In the ultimate expression of Blair’s victim culture (C)Ashley Cole is apparently now feeling ‘victimised’ after Chelsea have threatened to fine him a whole two weeks wages (a paltry £200k for him) for tarnishing the club’s image according to the Telegraph. Someone close to Cole seems to have responded by ‘linking’ Cole with Real Madrid and Barcelona — the implication being, as he revealed in his autobiography, that Chelsea ought to be grateful that he deigns to stay with them.
He’s apparently upset that the club has supported Terry in his marital problems when he’s been fined. Terry appears to have got his wife’s backing (in public at least) whereas Cole can’t really be surprised that his high-profile spouse doesn’t particularly like being made to look a fool in public. He should also remember how he’s not exactly worked hard to cultivate respect from the public either — with his famously greedy reaction reported in his autobiography to being offered ‘only’ £55,000 a week by Arsenal.
Apparently Abramovic is not too impressed with Cole’s effect on PR.
Cole isn’t even particularly popular with Chelsea fans either. Most probably wouldn’t be sad to see the back of him. Maybe the the Premier League should consider how the wider reputation of footballers has been tarnished and fine clubs in this position with a points deduction. As it’s not a first offence for either Cole or Chelsea then a 6 points would be fairly reasonable.
You should stop reading tabloids. Or if you do get the Daily Star at least it’s only 20p.
If C’Ash Cole is fined expect 15 transfer requests. No journalist with an ounce of credibility or rationality writes that story as it’s palpable nonsense.
They bought C’Ash (Or is that G’Ash?) for marketability and he’s even managed to lose that pathetic trophy wife of his (entered Britain dressed like someone going to an Inspector Gadget conference). Seriously I am sure his marriage was never about fidelity but he did not even have the ability to shag other women without creating headlines.
The story was in the Telegraph (most expensive paper I think barring the FT). I had a link to it on the post.
Seeing as C’Ash is worth £14m according to the London Evening Standard I don’t think he’d be too bothered about being fined, though maybe with his concern for money, perhaps he would.
Guardian and Indie £1 Telegraph was 0.90p
It’s not a credible story. Or it’s only in the sense that Roman wanted to and then some creep hoped he forgot as no way was it happening. I’d sell the injury prone guy to Real as although he’s been good this year he’s injury prone and not that good.
