I don't get the appointment of AVB really. He is so young and wanted to clear out the old guard and start playing a new way, and this was always going to take some time to start working. As soon as he drops a few of the big names they revolt and go running to Abramovic.
If he wanted to revolutionize Chelski, surely he made that known from the start?
Abramovic wants to pick the team. Everyone knows that. It's his toy train set and he's hardly likely to buy the best trainset and let Pepsi Pete drive it all day while he watches.
AVB left Porto for money. Tough Shit.
