Re: Chelsea
I actually think Grant has done a decent job you know.
Maybe not in terms of playing attractive football (and that was the ‘reason’ behind his appointment), but looking at their league position and progression in the Champions’ League – he has more than held his own this year.
Lets not forget that Chelsea got off to a relative stinker under Jose and looked a shadow of the team they were 2 years ago. I think He realised it was going to be another barren year and took the easy option to leave. None of his most recent signings (Alex, Pizzarro, Ben Haim, Boulahrouz or Malouda) have set the Premiership alight now have they?
He had a great impact initially and galvanised an already good team but really struggled when entering his 3rd term.
Given all the in-fighting, injuries and animosity shown towards him – I think Avram has done a good job and the Chelsea fans are far too harsh on him.
Still looks like a gravedigger though when all’s said and done.
