I Think Chelsea Are In Deep Trouble Now

Abramovic has shown himself up for the type of person he really is-a spoilt child who, if he doesn't get what he wants NOW (which is what he has been used to in Russia) then he throws a tantrum and throws everything within reach out of his pram...

...his falling out with, and making life difficult for Mourinho was professional suicide. Mourinho is now £25 Million+ richer and will walk into just about any club job in the World. In the meantime, RA has further alienated the true Chelsea support & seriously pissed off the core Chelsea players-rumours this morning of Lampard, Drogba, Essien, Malouda and Carvalho all looking to leave, as they backed the manager to the hilt and will follow his lead.

To add to all this, rather than getting a world name in to replace Mourinho-a Lippi, Capello etc-RA appoints his mate, whose sole experience is managing in Israeli club football and their national team! A crazy decision IMHO, but, again, typical of Abramovic, he wants yes men, he wants adoration, he wants his friends around him, you have to wonder if he is developing some sort of paranoia, and is drawing his friends around him akin to Nero, the mad Roman Emperor, who surrounded himself with friends and animals as the wolves got closer.

You feel that is happening with Abramovic now and you wonder what will happen to Chelsea as a result?

I don't hate them like a lot of people and welcomed their emergence, so sick and tired, as I was -and am- of the Man Utd domination of football in this country. Under the Tinkerman they were popular and a lot of peoples "second team", now, I do wonder if they will lose a lot of their own supporters, let alone the neutrals?
