Players did not support him?

He has valid point which you cannot simply ignore as rantings of an axed coach as it is mouthed by a person of Scolari's Pedigree . He is right is his assertion when he says that when everything is not hunky dory more often than not it is the coach who is made to be the proverbial lamb for slaughter instead of the million bucks guzzling players .Since one is not certain what kind of politics was being played out behind the scenes or some players actually bred dissent within the ranks ,I can neither support or refute his point . Maybe the players didnot like his style of coaching or there was a communication barrier

haha, "she" :) there was definately something amiss there though he's a proven quality manager it ust didnt work out. I think there's alot of politics that go on behind the scenes at Chelsea with Abrahmovich and that.. But Hiddink certinaly got them playing again and left a very popular man so it is hard to pinpoint just why Scolari didn't work..
