Your fans aren't helping matters, constantly slating a manager who is trying to turn your fortunes around. Whether he's the amazing manager that some Liverpool fans seem to think is purely a matter of opinion, I think he's okay, not great but not terrible.
It's all completely illogical, he needs to be supported, he's there, even Abramovich won't sack him in under a month, so give him a chance. Chelsea's fans are only hurting their club at the moment, there's more to football than merely the manager. Frankly it makes them all look rather pathetic.
Why exactly do they hate him? Because he gave Chelsea a bit of stick when he was the Liverpool manager? Boo hoo. Not the end of the world is it. Let it go.
I don't think he'd be welcomed, but I'd expect the more intelligent fans to at least get behind him somewhat. Turn on him if and when he does horribly.
No need to be offended, I wasn't aiming my comments at you, more the general vibe from your fans.
You don't have to like him, but given the current circumstances he has to be given a chance. The severe negativity around your club at the moment could do a lot of fairly long term damage.
Let's say you lose your next game 5-0 and then he gets sacked, who do you think will jump in and take his place? Pep? I doubt it.
What, that plastic flags are stupid and don't help anything? Hardly massively offensive is it.
Calling him 'interim' was stupid also, that doesn't help matters.
He isn't being given a chance, seemingly a lot of fans wanted him out before he even said/did anything - that's not being given a chance.
I don't think either of them is a realistic goal, so who would you like, out of interest, any ideas?
