Avram Grant

[misschief 24]

Is no-one going to question the players here at all? Don't get me wrong, I really can't stand Grant and its clearer everyday he hasnt got the first idea how to manage a squad of players. But shouldn't we be just a little worried that some of them are starting to think they're bigger than the club? If they've got concerns about the manager, is holding meetings of their own the right way to go about it? He's the manager whether they like it or not and surely the way to change that is to approach Roman? They cant run the club on their own no matter how they feel.

It may not be that they feel themselves bigger than the club, just that they want to continue playing good football, and see Grant as an irrelevance. They were probably well fucked off about the Carling selection, and the way no one knew who was playing until a few hours before. ie keeping them in the dark, so a snub to the toad was in order.

Approaching Abramovich may be out of the equation individually, but perhaps they should send a delegate, who represents them en masse, saying ''look this cunt's useless''

There's more chance of me managing Chelsea next season than Grant. Roman's made some really bad decisions but he wont make the mistake of believing he can do anything other than appoint a replacement in the summer imo.

Well I think you'd get better results Misschief. I think the club and team will continue to grind out what could be termed successful results, though as already seen in the three 'big' games that we fucked up in, the lack of tactical nous becomes glaringly apparent.

If this trend continues he will indeed be offski come May.

The follow on is interesting ie who do we get ? -my dosh would be on Hiddink, and also........who the fuck would want Grant as a manager anywhere else ?? hes not fit for the Isthmian League in reality. My guess is that his blushes would be spared, and another Israeli billionaire would save his face.

It needs to be someone who's used to handling big ego's - Rijkaard is one who doesnt seem to be going away. Can't stand him personally but right now I'd be prepared to put up with him - and I really can't believe I'm saying that. Hiddink's another possible.

Another one out of a job in May will be Ancelotti, but I just can't see him fancying Chelsea somehow. And then of course Rafa'll be available as well......

What will become of the Clueless One? he'll go back to shuffling.........cones.

I'm surprised Terry hasn't approached Grant if everyone's that unhappy - then again, maybe he already has?

^ lol.

When I first heard about the Rijkaard rumor I was pretty excited b/c let's face it, ANYONE is better than who we've got. But I honestly think we could do better than the Barça boy. He knew how to handle big stars but not any more...now he is just randomly rotating Messi, Eto'o, Henry, and Ronaldinho even though Messi and Eto'o deserve to play every game. He is just too nice about it, which is why Jose seems like the one who is gonna replace him.

Everyone seems to think he is deffo off in the summer regardless of being sacked, but I think he is gonna take a break from managing anyways, so we should maybe look elsewhere. I would be happy with anyone of Ancelotti, Lippi, or Hiddink, but then again anything is a step up from what we've got.

Think you're right, people would seem to settle for anyone instead of Grant, understandably

Rijkaard might not be the best option. Quite like the look of Spalletti -(dumped Madrid out last night), top coach.

In an astonishing revelation, reports from Portugal indicate Benfica may be looking to secure Grant’s managerial services should he suffer the axe at Chelsea this summer.

Grant’s agent Pini Zahavi was reportedly in Lisbon last week to meet with Benfica president Luis Felipe Vieira in order to discuss the possibility of Grant replacing Fernando Chalana at the Estadio da Luz.

It is believed Grant will seek a ₤5 million payout from Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich, while Russia coach Guus Hiddink and Barcelona boss Frank Rijkaard are the front-runners to take over at Stamford Bridge next season.

It is indeed astonishing, it's probably a case of Grants fellow Israeli billionaire agent bigging up the charlatan to secure some kind of job for him, and another little dig at Mourinho. Still, wa hey! fuckin' take him. Tell you what we'll have a whip round, just to give him a bit more dosh, if he fucks off.

Oh please, pretty please let this be ture!!!!

[Badboy 1,526]

If grant wins us the champions league or premiership should he be sacked even then.

[Fulham Broadway 17,299]

Anything the team attains is in spite of the Special needs One in my opinion. He adds nothing at best, but is at worst a liability.

[Gianfranco_Z 202]

Hurrah.

Yes please.

[EskWeston 696]

All this will he, won't he leave is getting into overdrive now! Half the papers reporting he will leave and the other half reporting he won't. If you ask me it's a true sign that the media as a whole just havn't got a clue!!!! Which is a bit worrying if you ask me...

[Fulham Broadway 17,299]

When do they have a clue ? Its all speculation, but the more stories about ''he's going there, and he's a useless cunt'' the better.

If he does some more press comferences like the last, all the better, he might get sectioned under the Mental Health Act.
