I’ve seen numerous criticism for John Obi Mikel, however I’ve additionally seen different followers fully backing him and admire the very fact he’s on the market within the public eye with a big voice, combating the great combat for our membership.
I can see why Mikel annoys individuals. A few of his opinions are wild, erratic, and excessive. Generally he goes approach excessive and his opinions contradict his earlier views.
One minute he’s assembly with the house owners and bigging them up, the following minute he’s slating them for a 60 minute Podcast! One minute he’s slating Nico Jackson, the following he’s telling us to again the gamers. I fully see all this and persons are proper to name it out.
In fact, anybody with a Podcast is there for it to generate income with the odd exception that they may simply get pleasure from it as a passion. So in fact the wilder the opinions then the extra listens it’s going to get, naturally.
However Mikel is actually simply being Mikel. I’ve spoken to a few individuals who know Mikel a lot better than all of us do that week they usually have assured me that is simply how he’s. He’s emotional, typically overly emotional, however he’s passionate and is actually nonetheless simply one in every of Chelsea’s largest followers. He deeply cares concerning the state of the membership. He’s completely not performing right here when he speaks, that’s actually simply how he’s! He’s eccentric and is an actual character who articulates his opinions with swearing, ardour and feelings.
However sure, I do perceive why some discover him annoying.
For me, I’m happy that he’s on the market being such a excessive profile one that performed for the membership and will get his voice heard on a world scale. A few of his factors are spot on and should be mentioned. For me, he’s combating our combat for us. All of us wish to change the mannequin on the very least, Mikel making a few of our opinions heard is just a great factor.
Listed here are a few of the issues he’s mentioned this week which for me are spot on, and it’s not even a debate (for my part):
“The strain ought to at all times be on the house owners. It’s about profitable trophies. In the event you purchase Chelsea Soccer Membership and assume you’re solely right here to make revenue, you may f**okay off. The extra the followers get pissed off, you by no means know what might occur.”
“The recruitment course of has been actually poor. The January window they weakened the squad! We went from a place of depth to a place of weak point!”
“2 wins in 9? Roman would’ve landed the helicopter and the supervisor would’ve been gone. I’m not calling for the sacking, however it’s disaster, it’s not proper what’s occurring at this membership.”
“It’s gonna be a f’ing catastrophe if we don’t end in champions league place. I hate what the supervisor has mentioned, who the f instructed you that? Are you f’ing kidding me? That is Chelsea Soccer Membership.
“I can’t simply keep silent, In the event you’re a Chelsea fan, don’t settle for what’s occurring is true, it’s not, your voice is required, our voice is required.”
While some individuals discover his ardour an excessive amount of, I feel the factors he has made listed below are spot on. Some don’t just like the swearing however for me, I typically prefer to articulate myself like that too. Generally it’s the one approach.
I’m not listening to that ‘Chelsea has modified and we aren’t Chelsea anymore.’ We all know that, we all know we aren’t the identical membership. However why ought to we let requirements drop simply because we’ve got totally different house owners? They knew the membership they have been shopping for, it wasn’t Accrington Stanley was it!? The one approach requirements drop is that if individuals (followers and people on the membership) enable it to. There’s completely no purpose to let requirements drop simply because ‘soccer has modified’ or that is ‘not the identical Chelsea’ anymore. Make it the identical then! It’s actually really easy to get Chelsea difficult once more, however they’re solely all in favour of uncooked prospects (who will make them cash in the event that they’re no good) and being Brighton. I do agree that we have to realise this lot aren’t Roman Abramovich and he was one in every of a sort. However there’s completely no purpose that we shouldn’t be aiming as excessive as Roman and setting excessive requirements as a membership.
