God Chelsea is sooo stupid. They really aren't a well-run club. Sure they're going to win plenty because they have so much money and have great players but they certainly aren't efficient or smart about this. What kind of club sacks their manager for one season without trophies when he won them their first league double the season before. When this season's failure was caused by interference from the ownership: the firing of an influential coach and an unwanted 50 million quid signing who is 28, has had a lot of injuries (which may have affected his pace, which his game depends upon) that doesn't fit at all into the team as it is (meaning if they want him to succeed they have to completely restructure it). So they blame the manager and sack him. If they didn't have a bottomless pit of money they'd sink into oblivion.
Torres is 27 and Ancelotti wanted him and when Torres joined we played better. Our problems were before he joined when we were dropping points left, right and centre.
