There's so many wrongs in this post i don't know where to start?
1, Wilkins departure was nothing to do with his contract
2, Chelsea's decline coincided with Wilkins departure, that's as clear as day
3, Abramovich's fault for sacking Wilkins and buying an out of form striker in Jan whilst insisting he plays against Ancelotti wishes.
4, As Above
5, If you stuck with Drogba and Anelka up front for the remainder season you would of done better.
Abramovich should of waited until the summer, farmed Drogba out and then got Torres, instead he panic buyed and it back fired.
Your loss is someone elses gain because Ancelotti is a good manager and has been working with his hands tied.
* I still think you'll be the biggest spenders in the summer
1. Yes, it was - among other things.
2. Wilkins departure, Ancelotti's father dying, Lampard, Essien, Drogba and Terry out also contributes.
3. I've already said, Torres was Ancelotti's main target since his first season here.
4 + 5. Its the managers job to select his squad, and he picked players out of form. He should have stuck with Drogba I agree, but Roman has nothing to do with team selection. How you can say otherwise is astonishing to me because he has never given an interview in his life and no previous coaches have claimed that he interfered with on pitch matters at all.
Again, I'm not defending the decision. I think it was wrong to let him go because so many factors were beyond his control this season. I was just pointing out why he was let go.
