    The on-going farce that is this season has left me disillusioned and concerned that the Chelsea board are cluele s to how their actions are perceived and how the constant changes continues to affect the state of the club. It than makes me wonder where the club will be in 5 years time and fear that there is no long term plan, no direction or vision on how to ensure that the club continues to succeed. It is a football club, run by busine s men whose Bill Mazeroski Jersey philosophy is based on results first and who have no knowledge or insight into the game.It is almost impo sible to criticize the Chelsea board and their hire and fire approach from a succe s point of view. Despite going through 8 managers in 9 years, Chelsea has still managed to win 9 major honours. For the fans it has also demonstrated that in Roman Abramovich, they have an owner who only settles for the very best, and an owner with a zero tolerance policy to managers who fall short of his high expectations.However these high expectations, continuous interventions and inability to have complete ownership and control would turn off most let alone the best managers in the game. Add to this, the lack of cla s and respect that they have shown to some of the top managers in world football and you do find yourself asking. Why would anyone want to manage this club?Before any managerial change is made the board need to make some changes of their own for the sake of the club. Firstly they need to understand that they appoint football people for a reason and that these managers and coaches have the knowledge and know-how and need to be left to do the job theyve been employed to do. Secondly they need to learn to be patient and accept that to move forward Chelsea may need to go backwards, adjust and rebuild and give a manager a real opportunity to actually see out their contractChelseas next managerial appointment is a key one, this appointment will need be responsible in securing a succe sful long term future, whilst having the seemingly impo sible job of rebuilding the clubs reputation.The smart appointment would be to bring back Kevin Newman Jersey Jose Mourinho and allow him complete control of the club. Here is a man who led the first transition of installing confidence and belief in the squad before turning Chelsea into winners, and all without a scratch on the clubs reputation. The special one himself has already expre sed his desire to return home and his own ego would love the opportunity of a second coming to fix the problems made by the Chelsea hierarchy. However any hint of a return would mean certain senior members at the club, swallowing their pride and accepting their original mistakes, something that I cannot see happening.Another excellent candidate would be Evertons David Moyes. It would completely break the mold for Chelsea, a well-respected British manager who understands the demands and expectations of English football and ability to work in situations that Chelsea are in now. Whilst he is unable to boast a trophy on his CV, he does boast over seeing a transition of Everton, from relegation threatened to a hard to beat club pushing for European football, on a limited budget and developing players from the academy. He is also a man touted as a long term replacement for Sir Alex Ferguson, it would be an ideal opportunity for Chelsea to think outside the box and beat the rush for a well-rounded and developed manager.Sadly the likelihood of these appointments is slim whilst it is even more unlikely that the board will take a back seat regarding the running of the club. The hope of a manager being able to work with the autonomy and freedom they need to get Chelsea moving in the right direction is likely to stay a dream and the cycle the board has created will continue.As fans it could be a time to endure the suffering and pray that common sense will one day prevail.It is almost impo sible to criticise the Chelsea board and their hire and fire approach from a succe s point of view.

Why would anyone want to manage this club?I appreciate that fans are fickle, when trophies are being won, you dont care how, and you just bask in the succe s and up your banter to those who are le s fortunate.

One thing is for sure the disgruntled and disillusioned fans will continue to use the Benitez appointment to drive their a me sage to the board that the state of the club will no longer be tolerated and as long as that continues the club will not succeed.Are you thinking of doing some online betting on an Football fixture?
