well, lets not forget lads that he did take chelsea to the champions league final a few years ago. also to be fair, he has managed portsmouth and west ham (2 shit teams), it's not always the manager's fault that the teams go down. their fault if they are shit.

but equally, he managed chelsea who may have finished 2nd place in the premiership that year? again, he managed a good team so he can't take all the credit for it. bottom line is that the players deserve a lot of credit/slack for where they end up too.
