Chelsea Refuse Clarke Resignation

Chelsea have refused to accept the resignation of assistant coach Steve Clarke and declined to give permission for West Ham United to talk to him. So despite Clarke being sidelined under Scolari Chelsea are refusing to let one of their longest and most dedicated employees move elsewhere.

How gracious of them. Almost 15 years service to the club as both a player and as a coach and this is how they repay him - undermine his position and refuse to let him get another job. It's hard to understand why Chelsea are the most hated team in football.
