My outlook on this is obviously biased, but I don't see where Ambramovich is killing the club.
Now, he obviously sits at the head of the table and will be opinionated when it comes to certain players/ coaches/ managers/ administrators at the club.
However, he has always put his money where his mouth is. He has spent liberally when it comes to making sure that Chelsea has the best of the best and are equipped with all the resources they need at their luxury.
So somewhere or the other, it is not Roman's money that is failing, but the way how the coaches and players perform. Can you ever possibly blame Roman for JTs penalty miss in the CL Final? How about Saturday's draw at Hull? Even the loss to Liverpool?
The players need to go out and perform, and the coaches need to put the players in the position to do so. JT came out and apologised for the team's form - and many players have been lamenting the lean period the squad has been going through - but it is time for the players and the coaches to step up.
You continue to stick your head in the sand.
Firstly Abramovich has not been putting his money where his mouth is. Just look at the January window. The only decent left-back cover sold, back-up keeper let go, the only player brought in is on loan when it is clear that both Malouda and Kalou not up to it. Chelsea was doing well when Abramovich was spending over the top money too assemble a big squad of good players. Once they start letting go Robben, Duff and SWP and replacing them with the wrong players, players they didn't need, like Deco, Sheva and Ballack they were in trouble.
Abramovich has to take credit or blame or that. And if it have to fix he have to spend more money to fix it but he is not. SOmething has to wrong with the executive management if the club has 4 managers in the space of 18 months. Clearly they don't have a clue when hiring managers.
I agree that you can't complain about him though. The man spend his money and he have a right to do with the club as he pleases. Fans can't really complain because they get two season s of success that they would never have had without him.
Scolari has a squad that is not balanced there is very little he could do about that in 9 months. The only real knock I would give him is his stubborn reluctance to pair two strikers together and at least try to make it work. But the people on top Chelsea are clueless. How you go fire a manager who 4th in the league and still in 2 cups?
Them men feel they playing Championship Manager where yuh does win everything everything.
