Carlo Ancelotti will be fired after the Man - U game. The only way for him to keep his job is if Chelsea wins against Tottenham and avoids defeat against Man - U!!! Any other set of results and he's gone!

I don't see Chelsea winning against Tottenham and avoiding a defeat against Man - U so he should start packing. Commonsense would be to decide to fire him after the Man - U game but do it after the Arsenal game but I don't think Abramovich will have that kind of patience.

I'm taking bets starting.... now!

Which season?

Which league?

It's not as bad as it sounds. Sometimes it's a blessing in disguise. Top notch coaches have very water tight contracts. It's very expensive to fire them. Take Mourinho for example. When he was fired [3 years before the expiry of his contract], he was paid £10m and he started getting job offers immediately. Claudio Ranieri was also paid his whole salary for the remaining three years in his contract when he was fired [Ranieri's Pay Day]

Ancelotti also has a very water tight contract. It will be a huge pay day the day he is fired. Probably that is why he hasn't been fired yet!

and now running down inter

who's he???

My bookie pal told me, Man U will be marched with Inter and Chelsea FC with Copenhagen, will be interesting to see. In their opinion there all dull teams this season and it does not really matter whoever goes through. (read, UEFA not expect them to rake in big numbers in-terms of revenue.

Before you pray for and laugh at others note that he is not the Chelsea coach. He is the Chelsea manager.

And the reason why i have been missing is because the blue boys have been messing on the pitch.

Its clear that ancellotti is going to be fired. i think that the players and coaching staff want to 'hit' back at Roman. By refusing to 'play'. Drogba for one just gave away the penalty jana.

Roman has made it clear he is interested in profits. Can he have his profits and trophies at the same time? I doubt.

I expect a clear out of the old players and another long period of building a new team.

@sober - Do you still hold this opinion or you have tampered your expectations?

Just been thinking, If you were a chelsea fan, like my poor sorry self, and were given the opportunity to just say five words to ance-who, what would they be?
