Florent Malouda blames Chelsea big wigs for freezing him out at Stamford Bridge:
Former Chelsea winger Florent Malouda has spoken about how he was frozen out by Chelsea in his last year in West London, claiming the directors of the club were responsible for his lack of first-team appearances
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2763616/Florent-Malouda-blames-Chelsea-big-wigs-freezing-out.html

"There were these nonsense stories in the media. I was supposed to be asking for too much money. The directors did all they could to discredit me. I was sent to the academy as an example to show that a player shouldn’t decide his future."

Yep. Nothing to do with the fact that you were totally useless after 09-10. Nope, nothing at all.

No regrets, says Carlo Cudicini on his decision to stay at Chelsea after being overtaken as No 1 by Petr Cech:
Former Chelsea goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini says he has no qualms about having stuck with Chelsea after being dropped for Petr Cech, saying his time in West London and the relationship he has with the fans are things he wouldn't give away for anything

“I don’t like to look back and think I should have done this, I should have done that.”

“At that time I thought it was the right thing to do and the club did want me there, because they want top players in every position. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to go – the club didn’t want me to go.”

“I should have moved maybe a little bit earlier than when I joined Tottenham in 2009, but I’m quite pleased with the career I had and the relationship I had with the club and the supporters was amazing and I wouldn’t give that away for anything.”
