Allardyce maintains once the Blues are back to winning ways, the boo-boys will soon be appeased. He continued: "At Chelsea, like any other club, it is all about winning. I am sure once Rafa starts winning, then that will change, when the team starts winning then supporters get behind everybody. "It takes time to adjust to the ideas of a new coaching regime, that is always the case. "Over the last few years, Chelsea players have been used to it because they have had a quite a few changes."
