Starting a fresh topic for all new discussion on the sacking of AVB.

[Budgeezer]

He's been pathetic, but with that so have certain players.

Shame players don't get sacked eh?

[chelseamad]

We just can't keep clear of the headlines can we?

[Sir]

"With immediate effect Roberto Di Matteo has been appointed first team coach on an interim basis until the end of the season." - Erm.........

Just posted this in the post match West Brom thread, RDM's appointment just compounded the sacking of AVB.

I don't know whether to be pleased about this or not. On one hand I liked the guy and felt that given time to make his mark on the team/squad/tactics, we could have been amazing. On the other hand, we have been AWFUL recently, but then I don't know how much you can put that down to the manager, unfortunately I suppose he HAD to take the blame.

The next few weeks should be interesting, especially if we continue to perform badly.

[Phoenix Blue]

Here we go again!!!

Di Matteo in charge for the rest of the season

[StevenJ]

get a poll going!! I would choose Mourinho or Martin O'Neill, but I doubt we will go for either. Better NOT BE RAFA BENITEZ!!

Might as well let the players manage the team. Disgusting decision. The club have bottled it..they gave into the players rather than support the manager.

It's official..player power rules at the bridge.
