why is di matteo sacked?

I honestly think it is ridiculous that chelsea sacked di matteo. Yes, he had a bad run of results but he made some fantastic signings and won't the champions league. They started the season well and the only person that could put them back on a good run of results is di matteo!

Because he was employed by Abrahmovich ( who wouldn't recognise the word 'loyal' if he tripped over it )

It's quite funny how its all happened so soon after Pep Guadiola (spelling?) has said he's willing to listen to offers an instructed his agent to put feelers out... When that hit the papers it was only a matter of time really before Matteo went... That an the lack of loyalty that has been said before me

Abrohamovich has no patience.

Because he isn't good enough.

Spent a fortune and ended up with a leaky defence and one striker who hasn't had any sort of form in 2 years - poor management.
Will be the first manager ever to not take the current champions through the group phase.

They seem to go through managers like a kife through hot butter. Its a poison chalice taking over that role.

There must of been some hope for him or why else give him funds and a two yr contract? Surely a month to month rolling contract and limited funds or someone above to make the signing should of been done if he wasn't good enuff? Saying that he was interviewed an deemed not good enuff by us wasn't he before Malky got the job? Funny old game ain't it
