Andre Villas-Boas

[Rudi]

How soon will he get sacked? Chelskie was booed off the pitch today after drawing with Birmingham...Things are gettin testy at Stamford Bridge

[Chrispy]

Birmingham had a really good chance to win it at the end too. I don't see him lasting much longer if they can't start winning.

[calgaryballer]

He'll probably get until the end of the season. I hope they give him more time though, he needs to get Terry/Lampard/Drogba out of the club so he can really put his stamp on the team.

[Rudi]

^I do agree with that...I think it's time for the Sturridge era to start. But I dont see them keeping AVB if they keep this poor play up, its just the way the business works.

CL qualification is a must. If he can't get fourth, he's out

Its Roman......so I give him to the end of the year, and he'll be back to Portugal after erasing this season from his brain.

[Rudi]

Interested to see what Chelsea brings to the table tomorrow for the Napoli game with their recent bad form.

[citizenerased]

Dead man walking, we got a dead man walking here.

[ZMnsr1]

Lol after that awesome lineup he used against Napoli and the result, he is on his way out.

It was always going to take a season or two for AVB, the squad is aging and only a few players fit what he wants to do. He really shlould've done more in the summer (if he could of), the squad clearly needed additions, if only to avoid the huge overhaul that will happen this summer (if AVB stays). Until then, he's clearly at fault for not being able to adjust, at a certain point it was clear to everyone that a high line wasn't going to work with this squad. It's February and he still doesn't know how to play with this team, the only period of real consistent success being the 4-3-3 with Meireles, Romeu and Ramires in the middle. I'd like to see him given another summer to build a squad that fits his ideology and really see how effective they can be.

How I feel as a fan as well. I want to give him time, but he still hasn't exactly impressed me thus far.

[1ke]

Aaaaaaaaand he got fired.

Roman.....When will this fool ever learn. Take note City fans, this is what your future looks like if City dont start winning things.

[Rudi]

lol typical united scum to take a shot at City when this has absolutely NOTHING to do with us. Someones salty

[Bigpapa42]

Actually, Rudi, I'd say it was a relevant comment - owners with unrealistic expectations and no patience do things like this.

This just reinforces the power of the players at Stamford Bridge. Any new manager who comes in is going to have to deal with that as well - players who wield too much power, will obviously fight change they don't like, and unrealistic ownership expectations. That's a bad set of dynamics.

You just dont get it kid.
