Everyone knows by now that Avram was sacked (I personally blame Frankom) and Chelsea is in search of a new manager, again. What amazes me is that a guy who has guided a team to such high places, is sacked, the guy before him was sacked, and even Ranieri, who made them better, was sacked, which makes me wonder, what has the world come to?

For the young football fan, Chelsea is famous as a club of under achivements. Up to a few years ago, they were similar to Today's Aston Villa or West Ham, never close to winning with good to average players (Zola is an exception). However, that changed with the influx of money and power from Russia. While money can buy you good players, get you good coaches, it can't get you luck (Lucky Man U), and as a result good coaches get sacked.

Many did not know about Avram before he came to fame, but the job he did at Chelsea, along with Ten Cate, was excellent under the circumstances, they did not lose many games in the league, they battled till the end for all trophies, but yet again, they lost. Terry did not get his penalty, Lampard hit the post, Drogba hit the post, so why would you kick Avram out?

It is a cruel sport, a cruel world, and no manager Chelsea gets will make them win the Champions League, because they are not meant to win it, next year it is for Liverpool (We would have won it had we reached the final, but Luck was aganist us).

Conclusion : Frankom did it.
