@ Viva,
That’s precisely what I was saying. A few of us on here are still living in the shadow of Jose, we need to move on from that era and accept the fact that he isn’t coming back. Besides, Jose may have won back to back league titles and the FA and League Cups but that isn’t to say that he didn’t make mistakes. Mourinho was a very, very good manager but for one reason or another Abramovich decided that his time at the Bridge was up.
He has gone now but this should not mean that Avram should continue to be made the symbol of our discontent towards the club, he just happens to be the man who has been put in place after the ‘special one’.
Give Grant the credit that he deserves, just because he has taken the hottest seat in football at the moment doesn’t mean that we should allow ourselves to ignore his qualities.

What is all this thing about off loading Belleti? belleti had one poor match in the CC finals then suddenly is a poor player? he was till then easily one of the top two performers in our team. why are we so fickle? Belleti is a player to keep to strengthen our attacking right flank. frankly i rate his surging runs and attacking contributions down that flank better than all we have except essien. I mean, operating purely on the right flank, I will place his crosses and penetrations even better than Joey (who for all his great form has not been that incisive on the right flank.

@71…
We must accept it for he deserved to receive the Manager of the Month. EVen though most of us think he does not affect much on current Chelsea players and tactics, let us enjoy this thrilling and exciting moments. He deserves the award, and so we deserved this exciting moment where Chelsea goes on the wire with Man UTd in the barclay’s as well as the Champions League. If the players are happy with Avram, why shouldnt we? Lets hope the next manager can give more than when Avram is with Chelsea. If it does not, do not curse the next manager.Give him chance like we could give to Avram. I dont think Avram enjoys handling Chelsea, but with patience, we are now shadowing Man Utd. Be open minded, learn to accept the weakness in this team as we accept our own weaknesses as human being. Be considerate and learn how to respect each other like the players with Avram. It is not easy being human and being Avram himself.

AG the manager of the month MY ARSE, that what i feared soon the press will be saying that AG is in the same category of JM, SAF, RB,or AW, MOTM my arse.
J Cole was influencial and a good player but for me carvalho has been oustanding.
Another topic did you guys read the interview given by ballack? did he mentioned that chelsea squad has enough quality to win? did he ever mentioned AG as the reason of success? Well it may cost ballack a week wages penalty.

Yeah but Moyo, Clarke can’t be named manager of the month because, well, he isn’t the manager! Although I’m sure you’re already very aware of this.
I personally believe that Avram deserves this accolade however because – despite the draw against Wigan – we’ve been ringing up extremely good results. We’ve beaten both United and UEFA Cup chasing Everton and knocked out Liverpool. The award has been coming and if not for this month Grant deserves the award for the performances and results preceding this.
On another point, Joe Cole being awarded our player of the year is fully deserved and I don’t think that anybody can argue against this. It’s recognition for his hard work and great displays in a Chelsea shirt throughout the year and he’s by far away our most creative player – despite what Grant and Jose may have thought – just think, the Carling Cup final could have been so different if Joe had featured from the start.

Hey guys; this is the latest joke by the FA….. Avram Grant has been named the Barclays premier league manager of the month…. lol

I know we have been getting the results but….. i mean…. Grant is getting all the credit that is meant for STEVE CLARKE.

I agree with you Pandayumyum, I really do feel that a mass exodus could well be the worst thing that Abramovich could do right now but as we know, he has got a track record of doing as he pleases without thinking about the wants or needs of others when it comes to this team.
I think that Drogba is nailed on to be leaving at the end of the season – presumably to wherever Jose ends up – but I hope that Lampard stays along with a host of the first team. We could do with say two or three signings in the right places but far from mass departures at the club, that includes keeping Avram at the helm.
I was one to keep the faith in Grant and although that nearly completely vanished his recent press conferences have proven to me that the man does have a personality and dropping to his knees at the final whistle of the Liverpool match just goes to show what that meant to him. If he has the right team of assistants around him we can mover forward under him, you don’t need a ‘big name’ manager to bring success, after all they all have to start somewhere.
