ok, ok, i see your point, but then u must admit at the sudden amount of arsenal and man u fans suddenly appearing on this forum slating chelsea? if we wern't a challenge to either team, we wouldn't have the nieve fans in here taking a pop.

And i think mourinho does live up to the hype, he learnt from the best --->bobby robson in his prime, and has now taken that to every team he has managed or assisted with. i think he has a very proven track record<-----not sure if that was good grammar or not!

I know what you mean, and I enjoy the challenge, yeah we are in hear alot but thats only cos your up there with arsenal as our "rivals" so the banter has gotta flow, I do think that because its been an overnight thing with chelsea your still not being taken as seriously as you would had your background been similar to the likes of arsenal, LFC and United.

I agree that Mourinho has a good track record but like I said whether he'll go down as one of the greats, only time will tell...
 
Well judging off the money they made last year i expect the club will be come self sufficient within a couple of years! and id still expect Roman to be there then. On the staying at the top thing, its funny how things turn out, Liverpool fans were saying the same thing to United as you are to Chelsea now!

How many times have we gone over this?
Abramovich has commited his self to the club for a long time, and soon enough we will be financially stable by ourselves, dont ask me how long but apparantly its soon.

Well Glazer has said the same thing to Man Utd fans yet we're still worried that he can walk out on us. And Glazer is in it for the proft so we should have a better reason to suggest that he would stay. What is Abramovich in it for? He said it himself that he only bought Chelsea to show off his money.

And the sort of thing I'm saying you should worry about is what Beachryan said.
beachryan said:
Yeah, Chelsea are here to stay, barring disaster with Roman (imagine some corruption charge leading to the seizing of his assets, including the club, can you say fire sale?)

Anything can happen to Abramovich that can then hurt Chelsea. Why do you think Man Utd fans did want the fate of our club in the hands of someone like Glazer? :roll:

nah there is a difference, we we're getting our place at the top AGAIN, chelsea are just starting out...
 
You seems so condfident in Chelsea, Sulph that its gonna be so funny if Chelsea wind up losing everything.
 
Such obvious jealousy. Chelsea is a world-class team with arguably the best manager in the world today, anyone who denies it don't know anything about football. They will be at the top for years to come, with or without Abramovich. This from a Liverpool-fan. End of.
 
I hate Mourinho but must admit the man is a shrewd tactician, motivator and instigator. I hate that they can buy talent and let it rot on the bench, but then again, they are only doing what other teams have done in the past.

At the end of the day, he still has to fashion a slew of egos and salaries into a team, and he has done that rather impressively. And, he has maintained the core of the team in his two English stars Terry and Lamps. Personally, this makes for bad competition on one hand, but better competition for the EPL crown on the other hand.

It's football. what can ya say?
 
Sulph said:
Yup, but then you can say that to anyone and any club.

No you can't. :roll:
You can only tell that to fans that are confident even when theres a possibility that everything can go wrong.

What I'm trying to say is that no one at the moment is talking about Glazer cuz he's offering us money to go out and buy big players. But I'm personally still worrying that if Glazer all of a sudden decides to sell our assets or we fail to pay the debts, we'll be screwed.
If I was a Chelsea fan, I'd feel the same way about Roman. Lets say Chelsea have 2 bad season like Man Utd's recent years, which BTW can happen to anyone, whats stopping Abramovich from saying "Screw this, I've had my fun. I'm off"? As a fan, I'm not willing to take that risk even if they promised success.
Now dont give me that crap about how Chelsea will be able to support itself but the year 2076 or whatever. Cuz the fact still remains that Roman is paying for the big wages like Crespo's and Drogba's money. Its true that without Abramovich, Chelsea as of right now are still strong enough to beat anyone, but if no one pays the player's wages, how many players from the current squad will stay?

I can see why things like that wouldnt bother Chelsea fans cuz all they did was watch their players perform and enjoy the entertainment.
But Man Utd on the otherhand were partly built by the fans which is why it means so much to us and why someone like Glazer taking over would seem like its gonna ruin what we built.

So seriously think about it. You still dont think theres even a teeny tiny chance that things can really f*ck up for Chelsea?

Cheers mate.
 
How has this got anything to do with jealousy? Hav I ever denied that Chelsea have a great team or a manager or anything? No

You're just avoiding the simple point I made because I'm right.

The beauty about football is it kicks you up the arse now and again, when you least expect it. I personally think Chelsea will win a few trophies, but don't expect them to be totally dominant......and let's face it, without Abramovich, they would struggle to keep paying the squad they've got. Still, as long as they play entertaining football, everyone's a winner. :D
 
Runeedge, yes i do agree i am a little bit worried, but at the same time, im not at all. I trust what the board have said, that he'll be around for some time, so im just gonna enjoy the football.
I can't constantly worry about what abramovich is going to do, it would be like walking around worried a plane is going to fall on me! Why worry till it happens, chill man! gnarley!<-------------:D
 
No no. What I mean is that why act so over confident when things can go horribly wrong? But maybe its not you. Its just Sulph that acts that way.

But what I'm trying to get across is that Glazer bought Man Utd to make a profit which means he definately has a genuine interest in the club. If the club doesnt do well and its also his loss. But Abramovich doesnt really have a incentive to stay at Chelsea. Roman is clearly not in it for the money so he's basically toying with Chelsea. So whats stoping him from putting his toy down and finding something else to play with?
 
I think Abramovich really enjoys what he's getting out of this. Although in the background, I think he simply wants to create successful things and gets a kick out of the humanistic side of things. When they won the league you could see the delight on his face. Good for football as we don't really care where the money comes from, but like so many successful businessmen, they should have been put behind bars many years ago for past demeanours/dodgy dealings.

I do wonder what he will do when he's won everything. This is a man who does not seem to settle for what he has got, he always wants more whether it's expanding hi business or buying an even bigger boat!

What Abramovich is doing at Chelsea in my mind is wrong because he is completely fucking up the football economy but there is nothing against him doing it and if I had his money I would probably invest in seeing Arsenal do well.

The 2 people that do Chelsea's image no good are the bald twat Kenyon and Mourinho.

Kenyon sets himself up for a big fall by making these Chelsea will rule the world statements and his disrespectful way of carrying out transfer dealings is making no club in the world want to deal with Cheslea. If they do they want to screw as much money out of them as they can.

Mourinho is entitled to play mind games that shit has been going on for years, but digging at Gerrard for sticking with the club he loves and telling him is is messing up his career is bang out of line. And suggesting his reserves could win the premiership is just stupid and arrogant.

Chelsea need to be aware that they are the team to beat this year and everyone will be after them. That will make this season a hell of a lot harder for them. Last year everyone cheered them on as the were breaking the big 2's domination. Now it's the big 3 the neutral couldn't give a fuck how Chelsea are doing.

Agree with all that - which is why I can see everybody will be out to get them in one way or another. I particularly think the Gerrard quote was a bit silly.....as for the reserves winning the league....come on, Mourinho, put your money where your mouth is! :lol:
 
So what if Abram bought Chelsea to show off his money, doesnt mean he is going to let it slip down the pan, I mean its like other people who buy expensive cars just to show off their millions upon millions of pounds, doesnt mean they are just going to crash the car at the end of it because they only bought it to show off their money.

All I see RunEdge so is act jealous of Chelsea while bumming his beloved United, what you talking about "if" Chelsea cant pay wages, what IF that Glazer guy does it before Abram, what you going to say now?

Fact is Chelsea are still paying the wages, so instead of talking shit about something which probably aint going to happen, change the subject to how Chelsea is going to win the season, regardless of what you "think" is going to happen.

See you say Abram could just ditch Chelsea yet your saying Glazer wont, how confident are you about that?. Why would he be in it for the money when he has billions?..who said everything had to revolve around money?..why cant he just be doing it because he loves football and he wants to own a successfull team?

Did you even read what I said? I meant that so many Man Utd fans are worried about Glazer yet no one is worried about Roman? Glazer has a better reason to stay than Roman but Chelsea fans dont give a damn. Which is why I said that if I was a Chelsea fan, I'd be concerned about the future of the club. Never did I say that it couldnt happen at Man Utd.

Thats funnier than when the Glazers claimed they were big Man Utd fans. Its a fact that he's only doing it to show off his money. He has admitted it himself.

I think kingpug has enough trouble writing a legible sentence. :mrgreen: Anyway, pointless arguing. Chelsea are going to win the league without playing a game, aren't they? Will be interesting to see the mind games really start because there weren't that many last season. ;)
 
And Benitez seems to know how to handle him well too.
I think that will be the key factor in Liverpool's rise to the top.
 
I think Rafa's confidence in himself and what he is doing is starting to get to Jose...or should I say Kenyon? At the very least, all will be sorted for another year by the end of May.:D
 
The biggest test this season will be Chelsea's big games. That will decide the title. They've proven that they have the depth and consistency to beat weaker teams more or less all the time. But in the big games, Arsenal/United/Pool, that'll decide it. If they win most of them, they'll take it. But if those teams can all take points, then I'd say United and Arsenal will have a chance.

And before anyone responds I realise that Chelsea had the double over United last season, but the first game was almost United reserves, and the second was closer than the 3-1 sounds (tiago's shot...i doubt he even thought it was going, plus Cole was decently offside)
