I actually have some sympathy for AVB, those players have been anti him from the start, if rumours are true it's Terry, Lampard, Drogba and Cole stirring it up making life as difficult for him as possible.
Roman should be down there bollocking the lot of them reminding them who the boss is, do you think SAF would allow that to happen at OT, never in a million years.
AVB is trying to show his authority but they're just undermining him constantly, texting and tweeting last night doesn't give the impresion that they give a ****.
So who goes
AVB
The desenting players
or
Roman, finally says **** this I'm done and walks away.

I'm here reading, don't worry about that, just not much I can say. Can't believe RA will stick with AVB and his "project" which....if it is to completely **** us up, is going rather nicely 
Out of the CL and FA Cup in the next few weeks, and it has to bye bye?
Know what it's like being a Luverpooh fan now, except with no criminal record

Steamed the game and SHOCKING.........
I cannot believe how bad we've become.Even thou AVB will get the sack the player's have to take a look at them self.
Ashley Cole couldnt be any worse,Lampards quiet, Ramires isnt involved and Matas giving the ball away,Sturridge is having a shocker,put though 1 on 1 with the keeper and he bottled it.
If they don't want to fight for the Manager - what about the fans? F*ck them.

If you were a chelsea fan you may be very worried tbh, Roman does not give his managers proper time to settle in and shoves his nose in to too many managerial desisions (football wise), hence he unsettles the team as he over rides his managers.
You need to get rid of the dodgy russian, then and only then can you really look to the future as its not looking good just now

If I were a Chelsea fan? 
Should I be an Arsenal fan, happy not winning anything for 7 seasons, but hey at least our manager has been with us for 16 years!?
RA has been there 10/11 years, managers have come and gone, we win something most seasons, so there isn't a problem winning stuff. We were going no where with AVB, he couldn't make proper substitutions to change a game.
The only one that I haven't agreed with was Ancellotti

Is Di Matteo going to better between now and the end of the season? It all seems set up for Mourinho to come back in as he is never going to leave Madrid before the end of the season and I would be surprised if he leaves before the end of next to be honest. Why didn't they sack him before Hiddink signed for Anzhi (sp)

I agree with this. I mean the players that have ultimately helped get him the sack are the players that any future manager needs to get rid of to make Chelsea competitive again, and it's not as if they're all mid to late 20 year olds who are the future of Chelsea. With the FFPR around the corner I don't see how they can replace these players and meet these new rules

Hiddink is a troubleshooter, he goes to clubs or countries and works his magic for a year, maybe two. At Anzhi he is just filling his coffers up while he can, and I don't blame him one bit. He would have been a mug to go to Chelsea, as it will be nigh-on impossible to achieve what Abramovich wants, in the window he wants it done in.
). Hiddink could have made a decent wedge out of Chelsea. I don't think RA knows what to do but I do think he should have stuck with AVB until the end of this season at least. Unfortunately the players are as much to blame as the manager and the board/RA, and you're stuck with the players until the summer so AVB pays the price. It doesn't matter how good a manager you are, if the players won't play for you then you're doomed. If Mourinho comes in he's got to get rid of the very players that got AVB the sack.

....but that is what Chelsea are after, by installing Di Matteo until the end of the season they must have a plan which is a name that is/might be available come then?(haven't they).

Chelsea fans reaction. 
What a mess.
I bet certain senior players are happy this afternoon. Do I expect a response from these senior players? Yes.
But for one game - max.
Then normal service will resume, they'll fail to deliver and those who think they're perfect will start to realise that they're past it.
Tells the whole story. Another manager sacked by the players.
We're one of the worst-run football clubs in Europe
The board and Roman have bottled it. Again.
Cartoon club.
Surely JT is the only viable candidate for manager job now, he's about the only person in the world the old guard won't try and depose within 3 months
Would of preferred Mick mcarthy an di Matteo.
We are a joke of a club
No chance will our so called star players respect di Matteo.
This hurts more than any defeat this season
Midtable here we come!
As much as I like Di Matteo, are we really expecting a guy who got sacked by WBA to lead us into champions league?
We are a cancer right now, if I were a football coach I wouldn't touch Chelsea with a barge pole, it might be well paid but if you want a job for a long time forget it.
Merry go round football club, and the people at the top need to take a long hard look at this club right now.

What a complete mess RA and Co have made.He was never the right man for the job because the players were never going to respect him as a coach.
Lampard,Cole and Drogba should be ashamed of themselves.
