Big Phil will flop at Chelsea (Ian Wright) - The Sun 02/07/08

WRIGHT ON! Since the grand fiasco of €uro 2004, when Portugal
failed to beat Greece, not once but twice, I started to question the
ability of this guy. Unfortunately the press in my country,
so feckless and back-slappers as they are, will hail any
failure that comes along, provided he's foreign or has a
foreign accent. Even today when the only testimony of his
work is failure after failure I only ever heard a portuguese
journalist with the guts to say in public what he really
brought to portuguese football... embarassment and failure!
With the talent at his disposal, from Figo, Rui Costa and
more recently Ronaldo and several others, Scolari never
managed to build a team. Whoever watched all Portugal's
qualifying games for €uro2008 will testify that the man is a
charlatan. Portugal struggled against some of the poorest
opposition in Europe and only just managed to qualify in the
last game. This man came into Europe riding on a World
Championship with Brazil in 2002. But then again anyone
with that team could have won. Why doesn't he try to do
something about the current Brazil team? That would be a
challenge... I'm looking forward to his press conferences. His
customary buffoonery will not work over here! Chelsea fans
are in for a (Big Phil) shock. Will he be gone before or just after
Christmas? ...that's not such a big question is it? - Joe Tooga
