So dead on this Chelsea board today.
If AVB was a better manager thus us having a better season, I guarantee this board would be lively with everyone getting along well.
So aswell as blaming AVB for our rubbish season, I also blame him for our somewhat inactive board.
Thats not the point I wanted to make anyway. What I am kinda baffled with is his tactics at neutralising player power and weeding out the rubbish players (well not so much). His player managment has been so poor this season. Whats the point of alienating (spellcheck), our veterans yet still not throwing in the likes of Bertrand, Lukaku and Josh more often?
I know those 3 are not ready to be established first teamers, but if you want to put your foot down with the Chelsea old guard then at least throw in the youth. I don't think the likes of Lampard, Malouda, Drogba, Kalou and co are gonna be motivated to play for the manager for the remainder of the season.
To summarise: AVB has mucked up by alienating* our regular first teamers, while still relying on them and at the same time not giving some of our youth players on the brink of the next level, hardly any playing time.
Poor man management by AVB on that part.
JOSE IN (cant have him going Spurs!!!!)
Just another AVB article

Rush this next step, and we could end up with N'Gog's

True.
While some team selection issues and substitutions have been questionable and tactics off most players and managers have a grace period of a season. People like you don't have the decency to give him even that and are acting as if we're fighting for relegation. Most of the serious cockups have come from players individual performances. It's the media and fake posters like mr Cappello that are getting to you

Why do you think AVB is right for Chelsea? Does he have experience of managing players? Has he got experience of the premier league? Has he tactically impressed you this season? Has he tightened up our defence which has been a problem for months now? Has he put What about his media skills? Are they any good? How about his managing of our older players? Has he handled them properly? What do you think of his ridiculous quotes coming out of from him recently labelling Torres the same as Shevchenko and "Lampard and me dont have to talk, we're not married" Improving squad harmony there isnt he? Why did he think the highline was gna work with players like Terry, Lampard and Drogba? Why does he constantly play Bosingwa/Meireles/Malouda? Who's to blame for that shambles of a match against Napoli? He's got the worst win percentage of any Chelsea manager for the last 15 years or something. 3 league wins in 11 matches tells its own story doesnt it?
I dont get manipulated by the media. I dont get influenced by Capello's articles either. I say what I see on most things Chelsea. If people like you dont like to hear criticism then thats your problem not mine. My own personal view on this whole mess is give him another season. Might aswell now. Too late to sack him. Paid 13m for him but I honestly dont think he'l get us the league title. He'l get us top 4 for a few years but that'l be only due to the vast amount of money that Roman will give him in the summer but both he and the players are to blame for this seasons farcical performances.

So our manager should start off perfect and end up crap like Carlo and Jose as opposed to start off rough and improve.

Well your above comment makes my reply relevant. <Ok>
We are two thirds into the season and AVB is showing no signs of improving Chelsea's season.

Mr C
Which of our past managers would do any better with this squad and without Romans money? It's ludicrous to suggest that others can do it without it. Of course money is necessary to challenge for top spot.
As for his handling of the players, when they show such pathetic, and it has been pathetic, attitudes they should be treated as such. Why should they be pampered and adored when they can't perform nor act as a professional? The Lampard/married comment was made jokingly as I understand it.
AVB was brought in to play attacking football which he came good on earlier. The problem is we don't have the players good enough to get back on defense after we break down the field so we have gone back to boring defensive/slow football. He was always going to get to make the team he wanted. I don't suppose he would've come otherwise. When that happens I'm sure plenty of people will be slapping their foreheads for wanting him out.
Players need to leave. Not AVB. Your opinions are fine. I just think they're a little short sighted.

You addressed the names and not the reason. They both started fantastically and ended horribly. Even Jose. Carlo had us playing horrifically. Never changed tactics or players. I didn't think he should've been cut loose but it's happened and now were in another situation where I don't believe a manager should be let go.

United had a slow start in the league, including a nine-match winless run incorporating eight draws and a defeat, from September to November, followed by a mid-season run of strong form which lifted them from mid table to the top three, before a run of disappointing results to the season dragged them down to 11th place in the final table. They suffered an early exit from the League Cup and lost their final chance of silverware in March when they were beaten by Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford in the FA Cup quarter final.
