As soon as the special one left I think Drogba going was on the cards.
Its a big blow to Chelsea... he is a fragile personality, but going forward he is the only player they have that really frightens you as a defender.
Cashley Cole was always a bad signing to me, especially as they let Glen Johnson go because of signing Cashley - and allright, Johnson was raw but he had a lot of potential and Wayne Bridge is a quality player in that position already.
I dont see things getting easier for them either. The Makele's powers are just starting to wane a little and Obi Mikel isnt good enough to fill his shows.
Dont know that Man United fans can take too much high ground about intimidating refs though... I can remember a few incidents of Roy Keane in the ref's face screaming at him...
One possibility I thought about for Chelsea was Rafa Benitez... if the board go ahead and get rid of him. He's a big enough personality to control all of those big ego's... maybe too big a personality for Roman to deal with though - and Im not sure he'd ever manage enough English club anyway out of respect to the Liverpool fans.
