Chelsea bigger than United? Give me a break!

I woke up this morning to read in the papers that dear old Mr Kenyon believes that Chelsea will be bigger than United. I don’t know what planet this guy lives on sometimes, as a figure I dislike most in football, he will always be on my shortlist.

Kenyon left United a number of years ago to join Roman Abromavich and his millions. His stated ambition was to make Chelsea a profitable business by 2008. Sorry Kenyon but you are going to fail on that front. He has now decided to say that Chelsea will be bigger than United, his reason? “Because they do things a little differently.” He goes on to say that United have their history, but that Chelsea have been built from scratch.

Sorry to correct you Peter but Chelsea have not been built from scratch and your club would implode if your owner were ever to shut up shop one day. As far as I am concerned history is very important for any supporters in football. Look at Liverpool, Arsenal and even Nottingham Forrest. All have a rich history and a huge fan base.

Let’s also look at the success Abromovich’s millions have brought the club, 2 league titles and a carling cup in 4 years. For the money they have spent it doesn’t even come close to what clubs like United, Liverpool and Arsenal have achieved, off their owns backs I might add.

Then there is the tapping up scandals that Chelsea a repeatedly accused of. It seems that they are forever in the news for meeting players illegally, bidding for players after they have signed contracts with other clubs, or more worryingly, moving families of young stars to get around the 90 minute rule that the FA impose. Kenyon must take some of the responsibility for these actions. There total disregard for the rules sets a bad example and furthermore they have the attitude that money will make these issues go away. The FA should take note of the actions taken in Italy.

Anyhow rant over about Chelsea and their supposed dodgy dealings, we have a game to win on Sunday and I know our players are going to be more up for this one than any other. Let’s show Chelsea who are the real kings of the premiership.
