Roberto Di Matteo is sacked – 21st November 2012

Winning trophies is not guarantee of future success, but it should at least grant the manager at the helm a period of leeway given what they have just achieved….but not at Chelsea. Only at Stamford Bridge, under the tyrannical rule or owner Roman Abramovich is the sacking of the man who had just led the club to their first ever Champions League triumph barely six months later possible. When you sell your soul to the devil, don’t be surprised when he treats it with disdain.
