Buck denies Roman rumour

Buck denies Roman rumour

10 April 2008 - 17:44

Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck has denied rumours that Roman Abramovich was 'ranting and raving' at the players after the club's shock exits in the Carling Cup and FA Cup.

  • Chelsea expected to sell striker after loan deal
  • Arsenal defender misses training ahead of Man Utd game

  • "I don't think his reaction was any different from my reaction, I mean I was very disappointed, I was sad, I was unhappy," said Buck.





    "But I think there are a lot of stories that Roman called crisis meetings and was very upset and ranting and raving in the dressing room, that's total rubbish, it was all untrue. He was unhappy like all Chelsea fans were unhappy.





    "I don't think that Roman or the board or anyone that is involved thought that the style of football would change over night.





    "You're a footballer and I think you know that just doesn't happen, players have a certain approach and attitude ingrained in them and it's very difficult for them to change.





    "But, having said that, during the course of the last nine months I think we have seen some examples of stylish, entertaining, fun football and would expect to see more of that as time progresses. We never thought this was going to be an overnight change."
