Chelsea

I can't believe what happened there. The Chelsea keeper Kepa refused to be subbed off so the manager was forced to back down and cancel the substitution. Anyone seen that before?

[Budgem]

Never seen it before Cobes but I recall a player called Brian Rankin refused to be subbed for Forfar in the 80's.

Never played for them again.

[Attilio]

Probably now a question of who will get punted first, keeper or manager?  Manager of course, the keeper is worth mega bucks and cash is king.

Looked for a minute that Sarri had walked!

He was raging.

Captain really should have stepped in there and got the keeper off. That can't be allowed to happen.  Makes me wonder if there is something else going on behind the managers back with the players

That shows a lack of respect to the manager, he should be our the door regardless of how much he cost or is worth.

Agree completely but this is Chelsea and the EPL we are discussing.

If Sky/BT pulled out of the Scottish game we'd get a bit of a shock too. I agree the money in Ingerland is obscene though.

I did not see or hear anything about the keeper incident But surely a manager is there to manage.

On the Sky/BT Scottish Game Sponsorship, did I not read that Sky won the next new overall contract?

I was commenting on the 'if the TV money disappeared' stuff, every league would get a shock, not just England. For better or worse the games Associations have sold their souls to the TV companies.

Player power reigns at Chelsea and has for years. It was up to Abramovich to sort it out years ago but he didnt.
