  I'm thinking the team played against Chelsea to get him OUT. Just saying.

Yeh - I was wondering how the majority of the players would be feeling; I imagine that even those who TP brought in, or those who had an affinity with him would've been hard pressed to stay loyal to him in the last few months.
It's gotta be seen as a relief to all of them surely. Hopefully the new chappie will be less restrictive and less likely to be barking instructions for the complete game
