QUOTES OF THE WEEK

I WILL not be making revolution. That would be stupid. Gianluca Vialli, Chelsea's new player-manager, on taking over from Ruud Gullit.

NO ONE stabbed Rudi in the back, not the staff or the players. This has come from the board. Vialli.

DEATH comes quick now in football. Kevin Keegan, former manager of Newcastle United, on Gullit's sacking.

WE have the highest paid team in the country - the players Ruud Gullit brought in. I can halve the cost of season tickets tomorrow if that's what the fans want, but then they will have to put up with free transfers from the Nationwide League. Ken Bates, Chelsea chairman, on his club's massive rise in season ticket prices.
