That was the question asked on our Chelsea web site yesterday. Are Chelsea too broke to fire
Ancelotti? This is what the article said. Do you agree or disagree?
Everything Chelsea does these days seems to revolve around saving money and I wonder if the
reason that Carlo Ancelotti is still the Chelsea manager is because the club does not have the
£10m it would take to fire him?
There is this report in the Sunday People this morning that Roman Abramovich will offer Avram Grant
a return to Chelsea as Director of Football if he is sacked by West Ham.
Key points of the article state:
Israeli Grant fell out with Abramovich when he was sacked just days after Chelsea's
penalty shoot-out heartbreak in Moscow but the pair quickly patched up their differences and could
work together again.
Rumours are rife that Andriy Shevchenko could make a sensational return to Stamford Bridge as part
of the coaching staff or backroom team as Roman Abramovich continues to shake things up to freshen
things up at the club.
Sheva has strong links with both Abramovich and Carlo Ancelotti and is seen as an ideal person to
bring into the club.
Now it may be complete rubbish and just word of mouth that has turned into Chinese Whispers, but
there is a rumour that is going around that Roman Abramovich will cut his ties with Chelsea and
sell up at the end of the season and look to re-invest his money in Zenit St Petersburg in
Russia.
Well all know and have seen Roman's commitment and joy at Russia being awarded the World Cup, and
it would make sense for him to look to be far more involved there but I just wonder if this really
is the case and he will sell.
Carlo has spoken of Roman Abramovich and the fact that he isn't happy with Chelsea's run of form,
but still has his total support. He said:
"I spoke with Roman. He is not happy. He knows the difficulty of the results and has
asked us to look forward and try to beat Blackburn. I spoke with him over the phone.
This article in the Star this morning quoted a "source" close to the player himself more or less
confirms what we all have been thinking about Chelsea's transfer policy as it stands these days.
Carlo doesn't really have a say.
This so called "source" is quoted as saying:
When Steven met Ancelotti he said very little and did not seem that bothered if he
signed or not.
Ladies, gentlemen, those not of this realm,
I'd like to take this time to make an introduction, a most triumphant one. No, unfortunately
he's not from San Dimas. He does, however, hail from California the City of Angels, in fact.
Jack. Devin.
This fine man has been following The CO on the hush for a while.
I nearly actually spluttered my cornflakes all over the screen this morning when I can across the
most ridiculous Arsenal rumour ever invented. Of course it's from the News of the World... The
story goes that Andrei Arshavin is very unhappy at Arsenal, and his form has dropped even further
since he has been relegated to [.
As reported here last night we all became immediately aware of Chelsea's second attempt to sign
Fernando Torres. A reported bid (although at the time of writing this article not confirmed by
Chelsea) of around £40m has been turned down by Liverpool.
As you will imagine the press, media sites and blog sites (including mine of course) were quick to
cover the story and have their own individual take on things, but there is one article tonight that
appears here in the Telegraph that has got me thinking as they state that our new bid for the
Spaniard is an "Act of desperation!
