So Abracadabra went and did it. After what has proven to be a torturous season so far for Chelsea fans, our man who was supposed to manage an inevitably painful transitory period, has been sacked. It has not come as a surprise, but it does leave the immediate question - WHAT NOW?!
Well, for the meanwhile it seems we have Di Matteo in charge. Don't get me wrong, Chelsea fans will have time for Roberto 'That Goal' Di Matteo, since he has Blue Blood. However, are we really going to do any better under him than under AVB? It's difficult to make that assumption, which makes AVB's sacking all the more questionable. Often when a new manager comes in, it gives a brief boost to the club and translates into one or two good results. If this proves to be the case and we manage to blag our way through tough matches against Birmingham and Napoli then that would be nice. But then what? Can Roberto take us all the way? I hope so... More pertinently, Chelsea FC is again shaken by instability thanks to the meandering and dilatory approach of our lord, Roman Abracadbramovich.
AVB did look out of his depth, and much that he did and said was imprudent in the extreme. But I had hoped that Abra would have learned some patience and allowed his toy to suffer a little in order to come out the other end stronger. Another manager has not been given a chance and now anyone available for the job will think very carefully before putting their neck under the Chelsea guillotine. Yes, the results were dire with AVB, but he's certainly not the only blameworthy figure amongst the shambles on Fulham Road. Many Chelsea players have not performed to their best abilities so far this season - we can all name a handful.
So what now? I do not know. Let's just hope for some cup progress, a top four finish, and that Roberto plays some of those promising youths we've invested so heavily in. It can hardly get any worse can it? Good luck Chelsea fans, because we are going to need it.
