Having just been appointed in the summer to replace Avram Grant, who had himself only been in the job a few months before, Scolari has been sacked by Chelsea. Ray Wilkins is set to take over for the time being until a replacement is found.
Earlier today, Chelsea captain John Terry was critical of their performances, saying sorry to the fans who fork out up to £64 a ticket. “I apologise to the fans because our performances at home and away have not been good enough and we have not been putting on the performances which give their ticket value for money,” he said. Considering Chelsea have won just 6 of their 13 home games this season, with sides like City and Fulham enjoying a better time at home than Scolari’s men, that apology from Terry couldn’t come soon enough!
Chelsea have now gone through three managers in sixteen months and are currently occupying the last Champions League spot, with Villa, Liverpool and us all ahead of them. Having played a game less than the blues, we are still seven points clear of them, which could disastrously become a ten point gap if we are to win our game in hand.
Former Barcelona boss, Frank Rijkaard, is still out of work, so might be a contender. Avram Grant has hilariously been linked with a return, whilst Zola just this week announced he would not leave West Ham for Chelsea. But then what about Tony Adams, I hear he’s looking for a job!
I guess it’s just between us and Liverpool now…

Well knock me down with a feather!!!
Any chance Rafa is next to go???
i don’t believe this… fucking rent boys have lost it completely!
Give the Chelsea job to Boy George. He knows how to whip Rent Boys into shape.
villa to finish 3rd is worth a punt!
Knew it was goin to happen but thought he would have got at least till the end of the season. I wonder whose decision it was to sack him, roman? Kenyon?
IM A BLUE AND RIGHT NOW IM HANGING MY HEAD IN SHAME. AS I HOPE ALL INVOLVED WITH CHELSEA ARE DOIN. KENYON PLS FUCK OFF BACK WHERE YOU CAME FROM
easy come. easy go. that’s what you get when you have more money than sense. and once the moscow politicians and mafia boys find a better front than roman, chelsea will be the new leeds united.
Another one bites dust in front of Sir Alex..
Actually this is mental, the squad is deteriorating, there in no fire in the squad and poor manager gets sacked..
Actually the players don’t play well, if anyone to be sacked , it must be peter “busted” kenyon, for his blunder in Robhino transfer and his sigining of the season “Deco”..
Good news for us though…and for scolari too nice pay off and retirement home at tropical Brazil..
Or Ray Wilkins do an Avram Grant and continue till the end of the season, win nothing and then get sacked?
That was a big shock. Looks like they are out of the running now. I’ve said for ages they should not have got rid of Grant. Hope he rejects them and shows some dignity.
And Hiddink? If he has any sense, he’ll know from Scolari’s experience that even if you are a good International manager, it is a lot more difficult at club level, and he should finish his job at Russia or wherever he is.
Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
We want Rafa to stay, the bloke is useless and Liverpool will never win the league with him in charge so we’re fiiiiiine, keep him on. In Rafa WE trust!
I hope the same happens at Anfield (If the bloody portsmouth would have been able to hang on their lead it would have happened already)…
Its times like this that make me a very happy Manchester United supporter, not because of the turmoil Chelsea find themselves in, but because it highlights the stability of Manchester United through Sir Alex’s loyalty and dedication to our club.
I do not wish Manchester United to end up as a club ruthlessly sacking managers midway through seasons due to a run or poor results. Though once Fergie retires, I think we’ll be in for a bumpy few years re: managers.
After seeing Mic’s comment i have change of heart.. “in Rafa we trust”
Whoaaaaaaaa!!
I was not expecting that.
Lots of hammers fans are worried now
Pretty embarrassing stuff from us again. Not necessarily this decision, because with us sliding down the table and Scolari doing very little to address it, and the risk of us failing to qualify for Europe in any competition this season I honestly don’t think the club were left with a choice. The embarrassment is more about appointing a manager who clearly wasn’t interested to start with.
LOLOLOLOLOLLOLOLOLOLOLLOLOLOLOLOLLOLOLOLOLOLLOLOLOLOLOLLOLOLOLOLOLLOLOLOLOLOLLOLOLOLOLOLLOLOLOLOLOL
The question isn’t who will be appointed — the question is who will want the job now. With there being little money to spend and an aging squad in need of major overhaul, who will want this job?
Surely Rijkaard and Zola know better?
Been saying for some time now that “big things” are gonna happen down in West London and here you are. Not really a surprise but thought he would have had at least till after champions league games. The media and pundits must feel fuckin silly now after saying that “Big Phi,l will bring his brazillian style of football to Chelsea” etc. A fuckin clown. Can’t wait to see which joker the Rent boys bring in now.
Rafa HAS to stay as I just love to see what ridicoulous decision he will make next, like playing three centre backs and resting your best players. The bloke is pure comedy entertainment!
pity for you ChelseaD..
but i dont think Scolari wasn’t interested to start with. I think the problem is, Mourinho’s legacy too strong.. well, TNSSO was the only one who can cope with SAF. The team was Mourinho’s too. Everything has Mourinho’s name on it. Even Terry.
what ever it is, IT IS NOT OUR PROB! hahahahhaha.
/ps. not a comment from Terry on his rent boy pic? haha
Not at all suprised myself just wish I’d of backed it in the bookies, Zola is 9 to 1 on bet fair to take over. Anybody think he’s in with a shout? Surely they’ll go for someone with experience even though the fans want him by all accounts. Chelsea are fast turning into a shambles!
aaaaaaaaaahahahahahaha
I just hope they stay away from Martin O’Neill…
This is a mistake on chel$ki’s part. The modern English game has changed through out the years, and there has only been one man who has stayed in the game long enough to adapt to the changes-Sir Alex Ferguson. Given time Scolari would have been more successful. Having said that-you must love those foolish rent boys. Looks like Mourinho is coming back, if he doesn’t get ready for a massive exodus.
i think the problem chelsea has is that they have been made to beleive they are actually bigger than what they are. mourinho has made them beleive they are a great team and they are not and i repeat, they are not. they will return to where they are and then the whole world will know that manchester united is truly the best. please leave rafa. in rafa we trust that the league will always be ours. another one of ‘em bites they dust.
i feel for scolari…with the overrated squad that he had, no one really expected chelsea to win the league this year did they? Maybe if roman coughed up a few more million to get robinho they would be higher in the table.. seeing as he paid £60m odd for a pair of paintings i think a few million wouldnt have hurt!
mancine and rijkaard seem the obvious replacements.. zola would be silly to leave a club on the up for a club on the decline..btw he is doing a great job there (with steve clarke)
Aye — this “instant success” business takes ages doesn’t it. Mind you, I hear Shteve van Claren is doing wonderful things with FC Twente. …”Mmmm, manager with European experience needed.”
Now all we need is for Rio to crock the Ladyboy on Wednesday night and job done.
You’d have to have a heart of stone not to piss yourself laughing.
Scott– any desire to pat yourself on the back by posting your article from August where you questioned all the retarded pundits who picked Chelski to walk the league? Or would that just be running up the score on all the other brit blogs looking up to you?
I heard from a secret source,that the mighty Steve Mclaren is going to be in charge at Chelsea.
The rent boys are going DOWN………
I really don’t know what to think. I am, however, hoping that they don’t appoint Huddink. He represents one manager who I think can really turn a team around. Couple that with the fact that as I remember it he gets along with Roman and you might have a recipe for success: world class manager & time to build. Since Mourinho left Chelsea haven’t had those two components together. With Avram they had neither a world class manager or time to build and with Big Phil they only had a world class manager (even that is disputed to some).
Long may the Chelsea demise continue.
North Stand – ” just hope they stay away from Martin O’Neill…” I am sure Martin O’Neill has more sense than to even entertain this mob. As someone rightly put, the Rentboys are becoming a shambles, a fuckin laughin stock. I love it!

i have to disagree withe you.I believe that Mr Scolari is an average manager who’s only achievment , was the world cup success with Brazil in 2002(an average team back then as well according to a lot of Brazilians).. with Portugal he did nothing.
On the other hand when it comes to clubs,which is what does matter,He had no experience in Europe ,nor had he what it takes to make it at highest level.
I’m really pleased…the Premiership was suffering for having this blase idiot in charge of one of the top clubs…the reason our league is so strong and so many good players want to play in it is that we have 4/5 quality teams, not 2 or 3 like other top leagues..It was a detriment to everyone having this muppet in charge coming out after every game and saying he doesn’t care…I honestly hope Chelsea come good and give us all a bit of a title race next year because I’d given up on Premiership excitement for the foreseeable future with just the dippers behind…it’s like being chased by a man with a problem that you know means one of his legs is definitely about to drop off…
Mr Kenyon…Your work is beyond belief….Thank you, thank you, thank you…….you tosser =)
Damn I almost (just almost) felt sorry for the rent boys then…..Wait…..don’t worry its gone now lol
N0bs
The writing was on the wall when the RentBoyz were shellacked at OldTrafford and the “senior players” didn’t try to hold up their heads and keep their dignity. It’s what happens when the inmates run the asylum. Same deal at Real Madrid.
i heard it was roman that was the one who decided to sack him
To all those wishing the same had happened at Anfield, 3 words:
Rafa Must Stay.
The latest conspiracy theory is: did UTD want Kenyon to go to Chelsea because they knew he’d fukc it up?
Kenyon to Chelsea, best thing to have happened
Rafa stay at Liverpool, best thing to come
BrisbaneRed yeah now i get it. It was a long-term plan after all we let Kenyon go there to demolish Chelsea from inside haha brilliant theory
And just look at their so-called “senior players”, and ours – Scholes, Giggs and Neville. What a gap there. Their seniors are juniors to ours. haha. We ooze class everywhere, they lack class everywhere. From their manager to their subs all darn good pretenders.
Anybody else feeling it’s getting boring here? Hell no, Rafa keeps on cracking jokes!
Tell all the Scousers you know – it’s gonna be three in a row!
Can sum1 pls tell me why one of the most successful coaches in world foot ever considered taking the job? Ok so the salary was good but that’s it. He had to work with a load of shit that TNSSO coughed up with Roman’s money and to create brazilian style football he actually needed some fucking brazilians. Not a ageing german, a washed up portuguese or a fucked up ivorian but a fuckin brazilian. I am a die-hard united fan but I honestly feel sorry for the poor guy. Ps. I heard that barça is going to make a bid for torres in the summer.
“Ps. I heard that barça is going to make a bid for torres in the summer.”
I think that there will be a line-up for his services when the credit crunch hits HIcks/GIllette; but since Torres is an AthleticoMadrilena there’s one club he won’t sign for.
lol, a change of manager aint gonna do shit for those old rentboy cunts, what, change formation and put drogba in goal(hes used to being on his arse), terry up front, mikel on the wing(with his blistering pace!!!)…they are fucked, they will be uefa cup next season, good fucking job!!!!
You mean and then there were 943…yep according to Daily Mail, Scolari is the 943th boss sacked in England under Fergie’s reign.
