The 1st Thread/The S-Thread For 11/21/12: Roman Numericals of Nuttiness

Despite winning the club its first Champions League and European title, despite winning the FA Cup last May, and despite being a title positioned 3rd place in the Premier League, Roman Abramovich thought Robert Di Matteo was less worthy to keep his job than Andre Villas Boas last year.

Even with their current rough patch going on with Abramovich's desire to never be truly patient when his club faces adversity after Juventus 2nd half clear home win yesterday, this still was an unexpected shock and totally beyond ridiculous.

Is the main reason for the latest stupid Roman Rage move was the fact that Di Matteo did not start Fernando Torres last night and played a counterattacking style vs Juventus instead of being like Barcelona, playing the same offensive possession style every game regardless of the situation.

It really is quite nauseating to see this happen in pure irrationality and knee jerk anger once again from this childish owner.

Rafael Bentiez, to his desperate display, has shown interest in a club that he has to know won't be his if results continue to go sour.

With Pep Guardiola, whether with him currently being in Manhattan or his core principles as a philosophical person and manager, would never take the job at Chelsea while Abramovich owns the club. He would not subject himself to a petulant nut like Abramovich.

But this is all about the owner's lack of fidelity himself, and how in the world would anybody, Guardiola, Benitez, anybody, want to work for him when he will irrationally get rid of you the moment adversity hits? Hell, which player would want to play under an owner like that?

He unnecessarily brought Shevcenko on Jose Mourinho and Torres on Carlo Ancelotti for overvalued prices while they were either in their decline (Shevcenko) or purchased for way too much (Torres), and still has yet to master an appropriate poker face when he sulks in public about how his team is not winning and playing attractive football to his holy Roman desires.

Journalists should not be afraid to slam Abramovich for this. Because people at the very top can make stupid decisions as well, especially when they refuse to learn from their foibles.

Abramovich certainly isn't one to learn from his past mistakes, at least as an owner of a big football club. Maybe that will inspire him to hire Mike Brown as the new manager.

Unless Roman Abramovich wants to manage his own club and become the first owner ever to fire himself.
