He did a terrific job. Mind you they should never have let Jose go but given that, they should have allowed Grant another year.

How close can you get?

They've shortened the odds of Jose returning.

I can't see Jose returning, but stranger things have probably happened.

The sacking of Grant shows how demanding the top clubs have become. 2nd in Premiership and in the final of the Champions League, only losing on a 'sudden death' penalty shoot out. Only one English club did better than that.

From what I hear Chelsea might also be losing some of their top players, so it looks like a fresh start all round for the club next season.
