Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon believes there will
be no repeat of the fall out between Roman Abramovich and Jose
Mourinho this season.
The pair clashed throughout last term leaving many feeling Mourinho
may be forced out by the billionaire owner.
However, the duo reconciled their differences during the
close-season and now Kenyon is hoping to avoid a repeat this time
around.
"I'm not saying there weren't issues, there were various issues as
there are at every club," explained Kenyon.
"That has been addressed and I'm confident about next season and
that aspect of Chelsea. I don't think anyone wants a repeat of last
year."
Meanwhile, Kenyon is backing Andrei Shevchenko and Michael Ballack
to deliver for The Blues this season.
The pair were big-name additions last summer, although neither
really lit up the Premier League or lived up to their
billing.
However, Kenyon believes after adapting to life in England the
high-profile duo will begin to deliver the goods this season.
"Andrei and Mike came in on four-year contracts, not for a year and
then if you do okay we'll resign you," he continued.
"It's a four-year commitment to add value to the squad over a
period of time.
"Both of those players know they have got much more to achieve and
want to achieve much more.
"I remember having a similar conversation this time last year. It
can be easy to underestimate the settling in to English
football."
