Andrews: Glad to leave Blackburn

Indian owners Venky's took charge in November 2010, replacing experienced manager Sam Allardyce with coach Steve Kean.

And Andrews has spoken out about the regime which deemed him surplus to requirements, first loaning him out to Ipswich before allowing him to move to The Hawthorns.

"Things went on in the summer that I wasn't entirely happy with," he said.

"I had a tough season last year with a fairly simple injury, where I ended up getting an infection from the operation.

"For one reason or another, I didn't play a lot of football last year.

"It was taken out of my hands in the summer. They wanted rid of me without really consulting me, so from that point on I was keen to get away."

And Andrews sympathises with the players left at the club.

"I think it's very hard," he said.

"The way the club's been run since the owners have taken over, the whole scenario isn't ideal.

"I think anyone that is in it will tell you that it's a bit of a mish-mash.

"The budget has been restricted, there's players leaving left, right and centre.

"It's not an ideal scenario."

xcellent decision, probably one of VERY few footballers who will be remembered as leaving the club after scoring the champions league winning goal with his very last kick! Not many get that tag in football!

Drogba confirms Blues departure

his is for the best, his hunger would be in serious question now after winning everything with us. A true Chelsea legend, up there with Osgood and Zola, come back and see us now and then Didier. And as Martin Tyler said on Saturday night....he is immortal at Chelsea. What a way to go out eh....Good luck big man wherever you land next.

ne of the many delights of the final few seconds of the season was seeing little Mike Owen with his trackie off and full replica kit on, getting ready to celebrate having contributed NOTHING all season. Would have been on a par with Terry's carry-on in Munich.
