Had an argument with a fellow Chelsea fan offline, and I told him that the Roman model was bound to be phased out sooner than later and here is why

Money :Roman came into football at the time where the "haves" were really few and the "have not" were more. This created a natural

Separation, what this means is that Chelsea were operating on a different level financially than their fellow competitors. In todays game a Brighton or Southampton can casually spend 100mill+ in a transfer window and not flinch. Every one is Rich so the gap is closer than ever.

Talent :The talent pool we could access then due to our financial advantage can now be accessed even much earlier before peak season. Take a look at Evan Fergus /Havertz for the fee we paid, we signed an arguably less talented player. So where is the advantage? Clubs with proper

Planning are tapping into the superstar market way before the stardom happens, basically before you sign your Neymar from Barca, a club like Southampton has signed him from Santos. Crazy crazy stuff.

Coaches :Hire & fire the MO of Roman, as Mikel Obi mentioned "when he touched

down with his helicopter the manager was gone "this worked at the time because the few available class managers then prioritized winning over anything else and clubs of status attracted them. Today stability is the watchword. Why do you think Pep turned us down severally??

Stability plays a very key role in a managers success and this extends to players too. Also the constant chop and change meant that we had blow through atleast half the elite coaches available, a constant chop and change means at some point we will be left with re-hiring ex

Coaches or settling for unproven ones (that the fanbase hates so much) either way that course of action was bound to backfire. Many ofcourse will interpret this as a dig on Roman, no its not its just to show that what he was doing was unsustainable regardless of the intention.
