Ok, so we’re all probably sick and tired of hearing about how miserable Deco is at Chelsea but there’s not much happening on the news front so I thought I might as well acknowledge his latest whinge.
Obviously we should be devastated he wants to leave because he’s clearly made such a huge impact, and we only paid £8million for the privilege of his vast contribution. Ok, to be fair he did have a good enough start to win the Barclays Player of the Month award in his first few weeks with us. Unfortunately though, he couldn’t keep it up and as early as November admitted he was struggling to keep up and it wasn’t long before questions were being asked when he seemed to be competing with Didier Drogba to see who could take the longest to recover from injury. Mind you, his motivation to get back to fitness did appear to improve once the internationals came round – marvelous what a bit of patriotism can do for a dodgy hamstring!
Anyway, enough flattery for now because when it comes to Chelsea, our ageing Portugueser is about as complimentary as our players were of Ovrebo’s Champions League performance. And having already tried the public declaration of love for Jose Mourinho and go to Inter as a way of getting out of Stamford Bridge – and getting no joy yet – Deco’s gone straight for the jugular by making it clear exactly how he feels about Roman Abramovich.
Obviously still a little pissed about Scolari’s sacking, Deco says of Abramovich “Chelsea are kind of his toy. Sometimes Abramovich makes decisions that go over the head of the director of football. The exit of Big Phil was rash. Chelsea are a special club. If Big Phil was perhaps at Manchester United or Liverpool, they respect the coach and give him time to work. But Chelsea are different.”
So he reckons United and Liverpool would have put up with Scolari does he? For starters, they wouldn’t have given him the job in the first place and with competition what it is in the Premier League these days, they wouldn’t put up with their sides being ‘managed’ like that any more than Abramovich would.
Still, I for one am happy the whingeing little shit is miserable and moaning like a bitch because he’s showing his true colours and with him repeatedly telling us “Honestly, I did not like the experience at Chelsea. I’m looking for another club where I can feel good”, I hope Abramovich kicks his arse all the way down Fulham Broadway.
Blue is the colour
