I doubt it, if that was the case then they wouldn't have got Hazard (for example).
That is going to change soon, if and only if, FIFA/uefa stick to their guns about financial fair play. Chelsea will not be able to afford to pay the wages they are paying at the moment, that includes the players that they have on their books now. They probably wouldn't be able to set the benchmark as far as pricing out all the other teams when it comes to actually paying a fee aswell.Exactly, Football is a short career, earning a tonne to be at a fairly succesful club is not a bad idea tbf. As much as we all hate the fuckers Chelsea are in no risk of becoming a mid table club. And will always be there or there abouts when the trophies are handed out.

I'll be gutted if Harry goes there. I think he could work wonders with some of those attacking players.
Not surprised that RDM has gone. We all know he was a puppet, and we all know who put the CL winning team together.
Terry/Lampard/Cole as an emergency player manager trio? Pleeeeeeze
Caretaker role you say?
Awesome!Just remembered I had £100 with a Chelsea fan last Wednesday on who would be sacked first out of AVB and RDM.
Off topic a bit, not sure where to put it but a colleague of mine sat next to Redknapp at a function the other day and he was asked by someone else about going to QPR, they are all horse racing folks and his reply was 'I'd lay that all day long'
Then someone else said what about Chelsea (before Di Matteo got canned) and he joking said, well, I cant go to a team with no players over 5"6 can I!?' - not really sure what to make of that comment but apparently he was really good company (you would expect that)

Even by Chelsea owner Roman Abramovic's sky-high standards, the sacking of Roberto Di Matteo is ruthless. This is the manager who won the Champions League and FA Cup in May. Chelsea's statement claims results and performances have not been good enough - and yet only a month ago they were top of the Premier League after an outstanding 4-2 win at Spurs. The decision makes it even more abundantly clear that Di Matteo was only keeping the seat warm for the first love of Abramovich's footballing life, former Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola. Will he ever be able to lure him to a club for which managerial instability is a way of life?
