Quote JWP="JWP"It's not unfair, he's woefully inept. Chelsea players have been moaning for months now about his antiquated training methods. These were probably fine in International Footall, you only met up with the bloke once every two months. Every day, the same drills, they've been bored less. Also, they say you spend very little time in training doing ballwork, I think for some of the longer serving players, your JT's, Carvalho, Essien, Lampard et al, they'll obviously compare it to Mourinho and his regime and they've felt it was light years behind. I think because Big Phil was a nice guy, it is a shame, but it's not a nice guy competition is it, it's The Premiership.
They eeked through an easy CL group, were knocked out of the Carling Cup by Burnley. Struggled past Southend in the FA cup, have a replay at Ipswich to come. Failed to beat Hull at home, were mighty lucky against Stoke. Haven't beaten any of the Big Four (well Villa, if we aren't including Arsenal). He had to go, it's not good enough. The next appointment will tell all about Chelsea, I think it's a club really on the way down, I think any manager taking the job will want to know the plans on investment and such, and who is appointed will be an indication of this. I think Chelsea fans should prepare to be underwhelmed.'"
It's unfair that he is a proven world-class manager and yet he hasn't been given a season to win them a major trophy.
