Avram Grant

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!!!!

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

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.

Hurrah.

Yes please.

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...

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.

You can usually tell when a stroy has some weight to it, they are persistant and don't go away and are the same across the board in the papers. This one is just a massive split. Although the closer we get to the end of the season the more stories about him leaving come out

There are more stories about him leaving in todays press, and getting his £5 million pay off. It's all speculation though, and if the players win the CL with Grant loitering, I've a feeling Abramovich will stick with him for at least another season.

I think the key thing is when Buck refused to say if Grant will stay or will not. If he was to stay, he'd say "yes", but they never say direct "no" when they don't want to unsettle things. So Benfica, please, have him.

It would be hard to argue against giving him another season if he should win the PL or the CL, but if we do keep him it would be a mistake, have no faith in his ability to do anything other than pick a starting 11 and sometimes he can't even do that right!
