Chelsea were an irrelevance. They were on a level with QPR, Wimbledon and Crystal Palace in their own town. Then, they got some ambition from Glenn Hoddle and Matthew Harding, they spruced the place up a bit, and got the confidence to go out into Europe, for names like Gullit and Vialli. And it made them winners again. ____________________________________________________ＨＥＬＰ， ＧＥＴ Ａ ＶＰＮGo to https://piavpn.com/WIF to get 83% off Private Internet Access with 4 months free!____________________________________________________ＭＹ ＬＩＮＫＳCheck out our football quiz channel:https://www.youtube.com/@WhatIfQuiz3417Or our old selection of documentaries and alternate football universes: https://www.youtube.com/@WhatIfArchives3417Oh, and I write about football sometimes here: https://medium.com/@jdoyle9293____________________________________________________ＴＩＭＥＳＴＡＭＰＳ ＆ ＲＥＦＥＲＥＮＣＥＳ00:00 – Introduction00:45 – Hoddle06:40 – Gullit13:55 – Vialli21:45 – AftermathReferences:The Blizzard (Issue 19)Chelsea FC: The Official Biography (Rick Glanvill)Out of the Blue (Gary Thacker)Pound Land: The Battle for Stamford Bridge (TNT Sports)Rhapsody in Blue (Neil Fitzsimon)______________________________________________________ＡＢＯＵＴ ＴＨＥ ＣＨＡＮＮＥＬWhat if Football is YouTube's only football magazine, with monthly issues of five videos each month on a topic as far back as the dominant Aston Villa team of the 1890s, as recently as Napoli's stunning 2023 Scudetto winning team, as obvious as Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo and their litany of trophies, as obscure as Dynamo Moscow's passovotchka football of the 40s.
