Well, all the Stamford Bridge faithful that was booing and clamoring for immediate change have gotten that which they arksked for......AVB was brought in here for a much-needed purpose: to change Chelsea's "brand" to a more fluent and "artistic" style while phasing out out the old and bringing in the new players needed to accomplish that task. It was never going to happen overnight, nor was it going to happen with the same on-field successes or the smoothness of a well-oiled machine. I didn't like the way Alex was treated, nor do I like the way that Anelka was treated at the Christmas Dinner......but every coach is going to have issues with SOMEBODY. Y'all forget that Jose had issues with players too or what? AND was castigating men in the media with it. It may very well be that some of the BS was even mandated at levels above AVBhead, who knows? Noticeably, though, the players that he seemed to be calling out or having ay kinds of issues with, were the same senior ones that people are generally saying should be the ones getting phased out of this team and are no longer producing at the levels necessary to maintain this team's expected level of success.
At the end of the day, if I as a professional athlete goin' home every week (net) with upwards of ah hundred thousand pounds and I still need to get my ego stroked on TOP of my diminishing skills and value, then is strokes with a birch I need, not a stroking of my ego. Wasn't it rumoured that Jose also left under some player-undermine shit, too? If that truly was the case, then what coach on this planet is going to please this group of niggas AND Abramovic at the same time......not to mention the boo-birds that attend all the games at Stamford Bridge? "things can only get better".......we go see and fuh how how long, if at all. Let we fuhget West Brom this weekend, is Birmingham we playin' tonight. We should be runnin' over this side like a styrofoam cup in de road.
