The whole bunch of them heads dont know what to do and dont have a heart to appreciate the good one does. How the hell do they think by prophesy or word of mouth they can win everything. Or do they think money kicks the ball? Do they at any momment ever realise that on the soccer pitch there are two teams and each team prepares adequately to conquer the other? Look guys, this is a game and all teams cant be first. The same Man U who are champs at some time were not doing well but they stuck on with the same coach. what we are seeing now are the results of patience. This justifies that Jose shouldnt have been fired in the first place. I hope all prospective coaches are aware of what lies ahead of them if they pick a job at circus chelsea...Suppose let Roman coach the team then there will be nobody to fire...come guys let us have feelings for others and the game.....

Any manager was doomed to fail. This time, if it's Rijkaard, Mancini, or whomever, and they don't bring home important silverware, there won't be an Avram Grant to blame. Fans will start to look higher on the org chart, straight at Peter Kenyon and Bruce Buck. After all, Abramovich can't fire himself! http://startingeleven.blogspot.com/2008/05/starting-eleven-football-blog-roundup_27.html Following Mourinho, Grant was doomed to fail.

And Kenyon is the epitome of all that. Grant was always going to be the sacrificial lamb in a culture where instant success is seen as a substitute for tradition, loyalty and decency. It's nice to know that there are still some things that money can't buy. Chelsea is a Frankenstein football club - put together with mercenaries on Russian money.

The two club who are traditionally the most successful in England have shown that stability in the managerial position leads to consistency. Here you have an owner who thinks he knows about football but doesn't. Grant actually did a better job than Mourinho at getting the team to actually play football instead of grinding out results. Too bad, because they've certainly made the league more interesting. Oh well, all the better for us. Beginning of the end for Chelski.

As much as I wanted to see Cheating Chelsea lose the CL and as much as I can’t bear Mourinho’s shrill, win at all costs approach - Avram Grant and Roman Abramovich come off looking much worse than The Special One.

Jose is so right. You have to win.

Winning is beautiful.

Would be a good slogan for a sporting goods company.

There was Just Do It, then Impossible in Nothing, then… Almost is Nothing.
