Conspirator Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 You mean you haven't BEEN watching for the last five years? You didn't notice Chelsea go from two-bit occasional Cup team into one of the dominant forces in European football, based on nothing other than one man's cheque book? What are you waiting for? It's already been done. So the inspirational leadership of John Terry (who might I add was taken to the club without the help of Abramovich's billions), the midfield dynamism of Frank Lampard (also signed before the millions!) and the managerial genius of Jose Mourinho had nothing to do with it?

Conspirator Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Supporters don't pay Chelsea's wages; nor will they pay Man City's, any more. That's rather the point. Would Drogba, Essien, Ballack, Shevchenko et al (and not forgetting Robinho), really have moved to their respective clubs if every week they pulled on the club's colours to run around on a patch of grass surrounded by 30,000+ empty chairs? Most professional players (especially in the Premiership) have huge egos, they need to feel valued, supported and loved. Exactly the reason Robinho has moved from Real Madrid IMO. He could have got megabucks at Real, but he wants to be part of a team where he's not just another "Galactico", but where he's someone the fans love and adore. Without the fans, professional players would all just be running around grass with no-one to watch them, and what would be the use of that to their respective egos?

Fivetide Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Kev ain't no damn quitter. He was blatantly pushed. They made his position untenable, refused to sack him to avoid the severance pay-out, probably delayed the crisis with empty promises so he'd not go before the end of the transfer window (thereby preventing the immediate departure of Owen), treated him like dirt. I would love it, LOVE IT if Sparky took over at the Toon and King Kev was allowed to have fun at the Middle Eastlands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You dont honestly think Sparky is going to daft enough to leave Eastlands now do you?and Keegan wouldnt go within 20 miles of Eastlands he knows he cant cut it with the big boys and he wouldnt be able to fall back on ..Iv got no money..excuses there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could go to the Toon y'see. As for Kev, you're doing him a dis-service. He's the ace-est, bestest, most superdooper manager going... in terms of entertainment. He'd be top choice for a team of superstars: None of this cagey, tactical nonsense. Attack, and if that don't work... attack some more. Nah, Keegan's not thge sort of chap you'd trust with an established club but he IS the sort of chap who - given the opportunities (ie signings) - could get a team INTO the top four.
