Haha would be too funny if JT and Lamps got the gig as joint managers!

Those senior players should be ashamed of themselves. No football club can have players dictating what happens.
The new manager will need to get rid and assert his authority.

You mean like AVB tried to do without the public backing of owner, other players or the fans. |

Mourhino has apparently been spotted house hunting in London in last two weeks which either means he is in for the Chelsea job, spurs job or england job. Either way i think we will be seeing a lot more of the special one next season..
Which can only be a good thing

AVB was doomed to failure from the start and was probably not the correct appointment in the first place. The Chelsea squad is in need of a major overhaul, the spine of the time has all got old at the one time and there are a large number of other players who just aren't good enough. You could get away with having the Malouda's, Kalou's, Mikel's in the squad when you had world class players along side them. Now they no longer have that they are being shown up for what they are. Distinctly average.
The biggest problem Chelsea have is the power Lampard,Terry and Drogba hold. Again this was fine when they were world class operators but they are nowhere near that level yet still hold massive influence. Perhaps a more experienced manager would have dealt with this situation better although there would still likely have been major resistance. The new man needs to undertake a complete rebuilding job. Personally I think Abramovich should have given AVB the time to build his own squad and backed him to the hilt with funds and supported his decisions but it was never going to happen. The new man will have a very tough task on his hands and I predict the next 2 or 3 years at least will be tough for Chelsea unless they spend big and wisely.

Rafa Benetiz makes sense if Abramovich is determined that Torres is going to be given every possible chance to succeed at Chelsea.

Saves me a job, all true IMO. If Abramovich and Chelsea fans can't see what he was trying to do or wait a couple of seasons for the fruits, then they deserve what they have coming to them...as undoubtedly they'll go further down before they go back up. The senior players come across as extremely selfish. They should realise that they HAD to be slowly faded out. Perhaps the only way he could have achieved it was by getting their inputs on their replacements (and having them mentor them)  I doubt plain transfer listing the mutinous lot would have gone down well with Roman! |

The problem at Chelsea is you need a manager with a strong personality to get the respect of senior players but a manager with a strong personality won't tolerate Abramovich calling the shots. Abramovich wants a yes man when a yes man wont work.

I think Leeds were a little better then the current Chelsea team, having just won the league and to be fair clough spent the previous 3 years saying how he hated Leeds and the players at Leeds were cheats and cons. Not a great comprison tbh. |
