"You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain".
As brutal as that opening line may be in a clear reference to the departure of Marcos Alonso, I cannot help but feel it is appropriate. Maybe it is more fitting to refer to a film franchise that has gone on for too long. The first Die Hard was the good one. What number of Fast and Furious are they on now?
Alonso's biggest detriment was the feeling he stayed around far too long and, by the end, represented more of what was wrong with Chelsea than what was right.
