Last season Chelsea suffered greatly from bad managment and alleged dressing room problems. Yet, they still finished third, only three points behind us.
If they had began the season with Hiddink it could have been a completely different story. They showed us they were no pushover under his managment and made it as far as the semi-finals in the champions league.
Now they have Ancelotti. He has proven himself a good manager in Italy but as Scolari found out, the premiership is very different.
They have a very strong squad already with a lot of strength in depth, and they have now added to it with Zhirkov and Sturridge, both quality players. They will also have Joe Cole back this season.
I think that if Ancelotti provides them with good managment this season, then they will title challenge.
thoughts peeps?
