CHELSEA FANS SHUT UP AND MOVE ON
There has been some rumbling about the hiring of Rafael Benitez as Chelsea's interim coach and the firing of Roberto Di Matteo by some Chelsea's football club fans.
It is said that, the fans of Chelsea are not in support of the move to hire him because he hated Chelsea while he was the coach at Liverpool as the reason.
Is this a joke? 'He hated Chelsea and loved Liverpool' was he supposed to love a rival and hate the club he coaches?
While Mourinho was the coach of Chelsea, he rated Chelsea's players as the best in the world regardless. Drogba was the best striker, Cole was the best left back, Terry was the best central defender and Lampard was the best mid-fielder.
Today he is saying the same of Real Madrid players, his new team. Cristiano Ronaldo is better than Messi, even if three quarter of the world doesn't agree with him.
A good coach is supposed to make the opposing team hate themselves, same with the opposing fans, so if Chelsea's fan feel that way about him, then Benitez is certainly the right man for the job at Chelsea. Because he will also make Chelsea's fans love their club again with a greater level of passion and the other teams will hate themselves as he seem to have done to Chelsea fan when he coached Liverpool.
Benitez by the way is a wonderful coach. He won the La liga twice and the Champions League once.
2. People talk about the policy of hiring and firing.
Its either we forget so soon or we just don't like to remember. But don't worry i will do both for us.
It was this same policy of hiring and firing that gave Chelsea the Champions League, you remember? If AVB wasn't fired, RD would never had been hired and if that didn't happened, Chelsea may never have won the Cup. So the policy is working whether we like it or not.
3. A lot of people still don't understand the workings of management. You don't pitch your tent against management and think you will win. You will lose everytime even if you win the debate, you will lose the war. I know this first hand.
Customers may be king but only when it comes to the product and not with management. If management asked you to do something and you placed satisfying the customers above the wishes of management or management decision or going by your guts as we put it today, you will lose everything T even if you win the debate.
Indications are that, Di Matteo told management of his desire to bench Torres for the crucial match against Juventus in Turin but was told categorically not to do so, he however went with his guts and bench Torres any way, hoping to win or draw the match but lost woefully. Even if Chelsea had won the match, going against the wishes of management meant he risked been fired but Chelsea lost, his strategy back fired and he was fired.
4. AVB left Chelsea in a better state in the Champions League than RD. When AVB was fired Chelsea still had their fate in their hands, a win against Napoli in the return leg would still guarantee them a passage to the knockout stages but when RD was sacked, even a win in the last match for Chelsea will not guarantee them through to the knockout stages, why? their fate isn't anymore in their hands but the result of the final match between Juventus and Shakhtar.
Which is better, to have your fate in your own hands or that of another. I choice the former any day except of course if the other person is JESUS CHRIST.
AVB lost his last match in Italy, isn't is irony that RD also lost his last match also in Italy?
The decision to sack RD was spot on and if he wasn't sacked, i would have felt bad for Chelsea. It would mean Roman Abramovich had lost his touch for winning but he clearly hasn't.
When a team or busines concern isn't working or doing as expected, you don't fired or sack the entire staff or players to make meaningful changes, you change the management team, it cost less and is far more effective.
That's simple what the owner and the board of Chelsea management did and am completely in support of it.
Chelsea fans, shut up and move on pls.
