It's amazing how the Sun know exactly what was said behind closed doors. They didn't even bother with a "a source told The Sun"...they just went for it.

The coverage Sky are giving to the Chelsea old boys club is cringe worthy. AVB has seen they're not up to much cop and wants to try something different, big deal. He didn't sign Torres either so it's not his fault he's been lumbered with a 50m burden on his back.
Ray Wilkins was on SSN, saying they miss the best leader in the country, doesn't understand why Lampard and Essien didn't start and didn't understand why Ashley didn't start, as he is one of the best leftbacks in the world. :lol:
The Chelsea old boys are as unprofesssional as it gets. This is the problem Real Madrid used to have with Raul basically calling the shots.
He's probably a very talented manager but so long as the old guard stay, and have that influence over the club he (and Chelsea) will never move forward. He needs to bite the bullet and get rid of the old guard, it's the only way. But it will probably never happen. They'll all still be there in some form when they're 70.
I don't mind him on the whole. Pressure over his fee, the hype, most of the players; everything is against him. It was probably unwise to take the job, especially if Roman doesn't back him. Stupid beard though. And it's always nice to see Chelsea stutter, even if the media show unconcealed bias in favour of our good ol' English lads against that nasty Vilash-Boash.
