Chelsea Sack Grant!

delija_sever029

Grant was pissed so he refused to be some director in club for 2mil per year,leaving club after fight with Roman

He was always only going to be a stop-gap until hiddink is free to join and he probably knew it.

SCULLY

You may well be right. If that were true then all we can say is thanks for a job well done (I don't believe he would be a great manager instead of a bad one on the difference of a penalty slip).

I don't know if this is the case though. Either way, the way the press and a section of the fans have vilified him from day one for not being Jose is disgraceful. When we look back at his tenure with hindsight we will find that his record wasn't all that bad.

Still - I think that the club will be rebuilt during the summer and i don't know if Grant would be the best man to do this - will never know now.

Its no surprise whatsoever, in fact it would have been a major surprise if he hadnt been sacked, why does someone keep saying he was their most successful manager ever?? he didnt win anything, surely that makes him less successful then Mourinho? meh....i like the guy but he was never gonna have a fair crack at the whip

to take the prem to the final day of the season and lose the champions league by the width of a goal post is not good enough for Chelsea?? they will not have a happy future im afraid

Crazy to think how close Grant actually came to the perfect season and still ended up with nothing!

-1 result away from winning the league,
-1 result away from winning the champions league
-1 result away from winning the carling cup
-and had they gotten past the mighty barnsly it would have been hard to not see them winning the FA cup the way it played out.

Will the likes of Hiddink, Rijkaard etc. accept not being allowed to pick their own team for big matches?

Rijkkard to be re united with Ten Cate. Abramovich will then have his sexy football, and no one would bet against it being very successful either.

I think this will happen too. He's one of the only ones they're linked with that isn't of the 'steam roller/defensive' school of management.

Whispers suggesting that Chelsea are going for Lippi.

Grant did a great job to take Chelski to CL final as well as taking ManU to the last day of the season in the Premiership.

Ruthless move by Chelsea, but dont think Grant is a Top Class Manager and the had to act quickly to get a quality Manager for next season. Tough but correct decesion. Jose is a hard act to follow.

Lets hope Rikkard or Eriksonn gets the job.

Dave!

Let's hope they don't

I think Stan should get a go....

A guy I know in the car hire business was telling me he got a call to book a car to collect Avram Grant from the airport and bring him to the Stadium of Light.
Avram Grant in charge of Sunderland? That'd be a weird combination!
