Although Chelsea seem at last to be turning it around after going through managers quicker than bargirls go through customers - so it can be done if you get the right manager!!
I dint think many Chelsea fans believe Maresca is the right manager and he hasn't really achieved more than Poch last season, with a better squad. Although if we do qualify for the Champions League, that's obviously better that what we qualified for last season. The problem being that the team hasn't really kicked on in the way it was expected, especially after our excellent start.
In fairness, there are other issues behind the scenes that affect the team. The sheer volume of players purchased, the way some favourites were deemed expendable, such as Gallagher, Chilwell and Chalobah, who was loaned out to Palace, then brought back, with talk being that he is now deemed expendable again. It's madness.
On saying that, the best goalie at the club, Petrovic, who was inexplcably loaned out to Strasburg last season, and ended up being voted player of the year at Strasburg, should be returning, and we have a couple of young Brazilians heading back after loan periods, where one was also named his clubs player of the year. They should be replacing the dross the co-sporting directors keep bringing in and where one, if not both should go.
