I see that England has more and more foreign players. And more and more foreign coaches. And more and more foreign fans.

So some attitudes will be more foreign, like those early sackings.

About multi sackings in Spain we know a lot. Chelsea deemed necessary to offload Mou because they probably thought he brought the club as far as possible.

Now, they haven't given time to the next project. And they'll appoint another one.


This have very negative consequences, because in the eyes of the player, the boss is the boss, but he's not that boss if they know that in 4 bad games he can be sacked. So all they have to do when they're not happy with a manager is to make him the bed, as we say here.

That's what happened with Ramos, a good manager that was expelled from the club because Woodgate (who knows all the sacking tactics after being in Madrid) and King wanted so. Now Ramos has made Madrid more consistent.

No wonder the journos of London ask "Is Benitez next". They know that those changes only favour their favourite club, with their local old cúnt. So the best thing it can happen is to sack Benitez, they'll sell more papers, they'll unsettle their rivals, Manchester will be solid, and everything will be perfect.

It's a pity English football is making more Continental, and not the other way around. :(

"Is Benitez next?"

Daft question really. Considering Rafa and the board are negotiating a new contract, kind of makes the journalists look like fools really doesnt it?

As for Scholari, just shows what a joke chelsea are. Hasnt had the best season but they really are trying to build Rome in a day. Man City will be next, going through managers like a sharp knife through butter.

Looks like he is going to do okay out of it.....



Luiz Felipe Scolari may pocket up to £15m in compensation after being sacked by Chelsea football club.

He was dismissed just seven months into a three-year contract thought to be worth £6.25m a year.

The Brazilian was dismissed with immediate effect, and Chelsea are now seeking their fourth manager in less than 17 months.

With Scolari following Avram Grant and Jose Mourinho out of the club, it could reportedly take the total paid to sacked coaches during that time to £40m.

Scolari is the eighth Premier League manager to leave this season after Tony Adams was fired by Portsmouth.

The Brazilian has told of his regrets after being sacked, saying: "It was a very valuable experience. I am sorry that my time with everyone could not last longer.

"I wish Chelsea luck in the three competitions it is participating in. I want to take the opportunity to inform that I will keep living in London."

Chelsea is gonna fade into nothing after a while with Abramovich as an owner, the guy is an idiot seriously.  Thinks everything is going to be handed to him or something.

Ridiculous sacking by Chelsea after only seven months, and it just goes to show what kind of a club they have become :no
