Can't disagree more

Served him right for playing players who just taking p!ss out of CFC

I've been saying this for weeks, in fact... months. The guys is clueless and it became apparent at the DW stadium IMO

It's easy to say this with hindsight. At the end of the day, Lampard and Cole are proven in the league and should be performing much better than that.

There's a limit to what the manager can do. If the players won't perform than no end of managers will make them do that.

What will it actually achieve though? Keep AVB

I want our players to make less money.

Even I showed my loyalty in fifa 12 and gone back to Chelsea from real Madrid and been relegated twice

Roman cant sack AVB until a good replacement becomes available, though I have a feeling we/he dont have much choice, things will only get worse before they improve. Chill out lads no need for this melodrama, at some point in the future the sun will shine and the birds will twitter once more.
The younger ones here fed on 15 years of the team enjoying top 4 status, and inevitably a season horribilis turns up and we are all in a flutter, you have no idea what "bad" really means.

Performance related pay?

I dunno, they need to stay above the poverty line

OUR SEASON HAS GONE BEYOND RIDICULOUS NOW!!!!

WE JUST LOST TO WBA!!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!!!???

CANT WE WIN A GAME UNDER AVB?????!!!!

Que the "we beat City, Bolton last week etc"

If we sack AVB now, we would've spent 13mil on a man with vast potential and sacificed him to give these pitful excuses for professionals at our club another three months and probably buy themselves yet another season.

AVB is inexperienced and incredibly naive. But the dressing room is beyond words.

If heads don't roll this summer, whoever's doing the rolling, i'll be personally insulted as a fan.

If you swap our entire dressing room for Porto + Falcao tomorrow. We'd make top 4.

Spurs, Arsenal are better than Porto. This Chelsea side SHOULD be better than Porto.

That's exactly my point. We are better.

Those Porto players gave their souls for AVB last year, and under his guidance would've lived in the company of the top 4 in this season's PL no question.

In 1989 Man Utd had a bad run of results and it was widely touted that he was on his way out of Old Trafford. The fans were calling for his head but thankfully the Utd board had the sense to give him time and let him totally retructure the footballing side of things in a club where things had gone stale and previous managers were too insecure to worry about anything other than immediate results. It is said that it was only the FA Cup win against Forest that saved him but if the Board are to be believed that is not the case. He arrived on the back of breaking the Old Firm domination in Scotland by taking Aberdeen to the title and the Board recognised in him a man who could do the job his own way. What if they had listened to the baying hordes of supporters. The rest is history but it took 3 years to start achieving that.

AVB arrived at Chelsea with impeccable credentials from his time at Porto to a team that was underperforming and were demanding instant success. Loads-a-money available for a quick fix. Blackburn tried that and look what has happened to them since their initial success. Man City will probably be the same.

AVB is young for a PL manager and probably feels the pressure of needing success more than a more experienced manager would. Having all that money available may have been more of a hindrance than a benefit. Give the man a chance and let him do things his way.

Watson, great post
