Management is a lot harder when you are in a league with more then two teams. and u managed one of them!!!

One more defeat and the English media will have their knives out....

So what; he's lost a couple of games big deal.

Then why don't they play in Manchester? And why are 99% of their fans non-Mancunians?

if you manage chelsea you win the champions league or you are out harsh but true.

Yeah, and that's why England will never go past the quarters in any international competition for the next forty years, either.

Really. Patience is a virtue, guys. Not a personal fault.

but its not the Angles fault, its the money which dictates. They need an English
manager that knows how to put a team together and that can take the heat, the
legend of Clough lives on, Martin O'Neil might take the job although granted hes Irish,
yet that's about as good as they can get. Someone needs to help them out.

It's the same attitude, and I must say, the same attitude you display. The demand - not merely desire, but demand - for instant gratification. We want success, and we demand it now! And if you don't give it to us, we'll jeer at you and demand that the coach is replaced. And no, we won't accept any feeble excuses about "long-term plans", because anybody knows that long-term plans in English football are all bogus, both for the clubs and for the national team!

Yeah, and it's true, at that. Long-term plans in English football are bogus. But they're bogus because British fans and the English press make them so. If you had a bit more patience with Villas-Boas, you might even learn build a national team, one which works over more than a four-year period, insteadof the repetitive national row you have now.

No. Money dictates everywhere else, as well - it's only (or at least, only to this extreme) in Britain that the three-day memory of the press mosquito and the even shorter brainspan of the black-cabbie rule even over money.

not so, look at Bayern Munich (peace be upon them), look how they have year after
year produced a truly superlative football team. To build a formidable football team like
that you cannot say that they simply bought success, like the Real Madrid or the
Barcelona, the Manchester City or the Chelsea of this world. They have hordes of
German nationals which play in that squad. No something else must account for their
phenomenal financial and footballing success and its not just Ribery and Robbens.

Lol, after the match he was visibly shaken, he could hardly look at the camera, ok, so
chealski have reached a low point, it was Arsenal a while ago, Liverpool before that.
They have no consistency chealski and no one has any sympathy for them, will Boas
survive, yes i think so, what's the alternative? splashing out another 12 squillion?

Well, they could always get a cheap home-grown coach - and get their money's worth by ending up fourth from the bottom. 😛

Gus is free again. I think they'd be foolish not to give Boas 2 seasons and the money to improve the squad but they are owned by a Russian so...
