News that Roberto di Matteo is still collecting £130k a week in wages from Chelsea after his sacking got me thinking.
What other bonkers stories about players or clubs are there. I know we will have loads but does anyone know of ones that went under the radar or were glossed over?

People being signed on contracts for loads of money then sacked & effectively being paid for not doing anything at all. Everyone is at it, all the time, it's ridiculous.

the madness is that di matteo wasn't on a contract when he first took over at chelsea, he only signed a 'long term' deal part way through his tenure.

You cant call it madness giving him a contract after winning the CL surely.

Wat the fuck is that on phil jones head!

I find it mad when teams like Chelsea pay £m for a manager, sign him up to a long term deal for however long knowing that managers very rarely see out contracts then get rid a few months later.

That they're still paying him, and probably many others, seems pretty normal.

See your point but weren't Chelsea the luckiest team ever to win it. They were gash in the Prem. Finished 6th if i remember correctly. He was a disaster waiting to happen
