warnie_666 1,081 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/foo...icle6367805.ece So, Roman had meetings with Ancelloti and Spaletti. So, Roman lost his love for Chelsea after we missed out on the league and champions league last season. So, Ancelloti suggested Roman to sign Xabi Alonso and Franc Ribery. So, we know what he wants in our team. According to him our midfield lacks quality. Essien, Lampard, Mikel lack quality? I am ok with Ribery but Alonso is something I dont want at the expense of Essien, Mikel or Lampard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Term-X 7,891 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 bullshit and alonso wouldent get on our bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve 10,227 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 It would not suprise me off roman did say this. But Alonso, Please do no even try to bring him to Chelsea if you become our manager he is one player i cannot stand. I also do not think Frank would approve him being in a Chelsea shirt. Frank Ribery on the other hand i think he would be great for our squad but than again how long would it take him to adapt to the premier league.

warnie_666 1,081 Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 Abramovich says "Chelsea don't have a personality. I have the ambition of winning every competition in which my team takes part, a team that at the moment I don't recognise" The repurcerssion of this statement could be the following: 1. Hurt the Players, Fans, and everybody at the club 2. Spur them to show the owner they have what the owner wants. 3 Most importantly, end Ancelloti's move to Chelsea after those revelations. This story has been all over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SystemBlueBob 0 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 It's funny whenever I read articles that state the RA has lost his love....followed by an article a few days later where RA is intent as ever on funding a few big superstars......um....what? He get the love back a few days later? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EskWeston 696 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I don't see where in that article Roman indicates he has lost his love for Chelsea. This article says more about Ancelotti than it does about Roman. Roman interviewed him for the job last year, and didn't offer him the job. I think that says enough. The "identity" comment i can understand because we have over the last few seasons lost our way a little, that is perfectly clear and we need to bring some stability to our club. Like i said, says more about Ancelotti than Roman. Ancelotti does not come across well in these comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not the media making assumptions. He wasnt offered the job because Ancelloti told Roman that Galliani wants him to stay with Milan. The reason we lost our identity is because of Roman. He ousted Mourinho, put in someone like Grant and then bring in Scolari. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is easy to blame Roman for Jose leaving because everyone loved Jose. But Jose himself said that he wish he had left after the second season at Chelsea, for many reasons the relationship wasn't working and we have to move on from that. Most people were happy to see Scolari appointed, i don't think anyone would have guessed he would have failed as much as he did. I am not convinced like the press are that Ancelotti will be our new manager, and i don't think he would be the right appointment. But time will tell. We need to make this appointment correctly so we can go forward as a club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 In all fairness, I don't see a lot of people saying "Bring back Mourinho" - at the minute, it's "Bring back Hiddink." I believe that's the first step in this club putting our relationship with Jose Mourinho in the past. Don't get me wrong, he is a great manager, but this constant comparison between our new managers and him is incredibly boring and repetitive, now. If Ancelotti comes in, then so be it, but we have to give him time to adjust and build his squad; not sack him after a bad run like we did with Scolari.

With Scolari though i think it was clear he had lost the players and the dressing room so the club made a brave descision which looking at it was probably the right one. But the new manager needs to be given the time and the money to build something to take this club forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
