Henrique 9,133 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/10159102/chelsea-owner-roman-abramovich-was-obsessed-with-pep-guardiola-says-oliver-kay "If they hadn't ran Jose out of the door the first time, I think they would have won more. I think they've won a lot of trophies despite that strategy, not because of that strategy. "When Chelsea won their first title under Mourinho, when they had the money, Sir Alex Ferguson was absolutely terrified at that point. They knew Chelsea had United on the back-foot. "The only reason Chelsea did not go on and dominate the way United had previously done, was because they kept changing their manager." Let me see, in 10 years Chelsea won 4 Premier Leagues and1 Uefa Champions League, almost the same record achieved by Ferguson's United in the period, no one can deny Chelsea have been one of the most successful teams in Premier League and in Europe in past 10 years, despite the popular belief that changing managers won't let you win big things. But of course someone will just say "they would have won more", and that Chelsea could dominate they way United did before, if Mourinho wasn't sacked, but he failed to mention that United already was a better side the season before Mourinho was sacked, and the season he was sacked, the team already were some points behind United when he left and they were easily the most solid side in the league. Then you just realize the same person who said that nonsense is the one who wrote this: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3436052/Chelsea-Premier-League-s-draw-specialists-look-passive-placid-without-Jose-Mourinho-s-spirit.html I don't how can anyone who watched the first 16 games of this season can say a single bad thing about this teams' spirit, our about the team looking passive and placid.

quickpassnmove 924 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 There's absolutely nothing left to discuss with this club and this season at this point. Better off waiting until August. Clueless shambles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 8 hours ago, Jason said: Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich was 'obsessed' with Pep Guardiola, says Oliver Kay If he's so obsessed with Guardiola, why doesn't he try to appoint a manager similar to him? Simeone, Conte, Allegri, they are all top managers, but not even close to what Pep's playing. For me the closest thing to Guardiola in world football is Rayo's Paco Jemez. And anyone that watches Rayo on a regular basis can confirm that. He's basically Guardiola with no money and utter trash players. Basically Rayo is the poorest club in La Liga with a budget of around 10-12m Euros per year. And this amount includes the transfer budget money, players, staff, medical department, physios' salaries etc. Every summer they sign youngsters on loan, free agents or rejects like Kakuta or Bebe. Even Steaua Bucharest here in Romania has a bigger budget. Still Rayo can cope with La Liga and are 2nd in the possession rankings, after Barcelona. Paco Jemez is obsessed with adventurous football, a high line, intensity, pressing, possession based football. And then there's a lot of other managers that get close to Guardiola, although not in all aspects, such as Sampaoli, Pellegrini, Favre, Pochettino etc. Maybe they are not that obsessed with keeping possession 80% of the time, but they play attractive football with high intensity.

Special Juan 28,143 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Which manager in the world coming to Chelsea wouldn't want John Terry playing for them? You'd even fight tooth and nail to have him here in a none playing capacity never mind just playing. Lets get one thing straight, get JT signed up because we aren't talking a player who's constantly berated by fans or is constantly poor, this guy isn't just a leader but I believe the a massive part of the foundations that hold the structure up correctly. One year Chelsea, one fucking year, get your heads out of your brown bullet holes and deal with this please. As for the new manager, I'm not bothered at this moment in time because I feel the club have lost all foresight completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's gotta be because the club think he would somehow undermine the new manager by being such a huge influence over the dressing room. I think it may be a clue that Simeone indeed won't be our next coach, unfortunately. JT is the kind of warrior and leader that Simeone would probably love to keep around. If Roman wants more attacking, free-flowing football and has already been in contact with the new man maybe they've told him that JT simply doesn't fit their philosophy.

Rekin 835 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Im far from an expert about Italian football, so Ill just relay what I have heard from my friend and my Italian co-worker. Both say that losing Allegri would be devastating to Italian football as he is the sharpest coach they have, only competing with Conte. I asked my co-worker (who is a Juve fan) whether he preferred Conte or Allegri, and he said Allegri without any doubt. Perhaps he would not be such a terrible option?

Henrique 9,133 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 The problem with Allegri and Conte rumors is, in general the press just say something like "Allegri believed to be in Chelsea list", or something that sound pretty fake, like "Allegri signed a 4 years deal to be Chelsea manager from 2016 to 2020". We never saw something like is happening between Mourinho and United at the moment or between Guardiola or City before, when every single journal around were saying Guardiola was very likely to be City's manager next season.

And ' one of the five best coaches in the world , will go away from Juventus , still does not make sense to remain in Italy . " Giovanni Galeone is convinced that at the end of this season Massimiliano Allegri will leave Turin and accept the proposal of the Blues . And if to be convinced is his mentor, perhaps , would agree to believe. PROPOSAL FANTASTIC - The news about the future of coach Juventus has left England , where for several days , the British tabloid talk of an offer of 10 million per season for four years . indispensable offer according Galeone , who in an interview granted to Radio Radio , said: " For me it will go away from Italy, and I see him well in England because the proposed Abramovich is really fantastic . " COACH AT " MAX " - Contacts between Allegri and his great teacher ( so he called himself) have never interrupted . Galleon is a kind of father to the coach , tied to Juve until 2017 : "He's doing very well , indeed authentic miracles , with game idea not his because he asked for two years a playmaker and they only pretended to take it . E ' was just as good at reinventing Dybala player behind the strikers . " Honey words for his favorite pupil . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blues.bridge 343 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 i have some doubts! ok, a coach who knows how building a team strong and also beautiful to see! But also, have a guts t give a chance at youngs and take the right decision, also versus the board! the last, one that does train the team harshly, and maybe a diet and nutrition balanced since in england not always training and nutrition are done well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
