Player power runs that club, more than any other around. It's been that way since Mourinho left the first time. Can't stand the entitlement within that club... glad they lost

Might want to lay it against Sarri being sacked.

Was about to post something similar. In most clubs, if a player did something like that, the Captain and other senior players would have been in there to speak to the player and get him off the pitch. Apart from Luis, not a single Chelsea player seemed to care about what was happening.

I thought the same. I've pretty much stopped watching motd, and watch far fewer live games nowadays. All the Sky/BT hyperbole, the wages, transfer fees and subsequent power (not to mention egos) the players have is killing the romance of the game. All the while grass roots football is dying (see 'Ferring FC...' thread).
As you said, tonight was pathetic
This is what I keep thinking.
Imagine being the person to cross that amount off the asset sheet?
They are clearly keeping him and spinning the whole affair as a misunderstanding.
Good point. One minute he’s rolling around in apparent agony, next he’s fighting fit.

Is that good odds as I dont understand them I am, old fashioned like 10-1 13-8 etc.
Bet £10 get £37.50 back
Not that many, I’d guess. But I’d bet any money you like that a lot more would if they were being recorded and video’d!

Interesting to see where is goes from from here.
Sarri = Surely his post match comments were the starting point on negotiations for his payout. He'll be gone in the next few days
Kepa = With Sarri saying in was a misunderstanding, it means that it's harder to discipline him. But Chelsea know this is disastrous PR for them and will surely feel the need to make some sort of public point. An internal 5 game ban most likely.
Chelsea = In the cold light of day, they know they can't replace Kepa and that Caballero is a weak understudy.
The rest of the Chelsea Squad = They will get their wish of a new manager. They also know that with the transfer ban in place, they have no need to listen to any instruction they don't want to
Hazard = Must now know that it's time for him to make sure that summer transfer happens.

1. In the real world would be sacked for gross misconduct.
2. In the world of football Chelsea with the gun already cocked can now fire the manager with the argument that he has lost the dressing room. In reality players have too much power and as previous posts have stated its not easy to sack a £70m asset.

A big fine and a spell out of the team for his arrogance. Should never undermine the manager

They just held manchester city for 120 minutes, with hardly any chances created. Yeah i'd say thats an improvement from 6-0. They looked very very solid defensively today. Time to take your goggles off.

What does his world cup performance have to do with his knack for saving penalties? He wasn't brought on to keep for 90 minutes he was brought on to save penalties like these ones.
