Drogba slapped with £100k fine

Thursday, January 1, 2009

Didier Drogba has been hit with a £100,000 fine by Chelsea over his controversial comments in France Football magazine this week.

The whining Ivory Coast striker has angered team-mates and Blues officials by claiming he did not get enough support following the death of his grandmother.

But his fellow Blues expressed their distaste for Drogba's utterances in a team meeting the following day, with one accusing him of "talking b*******".

Furthermore, the 30-year-old was reminded that the club in fact laid on a private jet so he could return to his homeland after his grandmother's passing.

And now, after the players had their say, the higher-ups at Stamford Bridge - namely owner Roman Abramovich and chief executive Peter Kenyon - have demanded an explanation from Drogba and imposed him a week's wages.

The ill-tempered meeting and Drogba’s central role in it raise the possibility once more of the striker being sold in the January transfer window.
