Dear Roman,
You are perhaps one of the most passionate persons ever to own a football club. Your passion for Chelsea for titles and most specifically, for the Champions League is legendary. It is good to be passionate and aim for glory. The Champions League has evaded Chelsea for a long time now and it is every fan’s dream to see the Holy Grail of football at the Bridge. But it’s not easy, and sometimes when we don’t win, we just have to live with it, and move on, and hope that we do so in the next season.
Your involvement in Chelsea and your willingness to use your funds for the club has been appreciated by every fan. The money you have provided has helped Chelsea improve its standard and has helped translate good football into trophies. We are all very grateful for that. You have brought to the Bridge some of the best managers in today’s game, and with most of them with reasonable amounts of success in their short durations. Every year Chelsea hopes for Champions League success. Sometimes we fail due to poor football, sometimes due to poor refereeing and sometimes due to plain bad luck. But always, you take out your wrath on your poor manager. It’s become a joke! We know your passion and high hopes, but sometimes, it blinds your sense of thinking and rationale.

Casualty of the Roman Empire: Andre Villas-Boas
Chelsea fans are perhaps one of the most patient set of fans in the EPL. We never boo or criticize a player even when he’s misfiring. But sadly, our owner has absolutely no patience and is blinded by his desire to see trophies every season. You sacked 'The Special One' due to personal issues. You sacked Carlo Ancelotti after he won Chelsea's first ever domestic Double in his first season and was runner-up in the league in his second year. Most clubs would die for a manager with such a record in the first 2 seasons. You sacked Avram Grant and Luis Felipe Scolari without even giving them 1 full season. And now you sacked the young tactician, AVB. And none of your sackings and appointments is helping Chelsea’s cause for financial fair play.
Football managers need time, support and patience. Look at Man City this season. Roberto Mancini is making them work wonders AFTER the owners trusted him for 2 seasons. The legendary SAF won NOTHING in his first few seasons at the Old Trafford. Still the owners persisted with him. Look where Man Utd is today. You need to give your managers time. Each manager has his own tactics, needs his own time to settle. You have proven by spending millions on AVB that he is a bright prospect, someone who could be brilliant for the long term. Yet, you give him less than a season to show his worth. He is a young manager, barely older than some of his players, at one of the world’s biggest clubs. He will take time to settle, but still you sack him. Why, Roman? Why?
Is This The Message Chelsea Fans Have For Abramovich?
A good team needs a good manager, and a steady approach to the game. How will you ever get that consistency if you have 6 different managers in 6 seasons! You need to realize that it is way tougher to MANAGE football players than it is to spend millions on them! To manage successful and established stars is not an easy task. You need to realize this. This needs commitment, which you also have, and patience which, sadly, you lack.
What would you rather prefer? Chelsea qualifying for the Champions League next season and doing squat or Chelsea playing the Europa league for one season, getting reorganized and balanced and then win, say, 4 Champions League titles in the next 10 years? You need to stick with one manager and give him the time he needs to settle down and perform. Otherwise, you can buy all the Torreses and Matas in the world, and still not win the CL. It’s a simple choice. It’s your choice. Please be patient in the future. You owe it to the players, to the team, and lastly, to the ever so patient fans. Think wisely. We know you can do it.
Sincerely,
A tired yet optimistic fan.
