Chelsea have some legends playing right now. Unfortunately, they don't necessarily deserve the playing time they've received in the past. Andre Villas-Boas seems to understand that, but he hasn't communicated that well with the players. Consequently, there has been some unrest in the locker room, and there are stories of players trying to undermine AVB. Whether those stories are true or not is unimportant. The important part is how the club is responding. Villas-Boas has seemingly let the players run the team this year, and it hasn't worked out well. After a full year, it will be clear that he's in charge. He will find roles for the active legends, and they will (hopefully) accept their roles. Once they do, Chelsea will be able to move into the future without disrespecting the past.
