What next for Chelsea? Well I can see a lot of their top players leaving after the departure of their former manager Jose Mourinho. The have employed Avrim Grant, who in my view, will most definitely not be able to fill the gap left behind by Mourinho. He has only ever managed clubs in Israel and has had a brief spell at Portsmouth working with Harry Redknapp. I thought it was a wasted opportunity for Chelsea when Mourinho left, for them to go out and get a top class manager like Capello, Hiddink or Scolari but they haven't done so.I think the appointment may lead to several players wanting to leave and possibly join whatever side Mourinho takes over (if it is a club not a country). Frank Lampard wasn't even sure if he would stay at Chelsea when Mourinho was their and I think there is a fat chance he will stay their now Grant has been appointed. Another key player, Didier Drogba has made it clear that he is extremely unhappy at the departure of Mourinho and says he won't push himself from getting back from an knee injury to play under Grant at Chelsea.
Many other players have expressed their sadness and I expect that when the season ends and Chelsea have once again failed to win the Champions League(which Mr. Abramovich demanded for Mourinho) then their will a massive influx of departures at Stamford Bridge. I feel that Mr. Abramovich may regret the decision to "part company" with Mourinho once he finds his side trophy less come the end of the season.
