Part deux

Well today I have been thinking about Chelsea Football club.  What has been going on there?  On Sunday they sacked one of the most promising mangers in Europe 8 months into a 3 year deal.  Results have not been good, but apparently there was unrest in the dressing room.  Normally, when a manger comes in the players all try to impress, the so-called 'manger-effect'.  This did not seem to be the case at Chelsea, in fact it could be argued that the players played worse.  What would make a professional footballer do that?  Obviously they must have thought themselves pretty 'bomb-proof'.  Roberto di Matteo is now in charge and for the moment has a 100% win record, but it is rumoured that some of the Senior Players do not like him.  Is this a case of highly paid employees thinking that they know better than the employer?  Anyway, does anyone know what Abramovich is thinking?  As far as I can tell, he plays his cards pretty close to his chest, but surely employees claiming they have influence over the employer is not a healthy situation and is something that all Chelsea fans (I, alas, do not support them) should be very concerned about.

Thank you for reading so far.
