Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew hit out at the Chelsea players for getting manager Andre Villas-Boas sacked.
The Portuguese manager, who was in charge of Porto before replacing Carlo Ancelotti as Blues boss in the summer, lost his job today (Sunday) after falling three points behind fourth placed Arsenal with a 1-0 defeat at West Brom.
The Magpies boss compared the sacking with his spell with West Ham.
“I’ve been in it because I was at West Ham when I inherited a lot of senior pros who had just got relegated,” Pardew said.
“They made it difficult for me and one or two of them have apologised since, and so they should.
“I hope one day that perhaps that happens to that manager [Villas-Boas] because he deserves perhaps a better turn that he has had.”
Roberto Di Matteo has been placed in temporary charge at Stamford Bridge.
Wonder who that could have been
