The Official Thread of Chelsea FC

In the words of Didier Drogba.

Its a f**king disgrace.

Overheard this morning...

RDM : So that's it after winning you the Champions League, 'goodbye and good luck'?
Abramovich : I don't recall saying good luck

It's a joke and this attitude of cherry picking managers and then dumping them will end up destroying the club. I hope Rafa doesn't join them for his sake.

[deiseach]

I'd be surprised if Rafa was offered the job. But if he were, he'd be mad not to take it. I mean, what has he got to lose? If it doesn't work out everyone will blame Abramovich.

I can think of mi££ions of reasons for Rafa to take it.

Any manager be mad not to take it, all you really need to do it sort a striker and a defender not difficult with the budget they are working with and they would be sorted. Those three mata, oscar and hazard are a joy to watch. Bit light weight but great on the eye.

What are we on about??  It 'as to be 'Arry

You would imagine that a sensible man whose profile is on the up (Guardiola) would not take this job.  Redknapp would jump at the chance.  I think that Guardiola and Redknapp are over-rated as managers anyway.  Guardiola walked into a job at Barcelona with the team already in place, and Harry Redknapp took over a Spurs team that were pretty decent and had finished pretty high up the table for a few seasons before he came and he ultimately achieved the unbelievable feat of pushing them to fourth.

The team Guardiola inherited had just finished in third place in La Liga, 18 points off Real Madrid........

Abromavich is some boy.

Spoilt child who spits the dummy out as soon as things don't go his way.

[Norf Tyrone]

This time last year, we lost in Italy, lost to WBA and sacked the manager.

The only question then is... Does anyone have a spare ticket for the CL final or the FA Cup final?

[deiseach]

If Di Matteo can get the Chelsea job on the basis of his record with West Brom, Steve Clarke must be a shoo-in.

[clarshack]

can shaktar and juventus kick the ball back and forward to each other and settling for a draw, without there being any kind of repercussions from uefa?

They had won the Champions League and League in the seasons before that one and the majority of the key players under Guariola's reign were already there when he took over.  They don't win the league every year as was shown last year when Guardiola's team finished 9 points behind Madrid.
