neel 257 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Chelsea players confront André Villas-Boas in training-ground rowhttp://www.guardian....+%28Football%29may be this is not entirely a bad news? It may dismantle our team for time beings , may be we end up with 6th or 7th. but at least this can put an end to our player power and we can get rid of few legends ?

Swedish House Mafia 508 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Whoever argues with the boss and thinks they have more power than him needs to leave, period. Whether it's Lampard or Terry. Yes, they're legends, but they're not going to run CFC and if they attempt to do that, they need to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

André Villas-Boas must break player power at Chelseahttp://www.guardian....P=ILCNETTXT3487yes. just saw it linked on the Guardian. It doesn´t take much for a newspaper to make a storm in a teacup. If a few players voiced their frustration, fair enough. Can imagine them flying off the handle when told that they played shit and that Malouda has been dropped after being told "not that good, mate" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idiot 71 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 If this is true these players should stop talkin about how much they care about CFC and we should get rid of them. They are as much as responsible for our situation as our Manager (at least) And to blame a single player is very ridiculous.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zolayes 14,489 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 just which senior players are the ones blaming the manager. Obviously Lampard springs to mind but who else Malouda? Cole ? Cech? Terry?The players should watch their own displays over the last few months...Let those without sin cast the first stone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Players should all be fined a week's wages for challenging the authority of the manager and also undermining him. Unacceptable. I bet you any amount of money it was the 'senior' egos, the same ones that cost Scolari and Ancelotti their jobs, ie. Cech, Terry, Lampard, Drogba, Cole.

francozola 2,040 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 The players should get blasted by the media. What a disgraceful lot. Instead they keep running stories on how AVB is "on borrowed time" blah blah. If they're really so 'in the know', then they should name names.

francozola 2,040 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I don't know why but I see Lampard as being a key man in this whole thing. You guys remember his body language after he was subbed a couple of times this season? At first we just shrugged it off as him being unhappy with his own performances, but after seeing how he acted against Everton, it's possible that things have escalated and it just strikes me that he's the most unhappy in our squad atm.And I'm just making a general comment, I'm not "turning on" Lamps. Maybe the Everton game was a one-off. I'm very interested to see how he performs now.Lampard was named,wasn't he?Oh yeah, you're right. But it's just one line: "Villas-Boas has also clashed with Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba" not very conclusive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulham Broadway 17,312 Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 Chelsea players confront André Villas-Boas in training-ground rowhttp://www.guardian....+%28Football%29Perhaps the most important thing in the artcle is the winding up of the court case with Berezovsky.When Mrs Justice Gloster reaches her judgement in the next week or two as to whether Abramovich has to pay £3.2bn, this will have implications on all aspects of transfers, and whether to terminate the contract of manager No 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHL 47 378 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 On the flip side of the coin, the clash could have been over that the players have been doing exactly as the Manager has been telling them - And we've all seen the results of that.The beauty of having the experience that AVB has at his disposal is that it's there to be drawn upon and used - To disregard this experience would be foolhardy, especially when choice of player options is limited. No one knows why or what happened other than those there, but put yourself in the players position and suppose the Manager was leading off in front of his Boss, would you sit there meekly and not respond, in you own work scenario what would you do? I'd make sure my point of view was heard, especially if it's your position and livelihood that's being challenged and once one person starts/breaks the ice others tend to join in.Is AVB trying to hard to do things 'his' way and ignoring help, a symptom of his own relative inexperience and insecurity?
