A season with Chelsea and Abramovich (3 Viewers)

[Freddy]

I would say they had a good season...ending the season in the second place is a good accomplishment for Chelsea and for Ranieri

So what's the deal with next year's coach? Is Mourinho moving to London or what?

Depends if Porto wins the CL

Chelsea are well out of order to get rid of ranieri. For this teams first season they have achieved better than ever and thats with an unsettleted side. Where is the loyalty in the game

 

[Layce Erayce]

Gogeta, your right. But I dont think the issue is loyalty. A club's owner doesnt have to be loyal to anyone. He just does what he thinks will help the club.

Unfortunately I think the blame should be put on pressure. You cant expect a coach to win trophies in one season. Too much too fast.

But does he really think it'll help the club? He probably does, because he doesn't know shit about football, but honestly, if Roman expects Chelsea to improve, it would mean winning the Premiership and the CL, which I don't think is gonna happen. Finishing in the best position in the Premier League in the club's history and making the semis of the Champions League is no mean feat, especially when you're playing with a squad that was largely assembled in a matter of weeks.

I think Abramovich just wants to change everything to show everyone how much money he's got. Ranieri isn't a 'big-name' manager, so RA probably thinks "Hey, if I pay Deschamps 3.2m per year, it probably means he'll make the team better!"

graham i dont think someone with that much money could be that stupid, but lets see...

Just because he makes a lot of money and is an extraordinary businessman, doesn't mean he knows anything about football. I mean the fact that he bought a Premiership club to try and buy trophies in the first place has gotta tell you something

 

[Layce Erayce]

graham. if a buffon like me knows that you need time for a team to win trophies you think an extraordinary businessman wouldnt know that?

 

[gray]

First of all, don't compare yourself with Buffon

Second of all, learn to construct real sentences

Seriously though, firing Ranieri is a terrible footballing decision IMO

there was a tribute to ranieri on tv yesterday (and there's non for lippi, fokers!) i like ranieri and it's probably a bad decision but I understand why abramovich perhaps wants him out, he probably couldn't stand the same coach for long
