    More ridiculous news from the merry-go-round.

    Who would honestly want to take the job now, although the farcical demands and timeframe probably mean that getting sacked probably isn't a career stain.

    No surprise with recent results and the way they have looked on the pitch.

    Mancini, Rijkaard or Hiddink?

    Any intellegent Chelsea fan should welcome him back with open arms. He was fantastic for us. It's a good decision, we still have a chance of the FA cup and the CHampions league but not with Scolari. he cost us our home record as well. Rjikard wouldn't be the worst but Hiddink would be better. Nostalgia wants vialli though

    Grant mustn't have a shred of dignity left if he would even consider going back. And if he does, he should negotiate the mother of all compensation packages.

    I'm surprised at this and as a Villa fan don't know if it's good or bad news for us.

    On the one hand it puts Chelsea in a bit of turmoil right before we play them, but then again they might have new manager syndrome and play fantastic for the rest of the season.

    It's not that great news for non-Chelsea teams. Scolari was sticking with his narrow system which wasn't working. However there's not much a manager can do to change the squad that is just desperately lacking in wingers.

    Still, hilarious decision.

    I'm not surprised he was sacked, but i'm surprised he was sacked today. Thought they'd leave it till the end of the season.

    Who will they go for now? Hiddink would be the best choice i think. Sven? O'Neill? Mancini? Grant?
