What can one say about this. You can win the world cup. Come very close to winning the European Cup. But, in England if you aren't in first place after 6 months you can't coach.<div><br /></div><div>Chelsea does not seem to be setting itself up for long team success. They have no players coming through their youth system. No purchases of promising young players. When the owner runs out of money, they are gonna be in trouble.</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05957169859719697388noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7169468.post-44903470706606469162008-04-07T07:38:00.000-07:002008-04-07T07:47:23.971-07:00Wrong About Newcastle's PlayersI gotta say I was wrong about Newcastle to a degree. The initial group Keegan was playing was just not very good. Given the results of the last few weeks, he just had to find the best 11 for his team and he did.<br /><br />A good coach, adjusts his system for the players he has. Putting Michael Owen in midfield so you have your best 11 on the field was a great move. At club level, Keegan is a very good manager.<br /><br />With a new owner, it will be interesting to see if the club can build a team that will last. The ManU's, Arsenal's, and Liverpool's, all tend to buy great players when they are young and keep them through their prime. Newcastle has tended to buy older players usually past their prime. Can they change? We will see.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05957169859719697388noreply@blogger.com0
