Big Phil interview

[Milan 17,887]

How funny that would be if he came out with a statement similar to the Jose's one - One day I will be back

Inspiring?

JT, Ballack & Didier were the chelsea managers when Mourinho was sacked, Grant merely put the cones out and used Jose's tactics.

Really? Why didn't JT,Drogba et al inspire the team to UCL final under mourinho and Ancelotti?

Why were these players more motivated under Avram Grant? I'm patiently waiting for answers on a postcard

Grant winged the whole fucking shaboodle. Even the Tel Aviv players alluded to the fact that Grant's a talentless fuckwit, whos saving grace is an ability to ingratiate himself with the rich and powerful, which in this country happen to be fellow jewish football club owners. Fact.

I'm going to have to disagree, some of the players were clearly unhappy with Scolari for whatever reason but this was not the case for Carlo. Maybe statistically you are correct, but I must say it was extremely tough to watch us play with no team spirit. It was not till Hiddink's arrival that seemed to revive everyone's confidence and mentality.

Yet we still had the best away record in the league under Scolari. I reckon that counts for something.

Because Mourinho is a football manager, same goes for Carlo.

Chelsea were one of europes elite, and with Mourinho's words still ringing in the players ears, Didier, Lamps, Ballack & JT (who will all eventually be managers in the future) lead the team to a CL final. JT even publicly gave the team talk on the pitch that night, whilst avram grant was pondering around thinking 'what would Jose do'.
