The other way of looking at it is that this a brilliant bit of timing by R.A.
If he saw that chelsea are not playing well and he believes that the likelyhood is that City will beat Chelsea under the management of RDM, then he thinks that if City go 7 points clear then Chelsea will not win the league.....So he decides best chance of winning the game is to get the 'positive bounce' into the team by appointing a new manager today.
If Chelsea win then it will be seen as a very shrewd move. If they lose it can be seen as new manager not having time to organise the team etc.
So either way R.A. comes out OK....

Other than plentiful supplies of oil and a capacity to inspire tiresome levels of snobbery from established clubs with 'istree and their equally tiresome supporters, it is difficult to see any meaningful comparisons in how they both operate their football clubs.
Our good fortune to have the owners we do extends well beyond their largesse, I'm glad to say.
Should I take it from this you think Roman's done the wrong thing in sacking RDM now ?
I don't find his approach ill considered at all. It's very simple. He wants to win, and a manager who doesn't deliver gets the arse. Contrary to the prevailing discourse, Chelsea's trophy haul since Roman bought the club is second to none. So sacking managers has done him no harm on the field so far.

TBF, suggesting that stability under Roberto Di Matteo would be a good thing is equally as bonkers.Mrmcfc said:Chelsea in manager sacking shocker.
unbelievable Jeff.
Roman has literally learnt fuck all.
How can he not see that stability is essential for sustainable success. No manager will ever get the chance to create a legacy because he's a fucking lunatic who demands success every single year. If he wasn't so fucking rich he would have been outed by Chelsea fans a while ago imo.

Abramovich is surely the reincarnation of Peter Swales. I mean, have you ever seen them together?
Their problem is not the manager so much as the defence isn't half as effective without Terry. Luiz is a poor defender and Cole seems to have lost some spark.
And they're short of reliable overpower up front. No doubt Benitez will come in and Torres will have the game of his life on Sunday.

Re: sacked
Im not having a go at you personally, but people generally on here (and elsewhere) who quote "facts" without checking them out. A prime example last season was the number of points City were ahead of United before 'blowing' their lead. When one of these so called facts is quoted enough times, it becomes true, even though it isnt.

Grant Sept 07 - May 08
Scolari Jul 08 - Feb 09

Di Matteo should sue Clattenburg.

But they could have won just as many (or more) if they stuck with a manager every now and then.
Something we'll never know I guess.
