Poor old Avram Grant, he must dread it every time he picks up a newspaper at the moment. Since Salomon Kalou admitted last week that Chelsea had been too defensive under their former coach, and that they were too afraid to attack, others have started to make their feelings better known. I guess the positive […]

It’s highly doubtful that, upon becoming manager of the Blues, Avram Grant was told he had a job for as long as he wanted. Whatever the reasons were behind Jose Mourinho’s departure, it was an abrupt exit which left Chelsea needing a quick fix before the summer of 2008. So they turned to the Israeli, […]

There’s no doubt that Phil Scolari has been brought in at Stamford Bridge to a) win lots of silverware and b) achieve this and still play sexy football.

Money is clearly no object where Chelsea are concerned and it’s probable that the new gaffer will get a lucrative three-year contract and a fat bonus, providing the team manages to win something. There […]

Who would you prefer as your manager - sneaky Sven-Goran Eriksson or Avram Grant? It appears that in the case of Thaksin Shinawatra, the latter ticks all the right boxes as far as a potential replacement for the Swede is concerned. That bastion of truth and honesty, The Sun, reports that the Israeli, who’s currently […]
