Ancelotti-sacked In The Tunnel! by biodun70(m): 12:06pm On May 23, 2011 |
Yes, he got the news of the sack, from the Chelsea Chief Executive, in the Goodison Park tunnel following his post match press conference!. It's a shame that his time in Chelsea had to end in this way but, hey!- Sh*t happens. If you are elevated there comes a day when you are demoted.-Alan Clark Do I pity him? No I don't. These are some of the reasons why: He is paid well-To whom much is given, much is expected. With a £6million-a-year salary (only Capello earns more as a Manager in England) more was expected from him. Chelsea is not Arsenal- I often wonder how Wenger has kept his job till now. Lucky him!. We've got a ruthless Russian in charge at the Blues.Winning means everything to him( and that is not such a bad thing, by the way!) .Don't let that casual dress-down look on march day fool you!. You don't become a billionaire by adopting the jelenke (easy-going) approach to issues. He lost the dressing room- cardinal sin if you're a manager. His selections suggest this. The untouchables always get to play even if they continually underperform( think Lampard) while the fringe players are dropped for something as little as having a poor 45 minutes(think David Luiz-vs ManU at old Trafford). Young players rarely get a look in(think Sturridge before his loan move to Bolton).This can only mean that he was too much of a nice guy to ruffle overrated feathers or he let the so-called senior players dictate team selections-bad move!. You don't have this mentality while your boss is a certain Roman A.!. No plan B-He was outthought, outfoxed, outmanoeuvred by the oposition gaffer in too many games this season. He simply had no plan B(think the 0-3 home loss to Sunderland!, the loss to Everton at home in the FA cup) This should not be in the character of a top class manager paid megabucks Failing to deliver the 'holy Grail'- The Champions league- Preferisco La Coppa ("I prefer the cup" ![]() If your pikin fail, no be repeat he go repeat?-words alledgedly uttered by Sir Gabriel Igbinedion-when asked about his son's (Lucky )underperformance. Unfortunately, Abramovich doesn't share this ideology. He is not a Nigerian! :-) You can argue that the players let him down too. However he has to carry the can as he calls the shots.Ancelotti's performance this season can be summarised as follows: a lot of ugly, too much bad and not enough good. Hence he had to go. So, arrivederci Ancelotti!. Hasta la vista, Carlo! |
