Hugging goodbye?

Chelsea sit second in the Premier League table. Not too bad at this point in the season and given Big Phil Scolari's first season in the Premier League. Yet it seems all is still not well, especially after the 3-0 humiliation at Old Trafford last weekend. With rumors of a dressing room split, players wanting out, and Big Phil's inability to win big games, rumors have surfaced that the Chelsea board (Abromovich) want him out.

Scolari has hit back in his own way by axeing a player that has seemed to cause more harm than good over the last year, as Didier Drogba will miss Chelsea's trip to Southend in the FA Cup as he has been axed by Scolari and told he can leave the club if he is not happy.

If this revelation is true is anyone's guess, yet with Anelka leading the Premier League in scoring and the pair seemingly unable or the manager unwilling to play together, it could be lights out for Drogs at Chelsea.

However, it is more Chelsea style to get rid of the manager in times like these than a player, is it not?
