Ray Wilkins

Wilkins likes a pint,wouldn't be surprised if it was drink related with it being so sudden.

 

This must be the actual incident then

Thought I heard some pundit on ESPN today saying hes heard its for financial reasons. He didnt really elaborate. Maybe Wilkins has a hefty contract. Doubt it though.

We'll find out tomorrow.

Not a happy bunny.

 

 

BBC Sport - Football - Ex-Chelsea coach Ray Wilkins to take legal advice

 

Ray Wilkins is to take legal advice following his departure from Chelsea.

 

The former assistant manager left the club on 11 November after being told his contract would not be renewed.

 

But in a statement Wilkins said he was seeking advice on "a number of questions arising from my undoubtedly unfair dismissal".

 

On Thursday Chelsea announced that Michael Emenalo had been promoted to the role from his former position as head opposition scout.

Word is it's due to a disagreement with Arnesen, which seems to be a recurring theme at Chelsea. WIlkins was apparently on very little money, relatively, which rules the cost cutting theory out.

Tango'd?

Indeed. The BBC or someone of those breakfast shows said when it happened, that what Wilkins earned in a year, Terry earned in just over three weeks.

3 pages of Ray on a Liverpool forum? Ah well.

:yes:

 

Sky are just saying that he has gone to the lg manager association to complain.

[Unrighteous]

He was a pretty damn good assistant. Reckon he'll get a manager gig or look to be the number two again?

Based on what? A politically correct statement from Ancelotti?

The same venerable body that once gave Steptoe their yearly award?

That should be helpful then.

Ancelotti doesn't seem best pleased either. If it was some sort of club decision that happened apart from Ancelotti then this may turn into a bigger deal than it first appears.

 

I wonder if there's any chance Ancelotti might resign and come to Liverpool? That would do me. He's a gentleman who has done it all at the highest level. He is used to working with a Director of Football, knows the league, can organise a team very well and so on.

 

Come to Anfield Carlo! You can even bring your errant eyebrow with you!

Wilkins has put some voodoo hex on the club. The way he talks suggests he dabbles in the occult and has Derek Acorah on speed-dial for spiritual guidance.
