What a kroc!

Luiz Felipe Scolari is a victim of the “instant success” culture that now surrounds English football.

Sir Alex Ferguson took at least five years to bring silverware to Manchester United.

It took him that long to change the culture the previous manager Ron Atkinson had left behind.

Looking at the recent demise of Tony Adams and Paul Ince, the pressures on Premiership managers to achieve a quick fix result is immense.

This is Chelsea’s loss not Scolari, who is a well-respected manager in his own right.

Furthermore Luiz Felipe left a good job as Portugal manager to come here – he WILL get a good pay off.

But he’s only managed seven games at Chelsea FC – you can’t change a culture overnight and Luiz Felipe was working with a team he didn’t choose.

The Chelsea managerial job is now a poison chalice – who on earth will now want that job, after the treatment of Scolari and previous managers José Mourinho and Claudio Ranieri?

Perhaps Chelsea FC owner Roman Abramovich should run the team himself!
