Well, like I said. He's lasted longer than any other manager under Roman. His good press outweighs his bad. Jose' turned the core of this Chelsea team into winners, Roman paid £50m for Torres. Getting rid of the most successful manager in Chelsea's history for £20m is a drop in the ocean.
Irony.. Jose' was at Chelsea longer than any other manager under Roman = Long Term. (for Chelsea standards) Bad press?.. you must be joking, the press love him. Plus he made soooo much money for this club in commercial deals. He's a marketing man's wet dream.
No Cunt'ing way. They are average at best. If it wasn't for the best player in the world (at the time), Rijkaard wouldn't have won trophy's at barca. Basten hasn't done enough to even justify a case towards him.
Oh the irony.. On the flip side of that response, maybe you should see the positive side of my comments. This is a discussion forum. Members discuss the club, players etc. You must have mistaken this with the ironic, steal other people's sigs forum.
Torres is too good for our midfield, Although yes Drogba & Malouda are very good friends. It's an explanation I would categorize as a conspiracy theory for now though.
The only comparison I'm making is that mentality of "always next year" or "don't worry, he will score against [insert team]". That is all. I myself have stressed the differences between the two players.
