Could this have been the reason

Post by Ollar »

Could this story have been the ultimate reason behind the sack of the most controversial coach of this generation?

But ultimately, you just needed to contrast the match at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday evening with that at Ashburton Grove 24 hours later. Nearly 60,000 tickets sold (although a god number of no shows amongst the season ticket holders, but there were comfortably double the number of physical attendees than had watched Chelsea. Some flowing, expansive football of the type you hope to see if you’ve shelled out at least £32 for a cheap seat. And goals.

There have been a number of stories over the years about Roman Abramovich’s desire to either move his club to a new stadium or significantly increase the capacity at Stamford Bridge (although sitting tenant Ken Bates could prove an immovable obstacle there!)

However, if the Bridge looked a bit embarrassing with 17,000 empty seats, upping the number of unfilled places is hardly going to improve the club’s image.

I conclude yhat itz not all about buyiong stars and not engaging them all...anyway, itz a pity that Morhinho left Stamford, but he has left a mark to enlish premiership, either we like it or not
