the Intertoto Cup.

Bring back Ray Wilkins!

 

[Archie_tect]

Abramovich should be the manager since no-one can cope with his expectations... it would be interesting to see how they fared.

 

[mark st1]

Guardiola must be getting itchy feet to get back in the game then.

not to mention Serie A, the UEFA Supercup, the Coppa del Rey and the Intertoto Cup.

Who seems to have been sacked on a whim at a time when Chelsea were doing quite well under Ancelloti.

 

[defy-one]

Guardiola must be getting itchy feet to get back in the game then.

I reckon this is the most likely appointment

 

[mark st1]

Benitiz as "interim manager" Chelski seem to like appointing them ? Then Guardiola at the end of the season. I dont see anyone being secure in that job Di Matteo was unbeaten top of the league till they played United. Yeh ok so they got spanked last night but still not out of the Champions League ? Abramovich's obsession with Guardiola is weird ! I hope he gets the job i can see him getting the bullet aswel yes he was uber successful at Barcelona but who could fail there they are the best club team in the world stuffed full of world class talent.

I hope the Spanish waiter Benitez gets it as that will be another title contender that United dont have to worry about

 

[172traindriver]

Abramovich is a total clown. He should try it himself and then he would be able to sack himself. The reality of it is when you are as wealthy a him, the word no is never uttered to him, so he get whatever he wants.
He just thinks his wealth can buy anything so when he doesn't have it his way he just does away with people.
A shame for RDM, hopefully he will bounce back again.

 

[musa]

its a shame RDM has been given the chop after ''winning'' the CL but for me Chelsea still lack fluidity in their dimensional play, maybe their choice of formation needs tweaking
But with some of players they choose to play with is something their own destruction waiting to happen

as for Hughes, his mentality hasn't changed, you can't buy a team. He tried this with man city and it didn't produce much for him and eventually got the boot..hes treading on thin ice in my eyes. for Fernandez a successful business man, he has done 'business' no favour but hey thats the risk you take with someone else money for the cause of investment

 

[PaulB]

Chelsea fans on the radio saying they are ashamed of what's happening. What does a manager need to do to please this oligarch? The first London club EVER to win the European cup earns a shafting for it! It doesn't matter how good Pep Guardiola is, you can only piss with the cock you've got and he doesn't have a Barcelona-sized one at Chelsea and he won't have a Messi so how he's going to conjure some magic to keep Abramovich from sacking him mystifies me.

 

[Archie_tect]

He'll take the money to start, hold out for as long as he can on a fantastic pay deal, then take more money and go.
