I heard something on SSN this am that Gaurdiola hasn't agreed a new contract at Barca but I really couldn't see him leaving the best team in Europe unless it was for some very drastic reason.

When you have achieved everything you can with a group of players, maybe the challenge has gone and leaving is the right thing to do.

Reports were that he was house hunting in London during the week.

I had heard he was keen to get back to English football, so the timing could be perfect.

He did seem to have completely lost the whole dressing room and in his last couple of interviews he did come across as being out of his depth at this stage of his career.......I guess it can't be easy handling so many ego's etc. when you are only 34 and gaining the respect of the senior players may well have been an issue as well.

I think the senior players are part of the problem at Chelsea.

Apparently there has been/is to be something on SSN this afternoon from Phil Scolari about 'problems' at Chelsea.

It has cost Abramovich a huge amount of money recently. He spent £28m paying off Ancelotti and compensating Porto to get AVB and now it's costing him another £14m to get rid of him...........£42M in total What makes it even more mental is that Ancelotti was doing a good job too and may well have brought success the following season.
