I will be at the game against Citeh on Sunday and I hope all fans in the ground voice their feelings loud and clear to Roman Abramovich about his immbecilic, childish, decision making regarding the manager's position.

OK, I like every other Chelsea fan will always be grateful for his injection of his cash into OUR club but as a football administrator and ultimate decision maker he is a joke. He has made our club a complete and utter laughing stock. I don't what the Russian words are for Patience and Loyalty but I am pretty sure Roman doesn't know the meaning of them.

As for Benitez taking over, well, don't even get me started.

Chants of "There's only one Di Matteo" should be sung. And maybe boos if we get Rafa and he's introduced...

As much as it is embarrassing that RDM has been sacked lets remember that no football owner has done more for a football club that abramovich

I'd love to hear Robbie chants at the game, but a protest? f**k that. Completely unnecessary.

Roman is clearly a fan like the rest of us, sure he's maybe a little impatient, but so are many other fans - people have been calling for Robbie's head for a few weeks on here now, and it was clear that he wasn't ever first choice for the job.

No good can come of protesting against Roman.

So upset and angry. Wonder what the players are thinking right now.

Will be furious if we get benitez.

I have to agree...I absolutely hate this decision (and the Carlo one)...like it makes me genuinely angry...

But Roman has done more for this club than anyone else. He's sunk his money and a great deal of passion into us, and without him, we wouldn't even be having these conversations about how disgusted we are that a manager is being sacked for being 3rd in the league, and in danger of being eliminated from the champions league

That said, stop firing all our f**king managers Roman.

Don't protest against Abramovic.

Cheer for Di Matteo

A protest is a stupid idea but a I show of support for Robbie sounds like a good idea to me. If Benitez does come in hopefully we can get "Fat Spanish Waiter" going.

Don't agree with that at all. Without Ken Bates and his decade long fight against the property developers there would be no Chelsea Football Club.

Roman is a kid playing with a toy. He has done nothing more for Chelsea than Sheikh Mansour is doing at Citeh only with much less patience.

Wasn't we going bust before Roman brought us.

Show that you back Rdm by all means but to boo a new manager is awful. Roman is fast turning this club into a joke! Sick and tired of it all tbh.

Tom do you have a mortgage? if you do and your asset is worth more than your debt are you going bust?

No. We had debts and were attempting to re-structure those debts but we were not going bust.

If us fans don't have the balls to stand up and protest Abramovich will continue to repeat the same short-sighted decisions over and over again.

What sets us apart from city is 2 premier league titles, countless fa cups, the champions league, the best u18s team in the country and we have made a profit

Who are romans advisors? Or does he just do this of his own back every time? f**king awful decision. Not even out the champions league yet and we are 4 points of the top in premier league with the leaders to play sunday.

Protesting against Roman would achieve absolutely nothing.

Further more it was probably the right choice....

Bollocks to a protest. I love Robbie and feel gutted this morning but maybe mistakes have been made. No striker last night? Why was Lukaku loaned out. where are our other loan players so we can rotate and not drive the 3 amigos into the ground. I don't agree with the decision per se and not all decisions may be made by Robbie. But a protest never. We may not like the idea of Benitez because of Liverpool connection but he may just do a good interim job for us.

The cups and titles are already starting to come for Citeh, that's what you expect when you inject millions into a club as Abramovich and Mansour have.

As for the Chelsea "make a profit" comment. Creative accounting and Roman's deep pocket certainly played it's part with a view on the FFP rules to be implemented. As noted by The Independant at the time;

"The club said in a statement they had made £28.8m profit in the transfer market, which is surprising given that Chelsea spent £74m on players over that period with arrivals including Romelu Lukaku (£20m) and Juan Mata (£23m) while sales only amounted to £18.5m. However, Chelsea say the cost of the signings have been spread over the length of each player's contract.

Chelsea have had to concentrate on improving the balance sheet with the FFP rules coming into effect, which threaten to ban clubs from the Champions League if they fail to live within their means.

Significantly, Intergroup debt of £166.6m was capitalised into equity during the course of the year strengthening the balance sheet and making Chelsea FC plc debt free. Effectively, Abramovich has paid off the debt".

There is no way that any of you seriously thought RDM was going to stay on no matter what the circumstance. I love Robbie and he did a fantastic job filling in the managerial role for us but I knew this was coming. Ancelotti was a dodgy sacking and one that upset me because it really made no clear cut sense if you ask me. Why the hell would we protest against a man who has turned this clubs fortunes around? Roman has a big vision for Chelsea that isn't complete but is starting to take shape. PEP could be on his way.

With all that said, if we give Benitez the job I'll vomit all over this keyboard.. No! No! No! (Highly doubt it though)

Lol I could argue with so many things wrong in that article but all I will do is point out where it says abramovich has paid off the debt...yet another thing he has done

Tom do you have a mortgage? if you do and your asset is worth more than your debt are you going bust?

Rather depends on whether you can service the interest on that mortgage.

That's not really creative accounting. The spreading of the cost of an asset over its' expected lifetime is standard accounting practise. The capitalisation of debt to equity is also a tangible injection of cash which, incidentally, doesn't directly impact the profit and loss account. There has been a huge indifference to the fact that we have actually made a small profit rather than a massive loss. It has pissed on so many people's bonfires that they can't bring themselves to recognise it as any sort of achievement.

That doesn't mean I agree with or am happy about Robbie's sacking. I think it is madness. But given the choice between having Roman and not, I'll choose have.

People are quick to have a go at him at the moment but since he joined the club we have been the highest spenders in the world and recently, the CL aside, our performance has not reflected this.

What sackings has he got wrong? Scolari clearly deserved it and in hindsight wasn't qualified for the job. Both Ancelotti and AVB went on absolutely dire runs and it was clear the team was going nowhere. RDM spent a fortune in the summer but has recently seen the side hit absolutely horrendous form with little suggestion of improvement.

We have fallen behind Man City and Man Utd who have been terrible this season and the form we are on suggests we may struggle to reach the top 4, which is pathetic. We are all but out of the champions league and that is inexcusable.

We spent a fortune in the summer pretty much just on attacking midfielders when it was clear that we were massively struggling in the middle of the park and in the striker areas.

I really hope we don't get Rafa though, the Premiership and his Liverpool side were particularly boring when he was about.

protest what? the league titles his investment has helped win? the fact we became champions of Europe under his ownership? the multi million pound investments? The fact that since he has owned the club we have had our most successful ever period?

Get a grip....
