Avram Grant linked to Chelsea

[Big Sam]

I've got two words that sum up how badly he went at the end of his Liverpool stint Alberto Aquilani

Two more words: Xabi Alonso.

Goes to prove what a great captain John Terry is

Wrong 'C' word used methinks.

 

[Jimbo]

Wrong 'C' word used methinks.

Champion?

 

[Haffa]

Champion?

 

[Haffa]

Hahaha, Jimbo.

 

[ShionKai]

Two more words: Xabi Alonso.

More like: Gareth Barry

That would be 'Abramovich' with a 'h.' He's Russian, not Croatian

In any case, I dont think any Chelsea supporter would seriously argue that the club would have seen the same level of success were it not for his support

Although we had been playing Champions League football and were pretty consistent domestically in the five or six years before Abramovich took over, so the Charlton comparison is a bit of a stretch...

Not really. You remember why Bates was selling don't you?

Yes Wirey. Money was a bit tight

We were still getting the job done pretty consistently on the pitch though

Will they sack Benitez before the end of his contract? He must be a little concerned already after being demolished in the second half yesterday.

Surely they must if he doesn't get something soon, otherwise, what the f*ck was the point of getting rid of Di Matteo?

The Daily Mail reckon that Abramovich is going to bring in Avram Grant.

I know it's only the Daily Mail, but Jesus Christ.

Guardian are also reporting it, as a consultation role.

 

[Mong]

I will definitely lol if that happens.

 

[whall15]

Avram Grant is sure to motivate the players...

Chelsea rule out return of Grant

So were Leeds.

Sadly what happens on the pitch is not everything in the EPL.

Fulham have a rich owner, so they would be above you know, forget the North London teams, you cannot compete with them.

You could of easily of done a Charlton, slipped slowly down the league then dropped out of the top flight.

Hypotheticals can be fun

Money isn't everything either. Liverpool's recent fortunes is evidence enough of that
