Why?

as much as I think RDM is a great coach , abramovich will get what he wants and thats pep, feel really bad..

Abramovich will never learn, Sheva, AVB, and now Torres lol.... who's next???? lmao

@ yash_blue, article, am touched with your points, RDM doesnt get the credit he deserves, sorry for him, but for we the fans we dont have much say regarding pep's rumours, whatever Roman bring, we will just support it

update..Ashley available for Juventus match

hopefully sturridge starts , hes a true poacher , we need him on the end of the tap ins

And for all we know, this speculation about his future might just be idle pub rumor concocted by the media. All he's failed to do is to win four consecutive matches in the league. In no world, in no club can that threaten the position of anyone. Are our board that stupid that they prefer to look away from the 50m malaise up front and point the finger at RDM? I won't like to think so.

This organization's biggest weakness is its severely dysfunctional managerial style..I still scratch my head on the complete waste of money purchasing some players...

Well as much as I love RDM, He really needs to steer the team back to winning ways or face the wrath of the Roman Emperor. We cant keep a none performoing coach on the sake of sentiments. He won us the champions league yea, But he needs to wake up. He has tried Torres for half a season now and he has proved to be a major failure. Its time to try someone. If you have ever played football at all, You will realise how depressing it is for the entire team to have a none scoring CF. it make the whole team look weak and downcast. Torres is our Major Problem. RDM you fix that or face the axe

@Krested ka-el We are not QPR or reading or any of such small clubs tht the owners can come out publicly and support managers who not doing so well, We are CL defending champs for goodness sake. Roman and CFC fans demand nothing less than top performance from our setup simple. So No Roman is not dumb

If Roman deems the Manager not good enough then that's that, after all were it not for Roman arguably half of VC wouldn't be here discussing Chelsea. It's through Roman that we've won all we've won since he took over and if he feels a coach should be sacked then so be it....*In Roman I trust*

screw Pep...the only environment he knows is Barca...RDM played for CFC...but coached the Dons and won promotion for WBA...Roman does not want Pep...he wants to win...and RDM will win and Pep will go to City/Manure. If we get rid of RDM bring back The Special One.

rdm is better for cfc than guardiola.we know that but unfortunately roman doubts rdm.however roman is the reason cfc enjoys sucess.He also calls himself no1 fan of cfc so hopefully whatever he will do will be good for cfc.

Spot on @Realmike and @mq..i dont get why any1 would want roman to come out and publicly support a manager,portsmouth and westham did it with avram grant and got relegated,blackburn did it with steve kean and equally got relegated,qpr is currently doin it with mark hughes and they might likely get relegated..comon mates trust roman to make the right decisions(he pulls the trigger at the right time),however,i pray rdm gets back to winnin ways,i really love him and want him to be a great manager with us

Chelsea fans are the most spoilt fans in the world. They keep revising the season's target as and when required. Fans who accepted that this year will be a transition period, want top 4 finish, QF in CL now demand win PL, retain CL...

Is Buck or Ron gourlay the owners of our club now???

@mq..was only returning the favor punk.

If Roman sacked RDM and hired Pep would you all unequivocally back him??

Why the Roman Emperor can't leave Pep Guardiola alone. #CFC #FCB #MCFC #MUFC In a newly published biography of Pep Guardiola, the Spanish football journalist Guillem Balague spends a surprising amount of time writing about Roman Abramovich. The Russian billionaire's obsession with all things Barcelona is no secret; the details of his attempts to install the Catalan club's most successful coach at Stamford Bridge are worth acquiring the book for. Balague describes salary proposals "growing with each attempt: €10 million (Dh46.9m) a year, €13m, even €15m according to certain sources" littering Guardiola's last three seasons at Camp Nou. He tells of an invite after the 2011 sacking of Carlo Ancelotti to be picked up by private helicopter and holiday on one of Abramovich's fleet of yachts. ("Stop telling me these things. I don't want to meet Roman or I might have my head turned by him," is Guardiola's response.) And he catalogues Abramovich's two attempts to land Guardiola earlier this year. The first involved Rafa Benitez taking on a three-month contract as the replacement for Andre Villas-Boas before handing over to Guardiola. The second, "proposed the appointment of an interim manager for one season to leave the Stamford Bridge door open for Pep a year later, wanting him to design the squad for the 2013/14 season as soon as he was ready". http://sulia.com/channel/uefa-champions-league-2012/f/144a9438-66e2-4430-a8ee-92202b3771b0/?source=twitter. RDM might just as well pack his bags. Pretty clear he is warming the seats for Pep.

Pep made Barca great and won the CL twice in the process.

Whe you are given a job, do not let the owner to follow you up and down to make sure that you do your job. Give him time not to worry by perfecting whatever he is looking for in you since he hired you to do the job for him coz he knew he is not in a position to do that job himself
