Chelsea..

[boundngag]

I am admittedly not Mourinho's biggest fan. But he inherited most of his team from Ranieri, although admittedly added more belief and defensive ability to it. Then he left a team that was probably already in decline and the subsequent managers were never able to do anything about it, due to the lack of time and faith they were given by Abramovic.

On the Mark Clattenburg issue, I really can't believe they behaved in the way that they did no the word of someone who doesn't fully understand English. I was sure they would have had more evidence, or at least witnesses, in order to justify the action that they took. Given that this continues to happen at Chelsea, regardless of who the manager is, who instigates this behaviour? Does it perhaps stem from Abramovic himself.

On the situation at Chelsea and, for that matter, Manchester city, does anyone remember what happened to Gretna? Brooks Mileson funded their progress right through the Scottish leagues to the SPL, then became ill and his financial support, before he passed away. Gretna were liquidated. If anything ever happens to Abramovic, Chelsea in my opinion, are not a big enough team to survive.
