To clarify, what chris is saying and what most (non chelsea) fans think is
that Chelsea have bought 200 million pounds worth of players over 2 seasons,
and over 30 players in total (i think) which is WHY they have any hope.
Teams like Real and Bayern are the market leader in their countries Renowned
for spending big on the right player, but no where do they basically go out
and purchase a whole new starting XI if they dont win one season.
Chelsea didn't have the pedigree of championships to live up to for Ranieri
to have been sacked the previous season, he did nothing wrong.
Most teams keep a core of 8 players in the starting XI and just introduce 1
or 2 new players to the starting XI a season so that people know where
eachother are on the pitch, (i.e. Man U and Arsenal)
