I Fully Support the Timing of Scolari's Midseason Dismissal

There is no better time than now to do the right thing.

Roman could have done this a lot earlier too.

Scolari’s continuance would only have worsened the situation beyond repair. We truly run the risk of not making the champions league next season.

I’m all for stability and continuity, but a wrong manager does not deserve that.

Am I being very harsh on Scolari? No. He has no defence. The results have been poor.

We’re playing horrible football. There are no signs of improvement. The best thing is to sack him and bring about a much needed change.

For all those rival fans, press journalists, and experts expressing their shock and disappointment—please f**k off. This is our club. We’ll do we need to do. We’ll do what’s appropriate for us.
I’m tired of rival fans talking about ‘class’ when we change managers. Most of these guys don’t follow Chelsea as much as we do. As score-checking neutrals, they simply have no understanding of the real situation here.
You stick with managers when they show promise and potential. If you still do it otherwise, it is plain stupidity.
Clubs like Man Utd were lucky to get a top class manager like Fergie. Don’t tell me that he was given time and he took four seasons for his first title.
Football was different back then. The pressure was different. The pressure and investment of modern football is much more demanding now. Trophyless seasons are fine as long as we show some promise.
Under Scolari, we have lost all we’re known for, we’ve got into all the bad habits that we’re never known for. No one fears Chelsea anymore.
Teams love coming to Stamford Bridge. We struggle to beat any team. We surrender to top teams. Players are becoming indifferent.
In my books, these are good enough reasons not to show any patience towards Scolari.  Rival fans are disappointed because Scolari is gone.
They all sensed that under Scolari, Chelsea will hit new depths under Roman. That was not to be.
So they are upset and they are talking about how football has been ruined, how sad the state is, how unfortunate the managers are, how there so little patience and all that. As I said, f**k off.

In this whole sacking episode, the one thing I’m particularly pleased with is the timing.

What Roman did was very smart.

Imagine you bought a share at 10p and the value is going down consistently and now it’s falling every hour and there is no hope of the rate going up.

What you’d do is sell in the first possible opportunity to cut the losses. You just stop the losses.

That’s what he’s done too. He realised that Scolari at Chelsea is sh*t. Then what’s the point to hanging on to him only to realise that we more sh*t than we thought?

By sacking Scolari in February, he can bring in an interim manager who can resurrect this season for Chelsea as much as he can.
