What do you make of the chaos at Chelsea? A mad manager who doesn't know his best team at war with a snubbed captain who is destabilising the dressing room. How did it get so bad so quickly? Why does Jose implode in his third season?Lucky for us terry only has a year or more in him to areck havoc. You`ve still got levy for another lifetime !!

Don't worry it won't last for long. Mourinhos third season syndrome added with an aging player means we can get rid of both by christmas and bring in a superstar manager!.
In all seriousness there are big problems, mourinhis favourites are being played even though they have become pony or are in super poor form and not required (need the team to graft some fab and ivan in looking at you). Football is a cyclical sport though you cant expect to win every season, not even Fergie managed that!.
Also even though a quarter of the season is gone there is still time to turn things around and catch up. I'm not spoilt enough to think we should be winning year in year out
Mourinho is a manager I have great respect for and while I can't say the same for the chavs (as a club) I'm confident that Jose will find a way to manage Chelsea to some success this season, regardless of the shambolic start to their season, but Mourinho has set himself up here, he enjoys the mind games, making digs regarding rival managers, discussing their failings. When you're as arrogant as Jose, it catches up with you at some point, however much like Fergie, these managers find a way to continue their success.
Mourinho says this period is his worst experience as a manager. He's never known failure like it. Quite honest but then how could he deny it. The trouble for Chelsea is that Mourinho's answer to this will be to go searching for another club.
Has anyone considered that Jose leaving after his second period of failure at Chelsea, may mean Roman will decide to dump Chelsea, be done with football and move on?

How so? Think about why he went back to Mourinho. There arent a lot of good managers out there and does he really want a re-run of the same merry-go-round? I may be off the mark, but I think it's a realistic possibility also.
He won't sell Chelsea. There's so much money in football now that he can turn a profit by finishing top 6 as long as he doesn't spunk too much on transfers. Shouldn't be a problem for Chelsea as they are the champions of FFP. Most successful club in Europe over the past decade despite a zero net spend.
Does he have Chelski for the money? He's spunked close to Greece's national debt. More of a pastime surely? It must be getting boring and the appeal will wane if Chelsea arent competing, and his most successful manager has to leave under embarrassing circumstances for a second time.

A megalomaniac, such as Mad Dog, uses a club like Chelsea to feed his delusion that he is the sole reason why the club is successful.
Such a man can, for a short while, put up with finishing second, provided that the signs are there that success is around the corner. What will be humiliating for Mad Dog is the fact that the club is failing miserably. His paranoia and delusion are so great that he will be unable to associate the failure with any part of himself, so he will blame others. He won't want to blame The Smug One, because he will have learnt that the minute he does that, The Smug One will bolt like a startled rabbit. I presume that Mad Dog has, in the background, been blaming everyone else, though, which, of course, has only hastened the club's demise, as morale has slowly seeped out of every inch of the club. Soon, there will only be The Smug One left to blame, and that is where the end-game will, inevitably, take us.

The Russian gangster is a 'businessman', of sorts! As such, money will off course be his motivating force. Ignoring the financial performance of Chelsea F.C, what must be taken into consideration is the incredible, seemingly inexorable rise of London property prices. This makes the land that Stamford Bridge stands on worth potential billions, depending what he could build on it. If he ever thought he could get residential planning permission for that!!.....
Stamford Bridge is a huge site in London terms. Even if he got residential consent he'd have to find a similarly huge site to accommodate a new stadium which would cost a fortune. He's balls deep into Chelsea so may as well pick up his BT Sport dividend rather than sell the club.
Nah, not him, he'd probably piss off to Milton Keynes. No wait, that one's already been done...
Seriously, he could relocate to another, less expensive part of London. Stamford Bridge is in one of THE most expensive parts of London.
I was in Milton Keynes on Thursday. Plenty of land to build a stadium on there. What a ****ing dump the place is.

Yes, that does appear to still be the case. Abramovich made a proposal to buy back from CPO, but under their rules 75% of shareholders needed to vote in favour. He got only 61.5%. I've no doubt he'll try again, though.
After some of said shareholders mysteriously disappear...
...or are made an offer 'they can't refuse'!
...involving some ricin pellets, the tip of an umbrella, and a blank contract
