Chelsea: 6 Ways for Blue Boss To Avoid the Axe
Chelsea Football Club has endured pain in the last few months since the departure of assistant manager Ray Wilkins. All hopes were lost for the Blues when they suffered their worst run since 15 years ago. Although Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich slapped £50mil on Liverpool’s desk for Fernando Torres, the Spaniard looked toothless when he encountered his former club two weeks back. Two days ago, Chelsea lost to Everton in the FA Cup. It seems that Carlo Ancelotti is at the brink of losing his job. There are, however, ways of wonders that can revive the Champions to their best form once again.
Here are 6 ways that the gaffer has to consider:
Revive Fernando Torres
1 of 6
Since his arrival, the wonders and magic that many Chelsea fans thought he would regurgitate the minute he steps into the pitch hasn't arrive. Since then, fans from all around the world have started labeling the striker as a flop. I personally think that he needs time. Ancelotti has to discover new ways of training, tactics and everything that might bring back Torres to his stunning form. Dealing with him first may be the start of something new for Chelsea. If Torres can combine his ability with the other strikers such as Didier Drogba, then they are on the right track. Some fans might suggest that his gold hair might bring back his golden days although it would look awful with his new blue shirt (a funny way of thinking).
Win the Champions League

The end of the season is near and Chelsea have failed to win the Community Shield, The Carling Cup and The FA Cup. While Ancelotti has admitted defeat in the Premier League title race, the Champions League is the only competition to fight for. Unless Chelsea buck up now, they aren't going to win anything at all and Ancelotti will face the axe by the end of the season. Winning the Champions League will give them a big boost for the next season. It may seem impossible with their current form, but then again, impossible is nothing.
Sell the Oldies

The team needs a new look. Therefore I might suggest selling unused players would be the key to reform Chelsea. Although Drogba is over 30 years old, I think he might have a few trick up his sleeves and will last him at least two more seasons. Players that should be going are such as Florent Malouda, Paulo Ferriera, and Ross Turnbull. These players have either reached 30 years of age or they are not performing well for the team and that is why they need to go. The money may come in handy for spending on other young and talented players.
Bring Back Our Players!

On loan players should be brought back by the end of the season. Players such as Sturridge, Kakuta and Bruma could bolster the squad next season. They need to be given first team action on a regular basis in order for their talents to flow. While Kakuta is still taking his time to blend in at Fulham FC, Sturridge has performed tremendously for Bolton scoring 3 goals in 3 games. These young players could be the future of Chelsea FC.
A new Assistant Manager!

Since Ray Wilkins left, Ancelotti looked as though he has lost his true love. His plans and tactics have not worked out well without Wilkins and the whole Chelsea squad seems to be missing something. In order to revive Chelsea, Abramovich has to find a suitable replacement where Ancelotti will find it easier to make crucial tactics and decisions in the future. Rumours has it that Guus Hiddick will return to the Bridge to take up the post. A marvelous choice in my opinion.
Spend More!

The January transfer window has shown that Roman Abramovich is not afraid to spend as he splashed out £50million for Torres and £25mil for David Luiz and in no doubt he will do it again in the summer. The best buy would be the long targeted Neymar Da Silva. The Santos striker has been targeted by Chelsea for almost a year now and I believe soon Chelsea will have him in a blue shirt. Anderlecht sensation Romelu Lukaku is still a target for the Blues and will be a hit if he joins Chelsea FC. Although rumour has it that Cesc Fabregas is also a Chelsea target, many believe it would be quite impossible as Fabregas has shouted loyalty to Arsenal FC. But who knows, after losing the Carling Cup to Birmingam, blasted out of the Champions League by Barcelona, dropping out of the FA Cup by Manchester United and soon to end up second place in the Barclays Premier League, Fabregas could reconsider his future in England. After all, Torres shouted loyalty to Liverpool last season and look where he is now.
