If this happens I am will be much more optimistic about our future. It is the right move. If they are not ready to accept a lesser role at the club they should move on. Simple as that. The only thing that is worrying me is that we miss out on CL football next season which will make it difficult for us to attract top players as replacements for our departing ones. Players like Lampard, Drogba, Malouda and Cole should be playing well and leading the team week and week out for the wages they have and everyone knows it is not something they do. Also, rioting against the manager and causing dressing room war is stupid. Yes, AVB fucked up the tactics a couple of times, but then again, you can't expect any team to change their tactics and start bringing great results right away. They are professional football players who are payed large sums of money to play football, not to discuss the starting lineup or our tactics. For that, we have a manager. What have they done rioting against AVB? Our results are worse now and not they have compromised their own future at the club. I love Drogba, Lampard, Cole and the rest to bits but everything eventually comes to an end. That end is nearing.
