Ancelotti sacked

£#%&!ing pathetic. they don't deserve to have managers of that calibre working there and hopefully this will deter others. trying to achieve anything with abramovich wanting to act the meddling @#%&! all the time must be impossible. aside from the obvious financial benefits, these days they win things in spite of him, not because of him, and most of the barriers they face are caused by the disharmony he creates.

still, as has been said it's no stain on ancelotti's character and reputation, he's carried himself well at that circus and is one of the few managers to have provided a genuine challenge to united in the last 20 years.

villas boas has said he's staying at porto, he's just won the treble there and probably fancies a tilt at the champions league. so £#%&! knows who they'll get now. ray wilkins? avram grant? bebe?

i wonder where that shithouse "i don't want to say too much, but i do have roman's ear" captain JT was in all this.

Next West Ham manager. Nailed on.

£#%&!ing circus

If you get a 4/5 year contract you're laughing. They're one of the highest payers so you'd be on £75k+

Get fired after a year and you'll get the best part of £15m for a years work.

Nice way to retire.

Nice edit

It's daft, half these managers take the job based on what they will earn on being fired

I didn't edit it.

Looks like it'll be Hiddink next season.

he should have left when Wilkins was given the boot

then he should have left when he found out that his £70M transfer budget was being spent on Torres and a CB

but such a top bloke he thought he could see it through

def didnt deserve to be treated like that

imagine if they get Avram Grant back in some capacity?

Roman is supposed to want him as director of football, apparently

Wasn't that what he did when he first went to Chelsea?

Latest rumours are Hiddink to take over "Director of Football" roll and Van Basten taking over as manager.

Either way, delighted Ancelloti got the sack, a great footballing man and deserves to manage a club better and bigger than Chelsea.

They have and always will be a small club.

But for the fact that our Manager's a living legend, managed to keep the baying mob relatively placated, and is far too big to play the sacrificial Lamb..

..I'm pretty sure our wonderful owners would have no problem hanging him out to dry.

We'll see what their true colours are when Fergie retires. Just hope they go before he does.

Seeing the gimps off and passing the club over to safer hands will be one of Fergie's biggest goals before he leaves. It will shut up the morons that criticised him for not quitting when we got bought out as well.

In the meantime he's helped us knock the scousers off their perch and got to a handful of Champion's League Finals. Greatest manager ever and we should be thankful for everything he's done, particularly over the last five or six years.

Can't see that unless he's sacked. Would he want to work for Abramovich again?

What's Van Gaal doing now?

Hiddinks surely a possibility too.

let's not go over the top ffs. staying after his assistant got the boot over his head and against his wishes is hardly the sign of a 'top bloke', especially when you remember that quitting would have cost him quite a lot in compensation. he stayed on and probably got paid off quite handsomely when they terminated his contract, it's not like he's a £#%&!ing martyr or something.

Hiddink is nailed on to be part of the Chelsea setup, he's become a "yes man" to Abramovic following his spell in Russia (Didn't Abramovic pay his wages?)

Not overly fussed who gets that job, there becoming less and less of a threat to us with a aging squad.

he mentioned west ham but i wonder would qpr be more likely.

yep - the ageing squad is another reason why there's not a £#%&!ing chance that jose would go back there.

What really puzzles me is that there's only Arsenal who have looked at the main reason for our success and tried to implement the same ethos. They've took it too far, granted but Chelsea etc are £#%&!ing clueless!!

Take Ranieri for example, I think we're all agreed that he was good enough to have done what the managers since have achieved, so had they stuck with him they'd 1. Be no worse off and 2. With continuity be in a much stronger position. (imo)

Spoke to one of the Chelsea fans...

'Bit harsh on Ancelotti that'

'Nah, 2nd isn't good enough for a club like Chelsea'



They're £#%&!ing mad.
