Lots of chit chat about Rafa taking over, i.e. on a plane right now from Abu Dhabi.
Lets just consider the issues.
1: Roman wants Pep Guardiola first and foremost.
2: Does he think Pep can walk in, wave a magic wand and have you playing like his Barca side ? lets remember the bulk of that Barca team have played with each other since they were aged 11-12, It's Highly unlikely he'll have Cfc, playing like Barca within 6 months imo.
3: On the Rafa Rumours - he hardly plays the style of football Roman wants, so will he be part time, cant see Rafa accepting a 7 month contract.
4: Rafa comes in as he's the only person capable of making Torres smile and play well ? Torres is still the jewel in the crown as far as Roman is concerned and he wont admit defeat on a £50m signing.

I say being Kenny Dalglish in to replace Di Matteo. He can **** up two "supposed" title contenders in two years then 
In all seriousness though, it was the wrong decision by the dirty Russian

I am actually beginning to feel sorry for the Chelsea fans, their club being made to look a complete laughing stock, again and again.
And now the Fat Spanish Waiter! you couldn't make it up.

Was just reminded of this;
Rafa Benitez (2007): We don't need to give away stupid plastic flags to our fans to wave, our supporters are always there with their hearts and that is all we need. Its the passion of the fans that helps us to win matches, not flags. Chelsea fans lack passion.
Welcome to Stamford Bridge.

So the clubs in crisis. You have a racist capt who can't keep it in his pant and the way forwards is to boo the new manager and his pet toy who happens to be your £50,000,000 striker.
It gets better and better. Chelski truly are the club that keep giving.
Here's a tip. Boo RA. He's the ****tard that has made you a laughing stock.

The Police are wise enough to know the full story, FA to follow suit within a week ? Most probably

Mikel should get a hefty ban and Chelsea should be fined for this farce, and get Roman to issue a public apology while he's at it.

But I am so pleased this has panned out as most expected, Chelsea really have a lot to answer for.

Seeing as how limp-wristed the FA were with Terry, I doubt it'll be hefty but a ban may be forthcoming; clicky.

On the greatest night in the clubs history...what was Torres doing....moaning to the media about only playing 6 mins and saying he wanted to leave.
He wouldn't play for Ancelotti,AVB or De Matteo but if you believe the media happy to play for Benitez...what does that say about him as a player.
Oh yeah Luiz Suárez is also a racist.....don't forget that
