Very ruthless action by the owner, think he saw di Matteo as a minion rather than a leader which is a shame. Wonder if the alleged player power at Chelsea played a part again?
I don't think it's got anything to do with the players, Abramovich didn't want to appoint him in the first place.
More than likely, seems pretty callous to treat the guy like that as was said, on the touchline and he was going to get fired regardless.
Well if he's sorted his drinking out Gazza would at least bring a bit of lightheartedness to the dressing room. Not sure about his tactical brain however.
i could. do you think they'd go with that? seems a bit of an imposition making me travel to london most days. i have been to russia twice, if that helps.
he should have been treat like PB and left to watch Chelski sink and then put on gardening leave when its too late to make an effective change
A few 'experts' reckon they could appoint Rafa Benitez until next summer. Why not, I suppose. It will give Liverpool fans something to talk about.!
In the Mail, but a decent piece all the same... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...oman-Abramovich-Inside-story-Neil-Ashton.html
2 Youth Cups, 2 community shields, 2 league cups, 4 FA cups, 3 league titles, 1 champions league cup. I don't think Abramovich is doing too bad in the way he runs things!
