good bit on this in todays telegraph section and it raises a good point. the manager at chelsea will always come second to the players and AVB's form was the worst from a chelsea manager in a long time but they still don't look at the problems elsewhere:
technical manager/director (whose name escapes me) is just as much to blame
mata was an AVB signing, their only decent one
the players are just as much to blame
ancelotti wins the pl and the fa cup and is sacked a few months later? bonkers
the above is all summed up by some of the antics over the past few years at the club, a smoke flair was let off by a player/staff member at friday's training session, ashley cole not only brought an air rifle into training, he also shot an academy player with it, then there's the racism thing still hanging over terry. i'm sorry but that is ridiculous, school boy stuff.
too many ego's, too little time for managers, too much cash.
they summed up a chelsea manager by essentially saying take the job and then wait for the pay off.
