desmond_tutu Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Even if the man won the league, the fa cup and league cup next season, he'd still be sacked cause he didn't win the CL. Crazy! It's an obession with Roman Abramovich, that CL is more important than the Premier League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UTR.93 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 he won't last 18 months unless he does something extremely amazing. Which giving that Abramovic will interfere with the team no doubt, he will fail. If he leaves him to do his job he might actually succeed in the Champions League!

smiffy Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 The man knows what Chelsea are like, and Abramovic, he was there long enough before, this bloke learned under two of the greatest managers ever, don't write him off . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perky1106 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 He's only 33 and already managing Chelsea with no experience whatsoever as a footballer. That is remarkable. How he does at Chelsea depends on what confidence he has. If it's anywhere near Mourinho's he will flourish. A lot of Scolari's problems were due to a language barrier but if he was mates with Bobby Robson and got his coaching badges in Scotland his English should be good enough.

Duracell Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 A league title in Portugal, where they had the best team by far, and an Europa League. Is this really good enough for Chelsea? Or what Chelsea aspire to be? Remember Mourinho had won a Champions League with Porto, much harder. He's 33 as well, and with the ego's of some of the players at Chelsea - Drogba, Terry etc, I don't think they will look up to him and be motivated by him. I'll give it till Christmas when they're languishing in 6th place, and he will be out. Mate, it's a little more than just a league title. Porto had a tripple-winning season. They were only the second Portugese club to have an unbeaten season. They finished 21 points clear, and were miles better than anyone else. In short - he managed one of the greatest ever Portugese sides. And how can he win the Champions League when he wasn't even in it? Villas-Boas has vast experience in his field, don't forget. His age lies. While most 33 year-old managers are barely starting out, this guy has been absorbing the game like a sponge since the age of 17; he's an absolutel whizzkid. One of the things he's seen at all the clubs he's studied at is how the greats deal with big egos. He couldn't have been much of a success at Porto unless he learned how to deal with big-time players. His Porto side clearly did not struggle for motivation, either - they won games they didn't have to win, and demolished sides when 2-0 was enough. Ok, he might be a flop, but if that does happen it will be more of a case of Chelsea not being the right club for his skills rather than having a lack of them. Every managerial appointment is a gamble, but this one at least is a calculated one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceland Ram Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I give it until the end of season Chelsea never give manager good enough chance. He should be given at least 3 years in charge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CumbrianRam Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 Roman doesn't really care if they win the league or finish fourth, he wants that European Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
