Re: Big phill sacked

I think they had to & now seems as good as time as any....glad Liverpool already took 6 points off them before the new manager comes in.

Re: Big phill sacked

Honestly, i didn't see that one coming.

It makes you wonder what would have happened if they had snagged Robinho - perhaps they'd have more of a cutting edge.

matter of time? if thats your mentality then my god you lot expect alot of things from your club.

your 4th in the league, still in the champions league and fa cup! pathetic if any chelsea fan is glad his gone.

jesus you lot need to learnn how to give faith in a manager, not call for his head after half a blooming season! give the guy a chance and i bet he would of turned chelsea into a great side.

shocking news really and no,morinho would never manage chelsea ever again by the way your board treated him.

I think my point is that Chelsea don't really have any other candidate other then Sven......Hiddink's name will be bandied about but I fail to see how that would be any different to Scolari !

Re: Big phill sacked

Bit of a shock, although kind of expected.

I think they have to think seriously about the next appointment. A lot of links to Eriksson, Rikjaard & Zola.

If it was my decision I would appoint Martin O'Neill as he was done a great job wherever he has been.

I agree with you and think that is the reason why lots of managers will turn Chelsea down, they should have kept Jose and let him pick the team...

O'Neil is an exceptional manager and my nailed on cert for next Utd manager. However he would never be given the Chelsea job(or take it). His style of management would be totally out of place at Chelsea.
Sven will step in till the end of the season, Mark Hughes takes over in the summer.....thats my knee jerk prediction

Re: Big phill sacked

who would be a football manager?

Now you are sacked whilst you are still in with a decent chance of winning things.

I guess this means there are 16 managers of clubs below chelsea who's managers are well overdue being given their marching orders.

Re: Big phill sacked

Different beast in the top 4. Wenger is football royalty, he (along with certain board members) put that club on the map. Ferguson is a living legend and Rafa gave the Pool a champs league trophy........Scolari has taken Chelsea backwards (but not given time to turn it around) ! Not surprised he has gone but am surprised at the timing.

Re: Big phill sacked

You may say he has not been given enough time, but too much loyalty can have an adverse effect too.

As a chelsea season ticket holder,i have a right to comment.Hes made bad decisions all season,he may have won the world cup with brazil but he simple cant cut it in the premier league,and the fact hes been sacked proves it.

Let's not forget he had hardly any funds to spend (unlike the previous three managers). He hasn't been able to put his own mark on things IMHO - losing Steve Clarke was a real kick in the nuts too.

Re: Big phill sacked

Thats why Fergie has been so successful. Given time, money, players and virtual control over the football side of the club.

The only other manager to even come within touching distance of Fergie is Wenger.

Today, managers don't get results, they are out.

I bet Lee Martin is still on his Christmas card list. Fergie was heading for the exit until that cup win.
