......Surely out of work in the morning after tonight's result? Took a huge gamble and dropped some of the big names tonight and lost badly.

Will he go?

Coral he was 7-1 to be out of work by 3pm sat.

I dont think he will.

I think he'll struggle to keep his job after tonight. It makes sense to keep him til the end of the season but they could then find themselves outside the top 4

Why should he loose his job?

give him time for christ sake, and evaluate it at the end of the season :ayatollah:

Managers have struggled since mourinho because they can't get rid of the old guard.
Terry, Lampard, Drogba, Torres are past it.
Other players like ivanovic, malouda need replacing

Loved Napoli since Maradona era so delighted to see them beat Chelski tonight. Lavezzi and Cavani are the best strike partnership in Europe right now.

Was at the Nou Camp on Sunday. Barca's strike force isn't too shabby either.

That Messi fella got 4. Think he's one to watch for the future!

Agree there mate - sign him up Malky :) :) He's the best individual without a doubt but he doesn't seem to have a regular partner so much this season.

Because he's been on the ropes as it is but then he made a massive call to leave some of the stalwarts like Ashley Cole, Lampard plus then Torres on the bench and it backfired.

I'm only asking the question

The likes of Cole, Terry, Lampard, Drogba have far too much influence at the club and i think AVB will be kept and those players moved on in the summer. AVB was Abramovich's choice, apparently thats the first time he's actually chosen the manager and paid the compo (£15m) out of his own pocket. Can you imagine Fergie putting up with the likes of chelsea's old guard? Keane, Van Nistelrooy, Beckham.......player's shouldnt get to the stage that those were at.

Totally agree with the majority of posts above. AVB is only 34 years old and I think the bullies at the club have seen it as a chance to run things their way and it's just messing the club up. Something definitely happened to make AVB drop the big names so I reckon he caught wind that the likes of Lampard, Terry and Cole were stirring.

I like AVB. He is still making some errors but are they his errors or the team's lack of care? From what I have a seen a lot of the flaws in Chelsea at the moment are coming from the players. If Abramovich was a decent chairman he would come out and say "AVB is here for the next 2-3 seasons at least so like it or f**k off". Abramovich isn't a good chairman though, he won't do that and Chelsea won't win the Champions League so long as Abramovich is chairman.

Abramovich hates the press and is very camera shy, hence he never makes statements himself. AVB came out the other day and said "im here to stay, Abramovich is 100% behind me" AVB talking or Abramovich??

i dont think he will get sacked, avb cost chelsea a ridiculous amount of cash and he inherited a squad on the decline for the last two seasons.

he needs time , ship out the deadwood and build. he still has some good youngsters there in sturridge and bertrand kalou etc. but he needs to get rid of the rubbish like malouda, torres etc. hes a young manager also and the prem league is tough..
