This is the most balanced and intelligent analysis of Chelsea’s management crisis I have read. Despite the corner the board have backed themselves into, I really do feel that if Benitez can’t turn around the next 2 games, he will be forced to walk to save face (the board’s that is, if there is any to save). Who’ll take over? I was having an interesting conversation with a colleague today who had the opinion that professional footballers don’t really need a coach – they should be able to work out how to play together themselves. I agreed with him up to a point, adding that a good manager provides leadership and motivation – which appears not to be the case with Benitez in this instance. In saying that, we probably have two of the finest leaders in professional football today, John Terry and Frank Lampard who you referred to as a random possibility to take over the reins. It has been done before by this very club not that long ago. Would it be worth it in the short term?
Interesting article thank you , one point i`d like to make about Ancelotti`s reign as manager, is it was during his tenure that we lost being a powerhouse at home, especially in his second season, Whether it was his tactics or just style of management, but teams started coming to the Bridge with the belief that they could take something from the game, before that, even under Grant and Scolari, many teams were beaten before they even stepped on to the Bridge turf, because we were simply feared at home . We`ve stil not recovered that to this day, too many teams now arrive at the Bridge fancying their chances, and that can be traced back to Ancelotti .
one point missing from this excellent article is the sacking of Ray Wilkins. We had just won the double & was top of the League around November time Wlkins was then sacked at it has been downhill since then in the Premiership.
Balanced comment. However the periods of success following a sacking are when we reverted back to Mourinho´s team and tactics with the great swansong that was that night in Munich.
