Thierry Henry and Jamie Carragher were on Sky Sports last night talking about Chelseaâs defeat to Nottingham Forest, and where things had gone so wrong for the Blues this season.
Everyone knows they want a âtop managerâ to come in this summer and fix things. But according to Carragher, they had one as recently as January and let him go.
âThey had that manager in Maresca. I was really impressed with the work that Maresca did. Then there was a clash of personalities,â Carragher said.
âBut once you get a manager that starts winning trophies, understandably he wants more power. Thatâs normal, thatâs what top managers. Theyâre going to have to deal with that in the future if they do get a top manager or someone successful â they missed out on Maresca.â
It does seem like an inevitability that any coach will demand more power if they succeed. Itâs not a winning strategy to sack your managers when they have success.
âNo chance⊠for that type of expenditure you should be challenging for the league⊠theyâre a big club.â
