Andre Villas-Boas has criticised his former side Chelsea as well as owner Roman Abramovich for not staying true to his word and allowing the Portuguese boss to oversee his long-term project with the club.

Villas-Boas arrived at Stamford Bridge in 2011 with a mandate to revitalise an ageing squad.
But the 35-year-old was quickly shown the door when results didn't go his way and was sacked just nine months into his post.
He was also slammed for benching some of the Blues's elder statesmen, including stalwart Frank Lampard - a move that didn't go down well with the club's senior players.
Villas-Boas feels that Abramovich has little idea what is best for the west London outfit and that he is purely focused on immediate results.
Now in charge of Tottenham, he told The Sun: "There are no plans at Chelsea, it's results that rule.
"There are times in football when it's easier to replace the coach.
"But when you embrace a project you believe in people. There was a commitment from Abramovich and his word was given.
"Yet there was a premature departure."
Spurs have been in good form recently, having won four of their last five games in the top flight and are currently third in the table.
Villas-Boas is happy with the way things have panned out for his side thus far.
"We're achieving what we've been asked to achieve," he added.
"We're still in the Europa League and third in the Premier League," he added.
