Sad to hear that the 'special one' will no longer be in EPL. Looks like speculation is out.
We'll miss the drama for sure. Wonder how other coaches feel if they are in the same situation.
It's going to be a tall order for the next coach to achieve his success.

Times change, managers change.  Realistically any manager with loads of cash or the players Chelsea have should be able to get some sort of success.

Grant has a good background and loads of experience, while he may not be the manager to take Chelsea forward he is a good choice to steady the ship and at least do well this season.
