Nothing's wrong with player power when the players are legends. Chelsea's players really just wanted to win. At other clubs it would more be an issue of individuals throwing tantrums, which disrupts everything. That group of Drogba, Lampard, Cech, Cole and Terry were serial winners that could carry even the worst manager to a CL run and a top4 finish.

like Simon said, Roman was a different type of owner. Pepe probo wouldn't work under an owner like that. Pep builds teams(at clubs with tremendous power and influence I must add, could he build at millwall?) while the majority if not all the Chelsea managers in Mikel's time atleast, they were brought in to win instantly with the ready made stars they had. Its the fact Chelsea had so many stars that they had that power to make a manager disappear. in this day and age things are different. look at sancho for example lol
