Basically the gist of my argument. Players are supposed to do what manager tells them. If they can't, and even worse they refuse, it's not the coach's fault.
Except it's a faulty argument since RDM has sat both Terry and Lampard numerous times without losing the locker room.
Some managers are not cut out to manage the egos present on Chelsea's squad. The fact that you refuse to accept that as part of a manager's job is absurd.
AVB was trying to make a circle a square. He didn't have the personnel required to implement his system and simultaneously get positive results, the fundamental expectation of a Chelsea boss. He lost the locker room by favoring his system over success, not because Lampard, Terry or Drogba didn't like sitting on the bench.

I totally understand that opinion. I'm just railing against the idea that it's obviously a manager's fault when his players refuse to listen to their superior, or simply can't adjust to new tactics.
