Previously at the rags he was a widely despised figure and contributed so much to why so many people hated them. In a short space of time at Chelsea he had their reputation thrashed and any goodwill towards them gone.
Yes, he signed players successfully and pulled off a few transfer coups but mostly made it harder for Chelsea in the long term transfer market. They ended up missing out on Robinho because they were playing silly buggers over the fee. Chelsea will be remember for things like getting Ballack as a Bosman (still huge money) but at the expense of turning him into a hate figure.
This week we've had a taste of what it's like to be the pantomime villain, I certainly didn't like it and don't want to see us going down that road regularly.
I want to see Manchester City the club I love became great and win things. I don't want to see us turn into Manchester U***d.
I thought it was Frank Arnesen who was behind most of the dodgy signings ...
