I read with disbelief on hearing the sacking of Scolari as a Chelsea coach. While the competitive nature of me was all smiles and glee at this turn of event at Stamford Bridge, the decision to axe him was a bit of a puzzle to me.
The Roman (read Abrahamovic) wants to see a different kind of football being played at the Bridge after seeing Mourinho grinding 1-0 results at a monotonous and boring frequency.
The Roman wants to see real flair Ala Brazil so steps in Scolari a Gene Hackman look alike Brazilian.
He has the credentials and appears to have the management skills to achieve the Roman's dream.
The Roman i believed underestimate the inherent culture of the club, hey man you may be the owner but the club is still quintessential very English.
John Terry playing Brazilian style football? You must be kidding.
Possibly it is just pocket money change for the compensation he's paying Scolari.
The impatient Roman must be pretty upset that his club is being upstaged continuously now by one famous club (ahemm..) that is being run by a working class bred Glaswegian whose idea of being posh and having a bit of class is to own a racing horse.
The English Premier league is moving towards the Easter period and that 's when real title contenders will emerge.
I am observing this recent surge by Aston Villa with mixed feelings. Villa was a club that i always frequented on a Saturday afternoon during the early 80's with Withe, Cowans strutting their stuff. I was then a student in Birmingham.
If indeed one day the Glaswegian decides to retire, i strongly urge the Manchester United owners not to look far for a replacement.
Martin O'neill is the man,he has shown how best to run British clubs at the top level after achieving success at Celtic and now Aston Villa.
So to the Roman, keep on changing your managers with continental upstarts!!
