Chelsea “an embarrassment”

Villas Boas was sacked on Sunday after a tumultuous eight months, succumbing to the player power that has taken hold of Chelsea in recent years.

Bevan told Radio 5 Live: “What’s for sure is the club, despite unlimited wealth, haven’t yet worked out how to build a successful football club. Looking for what is an eighth manager in nine years is a serious embarrassment to the owner, the club, the fans and the league.”
