but other than us, what team not listed here has had success? so far, we've been the exception to "stability brings success". You pretty much listed all the successful clubs in recent years. Maybe city too are an exception
Barca don't play with a false 9, the have Messi! he might not stand around like a #9 but he's Messi; No other team can be successful in the long run playing that system.
RDM was never the first choice for the job. Chelsea probably wanted Pep but he needed a break. Pep seems to be rested and ready now so Chelsea just needed an opportunity to sack RDM. Now just hopefully Pep is ready. Even our signings seem made to attract Pep.
Chelsea year after year. Start of pretty good Off the field drama starts/ the epl ball turns yellow Chelsea start dropping points like its in fashion. Start to play much better near the end of the season. This seems to happen every year.
like if Chelsea decide not to buy Falcao due to the Torres episode, and Falcao turns out to be the best thing to happen to the EPL since Roman Abramovich That would mean Torres cost much more than 50mil. But maybe he convinced Mata to join and also made the adjustment to Chelsea easier for Mata. And that is totally worth it.
