Chelsea have today decided to sack manager Avram Grant after just under a season at the club.
Grant took over from Jose Mourinho at Stamford Bridge back in September of last year, much to the dismayal of the Blues fans.
Grant eventually led Chelsea to runners-up spot in the Premier League, Carling Cup and the trophy which I feel mattered the most to Mr Abramovich, the Champions League.
I personally think Grant has been harshly treated. Many people thought Chelsea would go right down hill when he took over but that could not be further from the truth.
Mourinho never got Chelsea to a Champions League final and as soon as the next manager does reach that, he gets sacked.
Frank Rijkaard and Roberto Mancini and said to be among the favourites to take over the Chelsea hot seat. I personally think Mourinho @ 16/1 with most bookmakers is a bit of value.
