Drogba, Deco & Bosingwa Have Differing Opinions After Scolari's Chelsea Departure
A trio of Chelsea stars have reacted to Scolari's sacking...
The Mirror has claimed that Luiz Felipe Scolari was sacked because the Chelsea players wanted him thrown out.
Long-serving pair John Terry, the skipper, and Frank Lampard sparked the revolt when they started slamming Scolari's training methods.
Stopper Terry never really eased up on his frank assessments and numerous other problems, including favouritism - mainly involving Deco - behind-the-scenes arguments about transfers and the Nicolas Anelka versus. Didier Drogba debate were all nails in the gaffer's coffin, as positive results failed to come naturally or regularly enough.
However, Ivorian hitman Drogba has moved quickly to play down such rumblings, instead focussing on poor form. He told the tabloid, "Results haven’t been the best, but we had time to put things right and enough fighting qualities [to do so].
"Our bad results, though, have been decisive. "I didn’t know much about the sacking. No-one was talking about this happening and the club never spoke to the players."
Scolari's alleged 'Golden Boy', Deco, added grimly in The Star, "I was shocked when I heard the news. The reason I came to Chelsea was to play for Scolari.
"Scolari is a good coach and he should have been given more time to get the project right."
Full-back Jose Bosingwa admitted that the boss wasn't happy in the final days.
"I’ve noticed a difference in Scolari," he noted. "He's been without the usual smile on his face.
"It's just the same here as in any country with managers being sacked. I didn't think it was like this in England before I came." -
He is really a lousy coach!
I think R.A is right to sack him.
-
lolx?
I think Chelsea should sell Drogba too -
Its a matter of time Deco, Drogba, Anelka will be sold
Well..its true that Deco is Scholari's golden boy.

Its not right to say he's a lousy coach, remember, he won a world cup. Its just that his style is different from Chelsea's. And he did not have the time nor the money to build up a team suited to it -
Deco left in disbelief over Scolari's sacking at Stamford Bridge
Deco : 'I rejected a lot of other offers to join them.'
Chelsea playmaker Deco has admitted he only joined the club because Luiz Felipe Scolari was the manager.
The Brazilian-born Portugal international signed from Barcelona for £8million last summer, but has failed to reproduce the performances that made him one of the most dangerous players in Europe during his time in La Liga and at Porto.The 31-year-old has struggled to adapt to the pace and power of the Premier League and faces an uncertain future following Chelsea's surprise decision to axe Scolari.
'I was shocked when I heard the news, I almost could not believe it,' said Deco.
'The reason I came to Chelsea was to play for Scolari. He explained the ambitious project they had here and that's why I decided to sign.
'I rejected a lot of other offers to join them.'

How to drop? He still got 2.5 yrs of his contract to go...
Lets see, if he gets around S$225,000 a week, One month almost S$900,000 lor...
Tampines Rovers pay him... Lets say lah, highest paid ASS League player at S$8,000 a month... lol... Then Chelsea must make up the difference of S$892,000 lor every month? Or about S$ 223,000 every week, or $99,000 pounds lor... lol
That's why I say, small toe also cannot afford...
He and Lampard made for life liao... Lampard just started on his $150k 5 yrs only and he is already 30 or 31... No horse to run liao...
-
they shouldnt have offered deco and ballack such a long contract.
of course, RA has himself to blame.
-
U all forgot ahh???
At the beginning of the season Fergie said it was gonna be tough for Chelsea to challenge because their main players are already 30 years above. See what happened???
Fergie was right!!!
-
oh...
1 set of Chelsea makeover PLEASE!
-
I think Ballack's contract is about to end... I think he is into his final year... So its up to Chelsea if they still want to offer him another contract...
Its Lampard's contract that is worrying... 5 yrs is a very long time for someone his age and somemore highest paid at $150k per week... I remember Roman and Kenyon didn't want to give him a 5 yrs & $150k but Scolari persuaded them to.
This one will be painful... Cos in another yr or two time, we may see Lampard sitting on the bench getting $150k doing very little. And the side effect could be the club won't buy too many extra younger players cos they still have this $150k wage to add in to their yearly wage bill...
