DROG UNLEASHED ... Didier Drogba
DIDIER DROGBA almost got driven out of Chelsea by a personal feud with ex-boss Big Phil Scolari.
The Ivory Coast striker was an £18million target for Manchester City and Inter Milan in January. But the Blues board blocked the deal and axed Scolari instead.
Drogba’s agent Thierno Seydi said: “Didier sitting on the bench was due to two men who couldn’t work together. One had to go and Chelsea parted with Scolari.”
GUUS HIDDINK has become a Drog addict.
Chelsea’s Dutch boss has got moody striker Didier Drogba smoking again and his winner kept the Blues just about hanging on to Manchester United’s coat-tails in the title race.
The hitman scored the goal that beat Juventus in the Champions League last week.

Drogba Was Ready To Leave Chelsea For Manchester City - Agent
The Ivorian was all set to depart Stamford Bridge in January, according to his agent, who would also like the player to turn into an 'African Platini' when he retires...
Didier Drogba was on the verge of leaving Chelsea in January, his agent has intimated, and only didn't do so, supposedly, because the Stamford Bridge directors made a choice between the Ivorian and coach Luiz Felipe Scolari, with the Brazilian losing out because of Drogba bringing 'history' to the club in recent seasons.
"Since last year, there have been two firm offers: Inter and Manchester City, who offered me a golden deal," the player's agent, Senegalese Thierno Seydi, is reported by Setanta Sports as telling L’Observateur.
"I was okay, so was Didier, but Chelsea’s directors did say 'no'. They refused a €20 million transfer (£18 million) plus a 30-year-old player. It proves how much they trust Didier. And the president [Abramovich] was right to keep Didier because the team are winning again since he’s back in.
"That’s simple, the four biggest clubs in the world are interested in him (laughs) but I won’t say more. That’s for sure.
"Didier is one of the 10 best-paid players in the world, but humility is part of his personality. I want him to become an African Michel Platini when his career is over, a decision taker."
Seydi also hinted that the problems between Scolari and Drogba, seemingly a running sore that helped poison Chelsea's season, was purely personal and had little to do with tactics.
"The fact that he was told to sit on the bench had nothing to do with sport, it was just a problem between two men that couldn’t work together," he explained.
"One had to go and Chelsea decided to part ways with Scolari. They literally said that Didier made history at the club, that he could still bring a lot to the team, so they decided to let the coach go and to keep Didier."
