God the dribble Just continues on other threads regarding Chelsea…
Claudio Ranieri was a nice man. People enjoyed the way he conducted himself and the manner in which his character developed. The English media loved him because he at first he didn't understnas a word of English and they made fun of him. He was always good for some ridiculous quote where he would relate art or wild animals to a football match or something totally warped.
Most REAL Chelsea fans were not sad to see Ranieri sacked. Most HALF Assed Chelsea fans or FANS OF OTHER CLUBS were sad to see Ranieri go. Why were these people sad? – Because he was entertaining, not because of his managerial ability. When you go through Ranieri’s career it is hard to find any significant achievements despite having managed some big clubs. In his 4 seasons at Chelsea he managed to deliver the club nothing in the silverware department. Go on the Chelsea Forum and see what kind of reaction you get when you say Ranieri should not of been shown the door....
Go On...
Most Real Chelsea supporters refer to Ranieri as the “Clown”. He was mockingly known as the “Tinkerman” because of his horrible fascination with making 6 or 7 changes for each and every game or completely changing the shape of the team mid match. This led to some absolutely disastrous performance by Chelsea and horrendous inconsistency. Something that has quickly disappeared under the structured and disciplined approach of our new manager.
Perhaps the most famous of a long line of Ranieri clangers occurred in the CL Semi Final against Monoco. Chelsea had done well to hold Monaco to 1-1 away from Home with 10 minutes to go. So you’ve got the away goal, you baton down the hatches and wrap up things at home?? Not according to Ranieri. He took a defender off and bought on a 3rd striker in Hasselbaink. Chelsea capitulated with 3 at the back and ended up losing the Match 3-1 and losing the tie. Ranieri often out smarted himself. At 1-1 at Old Trafford in a match be put Jesper Gronkear a incredibly frustrating left winger, into the back line. Chelsea capitulated again. Players on the whole liked Ranieri as a person but not as a manager. Hasselbaink said so in his book. Players were often scoring a hat trick one week and finding themselves out of the side the next. He had the resources to win at Chelsea and he never came close.
Now lets look at Mourinho. Jose has not lost a home match in 4 seasons of league football at Porto and Chelsea. He has won 4 consecutive league titles. I Believe he has won between 8-10 trophies in the last 4 seasons including the Portuguese Premiership and Cup, The English Premier League, The Champions League, the UEFA Cup and the League Cup. This is what can be referred to as success. A proven winner.
You want to go on about signings? Yeah, sure Ranieri bought some good players to the club. He also bought some bad players who were a bad influence on team spirit and had Chelsea looking more like Real Madrid in that regard. Mutu and Veron were destabilising characters.
The first thing Mourinho did was take John Terry captain and get rid of these players. Sure you might laugh at the price of Drogba but I can tell you he is a valuable contributor. He has a dog of a first touch and fluffs some chances, but he works hard for the team, he celebrates others success as much as his own and he doesn’t whinge when left out. Mourinho brings in players who he belives will fit into the team spirit and not after personal glory. Players such as Carvalho, Ferreria and Essien may not be world beaters but they are hard workers and they contribute well to the team. Ranieri bought Joe Cole but it was Mourinho who has got the best out of him. Cole was a selfish player who was wildly inconsistent under Ranieri. Under Mourinho he has become a world class midfielder who sets up the play as well as defends for the team.
