Make no mistake, tomorrow night against Porto could be make-or-break for Jose Mourinho and his immediate future as Chelsea manager. A win and we move forward in the competition and breathe again. A defeat? It doesn't bear thinking of. Chelsea and Jose Mourinho are in crisis.
This whole situation is a total mess and I do not for one second put the blame firmly at Jose Mourinho's door. The players have been abject this season and if anything, they should be summoned before Roman Abramovich and asked to explain themselves.
If anything, they should be threatened with the sack for breach of contract as they get paid vast amounts of money to do something which for the majority, they haven't been doing and that is to perform.
Maybe, these players should be focusing more on the job at hand rather than focusing on the monies they are paid and their individual investments!
Then again you have to look at Jose Mourinho and his blind faith he puts in certain individuals who have let him down time and time again.
I firmly believe that when it comes to analysis, training and match preparation, Jose Mourinho is the best there is. The problem Mourinho and any other manager in the game has is that as soon as they cross that white line, it's up to them to deliver.
Plenty of people are having their say at the moment and there is always plenty of differing opinions out there. However, one person I have heard give theirs and that's Sir Alex Ferguson.
When asked of the situation at Chelsea right now he said:
So Sir Alex backs him to turn things around and I understand that but there will be Chelsea fans reading this asking the question how many weeks can we carry on saying this?
One thing is for sure, the game against Porto tomorrow night has become as important as the game was under Claudio Ranieri against Liverpool at Stamford Bridge at the end of the 2002-2003 season. The players were told the club was about to go bust unless they won the game and qualified for the Champions League.
With the new stadium in the pipeline, Chelsea MUST play Champions League football. That looks like being beyond us this season so the longer we can participate in this seasons competition the better.
A defeat could be costly for Jose Mourinho but most importantly of all, It could be even more so for Chelsea Football Club as they strive to adhere to financial fair play. God only knows what could happen to our club if we had to settle for a season without any form of European competition looking at things from purely a financial perspective.
I just hope that we can get the win tomorrow and when I say that, I will take anything to get it. A deflection, an owl goal, a rebound off the Goalkeepers arse, anything!
Tomorrow is D-Day and I just hope for once, we can deliver.
I do not want to see Chelsea and Jose fail. He has been an inspiration and made us a proud club but something has not clicked this season. Has he lost confidence in himself to motivate the players. With their experience, skills and huge salaries they should have enough personal motivation but Jose is responsible for bringing all that together and making it work. It is called management, now is the time for him to show he is up for the long run and not just a sprinter. True fans want you to succeed Jose, don't let us down?
ReplyDeleteCould,nt have put it any better Mike,,We do want JM to turn this nightmare/season around,,the rise of CFC,as a major player is mainly down to the investment of Roman,all the plaudit,s have in the main gone to Jose for what,s been acheived by the club in the last decade,,as a manager this is a first for him,,,we can all have our opinions as to why this season so far,has been the ;one from hell;we can only hope that we as a Club learn from this,and that Jose can get this sorted,,having said all that,,I,m still so p - - - - d off watching these players week after week,,could the squad be rotated/more,with some of Jose favourites missing a few games,,clear to me,we are carrying a few,and you can,t do that at this level..
DeleteThere has been enough and more speculation on the Jose saga. Everything right from motivation factor, players issue, transfer spending and Jose's big mouth have been discussed in detail. But the fact of the matter is that he is not going anywhere unless Roman sacks him and Roman is not doing that, just yet. Jose will have to dig deep and graft his way through this mess with his mouth shut. It is a going to be a tough and a lonely task. The special one has made a lot of enemies on his way up to success and he will have to deal with the same guys on his way down as well.
