    I've said it before, say what you like about a club like Abramovic's Chelsea, no manager stayed beyond their sell-by date and there's something to be said for that
    That club is an absolute hot mess, and often coaches are hung out to dry as a quick fix without addressing the underlying issues which are either a toxic dressing room or squad issues.

    Then again neither do I want to emulate the United model of keeping managers on long past time (although as Amorim will discover, changing managers there will not help them)

    Getting rid of Arteta needs to be purposeful, as in making sure someone is identified who could do a better job with our team.

    There is equally the issue of whether the club would back this personal financially with the money we need to bring in the attacking players we need

    They are now yes, which is why i emphasised Abramovic's Chelsea, not Boehly's

    You really do need to read properly before you go off on one

    Another case of officialdom determining the outcome because we allowed them to do it. The solution is similar to Trump's recent strategy. Make it too big to rig. Score more goals. Become less conservative and more ambitious. Take the losses that occur and which have been accruing anyway, but also take the extra points that are being chucked away through a lack of intent.

    Erm no, they were just as bad for that sort of thing under Abramovich, if you think the instability at that club has only been a feature the last couple of years, I don’t know what to tell you

    Erm yes, they had a high-spending, hire-and-fire strategy but it was very firmly linked to success, as demonstrated by numerous cup, PL and CL wins

    They were all over the place at times, despite the money they spent…they were never able to gain any kind of consistency. One season they’d finish champions the next mid table. As I say a hot mess

    The only hot mess i can see is in your brain, if you think the positions you take make any sense you're sadly wrong

    Your reply is amusing given you get so worked up when I apparently give you “abuse”.

    No I don’t think Chelsea’s history is that of a good or sustainable way to run a football club, I don’t really get how that’s controversial. I want success of course but I don’t want to get through two or three coaches in a season and never be able to build on success because you might win a big trophy one season and then you’re being beaten at home by QPR the next (and that’s not just even a hypothetical that’s exactly what happened with Chelsea)

    When they won things it wasn’t because they were working to a good model, it’s because they spent fuck loads of money.
