Chelsea Nothing has really gone straight for Terry and his men since the king of tactics, if I may mark him so, Jose Mourinho has parted from Stamford Bridge. John Terry’s conduct as a captain has been skeptical frequently, and yet again, the defender along with his teammates was under the scanner for their improper conduct during a stormy 2-0 win over Derby in November.
Blues were in the tenterhooks for angrily confronting referee Andre Marriner following the red card decision against the midfielder Michael Essien in the game. All hell broke loose today, when in a Regulatory Commission hearing, the Blues admitted a charge, that they failed to maintain proper player conduct, and were smashed with a fine of 40,000 pounds (79,000 dollars) by the FA.
Michael Essien called for a red card by elbowing Derby striker Kenny Miller in injury-time, a decision that forced the Blues into rebellion against the referee. Such acts were least anticipated in the Mourinho domain, the man really managed the side, both in and off the field, and no Blues fanatic would disagree. Nothing really against Avram Grant though.
