Saturday’s final presents a huge moment in Chelsea’s history: lose, and they face permanent decline as a direct result of Abramovich’s short-sighted management. Any manager attempting to rejuvenate the club has faced intense scrutiny from a man who demands immediate success. As a result managers have continued with short term solutions to appease their boss, bringing some success but fail to revitalise a squad that is now ageing and in decline (proof can easily be seen in the managerial policies of AVB and Di Matteo). Lose on Saturday and fail to qualify next season, will be the culmination of his ruthless managerial decisions. With FFP soon to hit, it could be the beginning of the end of his aimless pursuit of global domination. I wrote an in-depth article using statistical evidence on this subject if anyone is interested, at http://thefootballmattersblog.blogspot.co.uk .
