Again, we need to separate the "Chelsea way" debate from the debate on whether or not Mancini should stay.
They are two totally separate things.
With the exception of the rags and recently, Arsenal, all clubs operate "the Chelsea way" mate.
Luckily for Chelsea, they have huge amounts of money and they have some real quality players.
Had they won nowt I could understand and would probably agree that they have gone about things the wrong way but they have, therefore rubbishing that opinion.
It might be a little unpalatable to some and that's fair enough but it has worked for Roman and Chelsea.
The Chelsea analogy is a poor one in my book, the spine of the team was from Ranieri and taken on under Mourinho, what this team had was not only very good players but also determination to succeed, the likes of cech,cole,terry lampard and drogba don't need a manager to motivate them or tell them how to play.
Managers such as Hiddink,Ancelotti,avram grant just sent those teams out and had to do very little with them, as long as the players were happy all was okay
the senior players were unhappy with scolari and AVB and only then did performances suffer, these players have in effect managed Chelsea, hell even di matteo went back to them last year and won the CL last year
Abramovich's policy of sacking managers hasn't brought them any success at all
