The main Chelsea problem this season is Todd, the new Chelsea owner,over the course of Roman abramovich reign, Chelsea have based their principle on result at all cost, and that is achieved by hiring the best brain to manage the team, trusted hands whom have archived something, first you talk about Jose mourinho who was the first manager Abramovich brought, he just won the treble in Portugal with Porto,wich include the champions league eliminating Manchester United in the build up to that final.
And that partnership with mourinho is the foundation of all Chelsea success in this Premier league era, and the reason why Chelsea have a global fan base as it is now. Abramovich was ruthless, you don't perform he fires ,have bad run of result he visit the training ground him self..fast forward till now,there is a change in ownership, and the new owner in an attempt to build the team in his image sacks every management who is involved in the previous ownership,meanwhile these are the people who would have showed him how things should be done,leave football managementfor those whom is their duty to, Bought players he alone scouted for,first you can't have over 30 players and expect to keep them all happy. Not satisfied he went and hire someone without a pedigree,no trophy other than bringing a team up from relegation. Seeing the gambling did not pay off,went for lampard who have just being sacked recently for underperforming at lower club like Everton.. for as long as Todd keeps this his mentality we all Chelsea fans should be guaranteed that we will continue to be a mid table team,an elite team need an elite coach.
Right now there is no hope for chelsea in next season's Europa competitions. I have heard someone say that things could turn in favor of the club in the Champions League. But I still don't know how this will happen when the club itself doesn't show confidence in its performance even on the pitch. For a very long time, I haven't seen chelsea lose control of possession in the first half with an average club. Lampard in his first match was far below expectations and this should serve as a reference for the upcoming champion league clash. I see nothing good in Lampard's sudden contract. Bruno Saltor would have been better but Boellhy lacks the insight to see.
