Chelsea chief executive Ron Gourlay warns potential new boss of the sack

... How can you expect your manager to win each and every season, or else he gets fired? It's just not realistic in a competition like the PL.

Ancelotti did great, yet he had to leave. It's just dumb management by Chelsea, cause now a new manager will have to come in, he will change the team, change the way they play, and maybe he'll win the league, but if he becomes 2nd place, he's out again!? It's ridiculous.

He also led us into the two most insipid capitulations in European competition I can remember from a Chelsea side since Ranieri left AND in the middle of the season managed our worst ever run of PL/all competition form in decades.

People tend to forget, and it's OK because like the idiotic sacking of Wilkins which also helped Chelsea lose their way this season he knew the score when he arrived. He came to make Chelsea play prettier football(only partially achieved) and to win the CL(which he's got NOWHERE near and been out thought both years by a WIDE margin and found wanting when it comes to having a way to change things from the bench)and as a result he's gone-and I LIKED Carlo after not wanting him here to begin with. He's a rare thing in football-a selfless and caring man with class and a heart. The way he's supporting hi charity rather than keeping the profits from his bio is incredibly touching but Chelsea should have won the league both seasons he was at the Bridge(and at a canter the first season)but mid season runs in both seasons nearly derailed him the first and did the second time.

Is it god for Chelsea that Roman has ZERO patience? NO, no it isn't but let's not kid ourselves into thinking the big error is in sacking Carlo because it wasn't-the big error was RA failing to reconcile with Jose and ruining our chance of building a dynasty and Mourinho, himself, ever developing beyond a results man as a coach. It hurt both Chelsea and Jose more than either like to admit but it's so damn true it's painful to see-such a waste on both sides.

In my view the sense in the spoken about Hiddink plus one set up is plain but Hiddink, as the ONLY football man Roman likes and trusts these days,might be too wise to take on a job that could upset his popularity espcially if he were to oversee the reign of a failed Van Basten at Chelsea. If VB WERE(or any other younger coach under Guus)to be appointed and to fail/be sacked and treated generally badly by RA-naturally.

You're right there, plenty of quality players but with a revolving door for each manager how can they get consistency?
Ron is just a mouth piece for Roman who is a muppet. If Chelsea do not to have any success in the next couple of seasons I'd say Abramovich will get bored and take his money elsewhere sending Chelsea plummeting from their over inflated, money stack. Chelsea in the Championship by 2015.
