Chelsea have been here before, Joe Cole has been here before and most people think they know the script already. The talented, charismatic manager has been shunted out and the new saviour is in. The stories of discontent are rife but the excitement of a brave new world is still prominent.
For Cole, he saw the first example of this at modern-day Chelsea. The former Blues midfielder played in the final match under Jose Mourinho's first spell and witnessed the manager that had taken Chelsea from Champions League qualification to back-to-back emphatic title wins, to leaving the club.
Other players in the group were reportedly in tears when Mourinho left the club. Cole had been a Chelsea player for just over four years and Mourinho had made him into one of the best creators in the country.
