Villas Boas (EX) Chelsea manager

[Chrono]

Maybe his management just isn't all that?

He is clearly not all that. All the hype about him and excuses for the team not trying but he is the manager of a team full of very good players and is achieveving nothing. Redknapp gets laughed at but this guy gets all the excuses. For me he is just not a good manager.

terry, lampard, cole and drogba run that club. its a disgrace

Why, it's not like Kenny is going anywhere, I wouldn't prefer AVB to Kenny either. As things stand, the only manager I would like instead of Kenny is Rafa.

He's a ****ing rude *******.

And he'll get a £10m payoff for his failure.

You know iv actually started to feel sorry for AVB now.

He's getting grilled about his future in every single press conference. I know that's part and parcel, but it just seems to be a bit of a witch hunt against him.

is he still there

West Brom 1-0 Chelsea.

And an FA Cup replay against Birmingham at St.Andrews coming up.

Tick tock...

Apparently, Luiz is telling Lampard to fall in line with the gaffer. Lampard has bailed them out so many times, yet lacks respect. I would be considering a bounce. I see Chelsea drifting back towards the mid table, especially when FFP comes into full effect.

"Chelsea have held discussions with Porto regarding potential replacement Hulk, 25. Blues owner Roman Abramovich is keen on the Brazil forward."

Come on Roman, step up to the plate and take over the manager's role. The world is waiting. I'd love to see him shouting his instructions from the dug out. He'd make Mike Bassett look like Rinus Michels.

Jumpy Villas-Boas is scared of Abramovich swinging axe, says Torres' mentor

Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas is running scared and is close to the sack.

That was the claim made on Wednesday night by the mentor of £50million Spain striker Fernando Torres.

Antonio Sanz, Torres' former agent and the ghost writer of his autobiography, says Chelsea and Villas-Boas are to blame for the striker's struggles.
Sanz said: 'Villas-Boas is not fulfilling Chelsea's expectations and he's really scared because he is really close to getting sacked.

'It's true that Fernando Torres' stats aren't that great and that's the reason he's not with Spain for the Venezuela game.

'But I don't think Torres has a problem, it's just that Chelsea aren't helping him find his form.

'According to Chelsea's players, there is a bad atmosphere in the dressing room.'

Sanz's comments follow Villas-Boas' criticism of Torres on Portuguese radio earlier in the week, when he compared the former Liverpool man to fellow Chelsea flops Andriy Shevchenko and Mateja Kezman.

And as doubts persist over Villas-Boas' future, Chelsea have been linked with former Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez, a move that ex-Kop hero Torres would welcome.

Meanwhile, Chelsea's out-of-contract striker Didier Drogba wants a net salary of £6million when he quits Stamford Bridge.

Drogba has just five months left to run on his contract, meaning he can enter discussions with clubs over a potential move.

He is attracting interest from the cash-rich Middle East and has already rejected a £4m-a-year offer from Qatari side Al Saad.

The 33-year-old is also a target for mega-rich Anzhi Makhachkala - managed by ex-Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink - who will offer £8m-£10m.

There is also interest from Chicago Fire of the MLS. Drogba would prefer to stay on a two-year deal but Chelsea will only offer 12 months.

Chelsea have held discussions with Porto regarding potential replacement Hulk, 25. Blues owner Roman Abramovich is keen on the Brazil forward.
