Who's next for Chelsea?

[Mack]

Benitez will get this until the summer I reckon.

[Dan]

Despicable club. I really couldn't care less if they were English, them winning the CL was an absolutely painful thing to watch.

[Captain...]

Proving once again they have absolutely no class what so ever.

Abrahmovich is probably one of the worst things to happen to football, petulant, sulky, rich cvnt can someone send him some NFL dvds and get him to fvck off over there.

[kingfox]

Very surprising, but pretty understandable we know what they are like.

Champions League winners, now qualification from the group hangs in the balance and they were flying in the league, now they have dropped down to third.

Fat Rafa is the favourite, would have Di Matteo over him anyday if I was a Chelsea fan, Rafa had some success but his tactics and style of football is awful.

[Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo]

I'd feel sorry for Di Matteo cause he's a really nice hard-working chap, but I don't because he'll get snapped up by another club. Wouldn't surprise me if QPR binned off Hughes before Saturday and offered Di Matteo a handsome sum

Hopefully Chelsea will keep dropping points for a bit, I 'ate 'em, I hate their fans, I hate RA.

[Leicesterpool]

Quite a surprise to be honest Chelsea lost yes but there still in champions league and still got a finger in the title race. Bentiez i think for the job! blimey won the champions league for them and gets sacked!

[AyewJoking]

John Terry and Frank Lampard co managing the team for the rest of the season/January?

I imagine those two are highly respected by the players and obviously worshipped by the fans.

[Fox92]

Don't like them at all, and this sacking is just another example of why I don't like them. Don't really care who's next for them, I just hope one day all this backfires on Roman.

[AKCJ]

They're not totally out yet.

Shaktar can beat Juve at home and if Chelsea don't win at home against Nordsjaelland then they just don't deserve to stay in the competition.

[Dan]

Chelsea will get through. They're the planets jammiest club.

[whoareyaaa]

Murhinho

[Corky]

Has to be JT.

Leader, Legend, Manager.

[BoneDog]

Outrageous news!

Only found out this morning and couldnae believe it.

[AKCJ]

Pep Guardiola has been sacked after failing to win a trophy since being linked with the job this morning.

There are some quality gags doing the rounds on Twitter

[ozleicester]

Thank Geebus for Chelsea.... they make us look good

[Danny the Fox 95]

Hoping Iain Dowie gets it

[Jon the Hat]

Rafa is a better manager than DiMatteo. Will do a good job until Pep takes over in the summer.

[foxfanazer]

Really poor from Chelsea, can't see it being anyone other than Guardiola

[jonthefox]

Benitez next for the axe then.

[Matt]

Rafa Fucking Benitez.

Think if I was a Chelsea fan i'd rather have stuck with Di Matteo.

I'm not sure if it has been mentioned in this thread, or even whether it is true or not but apparently when Guardiola left Barca there was a clause not allowing him to manage another club for a year (Of which 6 months is left to run), if that was true I'd have either stuck with Di Matteo for 6 months and then got Guardiola in or got on the phone to Barca offering money to drop the clause and get Guardiola in now, I certainly would have steered well clear of Rafa Benitez.

[marko]

I wonder if Chelsea fans' still think this highly of him.

[Jimothy]

From twitter

Danny Baker â€@prodnose

So. £69m spent on managers. £50m Torres. God knows how much else. Why didn't Abramovich just ****ing buy Man Utd and have done with it?

[I am Rod Hull]

Watch Rafa win the Champions league, Premier league and F.A. cup

[ScouseFox]

[marko]

Brilliant.

A match made in heaven.
