"You don't know what your doing!"

Roman Abromovich that is!

First chance to comment since the news broke...

I think it's a thundering disgrace the way Avram Grant has been treated by
Chelsea Football Club and it's Russian owner. To stab him in the back like
that is an utter disgrace. Chelsea FC are telling us that it is planning on
becoming a world power in football. And THIS is how we treat the man that came
within one match and one goal of winning the Premiership and the CL! And he
only in charge 8 months!

It does not bode well for Chelsea FC! Any manager worth his salt will now
think twice before accepting the position at Chelsea because of it's exacting
demands!

I lost a lot of respect for Roman for his treatment of Grant... But I will
continue to support my club because of the players involved...

To the next manager involved with Chelsea... All I can say is God help him if
he loses a match!

still angry and grumblingly yours,

Ray

Grant, I believe, was always only a stop gap.

Most of the top managers were comfortable in their own jobs at the time,
and as expected - come the summer, there are a lot of viable contenders
to take the helm.

Look at how we all backed Ranieri whilst he was on football's own "death
row", but as soon as Mourinho came in we forgave everyone. It'll happen
again when the new manager comes in.

I just hope we don't become like Newcastle demanding a new manager every
season... I was reading somewhere that SAF would have been out under Roman for
the start he had with ManU... Yet, when given time, he's produced well...
Whoever we get, let's hope he's actually given a chance to build and progress
before being shown the door for losing 3 premleague matches...
