Just saw it pop up on the BBC front page. Pathetic, he won the fucking double last season and finished 2nd this season, complete joke of a decision. Abramovich is trying to turn Chelsea into Real Madrid, sacking every manager who fails to win a trophy.

I just can't imagine who they'll get to replace him, and definitely can't think of anyone who could do a better job.

Abramovich, apart from being a sleazy adulterous embezzler, is obviously also a prize aunt.

Pretty crazy decision, I think a lot of managers will be put off going there despite the money they can earn out of it.

Remember what they did to Ranieri?
I remember him getting an ovation from united fans
way before the season was over for continuing to work
even though he knew he was getting fired.

Do you think they have someone else already lined up? Do you think he was sacked just for the results or something that happened behind the scenes?

Seems like a risky decision though. They have just spent £70M - will Roman want to spend a lot more money?! Their squad will be another year older. It's hard to see how they can improve on 2nd.

I'm wondering if it's a contractual thing - what's the chances he had "trophies" written into it and the lack of them means he goes, regardless?

Be a stupid contract, but i expect his bank account is suitably inflated for his troubles.

Didn't he promise to reveal the reason for their mid-season blip at the end of the season? I wonder if it's something juicy?

Chelsea really do lack class.

If they hadn't dispensed of Wilkins then they may have had more success this season too, something fishy going on there...
