Mourinho wasn't sacked because of the way the team played, he was sacked because of Abramovich's ego. He couldn't control mourinho and wanted him out.
BY most reports Avran Grant did dick all anyway last season, it was steve clarke that kept mourinho's tactics in shape that got them to the final, you only have to look at how Chelsea have dipped since he went to west ham to see how important he was.
Scolari deserved to be sacked, watching the team play has shown this. NOt only does he only have 1 tactic, which was found out in about week 4 and thus nullified, he also had show an inability to make any tactical changes or substitutions during a match. ALways they were just like for like players hoping a miracle would happen.
The players stopped respecting him, the fans knew of his short comings as a club coach and it was time to go. In all honestly if hed stayed i would think a uefa cup spot would have been a strong possibility.
Mourinho had a point. buting ballack and sheva wer never going to improve his tactics and he disagreed with Roman. Thats y he got the suck. He didnt play attractive football but he got results .
Scolari didnt deserve the sack. Apparently its Cech, Drogba and Ballack who initiated his sack. I think Scolari needed more time. Plus he was faced with an essien injury with Cavalho, Drogba and Joe cole also facin minor/recurring injuries. He also didnt get money to get players to replace them. Buying Deco was a mistake coz we didnt need another attacking midfielder. He would have just played kalou more in the first team. nevertheless that was harsh to sack Scolari. Next season would have been much better than this with Scolari in charge.
Avram Grant didnt get along with players but Chelsea were perhaphs stupid and mean enough to sign a 4 year deal and then axe him.
The problem with Chelsea is not the manager its the owner and some big ego players. Drogba should stop whinin and get on with the game. Ivanovic cannot be a viable replacement for cavalho who has a gud partnership with JT. Anelka is a damn bully. only plays well when he gets what he wants.
If Hiddink gets a permanent contract Chelsea should b set to losin some players. i hope Kakuta, Stoch, Di Santo and Miniero get more starts ion the first team.
