Ray Wilkins

[PistolPete]

i would rather be dead if Ray Wilkins had anything to do with this club (complete bore imho who doesn't know a lot)

I know the truth behind the sacking and although not particularly interesting does nothing to prevent me from agreeing with Mrs Hinge.

[Ferris]

Can't say I kept up with the whole saga of his sacking but is there a definitive story behind it?

I was told a version tonight that seems to have some credibility, and not one I heard at the time.

Go on...

Whatever it is ...it should be on Chelsea's Unfounded Rumours & Gossip, not on here ....what the fack do we want to be talking about the crab for???

Wilkins and his wife attended various functions hosted by the Chairman and would meet some of his powerful / wealthy Russian businessmen / dignatories and their wives, and they all got on fine.

At one of these functions Mrs W got on particularly well with one of the wives and was somewhat aghast that, at another function, this particular Russiam arrived, not with his wife on his arm, but a young bimbo.

Incensed by this Mrs W apparently had a go at him about his infidelity.

It was shortly after this that Ray was asked to pack his bags.

Sounded unsensational enough to maybe have a ring of truth to it.

[Royal Lady]

good for Mrs Wilkins - but that would be pretty surprising if it were the reason they got shot of Butch.

Not that I could possibly know whether the story is true but I think the Russian in question was a particularly good friend of RA's and probably extremely powerful so one could imagine it would have been mega-embarrassing for the host; in the circumstances Wilkins may have been fortunate to get away with just getting fired!!
