I’m shocked but I’m not surprised, if that makes sense. Please God don’t let Grant take over full time. Chelsea will now not win anything this year. That’s probably a good thing. I hope it’s a Liverpool vs Arsenal fight down to the wire. With Chelsea third and anyone but ManU fourth (which’ll tip Man U into bankruptcy. Probably.)

Thing is, Mourinho made it look easy, but winning titles just isn’t and the man was seriously talented. Abramovich won’t appreciate what he has thrown away until Chelsea have gone without winning the title for a few more years.

Bye Bye Jose. Thanks for everything.
