Notice how good Chelsea are now. This time last year they were floundering about in like 12th/13th place. Change of manager, and they have become title contenders.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
yeah....spent a chunk of time since the game, yes saddo I know,thinking about this. The chelsea manager had totally changed the club. The same players I saw yesterday the last time I saw them play, they looked like a bunch of weaklings and disinterested. I have only respect for the amazing transformation. Why we have transgressed in the same period? Because the backing for the managers are very much 180 degrees of each other. One manager got backed to the hilt and the other was given kids to work with,
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That squad had been developed over 3 or 4 seasons hasn't happened overnight, this manager had just added the finesse and installed confidence
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Building on the work Poch did to get them to 6th last season
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This.
They have been great for most of 2024. As much as Poch is a nearly man IMO, he got them all playing together and Maresca has just continued that.

He wanted Neto, eze and Gallagher
He got gray, bergvall and odobert
That’s Tottenham Hotspur under Daniel levy
See you the same time next year for the same comments

AVB didn't get players he wanted either after we sold Bale. We were still doing a lot better under AVB than we are currently with Ange. I'm still not convinced we wouldn't have a lot of the same issues even had we signed those players.
You can say we should be signing better ready made players anyway but it's a cop out to excuse Ange because of it. He is clearly underperforming compared to how we should be. Not having Neto, Gallagher and Eze is not the reason we lost to the Palace and Ipswich sides who hadn't won a game until they played us.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
AVB as the kids would say, was done dirty. He achieved a record points total with us and we were 5th when we sacked him. His first summer we sold Modric and the second summer we sold Bale. He was given next to no time to bed the new players in.
We faaaacked Poch over the season after we made the CL final, finished top 4 and had not spent a bean the summer beforehand.
We got rid of Redknapp after he had us in the CL
We sacked Joel at halftime of a Europa game after he got us back into Europe for the first time in a decade
Jose - 6 days before a league cup final - no well run club on the planet does that
Conte - wouldn’t sign who he wanted after he got us into the CL spots ahead of Arteta Arsenal in his first season.
I rate all of these managers above Ange - but this is the guy some of our support will go to bat for??? They back Levy for all of these managers above above
Bizarre

AVB was incredibly unlucky compared to other managers truth be told and I felt at the time he should have been allowed longer. I get that we had some big losses going on around the time and the football was dull but he actually had 1 more point at the time of sacking than last season when he got 72 points, and won all his Europa games, and lost the best player of the previous season. It puts Ange to shame really and makes it hard to believe Levy is backing him.
