Chelsea sack Conte.

Strange one that - I think it’s a dynamics thing and I’d hazard a guess that the Chelsea Board are not the easiest to do business with either......no more manic bada bee bada baa bada bing on the touchlines - he’s such a character - Shame 
I read today that he's upset more than a few Chelsea players and they wanted rid. Seems that Willian is the most amenable of characters and Conte managed to upset him as well. Player power rules these days and has done for some time. Different in days gone by.
Story about Swans' great Mel Charles when he played for Cardiff under martinet manager Jimmy Scoular. Mel scored a hat trick against Swindon Town and found himself dropped for the next game. At training he demanded to know why. Scoular replied that he hadn't worked hard enough for the team. Mel pointed to a horse in a nearby field and said, "Look, you could put a #8 shirt on him and he'd run all day but he won't score you a fucking hat trick!" That was his last game for Cardiff as he was told to look for a new club. His next club was Welsh League side Porthmadog. And that's how it was in those days.

Players of that era must look at todays wage and think 'if only' As I've said on another forum I spent all my school days with Herbie Williams,up to the Swansea School Boys days, then we went our separate ways, a few years later we would often meet at the 76 Port Tennant bus stop at David Evans Store about 4-30 pm,Herbie going home from training with his football togs slung around his neck, me a plant fitter with the Cohen 600 group.Herbie's wages £19 a week, mine £21 a week for a then 44hr week, in our latter years we often had a laugh about it before he moved off to Australia. Footballers wage must be the biggest increase of any 'working' person over the past years.
