jmr Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Should give RdM until the end of the season atleast. Don't mind Rafa though, still think he's a very good manager, just hope we don't get idiots saying "give Torres another 6 months to see if Rafa can get him back", he's done, finished and we need a striker in Jan.

Tony7 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Least Benitez will get the best out of Torres. I doubt he will play Hazard, Mata and Oscar in same team though as he likes his sides to be more compact and hard to beat. Rumours at the moment nothing confirmed and would think he will wait at least until after group stages before taking any actions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Hall Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Strong rumours that Liverpool and Chelsea are negotiating a deal for Sturridge £15 million is the believed fee. I feel there are better players about for the fee but he is quick young and scores goals so hopefully if he does join he will do well for us.I find it sad that a manager who around 20 games ago won the champions league along with an FA cup just days before could be getting sacked. Chelsea were flying until 3 weeks ago now a few bad results and it looks like a matter of time until he gets sacked. I completely agree with you.

bridgekings Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 If I have to put up with another 6/12 months of Torres because people think Benitez might 'get the best out of him' then I will lose it. You know that's probably his pitch to Roman too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you keep him because he was great at Barcelona or do you judge him by what he has achieved at Chelsea and sack him because of a few bad results? Pep did great at Barcelona but lets not forget you had a manager who won the World Cup and another manager who won champions league with Milan both didn't last more than a season.

shanyi Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Statement on the official site confirming Di Matteo's sacking. Absolutely ridiculous, we were top of the league only a few weeks ago and yes, our recent performances have been poor and we're almost certainly out of the CL, but that's down to deficiencies in the make-up of the team, not the manager. We'll be sacking a new man every November at this rate, although that's not too far from Abramovich's usual firing rate. I'm not saying RDM was perfect (the XI put out last night was a definite contributor to the loss), but he deserved at least until the end of the season to put his team together.

JackJCFC Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Don't think they ever wanted RDM as manager but after he won the CL it almost forced them to give him time. Don't see the point in sacking him, what is the next manager going to differently? We're already as good as out of the CL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Ths is absolutely horrendous. Abramovich needs to **** right off.

football_master_94 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 What Jack said (re: Di Matteo). I don't think Abramovich ever really wanted him to be more than a stop-gap to steady the tide post AVB and was kinda forced to play his hand and get him in due to the achievements of last season. **** me we were **** last night, too.

Tony7 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 RDM appointment was similar to Dalglish. Owners didm't want him but fan pressure got them in but at least Dalglish got a season and able to bring in his own players. Abramovich has been great for you giving you 3 league titles I think, a few fa cups and a champions league and seeing players playing at the bridge that before you could only dream of. Unfortunately for you guys its his toy and he does what he likes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tcoleman1 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 As much as Abramovich annoys me with his quick and rash decisions, where would we be without him? Still don't agree the RDM decision though. I think we could have still challenged for the PL with him if we bought a striker in Jan and its not like a new manager can change the outcome of the CL as it isn't up to us. Won't be apply unless its Pep or another long term replacement as otherwise why sacked RDM? We weren't gonna come 6th again that's for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razzler Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I think the Premier League title is maybe there for a shot at for a change for Chelsea. Little short in recent seasons but done some super quick re-building, which gelled relatively quickly but it's Torres and this insistence on him that'll cost in the long run. If you had an actual proper striker I really think the title is there to be won this season. City are unbeaten but just not convinced or got anyone excited. United are gonna end up limping towards it with their weekly squad rotation, under-manned central midfield and great striking power :/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
