They shouldn't have posted their congratulations publicly. It serves no purpose other than to aggravate supporters, because let's face it, neither player is likely to have Chelsea fans/players following them anyway.
They should have offered congratulations privately, and it begs the question on why they were so quick to jump in with the comments anyway. I'd like to think that most of our players were a wreck after we missed out on CL football, not bumming up another team on a public domain.
Still, I think this signals the end of Modric's stay at the club. He made it clear last season that he wanted progression, and although we don't know what happened behind the scenes, we have all speculated that there was a gentleman's agreement that he could leave should we miss out on CL. Whether us finishing 4th is a loophole or not, who can tell.
Honestly, I am devastated that we are missing out again. I think this will be a huge transitional period for us and how we deal with it may determine the rest of the decade. I too believe Harry has taken us as far as he can, and before we embark on a rebuilding phase in our history, I would like to secure a younger, hungrier manager and tie them down to minimum 5 year contract (no negotiations) and try and get the best deal possible for Modric and potentially Gareth Bale.
One thing is for sure; we aren't going to be short on money. So much relies on the way we spend it though, which is the other reason I think Harry should go.
