Play the game, Chelsea...

I'm sorry, Avram Grant, but you had it coming to you.

You may have taken Chelsea to the Carling Cup Final, you may have helped Chelsea to finish second in the 2007/08 Premier League (just two points behind champions Man United), you may have steered Chelsea to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup and the Final of the Champions League, (losing out only penalties), but if you thought that was the sort of standard that would cut the mustard in this modern era, you were seriously mistaken.

Frankly you deserve to have your contract terminated so you can go off and gain employment elsewhere... like a club that appreciates your efforts and is only too pleased to achieve one of the above, let alone all four.

Good luck, Avram - we hope you go onto bigger and better things than Chelsea Football Club.
