TTT - // I agree with sunk, he only got the job at Chelski because Abramovich was seduced by his self publicity. The previous manager did pretty well but still got fired even though he was 2nd because Abramovich was besoted. //
Stoke City had a period like that with Nathan Jones - his press conferences were always wonderful, he sounded like they were going to win everything. They just stopped winning games, and he was sacked.
A friend and I were talking - we both worked for BT, and have seen this many times with new managers who came in - they talked the talk, and their initial interviews must have brought tears to the eyes of their interview panel. But when it came down to doing the job, talk was all they had, and talks don't cut it - results do.
