Andre Villas-Boas has parted company with Chelsea today! No surprise given the results but the question is what happened to “The Project”?

Roberto di Matteo in charge until the end of the season but who will take on the project next? Chelsea have now had five managers in five years with AVB supposedly in to build a new squad which it looked like he was doing but at the expense of results.

Lately there appeared to be upset in the camp, maybe around the changes that AVB had in mind. Looks like the AVB way was too much for Chelsea to cope with and the powers that be didn’t have the minerals to stick with it.

The last few weeks have have been crazy with managers getting fired or parting ways when there seemed to be little reason, let’s take Huddersfield who let Lee Clark on the 15th of February 2012 when his team were  firmly in a playoff position and had just beaten rivals Sheffield Wednesday not to mention presiding over league record of 43 games unbeaten run.

Sheffield Wednesday let Gary Megson go when they were in a good playoff spot on the 5th of February 2012 with the best win % since Harry Catterick in 1958.

So we have also seen Wolves oust Mick McCarthy in February 2012 following a big announcement that a successor was to be named. At the time looking at managers available it seemed that the most suited boss is actually Mick McCarthy after there were several managers who turned down the Job. It would be the right thing if the League Managers Association pulled together to find a way to stop the merry go round. As this is written wolves are loosing 4 – 0 to Fulham on 61 mins; they may have been doing better under Mick!
