Unless you’ve been living in an underground bunker for the past few weeks, there is something of a financial crisis taking place all over the world at the moment. Share prices have been sinking quicker than the Titanic, and the footballing world has certainly not been immune to the global meltdown, with the Russian oligarchs […]

An increasing phenomenon in the Premier League is for chairman, owners and other directors to sign players for the team rather than the actual manager. While some clubs have the two parties working in harmony (Arsenal for example), there are many others where the gaffer is given a player that they may or may not […]

We’ll let you guess which newspaper is getting its knickers in a twist over Chelsea losing a shedload of cash on players this summer. After all, when you’ve got a practically bottomless pit of cash and an intention to become the biggest club in the world, it can hardly be a concern that you’re operating […]

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.

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.

The Daily Mirror reports that the Italian has rejected the opportunity to replace Avram Grant, days after Carlo Ancelotti also shunned Kenyon & Co […]

What is it about £2 million Ferrari’s that seems to bring even the staunchest enemies back to together? Upset that your mate fired you? Would a few million pounds for less than a years work heal those wounds?
The Telegraph is reporting that Roman and the Special One could be having a reunion sooner than we […]

Whether or not you think the sacking of Avram Grant was right or wrong, nobody can be in any doubt that the former Chelsea was substantially compensated for his (un)timely departure. The Times report that the Israeli’s bumper pay-off by the moneybags club ensured he earned roughly £1million for every month that he managed the […]

As we all know, it’s impossible to know what Roman Abramovich’s thoughts are regarding Chelsea FC and the future of manager Avram Grant.
