Gallas threatened to score own goal
Monday, Sep 04, 2006
Chelsea Football Club has the following statement on William Gallas to explain the circumstances behind his departure. These include his refusal to play for the team, and if selected, a threat to score an own goal.
The statement says:
Chelsea FC believes it is important for our supporters to be made aware of the full facts regarding William Gallas and the lack of respect he showed to the fans, the manager and the club.
Despite leaving he continues to attack José Mourinho and this cannot be left unchallenged.
Chelsea made William Gallas a very substantial and attractive new contract offer to stay towards the end of last season. This was rejected.
The issue was purely one of money, despite his public comments that he wanted a new challenge, to play abroad and so forth. These were just a smokescreen to cover up the fact he was hawking himself to the highest bidder.
Having failed to secure his demands, his position became increasingly intransigent and unacceptable.
He initially refused to play against Liverpool in the FA Cup semi-final last season in an effort to force an increased contract offer.
As is now well documented he refused to join up with the team in Los Angeles during pre-season, despite agreeing the dates for his return as the other World Cup players did, with the club.
When José Mourinho generously offered him a way back into the "family" after the American tour, this was thrown back in the Chelsea manager's face.
The manager told him that, even if he did not agree a new contract but returned to the "family" and abided by the rules, he would still select the best players available and would not punish him playing wise.
However despite meetings to try and resolve the problems Gallas made it clear to José Mourinho he would never play for Chelsea again.
Before the first game of the season against Manchester City, when only four defenders were available and John Terry was doubtful with an injury, he refused to play.
He went on to threaten that if he was forced to play, or if he was disciplined and financially punished for his breach of the rules, that he could score an own goal or get himself sent off, or make deliberate mistakes.
Clearly this was a totally unacceptable situation for the manager, the team and the club.
Chelsea's interests had to be protected and a solution was collectively agreed. If a satisfactory deal for Chelsea could be found, Gallas would be sold. If that did not happen it was agreed by all that Gallas would have to fulfil the terms of his contract.
Chelsea has a wage structure in place that is valued not only on the contribution of the player to the manager and the team, but also on a player’s respect for the club and contribution to the promotion and image of the club off the field. Every player is expected to play their part in this.
William Gallas rarely recognised these responsibilities. He also failed to recognise the role José Mourinho and Chelsea played in helping him become a double Premiership champion for a player whose only league title prior to that had been in the French Second Division
Chelsea are not doing themselves any favours by washing their dirty linen in public.
They come across as mean spirited and vindictive, I wonder how much other resntment is brewing in that camp?

They are a joke.
I mean could you imagine any other club in the Premiership doing something like that to a recently sold player? I can't.
That statement is a disgrace. You have to wonder if it's actually real or not. They've left themselves wide open for libel. Mind you they can afford to be sued.
Wow, this is a rare occasion when I think fair play to Chelsea for making the statement.
Gallas and Cole are a disgrace to football, and a pair of greedy ***** :handshake:

It's a total disgrace.
This statement is definitely all Jose's doing. His big f*cking head couldn't handle Gallas's public insults and my guess is he stormed into Kenyon's office and started banging his fists against the table insisting that Chelsea FC issue a vindictive lie of a statemnt on his behalf.
Cnuts, the lot of them.
Both the 'wrong' type of footballer, and I hope there is no-one with an attitude like theirs at Anfield (although Diao might be another one...)
I've heard that Gallas is getting paid more from Arsenal than Cole is at Chelsea!!! :haha:

Why is Gallas greedy? Do you really believe he left for the money? Cole is a cnut and he has found his perfect fit, Chelsea, but Gallas was sick of that prick Maureen and wanted to play his preferred position as centre back for the remainder of his career.

Yeah, but was totally unprofessional in the way he went about it.
Perhaps he's just a **** rather than a greedy **** then :haha:

I just, er, 'admire' is too strong the word.... 'agree' that Chelsea have exposed him for what an unloyal idiot he has been. :handshake:
Chelski signs up all the best players that can be bought. As soon as they can get more elsewhere there will be trouble.
I don`t think they will fall apart, but I expect more cases like this.

Unless the part about refusing to play is true I don't think Gallas did anything tht wrong. In football people act as if a contract to play for a club is something different to any other contract to work. If I was unable to leave my job, in which I was unhappy I would feel pefectly justified in not treking half way across the world to earn my employers a bit of cash.

I've been thinking about this :
How would we feel if a player treated Liverpool like this, and Benitez came out and revealed the threats the player made?
We'd be delighted that the club/manager stuck up for themselves :handshake:
(assuming of course it's all true)
haha, can you imagine it, chelsea use up two of their subs, john terry goes down injured, gallas comes on
no more subs left, Gallas starts pinging in own goals,
bwhahaahaha :D

I agree it completely depends on the truth of the allegations. I would currently guess that Gallas wouldn't accept a low offer as he thought he could get a better package of money + games + playing in his favoured positiion from other teams.
I would however hope that Rafa/Liverpool would not feel the need to attack a player once they left. These things tend to come out over time anyway.
with rafa, i might tend to believe it, but i often thought houllier would tell porkie pies, especially around the time robbie and thommo had the bust up.

Is anyone else rather scared by the repeated use of the ‘family’ terminology?
They aren’t the fucking Corleones.

I think Disco has a point though...
Chelsea's conduct in all this has been shameful - absolutely no need to make a public statement.
However, I seem to remember a similiar situation about three years ago when Ranieri was in charge (before Ambramovich came in). Gallas demanded a better pay package and threatened to leave Chelsea. It didn't go down very well with football supporters in general and I remember people accusing him of being greedy.
He's had two identical clashes with two very different managers. I think it's no coincidence...
My favourite bit of the whole article.:haha:
Mine too :haha: :haha: :haha:
Well, I hope all the players follow Gallas! Soon :D

i think you`d find Roman pissing all over the Corleones.
Although I believe that Gallas has been the main 'problem' here I still can't help but snigger at the thought of Chelsea washing their dirty linen in public! It really shows what a classless club they are!
I'd like to have thought that as a club we'd have kept it 'in-house' if it was us in their position.

I agree.
I guess the problem is that Gallas isn`t "in-house" any more.
But I agree. If the club had just kept its mouth shut Gallas would have looked even more like a prick.

I agree.
I can't imagine Benitez would come out and reveal such threats if it happened at LFC. He just has far too much class.
It's Chelseas attempt at having the last word, they are nothing more than spoilt brats.
Gallas is certainly a footballing mercenary, tho.
On talksport they said he hedn't had a rsie in the 6 years he was ther, he was earning a quarter of shevechenko and ballack's wages, and a third of lampards wages.
If this is true then fair play to him (gallas) and it makes chelsea look like the classless chavs they are.

thats how i see it. The Majority of Chelsea fans are devastated at this, they know Gallas is one of the worlds best central defenders and most fans wanted a gallas/terry axis, this way they muddy his name and get the chelsea fans back on there side.
Same as if Gerrard left us and Benitez said its because he REFUSED to play on the right many would side with Rafa.
Chelsea sink new depths of patheticness on a daily basis, by the end of the season they will be the most despised club in the world,mark my words.

I suppose the difference is that we would never have let it get to that stage in the first case.
When Gallas asked to leave, Chavski issued statements that he was going nowhere; he just wasn't going to be sold. It was the bluntness of the way they handled it which was pathetic. That was the start of the whole thing unravelling.

I'd prefer it if the club kept quiet and just moved on. And our club would.

The high earners like Ballack, Sheva, Chav John and fatcunt won't be bothered.
It's the squad players and first teamers on lower wages who may want a new contract/payrise who'll be left pondering.

Very True on 150k not sure i would be to bothered either!!
Think there PR rep needs to be working doubleovertime to sort this crap out though!!

Well even Chav John and Fatcunt earn 30-50K less than Chavchenko and Bollocks - that's bound to be annoying

Yeah but they are on long term deals. Gallas was due for a re-newal.
Mind you in a couple of years time it may be interesting to see what happens with those 2. But then again who can tell what will be going on at Chelsea by then.
Well even Chav John and Fatcunt earn 30-50K less than Chavchenko and Bollocks - that's bound to be annoying
thought they had clauses inseterted to make them equal highest paid players?
May be wrong.....thought the Chavfour were all on 135000 a week? only read it so probably crap
