Poll Question of the Day: If John Terry scores their fifth penalty in Moscow and the Pensioners are European Champions, is Avram Grant still the manager at Chelsea?….
Please answer Yes or No…
Either way, today’s decision to fire him is very strange.
1. Is it just because they were runners-up in the two toughest competitions? If so, woe betide the next bloke in the hot seat for the Pensioners.
2. Is it because the ‘Powers-that-Be’ and the fans in S.W.6. want to see attractive football? If that’s the case would he still have been fired if they had won the league and/or E.C.L. whilst playing in their not-so-attractive style?…
3. Is it because Abramovich is such a meglomaniac that everyone on the board is scared of losing their own positions and therefore until they win a major trophy they will toe-the-line with Roman’s positions and keep firing their managers?
4. Is it because Spurs beat them in the League Cup Final? Quite a good reason some might say.
5. Is it because the Villa beat them 2-0 at Villa Park and then the “Superstars” only just managed a fortunate draw 4-4 at home?
I think you know the answer…
Claret & Light Blue and glad I’m not a Chelsea fan…and yet thinking about when I quite liked them (1965-1971)…
