Chelsea?
I loathe them. But my my question here is, will this dominance thing they are clearly trying to achieve by signing all the best players work? and if so how long will it last?
There's a lot of things to worry about if you dislike them. first that they haven't thrown all there money about in silly places. They've set deals up with PSV (i mean they have a last 8 CL club as their feeder club, Man U have Antwerp) and Corinthians by the looks of things, which seems to be playing the part of a south american storage locker so that Italian and spanish teams can't hoover up the young talent while english clubs have to mess about with work permits. They Kenyon and Mourinho and I imagine a lot of other back room staff has been brought in. The aim seems to be to build a solid foundation so that players in future can be bought with money the club has made rather than been gifted by abrohamovich. however there are bad points hovering, will any of these be enough to make the empire collaspse. First that Abrohamovich is no football obsessed freak and he certainly is no Chelsea fan, is this a genuine attempt to set up a huge club knowing the future profits will be worth it or maybe is it a passing interest? the billionaires equivalent of when the new champ manager comes out and we take two weeks off work to play it. Obviously setting it up in London, England makes me believe that it certainly has long term business potential but whether the enthusiasm will be there in a couple of years when they're maybe having a bad run, I don't know. Plus Abro may be given the reputation of being a slimeball but I've heard he's extremely loyal, I believe there is something about a destitute town he is mayor in that he totally rebuilt, this could point to a future that while he may not always throw the hundreds of millions at Chelsea like he is now, he'll always be there with a helping hand if the crown starts slipping. The second issue is reputation, Chelsea don't have it, and it will be years before they are seen in the same light as Juve, Man U, Milan, Madrid and Barca. these teams are the cream of europe, and the most mentioned in the history books. Even if Mourinho does win the CL, he's no Chelsea die hard would he really be able to turn down a position at Madrid? Players are slightly different as they could refuse any offer and could out bid most teams so the only players that they may lose to their lack of reputation would be ones that knew for sure that refusing chelsea offers would lead to them going to there favourite club. too many cooks? Having superstars on the bench for the first 2 years of their contract may make them unwilling to sign that extension.
