Blues boss resigns days after signing!
Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti yesterday resigned days after signing a deal at Stamford Bridge. He and Abramovich went into the board room on the 7/7/2009 at around 10:00AM regarding an issue. Sources are yet to know the full extent of Ancelotti's concerns, but believe it has something to do with the relationship Abramovich has with Ancelotti and the way the club is run.
Hours later, approximately 12:00PM, Ancelotti left the meeting with the owner and entered his car to leave, possibly the airport where there has been links to a move back to Italy and Milan. Around 3:00PM, sources understood a meeting was being taken in the board room with Abramovich with the new possible manager of Chelsea Football Club. An hour later, Ray Wilkins walked out with Abramovich. It has been known that Wilkins was given the opirtunity for a promotion, and become the new manager of Chelsea, but Ray Wilkins declined the offer, suggesting that a young man named Stuart Regan should become the successor to guide the club to lifting trophies over the coming year(s).
At 8:00PM the same night, news reports were flying all over the country and capital regarding who the new manager of Chelsea has become. Approximately 8:12PM, Stuart Regan, a British manager from West London has become the new manager of the London team, putting pen to paper on a 2 year deal worth £5 million per annum.

Cole causes horrific injury on Terry during training!
Ashley Cole dived in heavily today during training on skipper John Terry, causing Chelsea to be without their captain for up to 6 months with a horrific leg brake (lower leg). Terry was seen to on the scene by paramedics which followed by an emergency trip to the nearest hospital.
Ashley Cole immediately got up to see Terry on the floor in extreme agony, to apologise and flag for attention. Cole was asked by reporters about the incident to which he replied with huge regret and sympathy. After the training session, the whole team went down to see him, including Regan and Abramovich. Terry is expected to be out of the season til Christmas, being treated by specialists during the time and a possible operation to bring his leg to better standards.
What did Regan have to say?
During an interview about the injury, Regan was asked about his thoughts,
"All our thoughts are with John and he will be sorely missed in training and for the first half of the season. He seems to be in a lot of pain, but is in high spirits in his hospital bed, and we hope for a speedy recovery"
Stuart expressed his emotion for the loss of Terry.
"John will be treated over the 6 months by a specialist and will be on medication to relieve the pain. John is expected to be back at training before Christmas and playing in a boxing day reserve game. We hope he will resume with the clubs captaincy after the new year."
