Roberto Mancini stat that proves Chelsea were WRONG to sack AVB

If you thought Andre Villas-Boas had it coming at Chelsea, take a quick look at Roberto Mancini's record when he first joined Man City. It proves that patience really can be a virtue in football.

The Italian was unpopular with Shaun Wright-Phillips, Craig Bellamy, Roque Santa-Cruz and Robinho, but rather than support those players and get rid of the manager like Abramovich has done at Chelsea, the owners at Man City allowed Mancini to bring in his own players, and just look where they are now: top of the Premier League, playing the most exciting football in England.

What exactly do you think makes Chelsea such a shambles? Let us know by leaving a comment below...
