An appointment like that would be farcical, too much nostalgia around these days.

One way or other, count Chelsea out of contention for the title now for certain.

I'd give it a go for £70k a week and full control of all transfers.

Bounty Hunter

See my above posts.

More ridiculous news from the merry-go-round.

Who would honestly want to take the job now, although the farcical demands and timeframe probably mean that getting sacked probably isn't a career stain.

eagle eye

No surprise with recent results and the way they have looked on the pitch.

Mancini, Rijkaard or Hiddink?

ShaneU

2 people on shortlist:

Avram Grant and Hiddink

Chong

Guus Hiddink and Avram Grant on shortlist released on Sky.

It will be Hiddink mark my words lads.

SlickRic

grant back as coach with hiddink as director of football according to SSN is a possibility.

bwa ha ha ha ha!!

Mitch Connor

SSN are saying Hiddink as DoF and AVRAM GRANT as manager is a big possibility!

anonymous_joe

Woohoo.

That takes another team out of the title race.

lol @ Grant

Carroller16

I swear


boards.ie should be changed from

boards.ie - "now ye're talkin"

to

boards.ie - "first for breaking news"

was on this site before Sky Sports and BBC dont have it up yet

JPA

Ha. This is ridiculous.

Bounty Hunter

why the hell would they sack grant and pay him big compensation after recently signing a new deal only to rehire him?

_blank_

Jaysis, Grant on the shortlist must be a joke.

James Forde

Keane has to be a favourite!

arch_stanton

linky Stan for the job !

Any intellegent Chelsea fan should welcome him back with open arms. He was fantastic for us. It's a good decision, we still have a chance of the FA cup and the CHampions league but not with Scolari. he cost us our home record as well. Rjikard wouldn't be the worst but Hiddink would be better. Nostalgia wants vialli though

Exactly he brought ye to the CL final, phenomenal achievement.

jaykay74

Who said Chelsea are broke. That compensation package will cost a fortune

stovelid

Grant mustn't have a shred of dignity left if he would even consider going back. And if he does, he should negotiate the mother of all compensation packages.

Should never have been sacked in the first place.

...maybe they haven't paid him yet

matrim

I'm surprised at this and as a Villa fan don't know if it's good or bad news for us.

On the one hand it puts Chelsea in a bit of turmoil right before we play them, but then again they might have new manager syndrome and play fantastic for the rest of the season.

Quint

Van Haal must be on the shortlist too.

chalad07

That sneaky fcuking Russian.....

Getting sacked after 7 months is a joke.

PHB

It's not that great news for non-Chelsea teams. Scolari was sticking with his narrow system which wasn't working. However there's not much a manager can do to change the squad that is just desperately lacking in wingers.

Still, hilarious decision.

GavRedKing

get somebody in temp until the end of the season and bring back the special one, ask any arsenal fan what would you take, winning a trophy or playing with style......i will take my winners medal please.

Villain

Martin O'Neill is not for sale Roman!

whatawaster

I'm not surprised he was sacked, but i'm surprised he was sacked today. Thought they'd leave it till the end of the season.

Who will they go for now? Hiddink would be the best choice i think. Sven? O'Neill? Mancini? Grant?

Pal

Hiddink 11/4 favourite
Mancini 4
Rijkaard 5
Laudrup 7
Mourinho 10
Eriksson 12
Advocaat 14
Deschamps 16
Lippi 16
Hughes 16
Zola 20
Hitzfeld 25
Ramos 25
Van Gaal 25
Houllier 25
O'Neill 33

PHB

Rijkaard with Ten Cate
