I'm not sure Mou would fair any better than Benitez with the same restraints personally

The argument about Maureen and finances is a valid one, however, lets not forget he was very successful with Porto and Inter too, where he didn't have a bottomless pit of money. He is amongst the top 3 managers in the world. I still rate Carlo Ancelloti as better but Maureen is right up there, no doubt. I dislike him and his fleet of busses, but credit where its due.
Personally i think Chelsea will park the bus, a 0-0 suits them fine.

I'm not overly confident myself Stan but to say it would be a miracle is just wrong. But then Vish does seem to love the chavs and Maureen.
One of the good things for me is that they have to come out and can't just park the bus like they did last week. That could work in our favour a bit as the game should be open. unlike Brendan. How many times have we been able to beat them at the Bridge while they were managed by him ? I don't remember any though could be mistaken. In addition, we haven't won against any top team and we are playing away and they are going to probably play their best team. So I will call it a miracle as it happens in football every now and then. It must be nice to be in a position where you can assemble a squad exactly the way you want with players hand picked for each position - litterally immune to finances. He is a good manager, but his sittuation doesn't hurt his cause. Yes it must be nice, first of all you need to be right in who you want and then manage to get the player you want. Good managers not only manage those reporting to them well but also those they report to. Look how Chelsea fared since Maureen was sacked and how he fared, says everything. They changed I think 5 managers since he left and won the league once under Ancelotti (another top manager by the way) while they won it 2 times over a shorter period while he was their manager. He was sacked and before he was back, had won both the Italian and Spanish leagues. He knows who he needs and how to get the players he wants even when he was at Porto or Inter. Unfortunately don't think we have much of a chance tonight mainly because I don't think Rodgers has the nous to beat Maureen specially at the Bridge, not sure if he has ever beaten his Guru, hopefully I am mistaken or Chelsea plays a weakened team.

Just been to spar got a £1 bag of ringos for the match on sky. But I have a cold as well so under strength for the game and that match fitness might tell in the second half.

Chelsea won the league under Ancelloti, the Europa under Benitez and the Champs league under Di Matteo all in Mourinho's absence. I would say they faired better without him to be honest.

They won the league once over 5 years, that can't be better. Europa league for me is more a best of the rest competition as all the best teams are in the CL. Yes, they did win the CL with Di Mateo, but I don't think it was through Di Mateo's mgt qualities, in cup competitions anything can happen and they had a lot of leaders in the team. The best proof of success in England is is think the league.

And lets not forget, he took over an Inter that had won lots of titles in the run up to him joining so was ready made. With Real he failed miserably. One title in 3 years with the money he spent and the players he had is failure. Nothing less.
Plus, from what I remember, his antics weren't tolerated as the Spanish press didn't kiss his arse like ours does where he can now say virtually what he wants. I'm sure Real's fans didn't like him much either and nor did some of the players that he took over.
Nothing more than a rich mans Allardyce.
