MATCH PREVIEW
Thank goodness there are no Vatican-style chimneys at Stamford Bridge. Otherwise fans could be forgiven for turning away from the action on the pitch to try and catch any puffs of white smoke denoting the nomination of a new leader.
There's only one man they want. Their banners and songs cry out for a return of Jose Mourinho. Sources in the game hint it could actually happen, with Real Madrid turning to Germany boss Joachim Loew. It all helps to feed frenzied speculation.
“The top managers know how to handle strong egos in the dressing room - and succeed. Villas-Boas failed to embrace the club's culture, use it and mould it to his own end”
It doesn't help to blame the premature departure of Andre Villas-Boas on player power. Every leading club has strong egos in the dressing room. The top managers know how to handle them and succeed. Villas Boas failed to embrace the club's culture, use it and mould it to his own end.
Anelka, Cole, Drogba and Lampard may be nearing the end of their Chelsea careers, but they still had important roles to play. He alienated them. Perhaps he should have been given longer, but he suffered 10 defeats. That's almost a quarter of his games!
In the short term, Chelsea's stars with their new show of unity can still turn their campaign around this week. But long-term planning is needed. For that, they could take a leaf out of Stoke's book.
When Peter Coates reappointed Tony Pulis as manager six years ago he had a far reaching and durable scheme - promotion then survival coupled with steady year-on-year team building until the club was established in the top half of the table, competing for trophies and European places.
Even during the recent run of six defeats in eight the partnership stood firm. They're now aiming for a top-eight finish, they're in the last eight of the cup again and already planning for next season - when some older players will be replaced. They're ambitious people. But they're ambitious for the club, the supporters - and the whole community they represent.
For whom is Abramovich ambitious? The club must always come first.
