Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has held an amazing showdown with manager Andre Villas-Boas. The Daily Mail says Villas-Boas was locked in talks with Abramovich at Chelsea's training ground on Saturday.
The Russian billionaire, flanked by key adviser Eugene Shvidler and fellow Chelsea director Eugene Tenenbaum, arrived at the training ground in Cobham before the start of training and the players were stunned when Abramovich walked out to watch Villas-Boas's session.
He saw 35 minutes of training before spending another half an hour with Villas-Boas demanding to know tactics for the game against United.
After watching Chelsea draw he went into the dressing room and spent about half an hour talking to the players. Abramovich turned up without any warning to watch them train before Sunday's 3-3 draw with Manchester United, when Villas-Boas's side threw away a 3-0 lead.
