Wilkins sacked - but why?


Former Chelsea assistant manager Ray Wilkins was sacked by the board around 2 weeks ago. As of now, no one has a clear idea of why he got fired and who's decision it actually was. Some are suggesting that Chelsea's billionaire owner Roman Abramovich made the decision but no one really knows why. Wilkins calls it as "unfair dismissal" and that he might take legal action against the club. In his place Chelsea have appointed Michael Emenalo who has no coaching experience but instead was the opposition head scout. Surely this wasn't Chelsea coach Ancelloti's coach and when asked about Emenalo, Ancelloti says that they have worked together for a year and half. Well that really doesn't say much, in fact no one knows if Emenalo was Ancelloti's choice as his assistant. Wilkins is a very respected figure in football having spells with Chelsea, Manchester United and AC Milan in a successful playing career and he probably deserved better from a team which he gave his all for.
