I don't know... eight months into a supposed four year contract, you finish second in the Football Premiership and come within one penalty-kick of winning the European Championship. Result: Not good enough, you're Fired !
It defies belief. After hardly losing a match and having the unenviable job of following a character like Jose Morinho, Avram Grant has been forcefully ejected. Surely it was worth building on this first eight months for the following season? This would have been the sensible thing to do, but sensible and big money Football don't tend to be the best of friends.
Well, there you have it, that is the world of Football or more accurately, the world of Chelsea Football club. A club backed by a Russian Billionaire who thinks he's not seeing a great return for his money. This is a sport after all, but it's becoming increasingly easy to forget in an environment where big money talks and any problem or shortcoming can presumably by solved by a sacking and throwing more money at it.
It seems now perhaps likely that Chelsea have had a high-profile replacement manager in mind for some time. Who could it be? It will have to be someone with a sense of humour. A precedent has now been set that if you finish second, you're out!
If he can work on the sense of humour bit, my money is on Bobby Davro.
