Departing Petit unhappy with Roman’s Chelsea rule

FORMER France international Emmanuel Petit, whose Chelsea contract expires in June, says he will not be at Stamford Bridge next season and is unhappy at the way owner Roman Abramovich is running the club.

“I know I won’t be with Chelsea next season. They don’t want to keep me and I don’t want to stay,” said the 33-year-old midfielder yesterday.

It is an abrupt reversal by Petit, whose current campaign has already been ended by injury, having been plagued by knee problems. In January he said he was keen to spend another two years at the club.
