Confirmed as Chelsea manager on a 3 year deal. Do you reckon he will do well there, considering Abramovich's lack of patience with managers?
he will be gone just in time for us to appoint him when harry leaves...but he will come to us with PL experince
In his first proper full season he won the league, league cup & Europa league without losing a game. Even in Portugal that's pretty spectacular!
If you're good enough, you're old enough But for argument's sake, yes it is a big gamble. A strange decision, but perhaps Roman feels that a change of tac is in order and views the manager's such as Ancellotti/Scolari/Jose didn't get him what he wanted, so why not gamble?
If I was in his shoes, I'd be looking to get rid of Terry or Lampard, just to show that I was in charge and that those that have disrupted the dressing room in the past are no longer untouchable. Risky, but probably worth it.
I suppose he may have the thinking of a clean slate. But any further disruptions get the banhammer unleashed
But these players still have so much to offer, especially Terry who was one of our best players last season. I understand your theory but that can back fire spectacularly, aka 'the wally with a brolly' and beckham for England. A good manager will make the right decisions for the team / club not merely to save face or show who is boss.
A manager can be excellent, but he won't be able to do his job properly if he's being undermined by a senior figure in the dressing room. How many managers have Chelsea lost to player power? Any chance of a job for Avram, by the way?
And this chap is 33, but been studying coaching since he was 17? He probably knows a lot more when it comes to methods/tactics than some player earning his badges once he's hung up his boots.
Because there's oh so much football to talk about at the moment Typical Chav who's team's history began in 2003. Nothing more than Millwall with a lottery win! (no offence to the decent Chelsea poster)
Fifth is mid-table now? Besides, any club that files a complaint about having players tapped up poses a threat to Chelsea, given they're on two strikes after Ashley Cole and Gael Kakuta.
