Its was for the themselfes for all their hard work and loyalty toward the club! But also for Roman and the fans, we might had 20manager during their time but loyalty was Drogba, jt, lamps and roman that always had same goal CL!

Nothing's wrong with player power when the players are legends. Chelsea's players really just wanted to win. At other clubs it would more be an issue of individuals throwing tantrums, which disrupts everything. That group of Drogba, Lampard, Cech, Cole and Terry were serial winners that could carry even the worst manager to a CL run and a top4 finish.
Roman best owner in prem history no question!

I think Danny Murphy was just exceptional with his submission as it helped Mikel put his words the right way. Thanks Danny.
I miss Roman...Best owner ever
They were winners, thats the difference with some of these teams now adays
This is why this club was club of the decade during that 11 years. Its all xane down from the owner
Fianlly an interview with an ex player where the player is honest and not pulling punches.
Love this interview
Interesting to get the perspective of a player
Players are the most important people in the club. Don’t say that to Eric Ten Hag😂
Obi is right. All these managers are overhyped and really rely on the players for the success and results.
Look at Jim’s eyes lighting up thinking “I gotcha now”
mikel was massively underrated
Would have been asking John Obi Mikel why on earth was Ancelotti sacked. He won the double, making history with most goals scored, then finished 2nd in the league and was gone. I am surely not the only Chelsea fan to have been left puzzled on why this happened

like Simon said, Roman was a different type of owner. Pepe probo wouldn't work under an owner like that. Pep builds teams(at clubs with tremendous power and influence I must add, could he build at millwall?) while the majority if not all the Chelsea managers in Mikel's time atleast, they were brought in to win instantly with the ready made stars they had. Its the fact Chelsea had so many stars that they had that power to make a manager disappear. in this day and age things are different. look at sancho for example lol

A Honest View of John...Love the truth from an Excellent Player.. JT Was the Boss..Any Manager who dropped him was a Fool..😅

Mikel's always been a bit of a cnut (same with Drogba and Terry). The fans are the most important part of the club, not the players. When the players have f@@ked off, the fans will still be there.
