Vilas Boas

[Castiel]

Tonight after finishing my day job I will play a game of Football Manager 2011 in my modest living room in my modest semi-detached house in North Manchester.

Someone younger than me, (i'm 33), could very well be in charge of Chelsea FC. How fucking weird!

Should have sent your CV in. Roman will give anyone a year! :P

That's one hell of an appointment I'm affraid, top young manager, no doubt will turn Chelski into a better team............
I expect they will be the ones to keep up with...but you never know, new league, different style of football and a impatient pratt for an owner?!

If he's good enough then he's good enough - but Chelsea have consistently gone for experience. Porto won the Champions League under Mourinho, Scolari has won the World Cup and Hiddinck managed for decades. He's a Kid in comparison.

Can't figure out whether Roman is a madman or a genius. On the face of it, his propensity for sacking managers hasn't hindered their collection of trophies since he bought the club. Hasn't stopped them signing some of the top players in the world.

On the subject of Villa Boas, just a personal opinion - but City have missed a trick here. We should've gone after him when it became clear that Mou was not going to happen.

So Mancini still isnt good enough for just? (Genuine question, just interested)

Not so much a case of Mancini not being good enough as Villa Boas being a better long term option. Many reasons for that...

Also, he'll have very little knowledge of the PL and without someone like Wilkins wonder how he'll do.

You do know he was part of Mourinho's back room staff at Chelsea? All of the player briefing documents were prepared by him.

His report on Newcastle during his time in the Prem.

Talk about detail.

Villas Boas will be one of the top three managers in the world very soon. He's like Mourinho except with a more attacking mentality. United, Arsenal, and ourselves should be very scared about a Chelsea-led Villas Boas.

Top top top manager.

Could take chelsea back to the top. He is something else this fella

 

[peoffrey]

How come he manages so young? Did he pick up an injury or was he a shit player?

That's only half of it, each player used to get the same thing on who they were marking aswell, strengths, weaknesses etc.........
