They will be competitive which is what Petr wants, I assume. Villa, Palace and West Ham wouldn't be able to meet his wage demands and that is a huge step down and very disrespectful. If my boss asks me not to go to a rival after firing me, he can go fuck himself. You know why? Cause they didn't care what I did enough to keep me. If my old companies rival can pay as much, put me in the same position, and is comfortable for me i would go there. Poor analogy, but still. The club doesn't owe Petr and Petr doesn't owe the club. But, without him who knows what would have happened to CFC after 2012. Him and DD especially are 2 of the 3 most important figures in the history of the club. The least they could do is honor his wish. It's not like they're giving them Hazard or something. Cech will not carry them to the title.
