An Important Question For Chelsea Fans!? the mourinhos conundrum. to stay/leave? by donjazet(m): 2:55pm On May 23, 2016
Guys!! I really need help. I don't know if I am the only one who is really confused rit now!!


With the imminent appointment of José to man united, I am suddenly Doubting my loyalty to Chelsea football club, I am sort of confused who I'll support right now and this is my reason.

I knew about football in 2002 at the age of 13 through the world cup that year, we were the only house that had cable in the area then and pple flocked our house to watch national matches. This made me pick an interest in football but I really didn't know much about any team bar Nigerian team.
I then knew about the EPL in 2003 but wasn't a fan of any team. Pple around me were mostly arsenal fans then because of kano nwankwo but I wasnt really influenced.

I was a neutral for about 2years and within this period was when José came to the EPL. And of course left everyone in football in awe. He changed the dynamic of football in england. He introduced a new formation in england that no one could match (433). He exuded great exuberance and charisma that inspired many and dare I say he was loved by all except of course our bitter rivals (arsenal, Liverpool and man u) who now had a new competitor.

And this was when I made my choice!!! By the summer of 2006, at 16, Chelsea had just won the trophy back to back, [size=16pt]thus making mourinho a 4th time consecutive league winner.[/size] My arsenal friends then were silenced by this man and thus I made my decision. This man literally drew my attention to Chelsea and I loved his success and I loved the ambition of this club hence my decision to support them.

The first time he left, I was really angry and sad, although he can't be exonerated of all blames, he wasn't the root cause, players were forced on him and this led to an array of issues, I was hurt but decided to continue to support basically because I was consoled by the fact that he was going far away, not a rival and more so he had already laid a solid foundation upon which we would build. Years passed and I was correct, the club built on that foundation and became one of the powerhouses in Europe. He himself would go on to acclaim more successes along the way and setting records.. THIS MAN WENT ON A NINE YEAR UNBEATEN HOME LEAGUE RECORD WITH THREE DIFFERENT TEAMS. I could be forgiven for saying he was directly responsible for the success which we have had and for that I will forever be grateful to him.

All these years my love for Chelsea grew more, I decorated my locker and room in secondary school and now university with Chelsea colours stickers and paraphernalia, I have had the highs and lows, I have enjoyed mocking arsenal fans till date, in all, I have enjoyed being a Chelsea fan.

When he came back the second time, I was happy and anxious to see how well things would turn out to be then, because it would be an understatement to say the club was very unstable. He came and tried his best. He was fired and now...

Now he is moving to a direct rival and I am at a crossroad as to who to support because I still adore his success and tactical acumen. Pls what do I do?

You see, in football, there are really heartbreaking moments you experience, as a Chelsea fan we've had dozens of that!!!b Mourinhos inter Milan winning us, iniestas late goal against us, lampard scoring against us with a major league rival, peter cech almost dying on the pitch, john terrys penalty miss in a champions league final!!! And many more! But these are MOMENTS one will eventually recover from because they are scarce, but in this case, we will be faced with this debacle day in day out. Because you can't wish mourinho be successful and wish Manchester united, a major rival succeed. You get?? And as I said he was the reason I first joined this club although I have grown to really love our club!! I still love him very much.!! wink


People might want to say you're not a true fan or shit like that but no!!! That's not true, its just that I acknowledge the fact that he brought me here and now I dont know if I can stand being his rival.

Well I guess one can be both.. There are many man united fans who are Ronaldo fans too, who would want him to also be successful, now how would man u fans feel if tomorrow he came to Chelsea or giggs becoming a Chelsea coach??

Its a good question.


What makes each one of us pledge allegiance to the clubs we support?

For most Nigerians, our allegiance is not formed by birth, cultural ties, or location....it is by choice.

Touts and criminals like Dopejemi chose to support the dirty red devils for whatever reason.

I see no reason why you can't choose to be neutral to clubs and pledge your allegiance to a manager instead

I don't think its possible to call yourself a football fan without having an alliance with a team. It doesn't happen! But rarely do pples choices take this form of contradiction.
