Kenyon Defends Sacking

Kenyon told Radio Five Live: We fully buy into and are very supportive of awareness programmes, education and welfare. On this occasion, the same support was there for Adrian Mutu. He chose to ignore it, lie and as a consequence the rules are quite simple. To suggest there was no support and we left him out to dry because we wanted to get rid of him is absolute rubbish.

"We could have taken decision in summer to move Adrian Mutu out and get a transfer fee for him but we embraced him and wanted him to be part of our squad. The player has a role to play in this, if they don't want to be helped, it is a two-way process."

For once, the bald guy is speaking some sense. This is one of those occasions where there are grounds to support both parties, Chelsea and Mutu. At the moment, public opinion is divided, but with more sense like this from Kenyon, Chelsea could come out of this with dignity intact!
