Chelsea Sack Scolari!

[FourFourTwo]

It's a cut-throat business. Wonder if he will be able to survive on his pay-off? Likley to be in excess of ?10m!

[Johnboy]

At least some of these clubs down there don't hang about... unlike one up here I can think of.

Roberto di Matteo is the favourite to get the job. Zola says he does not want to leave The Hammers, but that'd probably change when he sees the cash. Quite harsh I think, didn't get a lot of time in the job. Doesn't bother me though, gives Everton a good chance of catching them...

Guus Hiddink and Avram Grant (!!!!) on the shortlist, according to Sky Sports news.

Too late for them to have any realistic chance of winning the Premiership.

[Zoid]

Absolutely delighted.

Steve Clarke must be in with a shout.

[Libero]

didnt see that one coming

[Jinkystan]

Perhaps Brewster will apply for the job !?!?

[Guest Muir-Jaggie]

GREAT NEWS :thumb04:

Shame really i think if he had another season he could give chelsea what jose couldn't, and that was the Champs League. It does seem bizarre to me that Avram Grants name has been sprung considerin he only left 9 months ago.

You could say they are the hearts of the Premiership in some respects

Looking forward to hearing Kenyons spin on this.

Scolari was on a hiding to nothing. Abramovich has withdrawn the wads of cash previous managers had to play with and Scolari had to lift a turgid team unable to bring anyone new in. It speaks volumes when Jon Obi Mikel is picked week in week out despite being rotten at this level.

[Kieran]

Maybe fan pressure played a big part in the sacking as well .

[Linwoodictsc]

that's shocking, they never gave him enough time

imo

Avram Grant?? And i used to think we lacked ambition.

Must admit i am not all that suprised to see him go.

While Scolari has been in charge they have lost there everlasting home record, dropped to many points against teams around them and teams below.
