Why do you think he is a crap Manager? seems to me he is making a decent job so far, all be it with the team he inherited, but NOT the back-room staff, unlike a certain Bolton manager who seemed to throw out the baby with the bath water, so if nothing else that has got to be a plus point surely, not changing every thing at once just for changes sake. You do not trust him, Why? has he stab you in the back? still owe you money? slagged you off behind your back? or is it because of media speculation? or he has not got a big name in the game, and are not willing to give him a fair chance because he has taken over from the best manager in Chelsea's history, who you and a fair few other people where shocked at his leaving, including myself, and the way in which it happened. As for the players not trusting him, do you know this from FACTS, have these players actually said as much to you or the media, or are you basing this fact on speculation, just like our famous media do, just to sully the already mucky waters.

Next season perhaps, but not this season.

Fair, Fair, We can not be fair it's bloody liverfool we are talking about, if things where fair in this world, they would be playing in the British gas northern division with their counterparts Accrington Stanley, that to me is fair.

Very good response Chippy, I specially like :- "as I said before if a big name Hiddink or Lippi type manager had have came in with the same results he would have a lot of people right behind him by now instead of waiting for the fall." Never a truer word said, the majority of fans are/where waiting for him to fail, but by him failing so would Chelsea our team, so in retrospect lets us all get behind Avram Grant, Top Cat and Clarky and see where a 100% support of our Manager, players will take us this season, you never know it could be upwards all the way, I for one am always optimistic and really believe it to be so.

and the next two seasons saw back to back Premiership titles, two league cups, an FA Cup and a Charity Shield. Surely it has to be in three seasons, if you are going to include winning the FA cup. Good read none the less, and the site is becoming an great site, congratulations for your hard work Loz and every one else that is involved.

There has been storm clouds over the bridge for quite a few months now, even longer if you believe the gutter press, but no one was expecting lighting to strike when it did, not even Roman, if my guess is correct, so why would he have a back up manager ready to take the place of Jose, when in all probability he was not ready to shove Jose out the door, there was a "manager" in the club also Clarkie was still around so there is a short term fix, lets see what this short/long term fix can accomplish, then we can proceed from there. I also agree with Chippy, very good summarising post Carefree where ever you may be, we are the mighty CFC.

I'll want to see a new catering lady, the tea and sausage rolls are urg tasteless and tepid.

Oh well he sure has got this prediction game worked out, what a ? (looking for a word, bit like he's looking for a result) muppet, that will do.

So he would be used to the situation where we find the club is in again, living on hope and a prayer, and that all we can hope for is maybe a win, but would gladly settle for a draw, but praying we do not lose.

A new manager who is hungry for his self as well as the team, who has a proven track record that this league and hopefully that this team is not above him, as much as I would like Ruud and Luca back, I give you Mark (sparky) Hughes.

If it had of been Jose, it would have been 1 - 0, maybe, perhaps 2 - 0, but we would have shut up shop, no question, no! it is nothing to get carried away over, but none the less it was 0 - 4 away from home, so it was a start, a decent performance, hopefully a sign of better things to come.

For the love of Mary, DON'T hold back Lofty, tell it as you really mean it, cause I'm with you.

We bloody need one and QUICK.

Oh but I must. Ask that is.

2-0 Chelsea, it's always 2-0, just ask Lawro.

Did I hear some thing, or was it the wind, just carrying the bin dippers lament

Why reply to the bin dipper at all, just ignore him/them. Their more to be pity-ed than reasoned with.

That's what Mark Lawro predicts, always 2-0, and he's hardly ever right. don't mean to put the mockers on like TT.

Six days between 20-00 20-30, some times I stay up really late, till 21-00, but do get some shut eye in the afternoon, and like all good Christians, do not work Sundays, so I for one welcome sky's Sunday football.

Yeah, I don't think these cats in the UK quite appreciate how much work it is to get up at 2, 3, 4 am just to watch Chelsea! Oh! but some off us do, if you get up every dark deary English morning 2/3am, to make sure people have got their milk, for their late morning tea and cornflakes, you would appreciate getting up just occasionally once in a while in the beautiful sunny summer mornings in Oz to watch the boys. wish I was as well off as you sunshine dwellers

I agree whole heartedly with you view TomP, it seems a much fairer selection system.

Of course we can win it, under Jose as well, it often takes a bit of luck to reach the finals of a cup competition, but as they say, luck favours the brave, so lets be brave, go for the EPL and CL with our first team selection, then use the second team in all games for the FA and CC competitions. Be Brave, Be Lucky, Be Successful.

To be fair to him, (poll ) he did state in the article, that on review it was a harsh decision.

Congrats to you as well TT you profit margin has just gone up a few notches.
