But we'd have success and a good squad with a winning mentality so I don't quite see the problem???

Look what happened to both Chelsea and Inter when Mourinho left.

Loads of supporters of other sides are saying we've had a poor year but I bet almost all of them would swap a few league positions for two trophies (should we win the cup). Overall there's a hell of a lot more to be positive about with this current crop than the squad left behind when Rafa and Roy left, I don't understand how people can say otherwise if I'm honest, the owners have been in for three transfer windows and imo they've cut a lot of the cr@p and invested (maybe not as wisely as some would have liked but they trusted Kenny). As far as I'm concerned a proper number 9 and a bolstering in the middle of the park and this side is good to go.

How that bellend can say backwards is beyond me - we've not been in the top 4 for 3 seasons now and we've been through two managers...maybe patience will be a virtue this time round...

Clueless

Patience? Maybe we should all gather round, hold a seance for shanks, light candles and josticks and sing 'Cum By Ya M'Lord". Before each game.

Well it kind of proves the point that Chelsea didn't entirely collapse after Maureen left doesn't it, which was the initial argument, or did you just join the conversation for some other reason?

Mourinho is their most successful manager.

you forgot to mention that bit about chelsea spending more money than any club in the history of the game up to that point, lets face it they werent far away anyway, ranieri had finished second and got through to a CL semi final when he lost his job, under ranieri chelsea had broken the transfer record a few times and signed players like duff, makelele, crespo, veron, petit, lampard, glen johnson, joe cole, wayne bridge, mutu, gallas etc etc
mourinho did well but he never performed miracles at chelsea, all the cards were in his favour, infact he never got any further than ranieri did in the CL.
