Posted March 10, 201312 yr kind words for JT, not for AVB... http://shedlowerblue.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/magnay-my-time-at-chelsea.html#!/2013/03/magnay-my-time-at-chelsea.html
March 10, 201312 yr Very Interesting and shows just how much havoc and resentment avb created while here. It will be interesting to see how he treats the youth players at spuds.
March 10, 201312 yr I'd forgotten he did that with the youth players. A very strange thing to do for a manager who was supposed to be building a long-term "project". Glad we got rid of him. (AVB)
March 10, 201312 yr kind words for JT, not for AVB... http://shedlowerblue.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/magnay-my-time-at-chelsea.html#!/2013/03/magnay-my-time-at-chelsea.html Thanks - really good read. Very good insights into the way the club do things.It just reinforces what I already think i.e that it's not a well-run club but is lucky to have characters of the stature of JT and Lamps to maintain the ethos and spirit of Chelsea. Left to the managers and the muppets who appoint them, we wouldn't have that. People should never forget how bad AVB was in his time with us.
March 10, 201312 yr Very pleasant read - I am glad to hear he enjoyed his experience at Chelsea (even if he didn't quite make it), and his opinions were pretty on-the-ball (and more in line with those of the fans than some still employed by the club). He also didn't sound bitter about not making it and in fact seemed grateful to have been given the opportunity at all. Best of luck to Carl, I hope he goes on to have a great career.
March 10, 201312 yr Funny how the things we always think about the club are usually exactly the way they really are. I mean about the youth players, about the managers, about AVB, about JT, about Jose and so on. Great to read a piece from a lad who's seen it all from the inside.
March 10, 201312 yr That's refreshingly honest and intelligent from Carl. I also thought he came across like more of a fan with special insight than a typical footballer, who are usually too concerned with not burning any bridges to actually say anything interesting.
March 10, 201312 yr Paints a different picture of AVB to what I thought, I knew about how he treated Alex and Anelka but I assumed that was to make room for more young players to train with the first team, how wrong I was!
March 10, 201312 yr Good read. Love these little insights into the going on's at the team. Also glad that he comments on how great a captain JT is, and confirms the poor treatment of Alex and Anelka. Silly by AVB.
