Di Matteo SACKED!!

Source!!

Chelsea sack manager Roberto Di Matteo after poor run of form

"The team's recent performances and results have not been good enough and the owner and the Board felt that a change was necessary now to keep the club moving in the right direction as we head into a vitally important part of the season," read a statement on the club website.


"The club will be making an announcement shortly regarding a new first team manager."

The sad thing about the Shaktar goal against FC Nordsjælland was how the danish captain actually talked to the ukrainian agreeing Nordsjælland could just walk up and get a "free" goal and the whole incident would be forgotten - yet some of the ukranians didn't accept this and went on to defend.

I have never seen such unsportsmanlike conduct... Regardless of the result I hope someone brings this up with UEFA somehow. I don't know what to do - but breaking fairplay in football is horrible... Just horrible... Especially with FIFA doing everything they can for "Respect" and "Fairplay"... And I somehow find it even worse considering it's a non-white player - one of the guys FIFA actually wants to defend with all their campaigns. I don't know if I'm out of order stating this


Yeah that's what upsets me personally the most - it may happen that the striker somehow missed that the ball was supposed to be played back to Nordsjaelland (although one might wonder what that guy gets payed for actually if not paying attention to the fucking game), but Donezk refusing to just let Nordsjaelland score again is just pathetic. I'm not sure how difficult it was to communicate, but at least the Shaktar coach should have told his team to just let it happen. So he's the one to blame in my eyes.

Edit: Just watched the videos right again, Luiz Adriano definately saw that the ball was coming from the ref.

Well that was quick. Would have at least waited till the winter transfer period.

Anyway about Luiz, I'm one of those people that put the blame on him a lot because you don't get mediocre with this guy. You either get him intercepting every pass from the opposition or he gets caught 20 meters out of position. Either he plays a brilliant through ball or he plays it right to the opponent. Either his tackle is hard but on point or just plain retarded. He's inconsistent and that isn't a good trait for a defender.

Having said that, yesterday Chelsea lost the midfield battle.

I like how Lamps has higher odds than JT haha! JT has all the makings of a good manager, and Lamps only said about 1-2 months ago, that he actually wants to go into coaching now. Funny stuff xD

Another notch on the belt for Roman. How can Chelsea fans be ok with this dictator in power? I guess money and instant success is all most of you care about. Perhaps I'm just a naive fool for thinking loyalty, patience, and faith should count for something in today's football.

Anywho, I wonder if Pep is at all interested. He did seem interested in coaching in the Premier League, but I don't think he finds Chelsea very attractive. For one thing, he has a history with them from his Barca days, and even someone who only signs one year contracts will be perturbed by how quickly the guillotine seems to swoop down. I also got the feeling that he wanted to take over Utd when Fergie hung up his whips.

Apparently he's a clever dude, and while he's no saint himself, I don't think you would catch him fornicating with his players' (ex-)partners.

Not surprised, given the managerial revolving door Chelsea is, although a bit disappointed.

Will be interesting to see who takes over next.

Oh my word...


Didier Drogba asks FIFA for special permission to move on loan from Shanghai Shenua despite being outside the official transfer window #ssn

Drogba coming back to be manager? Or just to help out with some goals?

Way to paint everyone with the same brush. 90% of us are furious about it but don't let that stop your holier than thou attitude.

Haha Chelsea, seriously? you sack a manager that won the fa cup and the champions league with an old squad. I really hope Di Matteo goes to a decent club that respects him. And just for the karma and the lols i really hope they sign Rafa as their manager, hes such a clown.

Of course all past glories, but going back 3 years and he took a champions league winning team left by Mourinho to like bottom of Serie A (like 3rd from bottom) and the end of his Liverpool days they were piss poor, all be it they had a piss poor squad

But the difference is that benitez clearly completely fluked his champions league, im not sure Di Matteo did. Sure there was a lot of luck involved but i think he did get the old guard playing again and reminded them they could actually win something before they all retire.
